A parked block learns its day
The Backlog began as a tray for blocks with no time yet. Now it knows when things are due before they have one: give a parked block a day, or a window of days, and the tray groups itself around what’s coming. Plus repeating events get a safer hand, the emails learn some manners, and every Pro gate makes the same honest offer.
A tray that reads like a queue (Pro): give a parked block a planned day, or a window of days, right in the tray, and the Backlog sorts itself around it: Overdue pinned first, then Today, Tomorrow and the days beyond, then Someday, then one group per Todoist list. Open a group to search inside it, or send a block back to Someday in one tap. A tray with no dates stays a plain tray. How the Backlog works
Todoist dates come across on their own: a task due on a day (with no time) takes that day as its planned day, and a Todoist deadline sets the far edge of its window, so the tray mirrors the queue you already keep. How Todoist sync works
Claude reads the queue too: get_schedule now carries each parked block’s planned day and an overdue flag, and can filter to a single day; manage_backlog sets or clears planned days. See the tools
Editing one day of a repeat touches only that day: drag or resize an occurrence and just the grabbed day changes, with Undo (or ⌘Z) to put it back. Rewriting a whole series is an explicit choice now: this day, this and following, or all events, asked before anything is written.
The dial’s emails, tuned: the weekly review skips a week with nothing in it, the daily digests stand down on a day a welcome or trial note already goes out, the evening nudge quotes tomorrow’s real open hours (not the week’s), and every email greets you by your actual first name. Also fixed: a bug that had kept the scheduled digests from sending at all.
One honest prompt at every Pro gate: tap a locked feature and you see what it does, signed in or not. Free accounts see the price; guests get the 7-day no-card trial offer up front instead of a bare sign-in wall.
Last night’s sleep checks off on today: tapping the finished tail of a block that crossed midnight opens the check-off for the stretch you just lived, not tonight’s upcoming one.
The setup wizard holds its place: step away mid-setup and it resumes right where you were, with the day you composed intact, and a factory reset no longer replays it.
Sturdier plumbing: a Todoist account with a couple of thousand tasks no longer trips the first import, the rarest calendar-sync races now recover on their own, and the app heals itself when a fresh deploy catches you on flaky wifi.
