Simplified purchasing: one-time Pro upgrade replaces previous subscription model. Improved sleep and lid-close detection for more accurate activity tracking. Bug fixes and stability improvements.

1.7.0 is a big one. Here's what's new: Introducing Committed Mode: lock yourself into a session with strictly enforced breaks. No skipping, no shortening. It's calendar-aware too, so if a meeting is coming up, your break adjusts automatically. We've also polished the session and meeting panels from top to bottom, added clamshell detection (close your MacBook lid, Lifeline goes idle), and squashed a pile of bugs that had been lurking since 1.6. On the cleanup side: we removed Working Hours and Star Ratings to keep things focused on what matters, your tomatoes. Minimum macOS is now Catalina (10.15).

Simple, one-time pricing. We’re simplifying things: Lifeline is now available as a one-time purchase. No more monthly or annual subscriptions—just a single payment for lifetime access. Already a subscriber? You’re all set. Your existing plan has been automatically upgraded to lifetime access at no extra cost. Thanks for supporting Lifeline. We’re excited to keep helping you stay focused, for the long run.

We've refined our Product Tour with an improved onboarding experience to help you get started with Lifeline more quickly and intuitively. We’re also introducing Daily Focus Reports: Start your day with personalized email summaries showing your previous day's accomplishments, focus stats, and productivity insights. These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to help you build better work habits and stay productive. We'd love to hear your feedback!

We've fixed a minor bug that required you to double-click all buttons in Lifeline's panels. With this update, you can simply click once, as you’d expect from a button.

What's new in Lifeline 1.6.9: • Improved end-of-session notifications: No more cursor grabbing, and notifications now fade away smoothly to maintain your focus. • New welcome screen and guided product tour for first-time users. • Various bug fixes and stability improvements. We're constantly refining Lifeline to help you stay focused and boost your productivity. Thank you for your continued support!

Real-time session updates: See your Lifeline adjust instantly as you change your session length, with time markers showing your new end time. Meeting adjustments: Meeting masters, you can now adjust meeting length while you're in one. Bug fixes: We've squashed a few pesky bugs to make your Lifeline experience even smoother. Thanks for using Lifeline - we're always working to help you stay focused and productive.

A small but noticeable update: The break timer now shows random, rest-related emojis. Get ready to be surprised and inspired!

In this release, we’ve improved the subscription screen to present our various Pro plans better, making it easier to choose the option that best fits your needs. We’ve also fixed several bugs, including meeting reminders and calendar sync issues.

Our last auto-launch-related update, promise. We’ve further tweaked the automated starting of sessions—you can now see and control the feature’s snoozing from the taskbar dropdown menu. Sadly for them, some bugs also had to say goodbye to Lifeline this release.

The auto-launch feature is back with a bang! Completely redesigned, it's now easier than ever to see when Lifeline has automatically started a session. You can pause or cancel this feature from a convenient panel. Auto-launch now drops you straight into a session again instead of just bringing up the launch panel. This change means you can set Lifeline to work seamlessly in the background, keeping you focused without any extra effort. We're also happy to report we've resolved an issue with the knowledge base link in the taskbar menu.

Here's your Lifeline 1.6.2 update, featuring small yet noticeable improvements. Pomodoro enthusiasts can now enjoy a ticking clock sound in the background. Enable it under Preferences > Sounds. We've refreshed the break screen, replacing the good old palm trees with a new visual surprise. Take a break to discover the change! Closing the session launch panel and snoozing auto-launch is now more intuitive and convenient. Just press the little X. We've also fixed several minor issues, including the "right-click taskbar icon to start session" functionality in Preferences. (It now launches you straight into a session as before.) We hope the 1.6.2 update brings you more focus and enjoyable breaks!

The auto-launch and meeting features no longer feel left out—they’ve also received their well-deserved paint job in this release. We’ve also fixed a few minor other issues and bugs.

Say goodbye to the rusty panels you've grown accustomed to! We've revamped Lifeline's main interface elements with a sleek and modern design, making it more visually appealing and easier to navigate. We've eliminated redundant and confusing pop-ups, such as the notorious extended meeting notification. The taskbar menu has also undergone a thorough clean-up, making it more organized and user-friendly. We've squashed numerous bugs and made various enhancements to further optimize your Lifeline experience.

We’ve overhauled Lifeline’s data infrastructure so that we have more accurate product analytics in the future. This change allows us to focus our work on features that matter most to you and do a better job introducing functionalities you’re not yet aware of. Note that we only collect product-usage data, like whether you used a specific feature. All sensitive information is stored locally and never leaves your computer, such as the session labels you input and the calendar events you sync with Lifeline. We’ve also made minor UX improvements on some features. For example, you can now cancel a session you started by accident. Of course, we’ve also fixed a few minor bugs.

We’ve tweaked our new smooth idle detection feature and fixed a problem with subscription purchases. Lifeline now also expands when you adjust your session length, so you can SEE what time it will end.

Instead of warning you before becoming inactive, Lifeline now asks you afterward whether to keep that period as part of your session or consider it inactive (break) time. This subtle change is much less disruptive to your workflow than getting a prompt every time you don't use your mouse or keyboard for a few minutes. Lifeline Pro now also expands when the label window appears at the start of your session. This feature lets you see when your session will finish, and your lifeline adjusts in real-time to any changes you make to your session length. We've also made various other tweaks and fixed some bugs.

The crashing bug keeps bugging us. A handful of people continued to experience crashes with our previous, 1.4.21 update. We found another potential cause and expect this version fixes that problem.

Some people STILL experienced crashes on M1 macs with our previous update. We found another potential cause and are again hopeful this version fixes that problem. Fingers crossed.

Some people experienced crashes with our previous update. This version fixes that problem. If you didn't update yet, this version also has changes behind Lifeline's scenes so that we can soon send you celebratory emails when you hit certain tomato milestones. Be on the lookout for them! We've also improved the trial and subscription experience and, of course, fixed a bunch of bugs.

Lifeline sometimes doesn't count tomatoes in the review panel in the current version. Oh no! Luckily, we've fixed the issue. We've also fixed a few other minor bugs with Lifeline's Preferences window and daily info panel.

We’ve expanded the floating info panel with more information and several shortcuts. You can turn this on in Preferences > Sessions and try it out. In the last update, The “Start Meeting” menu item was lost but found again in this update. We’ve also tweaked the timing of rewards and notifications at the end of your session, so they show up at the right time and not much later. Plus, as usual, some other minor tweaks and bug fixes.

We’ve made small interface and user experience tweaks in this version of Lifeline. Plus, we squashed a bunch of bugs.
