Drop 15.4 — October 12

What’s new? Onboarding * The onboarding sequence on a fresh install has been re-done. Still not complete, but you should already get a much better sense of what timing is if you’re coming at it as a new user. This will continue to be refined, and we’re also…

Drop 15.3 — October 11

What’s improved? Entry * Height of date and time keyboards slightly reduced, so the transition to them in/out should be more fluid, as well as to ensure the [Save] button doesn’t encroach on the phone’s safe area/status bar (therefore not being tappable on smaller phones) Entry…

Drop 15.2 — October 8

What’s improved? Today * Time to your next event is displayed alongside the current time, when nothing is happening right now. * Text when you having nothing left for today factors in time of day. * Serif font removed for font family consistency/cohesiveness.

Drop 15 — October 2

Good evening 👋 In case you missed it, we dropped 14.1 earlier this week with more incremental updates and several fixes. Tonight though, it’s (another) big one. When we dropped our planner a couple of weeks ago, it had an (important) missing piece: planning your day. Not after today…

Drop 14.1 — September 27

What’s improved? Calendar * Should be able to better distinguish between week number and dates in pulldown, as the former now rotated. Hero Day * In split-screen mode, if you switch between different days and then hit the [back] button, you’ll smoothly transition back into the Stream. * Tasks sorted in…

Drop 13 — September 16

Hello Friends, Happy Friday. In case you missed it, we dropped two minor updates earlier this month. Today though is a really big one. Reid Hoffman once famously said “if you’re proud of your v1, you’ve shipped too late”… well it seems like we’ve missed the memo…

Drop 12 — August 30

Hello Friends 👋 We were watching a few month old demo of timing that was recorded before our first drop. It has come a long way! This is largely due to the conversations we’ve had learning about your relationship with time and calendars. Thank you again for letting us into…

Drop #9 — July 24

Good evening 😴 In every customer call, when someone was about to interact with our entry’s time keyboard, I would take a deep breath. To be clear, it had a clever design — arguably too clever for its own good. On the few occasions it worked in these calls, it scored…
