v3.0.0

iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows

Now free for everyone

Features and enhancements

  • The 3.0 redesign: dock & omnibar

    The whole app got a redesign. The + button is retired: a floating dock and one search-or-create field are how you get around and add things now.

  • Settings, reorganized

    Tasks now groups formats, defaults, storage, quick add and display. App mode and backups moved to the storage screen, the Obsidian prompt to Integrations.

  • A cleaner look for task details

    Task chips are calmer and consistent everywhere: one quiet style, with each property’s color on its icon — red only when a due date is truly overdue

  • View and edit notes in the app Beta

    Browse, view, and edit the notes in your workspace without leaving TaskForge. Built in for everyone — beta while we polish the editing experience.

    How it works: Notes are always on (beta)

  • Lists are now Spaces

    Your lists carried over as spaces automatically. Stack multiple task and event sections in one space, each with its own filters and live preview.

  • AI agents learn your task format

    TaskForge writes docs into your workspace so Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI tools read and write tasks your way. Nothing leaves your device.

    How it works: Your vault ships with its own AI instructions

  • Command line and MCP server for agents

    A new command-line tool and MCP server let terminals and AI agents read and edit your tasks. Set them up in AI & Agents.

  • Home-screen widgets get sections, bigger sizes, and two new tiles

    Space widgets now show every section of a space, not just tasks, with a bigger XL size, a daily-note tile, and Control Center note capture.

  • Daily notes, for every workspace

    Type today in search to jump to today’s note, or create it from a template. Every day in the calendar agenda shows its note too.

    How it works: Daily notes work in every workspace now

  • Redesigned day and week calendar

    Clearer events, side-by-side overlapping meetings, separate all-day tasks, drag to resize, undo, keyboard navigation, and a detail pane on desktop.

  • Edit many tasks at once

    Select several tasks to complete, reschedule, edit fields, or delete them all in one go — on the list, Kanban, and search.

  • Filter your calendar and notes as you type

    The quick filter now narrows the calendar grid, the agenda, and your notes, the same way it narrows a task list.

  • Quick Add understands more dates

    Type ’in two days’ or ’the day after tomorrow’ — spelled-out numbers now work in dates, not just digits.

  • Tap to explore

    Tap a tag, context, or project inside a task or its preview to see all matching tasks. Tap a date to open that day in the calendar.

  • Your calendar, inside Today, Upcoming and Inbox

    Today shows today’s events, Upcoming the next fortnight, and Inbox the invitations you haven’t answered yet.

    How it works: Calendar viewing is free, not Premium

  • Month view shows task previews

    The month view, in the app and in large widgets, can show one-line task and event previews instead of dots. Turn it on in Calendar settings.

    How it works: Month view: dots or names

  • Desktop date and time picker redesigned Mac, Windows, Linux

    The desktop date and time picker is simpler now: type a date or time directly instead of scrolling wheels.

  • Smarter markdown editing

    Lists continue themselves as you type, and a markdown toolbar with undo and redo sits above the keyboard for quick formatting.

  • Restored tasks go back where they were

    Restoring a deleted task now puts it back in its original file and spot, with its reminders and task links intact.

  • A guide to what moved

    Upgrading from 2.7? A one-time guide covers the dock, spaces, and AI agents. Replay it — and every other tip — from the dock’s ⋯ menu under Tips.

  • Backup & Restore, redesigned

    Settings save and sync inside your workspace. Export a portable backup, restore it on a fresh device, or zip your whole workspace in one tap.

    How it works: Backup & Restore, redesigned

  • Switch folders without losing anything

    Point TaskForge at a new folder and it offers to copy your existing files over first, so nothing gets left behind in the old one.

    How it works: Copy your files when you switch vaults

  • Find your files in Documents Android

    New workspaces now live in your Documents folder instead of a hidden app-only one. If yours is in the old spot, Settings offers to move it for you.

    How it works: Copy your files when you switch vaults

  • Default project folder

    Pick the folder where new project notes are created. Blank means the workspace root, and missing folders are created for you.

  • Wider custom field keys

    Custom field keys can now include underscores and numbers, so keys like priority_label save correctly. A few bracketed notes may be re-read.

  • Dedicated parent field for task files

    Subtasks in task files can store their parent in its own property instead of inside projects. Pick the format in Settings, and rewrite the files you already have to match.

  • Links open their apps

    Links with any URL scheme (things://, message://, hook://, and more) in task titles and descriptions now open their app — and a raw app link is tappable without markdown syntax

Platform updates

  • Siri adds tasks for you iPhone

    Say “Add a task using TaskForge” and it saves without opening the app. On iPhone, TaskForge offers to turn Siri on after your first task.

  • Desktop app updates Mac, Windows

    Direct Mac and Windows downloads now update in the app. Invited testers can receive private beta builds.

Fixes and polish (23)

  • Inline tasks are now a per-vault setting

    Turning inline tasks off in one vault used to turn them off everywhere. Each vault now keeps its own setting.

  • Overdue tasks with a time stay on the calendar widget iPhone, Mac

    An overdue task with a time of day either vanished from the agenda or sat under Scheduled. It now stays with your overdue tasks until you complete it.

  • Calendar agenda matches your overdue setting

    A task due today now shows as overdue in the calendar agenda when your overdue setting is on, matching the widget and task list.

  • No more overnight CPU drain Mac

    The Mac app no longer keeps the processor busy while the display is asleep — an idle TaskForge now stays truly idle overnight.

  • Calendar search reaches further

    Searching or filtering calendar events now covers the past three years and the next three, not just recent months.

  • Fixed a rare task-loss bug

    Tasks with tags, contexts, or projects packed together with no spaces (like @home@work) could disappear when saved. They’re now kept correctly.

  • Fixed a reminder-loss bug

    Adding a reminder while the same task was open elsewhere could get silently erased on the next save. Reminders now stick.

  • Task file edits no longer lose data

    Task file edits no longer lose unrecognized values or duplicate fields, and completing one keeps its line endings and property order.

  • Custom statuses complete from widgets too

    Completing a task with a customized status symbol from a widget, the macOS menu bar, or a notification now works instead of silently reverting.

  • Subtasks survive recurring completions

    A repeating task no longer disappears, and completing one never deletes a task that still has open subtasks.

  • Repeating tasks stay checked when completed

    Completing a repeating task no longer un-checks itself or records extra completions if you tap again. It stays checked until the next one is due.

  • Edits keep text the app can’t read

    Editing a task no longer deletes text the app can’t read, like an invalid date. An edit that can’t be made safely is left undone, with a message.

  • Removed reminders stay removed

    When you take the reminders off a repeating task, completing it no longer adds them back to the next occurrence.

  • Reordering big lists now works

    Drag-to-reorder works on manual-sort lists of any size now, and a failed reorder puts things back instead of failing silently.

  • Deleting an already-gone event no longer errors

    Deleting an event already removed elsewhere (like Calendar.app) no longer shows an error or brings the event back.

  • Dragged events keep their time across time changes

    Dragging a timed calendar event across a daylight saving change now keeps its original clock time instead of shifting an hour.

  • Filtering by project now works everywhere

    Tasks whose project is a linked note now show up when you filter or search by that project name.

  • Accurate times on multi-day items

    Calendar items spanning midnight now continue from 12:00 AM on the second day instead of repeating the original start time.

  • ’Previous X days’ filters count correctly

    ’In the previous X days’ now includes today and spans the full X days, matching ’in the next X days’.

  • Filename scheduled dates handle more formats

    Daily note filenames with a time or extra tokens (like 20240115T0930) now correctly set the scheduled date on the tasks inside.

  • Task titles keep their words

    Typing a title with words like ’by’ no longer hands part of it to date parsing, plus other quick-entry parsing fixes.

  • Folder scan errors no longer exclude folders

    A folder TaskForge can’t read while picking your vault no longer gets added to Excluded Folders. The dialog just says which folders it couldn’t read.

  • Filtering list properties now works

    An Additional Property that holds a list, like film: ["Inception"], now matches or excludes based on its items.

Guides

v2.7.6

iPhone, Android, Mac

Fixes and polish (1)

  • Snappier home screen widgets

    Home screen and calendar widgets no longer slow your phone while they refresh.

v2.7.5

Android, iPhone

Fixes and polish (2)

  • Widgets follow your custom status names

    Status-filtered lists could show completed or cancelled tasks in widgets if you use custom status values. Widgets now read them exactly like the app.

  • Widgets understand daily note dates

    Tasks inside a daily note now carry the note’s date in widgets, so date-filtered lists match what you see in the app.

v2.7.4

iPhone

Fixes and polish (5)

  • Widgets unlock after upgrading

    Calendar widgets could keep asking you to upgrade even after you purchased Premium. They now unlock right away.

  • “Next Week” follows your week start

    The Next Week quick option now picks the first day of your next week, following your First Day of Week setting.

  • Widgets show priority-filtered lists

    Home screen widgets could come up empty for a list filtered by a renamed or translated priority or status. They now match what the app shows.

  • New tasks no longer show twice

    Creating a task no longer briefly shows a duplicate in the calendar and grouped lists until your next edit.

  • Created date edits show right away

    Editing a note’s created date now updates in the app immediately, instead of only after you restart.

v2.7.3

iPhone, Android, Mac

Features and enhancements

  • Task peek matches the full task screen

    Status, dates, tags, and more now look the same in the quick peek as they do on the full task screen.

Fixes and polish (14)

  • Reminder buttons work again

    Complete and Snooze on a reminder did nothing at all. Tapping them now completes the task (including repeats) or snoozes it.

  • Premium works without Google Play Android

    On Android phones without Google Play services, the upgrade screen loaded forever. It now opens, and you can subscribe on our website.

  • Reminder buttons are easier to read Android

    The check and snooze icons on a reminder were nearly invisible in light mode. They now follow your theme.

  • Recurring tasks no longer look already done

    Completing a repeating task now marks it done and adds the next one correctly, instead of leaving a copy that looks already checked off.

  • Repeating notes look active again after they roll over

    A repeating note-based task could stay crossed out after you finished it and it rolled over to its next date. It now shows as active again.

  • Notifications stay put when you open the app

    Opening the app no longer clears reminder notifications you had not dismissed yet. They stay in your notification shade until you swipe them away.

  • Widgets show the right tasks

    Home screen widgets could come up blank, or ignore the filters on a list and show everything. They now show the same tasks the list shows in the app.

  • Fixed saving a tag or filter as a list

    Saving a tag, context, or project view as a custom list works again instead of failing with a “not found” error.

  • Task files sort by creation time

    Task files now save the exact time they were created, so files added seconds apart stay in the right order when you sort by creation date.

  • Fixed error when deleting tasks with subtasks

    Deleting a task that has subtasks no longer triggers an error, so the whole group is removed cleanly.

  • Daily summaries always show their name

    When a daily summary has just one task, its notification now leads with the name of the summary, so you can tell which one it came from.

  • Widget task completion saves right away

    Completing a task from the home screen widget now saves to your note right away, so it no longer reappears as unfinished when you open the app.

  • Menu bar count stays accurate Mac

    On Mac, the menu bar icon sometimes counted every task in your vault. It now always shows the count for your chosen list.

  • TaskNotes import covers more settings

    TaskForge now picks up your renamed recurrence properties from TaskNotes, plus its recurring due date offset setting.

v2.7.2

Android, Mac

Fixes and polish (9)

  • Reminders no longer reset on restart

    Daily summary notifications and default task reminders now save for good, instead of clearing when you restart the app and going silent.

  • Nested tasks no longer go missing

    Tasks nested a few bullets deep under a list now show in your custom lists on phones, instead of quietly disappearing. Your data was always safe.

  • Fixed a freeze on heavily quoted notes

    Opening a task whose note had a very deeply nested quote (like a long forwarded email) could freeze the app. Now handled safely.

  • Mac crash fix Mac

    TaskForge could crash on Mac when you switched between tasks or lists with unsaved edits, or changed a setting while leaving a screen. Fixed.

  • Priority sorting fixed

    Tasks with no priority now sort correctly, and the setting to sort None after Medium takes effect right away — in the app and on home-screen widgets.

  • Recurring task edits save cleanly

    Editing a repeating task now saves cleanly — the Save button clears and switching tasks no longer shows a false unsaved-changes prompt.

  • Widget names fixed

    Home screen widgets now show proper, fully translated names and descriptions when you add them, instead of placeholder text.

  • Cleaner widget tags

    Widgets no longer show tags that are required on every task, so the tags on each item stay short and readable.

  • Tap anywhere on a widget Android

    Tapping an empty area of a home screen widget now opens the app instead of doing nothing, including the space around tasks and agenda rows.

v2.7.1

iPhone, Android, Mac

Fixes and polish (10)

  • Fixed disappearing tasks

    A task with an invalid date (like Jan 32) no longer hides every task in that file. Your other tasks stay visible.

  • More reliable syncing

    Changes from other devices appear automatically, your tasks stay put, and new task files show up right after you restart.

  • Settings no longer reset themselves

    Task file identification and other synced settings could be wiped at launch when iCloud was unreachable. They now stay put on every device.

  • Inline tasks in task files show in your lists

    Checkbox tasks written in a task file’s notes appear in your lists when Parse Inline Tasks from Body is on — and update live as you edit.

  • Dataview and Task Genius edits save reliably

    Editing dates, priority, or status on Dataview or Task Genius formatted tasks now saves reliably instead of failing to update the file.

  • Hidden statuses stay hidden

    Tasks with a status you’ve hidden no longer show up anywhere — lists, search, the calendar, notifications, and widgets.

  • Hand-sorted lists keep their order

    Dragging tasks into your own order on a simple (ungrouped) list now sticks — and is remembered after edits, refreshes, and restarts.

  • Calendar add button creates events

    On the calendar, the + button now starts a new event instead of a task when calendar events are turned on — matching what tapping the grid already does. A clearer Task / Event switch lets you flip either way with one tap.

  • Fixed voice task creation for non-Premium users

    Fixed an issue where adding tasks by voice with Siri or Google Assistant did not work for users without Premium.

  • Widgets and shortcuts are more reliable

    Checking off tasks, keeping your selected list, and opening the right list from a widget or shortcut all work dependably now.

Guides

  • One list menu, everywhere

    Long-press any list to edit, duplicate, hide, or delete it. The same menu now appears on the home tab bar and in Organize, and duplicating works in both.

v2.7.0

iPhone, Android, Mac

Features and enhancements

  • Faster across the board

    TaskForge launches quicker and feels snappier everywhere — lists open faster, busy calendar months scroll without pauses, and widgets read your vault directly on each refresh for fresher data and a lighter memory footprint.

  • Browse your tags, contexts & projects

    Tap any #tag, @context, or [[project]] chip on a task to instantly see every task that shares it. The new Organize screen lets you browse all your tags, contexts, and projects in one place.

  • Custom properties on tasks

    Add, edit, and remove your own properties on task files right from the task details screen. Set defaults app-wide and per list — list defaults merge on top of the app-level ones.

  • Redesigned long-press for tasks and events

    Long-press a task or event in the day or week view to bring up a small menu with your top quick actions, plus a chevron to open the full menu. Or hold and drag the item directly to reschedule it to a new time or day — no extra steps. Multi-day events keep their full duration when you drag them, and dragging near the calendar’s left or right edge now turns the page so you can drop further out. And long-press an empty time slot or day cell, then drag, to draw out a new event with the duration or date range you want.

  • Drag & drop in every list

    Reorder tasks, move them between groups to change their priority, status, tags, or more, and rearrange columns by dragging — in both board and grouped list views, with auto-switch to manual order. Drag handles are bigger and easier to grab too.

  • More relationship filters

    Five new relationship filter options: find leaf tasks, parents whose subtasks are all complete, parents waiting on open subtasks, subtasks of completed or open parents, and tasks that are blocking others or have dependents.

  • Modified date for task files

    TaskForge now automatically records the last time you edited each task file. You can sort and filter your task lists by modified date, and see it in the task details view. This only applies to task files (TaskNotes format) — regular inline tasks don’t have a per-task modification time.

  • Kanban view redesign

    Refreshed Kanban with cleaner columns, status and priority colors at a glance, and clearer drag-and-drop indicators.

  • Daily summaries

    Schedule multiple daily briefings, each with its own scope, calendar events window, and style. Your existing times carry over automatically.

  • Better Mac window and menu bar options Mac

    Closing the main window no longer quits the app — it keeps running in the background. Choose to show TaskForge in the Dock, the Menu Bar (with a task list and optional badge count), both, or neither. Controlled from Settings → Appearance → Dock & Menu Bar.

  • Navigate to events and join meetings faster

    Tap Navigate on any event with an address to open it in your favorite maps app. Join video calls straight from events, reminders, and home screen widgets.

  • Moving parent tasks with subtasks

    Dragging a task with subtasks into a new column now asks whether the subtasks should follow the parent or stay where they are.

  • Quick add to grouped lists

    Tap the + on a group header to create a task with that group’s property pre-filled. Already worked in Kanban — now in regular grouped lists too.

  • Collapse or expand all groups

    Long-press any group header in a grouped list to collapse or expand every group at once. Reorder groups by dragging just the handle icon.

  • New “None” option for filter groups

    Filter groups now support a third option — None — for tasks that match none of the conditions, alongside All and Any.

  • Single-day agenda option

    Turn on “Show only the selected day” in the calendar’s view options to limit the agenda to one day at a time. The list loads faster and stays focused on what’s next.

  • Hide all-day events

    Hide all-day events in both the in-app calendar and your home-screen calendar widgets. Toggle “Show all-day events” in view options or per-widget configuration. Defaults to on, so nothing changes until you turn it off.

  • Switch widget lists with a tap Android

    Tap the list name on a task list widget to switch which list it shows — no need to remove and reconfigure the widget.

  • Refresh tasks from your widget

    Set the widget corner button to Refresh tasks. Tapping it pulls the latest tasks from your vault on demand.

  • “Today” and “Tomorrow” everywhere

    Tasks, events, and widgets now show “Today”, “Tomorrow”, and “Yesterday” instead of full dates when they apply.

  • Weekday on date headers

    Date-grouped task headers and Kanban columns now show the weekday (e.g. “Mon, May 6”) so you can scan the week at a glance.

  • Multi-line task descriptions

    Task descriptions can now span multiple lines. Press Enter while editing to add a line break.

  • Copy event details

    Long-press any field in an event you can’t edit — title, location, notes, URL — to copy it to the clipboard.

  • Prefill search via deeplink

    The search deeplink now accepts an optional q parameter — taskforge:///?search=true&q=meeting opens the search overlay with “meeting” prefilled and results already showing.

  • Manage your subscription in-app

    Manage your subscription right inside TaskForge — cancel, change plans, request a refund, or restore purchases without leaving the app.

Fixes and polish (21)

  • Reliable dates in every region

    Fixed a crash that could stop tasks with dates from appearing on devices set to certain regional formats.

  • Duplicate reminders fixed for good Android

    Reminders could fire several times for one task. Reminder identities are now stable across edits and syncs, so each reminder fires exactly once.

  • No more duplicate events

    If the same meeting lives in more than one of your calendars, TaskForge now shows it once — in daily summaries, event reminders, and search — so you stop seeing the same event twice and stop getting two notifications at the same moment.

  • Faster, reliable calendar events

    Creating, editing and deleting calendar events is now instant and reliable — your changes appear immediately and always stick.

  • More reliable customization sync

    Hidden statuses and priorities, custom names, symbols, and colors now stay in sync reliably across your devices.

  • Kanban drag fixes

    Dragging a tagged task between columns no longer causes a crash, and the expand arrow hides when there are no subtasks to reveal in that column.

  • Reminder scheduling engine refresh

    Task reminders moved to a faster scheduling engine. The first launch after the update clears any pending reminders so they re-schedule cleanly under the new engine — no duplicate notifications, no lost reminders.

  • TaskNotes times follow your timezone

    TaskNotes times with a UTC or offset suffix now show in your device’s local time, matching TaskNotes’ calendar. Times you typed yourself stay unchanged.

  • Your language everywhere

    Your app language now applies consistently across TaskForge — widgets, notifications, and system integrations follow the language you pick, not your device’s language.

  • RSVP to event invitations Android

    Tapping Accept, Decline, or Tentative on a calendar event invitation now reliably saves your RSVP. Recurring events also let you respond for just this event or the whole series.

  • Save button while editing description

    Fixed an issue where the save button could disappear while editing the description, until you tapped another field.

  • Save ready when opening Full Editor

    Opening the Full Editor from the quick add dialog no longer requires an extra edit before the Save button becomes clickable.

  • Quick add dialog setting is back

    Restored the setting to choose between the quick add dialog and the full task screen when creating tasks.

  • Friendlier recurrence labels

    Calendar event recurrences now read as plain English (“every month on the second Friday, until Dec 31, 2026”) instead of a raw rule string.

  • Parent files stop polluting projects

    Subtasks no longer show their parent file as a project on chips, the Browse Projects list, or +project pickers. Wikilinks pointing at other task files are kept as real projects.

  • Smarter event location

    When an event only has a URL in its location field, we stop treating it as a map address and surface it as the conference link instead.

  • Smarter titles when sharing links

    When you share a link to TaskForge, we now do a better job of using the real page or post title instead of falling back to a random ID from the URL.

  • Smarter widget property fitting

    On compact task list widgets, your first chosen property (like the due date) is always visible. When everything won’t fit, the last property gracefully drops off — no more chopped-off dates with a tag stuck on the right.

  • Scrollable agenda widgets Android

    Daily-agenda and month-agenda widgets now show every event and task instead of capping the list. Swipe to scroll through the full day, no more ’+N more’ to expand.

  • Widget text matches launcher theme Android

    Widgets now match your launcher’s theme, so text stays readable on Nova and other launchers that have their own light/dark mode.

  • Menu bar Premium fix Mac

    Fixed the macOS menu bar showing Premium spaces after your subscription lapsed.

  • Upcoming grouped by date

    The default Upcoming list now groups tasks by when they happen instead of by file, so you can scan your week at a glance.

  • Cleaner Inbox for undated tasks

    The default Inbox now hides tasks that already have a due, scheduled, or start date, so only truly undated tasks show up.

  • More calendar event actions

    Open an event’s menu to duplicate it, join the meeting, or copy the meeting link without scrolling for the URL.

  • Android widget keeps its list Android

    Fixed an Android case where a background refresh could drop your widget’s configured list, leaving it empty until you reopened the app.

  • Faster widget refresh for task files

    Background refreshes now remember already-parsed task files, so widgets stay populated and finish much faster on large vaults.

  • Cleaner subtask links after renaming a parent

    Renaming a parent task file now preserves each subtask’s link style and no longer duplicates the parent as a project.

  • Recurring task check-off

    Tapping the checkbox on a recurring task now reliably marks the current occurrence complete, even when an older occurrence was missed

  • Reliable recurring task completion

    Completing a recurring task now creates exactly one next occurrence, even when multiple updates to the same task arrive back-to-back.

  • More reliable task reminders

    Task reminders now avoid duplicate notifications for the same task, especially after edits, snoozes, and background refreshes.

  • Task file YAML is preserved

    Editing a task file now keeps existing frontmatter fields in the same order, including custom properties from your TaskNotes template.

  • Inherited frontmatter tags now group correctly

    Tasks that inherit tags from YAML frontmatter now appear in those tag groups instead of No Tags, including grouping, filtering, and widgets.

  • Calendar widget past dates

    Tapping a past date on the month calendar widget now correctly shows that day’s events and tasks instead of snapping back to today

  • On-completion archive and delete for Dataview tasks

    Dataview-formatted tasks with an on-completion action (archive or delete) now run the action when you check them off, matching the Obsidian Tasks format.

  • Keep typing descriptions without interruption

    The description field in the task and event peek no longer loses focus while you keep typing past the first couple of lines.

  • More reliable Premium restore

    Premium access now restores more reliably after reinstalling, with improved detection of your purchase type.

  • Quick task now respects task file list locations

    Creating a task file from quick task now uses the selected list’s task file default folder when that list overrides storage settings.

  • Subtasks stay with their parent in Kanban

    Subtasks now stay directly under their parent in Kanban columns, even after pull-to-refresh or creating a new subtask.

  • Kanban keeps subtask projects

    Subtasks with an assigned project now appear in that project column in Kanban instead of being placed in No Projects.

  • Daily note filter operators

    The “is not today’s daily note” filter now shows only past daily notes, instead of every task in the vault.

  • Bigger tap targets in the task peek

    Buttons and rows in the task peek now have larger tap targets that are easier to hit on mobile.

  • Onboarding scrolls on small screens

    The welcome and language screens now scroll so the Get Started button stays reachable on short or square displays.
