Changelog

New updates and improvements to Nexto, most recent first.

June 2026

v1.25.0

Quick Due Date Presets

Set due dates faster with one-click presets — Today, This week, Next week, and more — or pick a custom date with the calendar fallback.

  • NewDue date field now shows quick-select presets: Today, This week, Next week, This month, Next month, and 3 months ahead — each auto-computes the correct date and populates the field instantly.
  • New"Other date" option reveals the original calendar picker for custom date selection.
  • ImprovedExisting tasks load with their current due date and the calendar visible — no workflows interrupted.

June 2026

v1.24.2

Calendar Polish & Google Calendar Connection Prompt

  • ImprovedLong event titles in the calendar now fit on one line — hover over any event to see the full title in a tooltip.
  • FixedClicking the quick-complete circle on a calendar event no longer accidentally opens the task editor.
  • ImprovedWhen Google Calendar isn't connected, the calendar selector now shows a clear prompt with a direct link to connect it — instead of a silent error.

June 2026

v1.24.1

Finish Early: Custom Start Time for Day Blocks

Block your day from any time instead of always from now — pick the exact start time in 15-minute increments.

  • NewMoon button now opens a "Finish early" dialog where you select the block start time — defaults to current time (rounded to 15 min) for today, or working-hours start for future days.
  • ImprovedAfter confirming the start time, the existing preview → confirm flow runs unchanged with the correct "Block from HH:MM until 11:59 PM" text.
  • ImprovedCalendar preview recalculates and disables actions while refreshing, so you see the impact of your chosen start time before confirming.

June 2026

v1.24.0

Drag Tasks into Projects

Assign unassigned tasks to a project — or remove them — by dragging directly in the task list.

  • NewDrag any task row onto a project section in the list view to assign it instantly. Drop onto "Unassigned" to remove the project link.
  • ImprovedProject assignment updates optimistically — the task moves immediately without waiting for the server.

June 2026

v1.23.0

Mobile Quick Capture, Siri Shortcut & Command Palette

Capture tasks from anywhere — say it to Siri, scan a QR code on mobile, or hit Cmd+K anywhere in the app. Natural-language parsing highlights deadline, duration, and priority as you type.

  • NewCommand palette (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K): Spotlight-style overlay that parses natural-language input in real time — deadline highlighted in sky blue, duration in emerald, priority in amber. Press Enter to create the task instantly.
  • NewSiri Shortcut integration: install a pre-configured shortcut from Profile → Quick Capture, say "Hey Siri, Nexto", speak your task, and it lands in Nexto automatically — no app open required.
  • NewMobile web capture page at /c/[token]: scan the QR code from Profile → Quick Capture on any phone, type a task, and submit — no login required.
  • NewNLP task parser: pure synchronous parser that extracts deadline, duration, and priority tokens from free-form text, masking claimed ranges so date detection never misreads duration strings (e.g. "2h").
  • ImprovedQuick Capture settings page now shows a QR code and "Install Shortcut" button — replacing the old manual curl instructions.

June 2026

v1.22.0

Configurable Task Block Duration

Control how the auto-scheduler chunks your tasks — split long tasks into fixed-size sessions or keep each task as one block.

  • NewNew "Scheduling Preferences" setting: choose a fixed block duration (e.g. 30 or 60 min) so long tasks are split across multiple sessions.
  • ImprovedWhen no block duration is set (default), each task is scheduled as a single block matching its full planned duration — no change to existing behaviour.
  • ImprovedRecurring tasks always schedule as a single block per occurrence, regardless of the block-duration setting.

June 2026

v1.21.0

Visual Refresh, Deadline Indicators & UI Polish

A refreshed look across the app, deadline warnings on calendar blocks, and cleaner task action buttons.

  • ImprovedRefreshed design system across the app — updated color palette, rounder corners, and a more consistent typography scale.
  • NewCalendar task blocks now show a close-to-deadline indicator so you can spot urgent tasks at a glance without opening them.
  • ImprovedTask action buttons reorganized with a clearer visual hierarchy — primary actions are prominent, secondary actions are tucked away to reduce clutter.

June 2026

v1.20.0

Disabled Calendars & Scheduling Fixes

Disabled Google Calendars are now fully respected by the scheduler, and a partial-scheduling collision bug is fixed.

  • ImprovedDisabling a Google Calendar now immediately removes its events from your schedule — no stale blocks left behind.
  • ImprovedAuto-scheduler no longer allocates time inside events from disabled Google Calendars.
  • FixedConcurrent auto-schedule requests from the same user no longer produce duplicate or stale calendar blocks.

May 2026

v1.19.0

Smarter Scheduling Visibility & Completion Blocks

A longer planning window, clearer "out-of-range" labels, and automatic calendar blocks when you complete a task.

  • ImprovedAuto-schedule planning window extended from 14 to 30 days — more of your upcoming work gets a time slot.
  • ImprovedTasks outside the 30-day scheduling window now show "In 30+ days" in the task list instead of a bare date.
  • NewCompleting a task now creates a retroactive calendar block for any unscheduled remaining time, so your calendar always reflects work actually done.

v1.18.0

Project Kanban Board

A new kanban view for your projects — see all projects by status and drag to update them.

  • NewProjects page now has a list/kanban toggle — switch to the kanban view to see projects grouped into Not Started, In Progress, and Completed columns.
  • NewDrag project cards between columns to update their status instantly.
  • FixedMobile calendar agenda now correctly shows task events across all days of the week.

May 2026

v1.17.0

Task Dependencies & Completion Blocking

Create task dependencies to enforce workflow order — mark tasks as "blocked by" to prevent completion until their dependencies are done.

  • NewAdd dependencies to tasks by marking them as "blocked by" other tasks — the scheduler respects the order automatically.
  • NewBlocked tasks display a lock icon across all views (calendar, kanban, task lists, zen mode) so you know at a glance what's waiting.
  • NewCompletion button becomes disabled with a "Blocked" state showing a lock icon and tooltip: "Complete the blocking tasks first".
  • ImprovedCalendar event blocks show an amber tint when blocked so blocking dependencies are visually obvious.
  • ImprovedOnce all blocking tasks are completed, the completion button becomes available automatically.

May 2026

v1.16.0

Multiple Google Calendars & Color-Coded Events

Choose exactly which Google Calendars to import and see at a glance which calendar each event belongs to.

  • NewCalendar selector lets you enable or disable individual Google Calendars — only events from selected calendars appear on your schedule.
  • NewEach Google Calendar event now shows a color dot matching its source calendar, so you can tell them apart at a glance.
  • ImprovedCalendar colors are fetched directly from Google and shown in the selector menu alongside each calendar name.

May 2026

April 2026

v1.13.0

Event Resize & Faster Interactions

Resize calendar events by dragging their bottom edge, plus faster app performance with optimized auth and background scheduling.

  • NewResize calendar events by dragging the bottom edge — duration adjusts in 15-minute increments with a 15-minute minimum.
  • NewGoogle Calendar events can now be dragged and dropped to reschedule them, just like tasks.
  • ImprovedTask completion now updates instantly with optimistic UI — no waiting for the server to respond.
  • ImprovedApp feels snappier — auth tokens are cached in memory so API calls no longer wait for session checks.
  • ImprovedAuto-schedule now runs in the background after task changes, so you can keep working without waiting for rescheduling to finish.

April 2026

v1.12.0

Continue Tomorrow — Day Blocking

Block the rest of your day with one click and let the scheduler push all remaining tasks to tomorrow.

  • NewMoon icon on today's calendar column header — click it to instantly block the remaining working hours and reschedule all pending tasks to the next available day.
  • NewDay-block events appear as a distinct grey hatched overlay on the calendar so it's clear the window is reserved.
  • NewDeleting a day-block automatically re-runs auto-schedule so tasks reclaim the freed slots.

April 2026

v1.10.1

Recurring Task Completion Fix

Completing a session on a recurring task no longer permanently kills the task.

  • FixedThe "Complete entire task" option is no longer shown when completing a recurring task session — only the specific occurrence is completed, leaving future sessions intact.
  • ImprovedCompleting a recurring task session no longer shows the session/task choice dialog — it always completes just the occurrence directly.

April 2026

v1.10.0

Manually Pinned Tasks

Tasks dragged onto the calendar are now pinned in place — auto-schedule will warn you before moving them.

  • NewDragging a task onto the calendar (or moving an existing session) marks it as "manually pinned", anchoring it to that time slot.
  • NewAuto-schedule now warns you when pinned tasks would be rescheduled, letting you choose which ones to keep fixed.
  • NewThe task edit dialog shows a "Manually pinned" toggle so you can pin or unpin any task at any time.

v1.9.0

Status Kanban Board

The Kanban board is now organised by task status with drag-and-drop to move tasks between columns.
