the extension syncs in the background - **One sync for every window** — popup and pop-out spin together; no usable folder shows ⚠️; spinner holds half a second - **Per-folder sync status** — Settings → Sync shows each folder's state and last sync; **Grant access** per folder - **Reminder chip on the task card** — click or Enter edits the time in place; empty removes it; Escape cancels - **Links open with a click** — hover or ⌘K / Ctrl+K edits the URL; ⌘K alone links what you type - **Descriptions keep the last keystrokes** — saved before a tab closes or the desktop app quits - **Dialogs lock the page behind them** — wheel and keys scroll nothing underneath, including the extension popup - **Only moved rows animate** — synced changes slide just the tasks that changed place - **Settings dialog keeps one height** — controls at the top; tall tabs scroll inside - **Readable formatting controls** — `Aa` and formatting toolbars match the description text size and dark tooltip surface --- ## v1.0.0-alpha1 (extension 1.0.0.0) — 2026-09-14 First 1.0 alpha: desktop auto-updates, self-reconnecting folder sync, and clearer descriptions. ### Highlights - **Desktop auto-updates** — Settings → App checks automatically and offers **Install and restart**;

errors say damaged, not a backup, or too large - **Checklist path on the task card** — the preview shows the path to the first unticked item - **Repeating tasks restart unticked** — each new occurrence clears description ticks; one-off tasks keep them - **Description box grows with text** — only the dialog scrolls - **Bold and italic next to emoji** — kept through save and reload --- ## v0.99.0 — 2026-09-04 Sync across devices through a folder you pick, plus v0.12.0's editor and cleanup features. ### Highlights - **Sync through a folder you pick** — no cloud service; put it in iCloud, Dropbox or similar; merges are automatic - **Folder actions** — Disable/Enable, Disconnect, and **Erase all sync data** behind two confirmations - **Live co-editing** — two windows on one task merge character by character - **Sync status in the header** — one icon; click to reconnect and sync now - **Extension and desktop app sync too** — point each at the folder once - **Import asks before deleting** — **Overwrite** removes missing tasks everywhere; **Merge** keeps them - **Delete All Data wipes this device only** — sync folders untouched; asks twice - **Rich text and automatic cleanup** — v0.12.0 features now run on sync - **Card preview shows the first unticked item** — not the first line - **Choose where a backup goes** — the desktop app asks on export - Modern header icons, a clearer sync folder panel and reorganised settings navigation - Fixes: reminder picker closes on blur;
