External Integrations and Multi-Task Floating Island
What's New
✨ New Features

- 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
