New features: • New "Send Errors as Notifications" option for the "Sync Tasks" Siri Shortcut: when on, a sync problem that needs your attention (like an expired sign-in, or a sync paused because too many changes are pending) is reported as a notification and the shortcut still finishes successfully; when off, the error is returned to Shortcuts so an automation can react to it. Improvements: • On iPad in full screen, the Changes, Activity, and Settings tabs now appear as a side list instead of a bottom tab bar. • Tapping a notification now opens the relevant screen — sync issues open the Changes screen, and backup notifications open the Backups screen — instead of just opening the app. • Notification wording is clearer and more consistent, and notifications no longer tack on raw technical error text. • "Sync Conflicts" notifications are no longer shown while you have the app open (the conflicts are already listed on the Changes screen). • The "Sync Tasks" shortcut's "Ignore Network Errors" option now skips only temporary problems (being offline, timeouts, an unstable connection, a busy server, or a sync lock that can't be reached) and never hides an expired sign-in. • When a sync is paused because too many changes are pending, the "Sync Tasks" shortcut now reports a failure instead of silently succeeding, so an automation can notice. • A cancelled "Sync Tasks" run is now reported to Shortcuts as cancelled rather than as a failure. • When a daily backup falls back from one cloud to another, it no longer posts a push notification (your data is still safely off-device); a backup that can only be saved locally still notifies you with "Backup Saved Locally". • Updated the Siri Shortcuts setup guide: a single automation can trigger on several apps, the walkthrough is simpler, and it now suggests Reminders, Tasks, Calendar, and Google Calendar as trigger apps. • The Settings screen title is now compact, matching the other tabs.

Improvements: • A trailing ⋯ button on each backup row in Settings → Backups opens the row's Restore / Export / Delete actions on a short tap, so the actions are reachable without long-pressing. • Long-pressing a backup row on iPhone / iPad opens the same Restore / Export / Delete actions, matching how the row already responded to long-press in the context menu. • "Take Over Sync" now turns off Background Sync on this device before claiming the lock, with a rewritten confirmation dialog that names the other device, warns about duplicates from parallel iCloud-synced Apple Reminders, suggests creating a backup and restoring it as a migration path, and explains the Background Sync side effect (omitted when Background Sync is already off). Cancel is the default button. • Backup retention now considers backups across all storages together, so an old local backup is no longer kept indefinitely just because every other backup for the same device happens to live in Google Drive or iCloud. • Brief Google Tasks or Google Drive throttling is absorbed silently rather than surfacing as a sync error, and longer bursts are retried on the next scheduled sync instead of failing terminally. • Sync error messages now include Google's own description of what failed instead of just the HTTP code. • The cross-device sync lock refreshes once per day instead of on every sync, and remembers where the lock lives so most syncs skip an extra Google Drive lookup. Both reduce the load this app puts on Google Drive. • Cross-device lock takeover is now always manual — through the "Take Over Sync" button on the sync dashboard — instead of being taken over silently after one hour. An older device that comes back online overnight no longer claims the lock from the device that's actively syncing. Bug fixes: • The cross-device sync lock no longer skips its daily refresh when it happens to run right at local midnight in your time zone. • Sync recovers automatically when the app's local notes about the cross-device lock have gone stale (e.g. another user manually cleared the app's Google Drive folder). • Tapping Export Backup… on iPad no longer crashes the app; the share sheet now appears as an arrow-less popover anchored to the screen center. • The exported backup file is removed from the temporary directory after the share sheet dismisses, so it no longer accumulates there between exports.

New features: • Pick which Apple Reminders account new lists are created in, both during onboarding and later in Settings. • New Siri Shortcuts setup guide with step-by-step screenshots, reachable from Settings under Background Sync. • Cancel a backup restore while it's still in the safe phase. • New app icon. Improvements: • Sync-lock retry button renamed to "Retry Without Taking Over" when a takeover is possible, making the choice explicit. • Daily backups fall back to alternate destinations when the preferred destination is unavailable, instead of silently failing. • Activity-log retention now defaults to on for new users, so the activity log self-prunes by default. • Backups settings warn clearly when daily backups are off, when storage is set to Local only, and when reminders sync via iCloud (where backups can duplicate items on a fresh device). • The Activity log view loads quickly even with very long histories. • Backup imports accept both compressed and plain JSON files. • The backup-action spinner now appears on the button you actually tapped. • Restore overlay shows the current step (Preparing, Safety backup, Restoring, Finalizing), with the Cancel button emphasized and reliably tappable. • The tab bar is hidden while a backup restore is in progress, so the restore can't be interrupted by switching tabs. • Apple Reminders authorization refreshes when returning to onboarding or Settings from System Settings. • The Apple Reminders source picker is hidden when only one source is available, and the wording around the "Automatic" option is clearer. • Google sign-in stays valid longer near token expiry edges. • Google Tasks list collection caches across launches, so list changes are detected faster on the next sync. • Backup creation cleans up its temporary files even when it fails partway. • Apple Reminders source picker stays visible when the previously selected account is temporarily missing, so it can be reselected. • Google sign-in screen now explains why signing in with Google is necessary. Bug fixes: • Restoring a Google Drive backup during onboarding now creates the pre-restore safety backup it was supposed to create. • Background sync no longer reads from the keychain when background sync is disabled. • The activity log retention cutoff no longer drifts away from the user's chosen retention window. • Backup app-version field shows "unknown" instead of a misleading "1.0" when it can't be read from the backup.
