Detailed information about Focusmo releases and updates

v7.13.0

Calendar Planning, Activity Sidebar, and Godspeed Integration

What's New

✨ New Features

  • Calendar: A brand-new Calendar section in the main window (Cmd+3) for planning your day and week on a full timeline:

    • Day & Week Views: Apple Calendar-style timeline with a full 24-hour grid, current-time indicator, and instant switching between day and week
    • Drag to Plan: Drag tasks onto the timeline, drag-to-create blocks with a task-assignment popover, move and resize blocks with grid snapping
    • Undo & Safety: Deleted a block by accident? A 5-second Undo toast brings it back; conflicts and failures surface as dismissible error toasts
    • Zoom: Cmd+scroll, pinch, or header buttons to zoom the timeline in both day and week views
    • Keyboard Navigation: Arrow keys move between blocks, Delete removes, Escape deselects
    • Fast & Static: Deliberately animation-free design — the calendar renders instantly and stays calm
  • Activity Sidebar in Calendar: See where your time actually went, right next to your plan:

    • Color-coded app usage blocks in a slim column beside the day timeline, with app icons
    • Hover any block for details — app name, window title, website URL, time range, and duration
    • Muted, distraction-free colors that stay visually secondary to your scheduled blocks
    • Toggle the layer from the toolbar; your preference is remembered
  • Godspeed Integration: Sync tasks from the Godspeed task manager:

    • Connect with an API token (copied from Godspeed's command palette); stored securely in the Keychain
    • Choose which list to sync and filter by labels
    • Task durations from Godspeed pre-fill the session timer
    • Completing a task in Focusmo syncs back to Godspeed, with offline-resilient retry
  • Native Toolbar Navigation: The icon-strip sidebar is gone — sections (Tasks, Calendar, Activity, Daily Goal) now switch via a native centered segmented control in the window toolbar. Cmd+1–4 shortcuts still work

    • Context-Aware Controls: The toolbar adapts to the active section — calendar date navigation and Day/Week picker, Activity date/time-range/idle controls, Tasks backlog toggle and workspace filter, Daily Goal tabs
    • Settings is one click away via the gear button in the toolbar
  • Dock App + "Show in Dock" Preference: Focusmo is now a regular macOS app with a Dock icon, Cmd+Tab presence, and standard menus (Edit, Window, Help; Cmd+Comma opens Settings). Prefer the old menu-bar-only mode? Toggle "Show in Dock" off in Settings — switching is instant, no restart needed

  • Safari Web Apps in App Lists: Safari "Add to Dock" web apps are now discoverable and can be added to allow/block lists like any other app

⚡️ Performance

  • Reduced CPU usage during an active timer from ~52% to 5–7% — fixed a polling loop, stopped task rows from re-rendering every second, and converted app monitoring from polling to system notifications

♿️ Accessibility

  • Toolbar buttons, calendar controls, task action buttons, and Pro-gated toggles now have proper VoiceOver labels
  • Task checkboxes get a VoiceOver label, value, and toggle action, plus better light-mode checkmark contrast
  • Keyboard focus lands on the timeline when a block is selected, so Delete/arrows/Escape work as expected
  • Focus overlay: tooltips on all controls and ⌘↩ to complete the current task
  • Chart and section animations respect the system Reduce Motion setting

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed main window crash on reopen after launching in the background
  • Fixed free tier not activating when skipping the trial
  • Fixed bar charts rendering axes but no bars on macOS 26
  • Fixed calendar events drawing their titles twice when a completed session matched the event
  • Fixed task rows showing a confusing "0s left" when the countdown hit zero — now shows "Time's up" with Reset and +5 min on hover
  • Fixed imported tasks (e.g. from Todoist) showing raw markdown links in titles
  • Fixed Godspeed connection errors showing raw technical messages
  • Fixed settings sidebar labels truncating, Settings search not finding "Show in Dock", and the main window occasionally hiding itself when dismissing the command palette
