Changelog

Every Simple Daily Planner release, newest first. You're reading notes for version 1.1.1.

  1. Version 1.1.1

    Latest

    Updating from inside the app now works end to end.

    • Fixed the installer wrongly reporting “not enough disk space” and refusing to install.
    • “Check for updates → download and install” now completes on its own instead of asking you to install manually.
    • If a download was interrupted before, the app offers to try again instead of pausing that release forever.
    • Update files are re-checked against their published fingerprint before installing.
  2. Version 1.1.0

    A proper desktop app: tray, focus window, notification actions and window memory.

    • Quick capture is faster and safer: type a line anywhere with Ctrl+Shift+Space, with dates and times understood as you type, and it is saved even if you are offline.
    • New keyboard shortcuts across the app, with an updated cheatsheet showing every global and in-app key.
    • The tray icon (menu bar on macOS) now lists today's next open items and lets you jump straight to a workspace.
    • New compact always-on-top focus window (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+F) for keeping today's list in a corner while you work.
    • Reminders now have Complete and Snooze buttons directly on the notification, respect quiet hours, and can hide task titles on the lock screen with privacy mode.
    • The app reopens exactly where you left it — size, position, maximised or full screen — and pulls itself back on screen if a monitor is unplugged.
    • New “Remember window size & position” option alongside start-with-Windows and start-minimised.
    • Microsoft Store package now supports Windows startup and native reminder notifications.
  3. Version 1.0.9

    Store submission build with MSIX support and clearer install results.

    • New Microsoft Store package path: build an MSIX without a third-party code-signing certificate; the Store re-signs it for you.
    • Every install outcome now reports its own distinct result code, so the Microsoft Store and IT tools can tell exactly what happened.
    • Installing the same version again is detected up front instead of reinstalling over itself.
    • The installer checks for free disk space before it starts copying files.
    • Running two installs at once is blocked cleanly rather than colliding.
  4. Version 1.0.8

    Microsoft Store ready: cleaner, quieter, safer install.

    • Now available through the Microsoft Store, with the Store handling installs and updates for you.
    • The Windows installer can run completely unattended, so IT teams and the Store can deploy it without prompts or restarts.
    • Removed unused graphics components and switched to the standard Windows renderer for a smaller, steadier app.
    • Every file in the download is signed, and the app verifies an update before it installs it.
    • Store copies no longer show the in-app updater, so you will never be asked to update twice.
  5. Version 1.0.7

    “Download and install” now really installs.

    • Fixed the update button doing nothing when the new version had already been fetched quietly in the background — it now installs the copy it already has.
    • If Windows refuses to start the installer, the app says so and offers to open the installer or the download page instead of failing silently.
    • A blocked install no longer counts against the release, so a good update is never pushed into manual-only mode by mistake.
    • Incomplete downloads are discarded and fetched again on the next check.
  6. Version 1.0.6

    One-click updates that actually install.

    • Fixed the update loop: the installer is now launched with the Windows permission prompt it needs, so updates apply on the first try.
    • The installer closes the running app before copying files, so nothing is left on the old version.
    • The planner reopens itself automatically once an update finishes installing.
    • Update notifications explain exactly what happens next, and repeat prompts for an already-installed version are gone.
  7. Version 1.0.5

    Desktop power tools: command palette, multi-day board and weekly review.

    • New command palette — press Ctrl+K to jump to any day, task or tool.
    • Multi-day board (Ctrl+B): see 3 or 7 days side by side and drag tasks between them.
    • Weekly review (Ctrl+R): completion stats and one-click rollover of unfinished tasks.
    • Export & backup centre (Ctrl+E): full JSON backup plus CSV and Markdown exports.
    • Keyboard shortcuts for day navigation, search and quick add, with an in-app cheatsheet.
  8. Version 1.0.4

    Capture a task from anywhere with Ctrl+Shift+Space.

    • New global shortcut: press Ctrl+Shift+Space anywhere in Windows to add a line to today without opening the app.
    • A tray icon now shows how many items are still open today, with quick links to Today, Templates and Account.
    • New launch options: start with Windows and start minimised to the tray.
    • Closing the window keeps the planner running in the tray instead of quitting.
  9. Version 1.0.3

    Upgrades bought in your browser now come straight back to the app.

    • After paying in the browser, the desktop window comes forward and unlocks Pro right away.
    • The account panel now stays docked on the right on wide screens, so sign-in and Upgrade are always one click away.
    • Steadier sign-in handoff and a manual fallback if the browser can't reach the app.
  10. Version 1.0.2

    Signing in with Google now always comes back to the app.

    • Google sign-in returns to the desktop window reliably, even when Windows never registered the app's link handler.
    • If the handoff can't reach the app, the browser page now offers to finish signing in there instead of leaving you stuck.
    • Update popups show the full release notes before anything downloads.
  11. Version 1.0.1

    Google sign-in now completes inside the desktop app.

    • Fixed Google sign-in: after picking your account in the browser, the desktop app signs you in automatically.
    • Added an in-app “Check for updates” button with release notes.
    • Updates now install in place, keeping your shortcuts and session.
  12. Version 1.0.0

    First Windows release.

    • Full planner in a native window, with offline support.
    • Payments and Google sign-in open securely in your browser.
    • One-click installer for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit).
