Blog upgrade We've improved how Next Blog content is stored and delivered behind the scenes. Posts are now served from a dedicated cloud database, which means faster loading times, better reliability, and a much more stable experience overall - no more hiccups if the old server was having a bad day. Nothing changes on your end - just open the blog and enjoy reading as usual. But trust us, it's a big deal under the hood. Other changes - Replaced Email and Telegram with a built-in ‘Contact us’ form - getting in touch is now faster and easier, right from the app - General usability and performance improvements

Finance Introducing Next Finance, a comprehensive end-to-end Personal Finance Management solution with Payments, Accounts, Budget, Currency Converter, and more. What is a Task? It is something that we need to do. What is a Payment? It is also something that we need to do with our money. Both require planning, organizing, logging, and tracking. All attributes of a task are equally applicable to a payment. We plan them in advance and mark them as done when paid. If not paid on time, they become overdue. We recur them regularly, such as loan payments. We need to remember them, so reminders come into play. We may expect a payment from someone or need to pay someone, so we assign them. We may need to attach a receipt to a payment. We may need to flag it to check something later. Aren’t we already doing all this with our tasks? So why should we treat them differently? Why keep separate apps for these very similar and very closely related activities, especially given the interdependency between the two? Not anymore. Now every task in Next can be turned into a payment by simply adding an amount from the task menu. Every List that has a task with a payment automatically becomes an Account with a balance. Every Tag that is associated with a payment automatically becomes a Budget Category. All of this is complemented by a built-in Currency Converter with automatic exchange rate updates.

Schedules Schedules is the successor to the Tag groups feature, offering more flexibility by allowing you to create yearly task schedules under a single tag or group of tags. Available from the Tools menu. Overdue Instead of postponing overdue tasks only to today, you can now select an exact date and time. This option is also available through the Bulk Change menu. Rollover Automatically rollover overdue tasks to today after midnight. Configurable per task in due date settings. Other changes - Fixed an issue that could prevent saving task details created by Assistant - Fixed an issue that could cause task toolbar buttons to be unresponsive on older iOS versions - Fixed missing details for recurring task instances and tasks created from templates - Fixed missing details in notifications - Help topics now include related blog articles - Unified and refined color picker throughout the app - Tags moved to the Home screen toolbar - Tools moved to Main add button menu - General usability and performance improvements

Month view Managing tasks effectively requires both perspective and detail. The new calendar mode provides the flexibility to switch between week and month views, each designed to support different planning needs. Available under the Calendar mode menu on the main screen. Public holidays import Easily add all public holidays for any country to Next. From the Home screen main menu, choose a country to import its holidays directly into your calendar, keeping your schedule up to date without manual entry. Links We live in a world full of links - everyone shares, saves, and passes them around. Now you can attach links to tasks, and not just by pasting long URLs into task details, but by wrapping them with titles into clean, visually appealing labels. Accessible at the bottom of the task menu. Rich text formatting Task details now fully support rich formatting. Select any text and use standard iOS controls to apply bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, font size, color, bullets, numbering, and more.

Ads After careful considerations we’ve decided to implement ads in Next. We understand that ads can sometimes be frustrating. Most often, this happens when ads are implemented incorrectly - shown at the wrong place, at the wrong time, or in an intrusive way. When done properly, however, ads can be relevant and even helpful, providing useful information without interrupting your workflow. In Next, ads help support the ongoing maintenance, keep our servers running, cover operational costs, and fund the development of new features and improvements. By serving ads responsibly, we can avoid distraction for users while covering our needs. Premium users have the option to disable ads.

Dedicated archive view Archived lists are now displayed in their own dedicated view, fully separated from active lists. This allows easier navigation, clearer organization, and faster access to archived content. The archive can be opened directly from the lists menu. Default priority Set a default priority for all new tasks to streamline your workflow. This option is available in Settings, allowing you to automatically assign the chosen priority to every new task you create. Other changes - Improved blogs image loading speed - Fixed a bug that could prevent loading a help topic from a valid link - General usability and performance enhancements

iOS 26 Support Next has been redesigned from the ground up to fully support iOS 26, integrating all the latest features and functionalities, including Liquid Glass, providing a sleek, responsive, and visually immersive experience throughout the app. Tag groups enhancements We recently introduced a new feature, Tags – Year plan with Tag groups, which makes it easy to visualize important dates in one clear, layered view. The feature quickly became popular, with users requesting the ability to change a Tag group’s icon and tint color - so here it is. Available under Tag group - Edit menu. Basic vs Premium We’ve spent substantial time analyzing the core needs of efficient task management versus the value of advanced premium tools, aiming to strike the right balance for users who prefer a basic solution and those who want powerful support to achieve their goals. This work resulted in a carefully detailed and finely tuned subscription model, described in the profile section. Other changes - Option to remove all completed instances of a recurring task at once - General usability and performance enhancements

Manage list groups and task sections List groups and task sections help you stay organized by grouping related items together. You can now rename or delete both. - List groups: Open the lists main menu, select Manage groups, then tap a group to rename or delete it. - Task sections: Open the tasks main menu, select Manage sections, then tap a section to rename or delete it. Introducing Tags bar When a task list includes tasks with more than one tag, a Tags bar becomes available above the list. The Tags bar provides a quick way to filter and view only the tasks associated with specific tags, helping you focus on the items most relevant at the moment. You can easily enable or disable the Tags bar at any time from the task list menu, depending on whether you want to keep the view simplified or tag-focused. List specific due date Next already offers flexible due date settings, allowing conditional or fixed dates and automatic time adjustments. With the new list-level due dates, each list can now override the global default for its new tasks. Other changes - Default sounds added for reminders and Pomodoro notifications - Quickly postpone tasks by 1 hour or 1 day from the task menu - New simplified list editing with all settings moved to list menu - Fixed date format display issue in tasks - Option to recreate the Welcome list from the About screen - Hiding or showing closed tasks no longer requires reopening the list - Tasks can now be deleted using the standard iOS swipe gesture - General usability and performance enhancements

Whether it is public holidays, family events, school breaks, or potential annual leave days, you can visualize all important dates in one clear, layered view. This makes it easier to spot overlaps, plan vacations, or simply get a better overview of how your year is shaping up. Quickly add tasks to sections You can now add tasks directly into a section. Simply tap and hold a section title to create a new task within it. This makes organizing your lists faster and more intuitive, while still allowing you to create tasks outside of any section if you prefer. Add from Clipboard Clipboard content is now monitored and detected text is offered for quick task creation. Multiple reminders You can now set multiple reminders for a single task, giving you greater flexibility and control. Reminders can be scheduled on the due date itself or at different intervals before it, helping you stay organized and never miss a deadline.

Custom RAG colors By default, Next uses the following RAG (Red-Amber-Green) color scheme based on a task's due date: - Red – the due date has passed - Amber – the due date is today - Green – the due date is in the future - Black – the task has no due date You can now customize these colors to better match your workflow or visual preferences. Other changes - Improved loading speed for Blog images - General usability and performance enhancements

My day PDF export Export your day schedule to a PDF file for review with your trainer, nutritionist, dietitian, or simply to share with a friend. List PDF export Sometimes plain text does not suffice, and a more refined format is needed for presenting records. Alongside the existing text export option, lists can now be exported as PDF files, accessible via the list's Share menu. List progress Recognizing the importance of tracking progress, we have introduced a progress indicator that can be enabled or disabled for every list individually through the list editing screen. Collapsible list groups You’ve been requesting this feature for a while, and though other priorities delayed its release, it’s finally here. List groups can now be collapsed, just like task sections.

With advanced prioritization, you can now assign priority levels ranging from 1 to 50. This added granularity ensures your tasks are sorted with even greater precision, tailored exactly to your needs. Searching Global search in Next is a powerful tool for finding anything you need.

Additionally, the search settings allow you to define exactly what should be matched during your searches. Tags update, month and year calendar Tags now include an indicator that can be used in the month calendar to visualize the distribution of your tasks throughout the month.
