v7.1.0

External Integrations and Multi-Task Floating Island

What's New

✨ New Features

  • External Task Manager Integrations: Pull tasks from your favorite task managers directly into Focusmo:

    • Things 3 Integration: Sync your Today tasks from Things 3. Completing a task in Focusmo marks it done in Things 3 automatically.
    • Apple Reminders Integration: Connect your Reminders lists to see tasks in Focusmo. Two-way completion sync keeps both apps in sync.
    • Integrations Settings: New Preferences → Integrations tab to manage all your connected task sources
    • Source Badges: External tasks display their source app icon so you always know where they came from
    • Project & Area Badges: Things 3 tasks show their project and area tags in the task list and Command Palette
    • Auto-Refresh: External tasks refresh automatically when you activate Focusmo
    • Filter Toggle: Show or hide external tasks in your task list with a single click
  • Multi-Task Floating Island: Focus on multiple tasks at once with the new Big Tasks Island:

    • Task Chips: See all your active tasks as horizontal chips in the floating timer
    • Task Selection Sheet: Click to open a searchable sheet to add or remove tasks from your current focus session
    • Title Sync: Task titles update in real-time when changed in the source app
    • Appearance Toggle: Enable Big Tasks Island in Preferences → Appearance
  • Periodic Audio Presence Cues: Stay grounded during long focus sessions with subtle audio reminders:

    • Configurable Intervals: Set how often you want to hear a gentle presence cue
    • Sound Selection: Choose from built-in sounds or disable entirely
    • Smooth Playback: Uses AVAudioEngine with silence pre-roll for clean, click-free audio
  • Enhanced Things 3 Integration (Community Request):

    • Time Spent Tags: Focusmo automatically adds time-spent tags to Things 3 tasks (e.g., "30m", "1h 15m")
    • Tag Accumulation: Multiple focus sessions on the same task accumulate time in the tag

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed AppleScript record parsing for Things 3 project/area metadata
  • Fixed permission dialog appearing when Reminders access was already granted
  • Fixed connection status not refreshing after sync errors
