It has been a very long time since our latest official release. Here is the new 0.11 desktop app.
We are very sorry it took this long but we have taken the time to rework a lot of the core experience, in particular around event management.
We will continue to polish the experience in the coming months until it is flawless 🥇.
If you prefer, we have made a short 3-minute video quickly demonstrating the new features.
💡 Heads Up
This new version comes with a multi-device mechanism to better handle sending reminders to the right devices.
Even though it does not change anything at the moment, you may be prompted to re-authenticate with your Google account.
🍾 New Features
- Routine is now equipped with a large set of keyboard shortcuts for navigating between days/weeks, changing screens and operating tasks/events/pages, in lists, notes and when opened.
- You can now quickly access any task/event/page/contact by pressing
CMD+Fto open the new search console. - Tasks can now be unscheduled and unpostponed, allowing you to be put back tasks in the inbox
The complete list of supported keyboard shortcuts is available in the knowledge base.
⚠️ Note that CMD+A has become CMD+E or CMD+. while CMD+S has been changed to CMD+L.
Note that the search mechanism does not allow to search text in notes yet.
✂️ Improvements
- The Planner experience has been drastically improved; it is now faster, smoother and more reliable.
- The Today screen has also been reworked to match the design of the planner
- Meeting participants are now displayed with their photo
- The integration engine (Notion, Gmail etc.) has been improved in many ways:
- Clearer error messages
- Support for checkbox statuses (Notion)
- Performance & responsiveness improvements
- Configuration synchronized across devices
- etc.
- Dark mode colors have been improved
- You can now put the Routine app in full screen
- The default calendar resetting bug has been fixed
- Your preferences such as the first day of the week is not synchronized across devices
- and many many bugs and imperfections have been fixed
Further improvements are coming, in particular when it comes to drag & dropping in the agenda.
💡 Tips
Did you know that Routine was also available as a Web app?
The Web app works like the desktop app except for the following:
- The dashboard is not available because it is a desktop-specific functionality
- The Notion integration is not supported
