Introducing Time Lock — a new Premium feature that lets you set a fixed start time for any Task in your Countdown. Perfect for when you need to leave at a specific time, Time Lock ensures that task happens exactly when you need it to. Tasks before the time lock are automatically scheduled backward from your deadline, while tasks after are scheduled forward from the lock time. Now you can plan your day around that important meeting, flight, or appointment with complete confidence.

Fixed suggestions not showing up when editing a Countdown.

Fixed a bug where entering a Countdown title with a space on iOS 17 was causing the app to hang. Thanks to folks for letting us know about it, and sorry if it's slowed you down. Onward!

Fixed a crash that would occur when deleting a Countdown.

Fixed crash that would sometimes happen when archiving or deleting Countdowns.

Fix for a bug that caused Task start times to not be updated when Tasks were moved or updated.

Introducing: Task Suggestions. Now it's even easier to create a list of Tasks. When creating a new Task, select from a list of suggested Tasks, complete with their durations. See previously created and used Tasks to quickly add them to your Countdown, saving you time and effort. Try it out and let us know what you think.

Introducing: Buffers, a new premium feature that lets you add a little extra time between Tasks to account for unforeseen delays and stay on track. We've also made some design updates to the Countdown screen to show more clearly which Task is currently in progress and when the next Task starts.

Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause Countdowns to be out of sync between devices.

We've made some stability improvements. A smooth running app means a smooth running day for you.

We've added search so you can quickly find filter/find a Countdown you'd like to duplicate or reference. We've also made some stability improvements as well. Happy New Year!
