The sentence under your ring, "Ten slots. No endless backlog", is easier to read on the lighter colour themes now. The focus timer learns from you: once you have finished a task under a countdown three times, its start sheet opens on the length that task has actually taken, and "Go again" uses it too. Until then nothing changes, and it never tells you that you are slow. Look back (Pro) gets two new figures. One shows which part of the day you finish most things in, and says plainly when there is no real pattern. The other compares days you finished one of your three with the other days you finished something. It only compares: it cannot tell whether setting your three is why.

**v1.13** — The timer answers the phone, and Look back stops guessing. A focus session no longer has to survive on all-or-nothing. Pause it from the Lock Screen when a call comes in, resume when you're back, and the countdown picks up exactly where it stopped — the time you spent waiting isn't counted as focus. You can start a session without opening the app at all: ask Siri, or let a Shortcuts automation do it when you get to work. Look back now knows how much of your focused time went on the three you said mattered that morning, and its repeats card has stopped counting completions and started measuring them — weekly things you actually kept up read as kept up. Your tasks turn up in Spotlight with something useful on them now, not just a title: which list they're in, their context, their steps, whether they repeat. And when you add a task, First10 can suggest a context based on how you have filed that word before — it suggests, you decide, and it learns from both.

**v1.12** — Repeats that go the distance, and Later grows up. Some things only come round once a year. First10 now repeats every three months and yearly as well, and a monthly, quarterly or yearly task keeps the day of the month you chose — finish one late and the next no longer turns up already overdue. Later has grown up too: ask Siri to put something straight into Later without spending one of your ten, and a Later task with a date finally says where it stands on its own row, in the past tense, with no red badge. Your tasks and your whole completion history export as CSV now, beside the JSON, so a year of them opens in Numbers or Excel. The Voice screen lets you hear every voice on your iPhone before you pick one, and points you at the free Enhanced and Premium downloads only if you are actually missing them. With Pro: your ten get a sweep of their own — the slots that have sat untouched, a handful at a time, to keep, drop or send to Later. Both briefs can set the day's three now, the evening one for tomorrow while today is still fresh and the morning one for the day ahead. Look back stretches to a full year. And dictation knows your own vocabulary — your contexts, and the words in your own task titles — so a name stops coming back as something else. Fixed: a reminder's Complete and Snooze buttons work on a repeating task from its second occurrence onward; a recurring task finished from the widget keeps reminding; Control Center's New Task works every time rather than once a day; streaks and charts no longer stop dead in the places where daylight saving changes at midnight; the speaker, search and settings buttons scroll away with the header instead of hovering over your list and swallowing taps meant for a task; and the cards that squeezed their text at the largest accessibility sizes have room for it now.

First10 now opens with a few quick questions instead of three pages to read. Pick the contexts you'll actually use — Work, Personal, Shopping and the rest — and they're waiting before your first task. Choose an accent colour and watch it land as you tap. Turn the morning brief and evening wrap on right there, or leave them off. Already using First10? Settings > About > "Show the intro again" gets you the same pickers. The Pro screen is rebuilt too: what you get is grouped so you can actually skim it, and once you've bought it First10 tells you plainly which parts are working on your iPhone.

v1.10 — Ask, and look back. Ask Siri to read your day and it will, without opening the app. "What should I do now?" now answers everyone — First10 picks the one task and says why — and Pro adds its own reasoning on top. Your focus sessions are finally remembered: Look back gains a Focus card showing the time you actually spent, how many sessions ran to the end, and your best day. Finish one and you can start the next straight away. The small widget and the Lock Screen widget can tick a task off now, not just show it. And anything sitting a long time in Later says how long.

v1.9.1 — Fixes. Saying "mark it done" to Siri no longer stops a repeating task from reminding you again. The Complete and Snooze buttons on a reminder now work on repeating tasks too. Finishing a focused task by voice properly ends the session on your Lock Screen. Tasks added or completed by voice now show up in Spotlight and in the next day's brief straight away. The large widget has a layout of its own instead of borrowing the medium one, and shows more of your ten. And Control Center's New Task button opens the new-task sheet, which is what it always said it did.

v1.9 — Small fixes. Task badges now wrap instead of squashing at the largest text sizes. Search results show your notes the same way Spotlight does, with checklist marks tidied away. And a task you tick off from the widget no longer nags you with its reminder afterwards. First10 now runs properly on iPad, and your ten sync between iPhone and iPad with Pro. You can also add a task, tick one off, or ask what's next with Siri — just say it, without opening the app.

v1.8 — Focus. Pro gains a focus timer: pick one of your ten, start the clock, and finish it — counting down on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. Nothing is ticked off behind your back; when the time is up First10 just asks whether you finished, and "not yet" costs you nothing. Pro also gains Later sweep: a pass through the oldest things in your backlog, a handful at a time — keep, drop or bring one into your ten, with a single undo for the whole pass. Your ten slots are still ten.

v1.7 — Look back. Pro gains History & stats — how many you finished, how long things sat in your ten before you did them, your perfect-day streak — and a weekly reflection in a few honest lines, written on your iPhone. For everyone: drag to reorder your ten, weekday and every-two-weeks repeats, your tasks in Spotlight, and a JSON export of everything in Settings.

v1.6 — Sync. First10 Pro now keeps the same ten on every iPhone and iPad, over your own iCloud — we never see it. Turn it on in Settings; turning it off, or a refund, never deletes anything. Everything else stays exactly as it was.

v1.5 — Voice & depth. Tap the speaker on your day to hear your targets, what's due and how many slots are free — and the assistant can now listen and talk back. Add steps inside a task (Pro) without spending a slot on each. Search everything, including what you finished weeks ago. Give tasks a context like Home or Work and filter — your ten are still your ten. Plus morning briefs, evening wraps and Later triage (Pro).

v1.4 — Edit, undo, actionable reminders, and app icons. Edit a task's title or note any time, undo a complete/delete/clear from a 5-second banner, and push an overdue task to tomorrow with one tap. Reminders now carry Complete and Tomorrow buttons right on the notification. Add a "New Task" button to Control Center. And First10 Pro adds an alternate app icon for each accent color.

Later, repeats, reminders, and a Home Screen widget. Capture ideas to Later without spending one of your ten. Set tasks to repeat daily, weekly or monthly. Add a due time and get a gentle reminder. And put your slots on your Home or Lock Screen — tap a task right in the widget to check it off. All free. New in Pro: an assistant that runs entirely on your iPhone. Chat to add and tick things off, speak a task instead of typing it, and get a suggestion for what to do next. One payment, no subscription — and your tasks still never leave your iPhone.
