The menu bar panel has two tabs now — today's list and the focus timer — so starting a session no longer hides the list behind a panel with one way back. Pick a date from a calendar. Every task's date menu opens a month you can click, for the days "today", "tomorrow" and "next week" don't cover. A task that already has a time keeps it. ⌘⏎ in quick-add adds the task and leaves the panel open, for when you sat down with four things to get out of your head rather than one. Fixes: the add field in the menu bar panel keeps the cursor after the first character you type, and quick-add opens with the cursor already in the field.

Set a focus length however suits you: drag the scale, swipe it with two fingers, nudge it with the arrow keys, or click the countdown and type it, 25, 10:30 and 1h30m all work. The scale clicks as you move it, and on a Force Touch trackpad you feel each step as well with a duller one at either end so you know you've run out of scale. The app reads in Avenir. The old system face is still in Settings under Typeface. Fixes: the floating timer now stays visible over full-screen apps which is where a focus session usually happens and its toggle in Settings applies the moment you flip it.

The focus timer arrives. Drag to any length, or use the Pomodoro cycle — the countdown shows on your wallpaper and in the menu bar, with a floating timer for when you need it in front of everything. Timers up to 10 minutes are free. Three new wallpaper templates: Terminal, Timeline and Receipt. Timeline puts your tasks and your meetings on one spine, in the order the day happens. Nine new typefaces, including Didot, Futura and Baskerville, and six new paper textures isometric, seigaiha waves, topographic contours and more. Your calendar on the wallpaper, with an icon that suits each event: a cake for a birthday, a fork for lunch, a camera for a meeting. Meeting links open with a click. Use your own photo as the wallpaper background, with your list drawn over it. Nine positions for the block instead of four, plus real control over column width, type size and the margin. A redesigned window that lets your desktop show through, a rebuilt menu-bar panel that separates what's overdue from what's due, and multi-select with bulk actions. Fixes: restoring your previous wallpaper now stays restored; new calendar accounts and remote calendar changes are picked up without a relaunch.
