This update includes many changes and may still have imperfections or bugs. We will keep improving in 1.9.X, and feedback is always welcome.

Project Due Dates (Beta)

Calendar View Redesign

The calendar view has been redesigned, and you can now swipe left/right to switch months.

Task List Refactor (Beta)

We completely rewrote the task list code to significantly improve list performance. Since lists appear in many places, this update only covers the Inbox, Schedule, Calendar, and Project Details views. Other lists will be updated in future releases, so the experience may differ between views for now. Thanks for your understanding.

🚀 Version 1.8.3

Released: January 25, 2026

🚀 Version 1.8.2

Released: January 18, 2026

• Fixed the issue about inbox tasks count.

🚀 Version 1.8.0

Released: January 14, 2026

Major Update: Scheduled Date

• Add a "Scheduled Date" to tasks to display them on specific dates in the Schedule and Calendar views. "Scheduled Date" can replace "Due Date" for scheduling tasks on specific dates without the pressure of overdue warnings if you can't complete them on time. This ensures "Due Date" is only used to record the actual final deadline for tasks.
• When tasks are not completed by their "Scheduled Date", they will automatically roll over to the "Today" list in the Schedule view. Simply long press to access the menu and quickly reschedule.
• After adding a "Scheduled Date", you can further add a "Scheduled End Date". Tasks with both dates will be displayed on every day between the two dates in the Schedule/Calendar views until you complete the task or reschedule it.

Major Update: Subtask List in Task Details

• You can now view the complete subtask list directly in task details and add new subtasks directly.

Other Updates

• Support sharing text, links, and images from other apps directly to Locus to create tasks in the inbox.
• In Preferences, you can choose which tasks are counted in the app icon badge.
• Fixed an issue where the collapse animation was abnormal when there were many subtasks.

• Added missing localization translations for some strings.

The search feature is still in its early stages and meets basic search needs. We will continue to optimize it in the future.

Previously, the default due time for tasks was 21:00. Now you can customize the default due time in Settings.

Inbox Logic Optimization

Previously, when you set a due date for a subtask of an inbox task, it would be removed from the inbox, which could be confusing. Now such subtasks will remain in the inbox until their parent task is removed from the inbox.

• "Events" no longer appear in the Next Actions view

🚀 Version 1.4.7

Released: December 1, 2025

Review Mode Optimization

• Simplified the interaction logic of Review Mode.

Instead, they tend to review in order, so we only keep "Review" and "Skip" buttons at the bottom of the screen. You can always view skipped items in your next review session.
