2.1.14 - Things 3 Support, Weekly Rewind & Task Aging Toggle
2026-03-02
Introduces Things 3 as a new task source alongside OmniFocus and TaskPaper, adds raw data tables to Weekly Rewind reviews with persistent SQLite storage, introduces a toggle to disable task aging entirely, and improves lead time display for quick tasks.
New

New
Weekly Rewind now shows raw data tables alongside the narrative (expandable accordions, collapsed by default, included in copy-to-clipboard)
New
New "Task aging" toggle in Settings → General to completely disable aging — hides age badges on cards, zeros Radar aging bonus, hides aging charts in Analyse, and shows disabled message in Aging View
Improved
Tasks completed in under 24 hours now show hours (e.g. "19h") instead of "0d"
2.1.11 - Full-Text Search
2026-02-27
Upgrades search to full-text with prefix matching, fuzzy search, field boosting, and stemming so natural word variations find the right tasks.
New
Upgraded search to full-text searching with prefix matching, fuzzy search, field boosting, and tokenized multi-word queries
New
Added Porter 2 stemming to search — "reading" finds "read", "walking" finds "walk", and other natural word variations
2.1.7 - Multi-Select Drag & Chart Fixes
2026-02-24
Fixes multi-card drag behaviour, the defer date picker, and corrects how dropped tasks are counted in analytics charts.
Fixed
Fixed problem preventing the date picker in the "Defer until..." context menu from appearing
Fixed
Dragging a card that's part of a multi-selection now moves all selected cards, not just the one under the cursor
Fixed
Dropped tasks are no longer counted as open work in WIP/CFD charts, the aging table, or the aging chart
2.1.6 - Weekly Report & Stability Fixes
2026-02-22
Adds a new Weekly Report feature for generating LLM-powered summaries of your week, plus several bug fixes for card management and column behaviour.
New
Weekly Report ("Rewind") — generate an LLM-powered summary of your week from the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P → "Generate weekly report"). Shows completed tasks, dropped tasks, deferrals, and patterns across projects. Copy as Markdown for journalling etc.
Fixed
Dropping a completed task no longer leaves it stuck in the Completed column
Fixed
Recurring tasks that become active again are now moved out of the Completed column automatically
Fixed
Card reordering within columns now works reliably — positions no longer collapse after repeated moves (added automatic rebalancing)
Fixed
Keyboard shortcuts for moving cards up/down in a column (Cmd+Ctrl+Up/Down) and between swimlanes (Cmd+Shift+Up/Down) now work correctly
Improved
Database indices added to high-growth tables for better query performance
2.1.2 - Deferred Tasks Panel
2026-02-19
Adds a new sidebar panel showing upcoming deferred OmniFocus tasks within a configurable window, so you can prepare for what's coming without leaving your board.
New
Deferred Tasks Panel — see upcoming deferred tasks at a glance. A new sidebar shows OmniFocus tasks whose defer dates fall within a configurable window (1–7 days), so you can prepare for what's coming without leaving your board. Flag tasks, adjust defer dates, drag them onto your board, or clear the defer date entirely.
Fixed
Fixed a bug that prevented moving tasks from Completed to Dropped
Fixed
Fixed a bug that meant dropped cards did not use strikethrough text
2.1.0 - Analyse Dashboard
2026-02-18

Throughput and Cycle Time charts (scatterplot with task names in tooltips)

Introduces batch mode — a fullscreen triage overlay for processing tasks. Also adds task deferral with preset date options and several bug fixes.
New
Batch mode: fullscreen triage overlay for rapidly processing tasks one-by-one with keyboard-driven skip/done/flag actions
New
Defer tasks from the context menu with preset date options (tomorrow, next week, next month, etc.); deferred tasks are hidden from the board until their defer date
Improved
Task inspector now shows task ID. More prominent WIP limit breaches on column headers
Fixed
Fixed an issue that meant dragging task from Done back to an active column didn't mark the task as active
2.0.85 - Radar & Ghost Task Completion Animations
2026-02-16
Adds ghost-slay and radar-blip completion animations. Ghost tasks now trigger a slay animation when completed, and radar/focus tasks trigger a radar blip animation with expanding pulse rings.
Improved
Ghost tasks now trigger a "slay the ghost" animation (ghost appears, slash cuts through, ghost shatters into dissolving fragments) when completed
Improved
Radar/focus tasks now trigger a radar blip animation (sweep arm rotates, blip detected, pulse rings expand) when completed

2.0.79 - Critical Fix: OmniFocus Data Sync
2026-02-14
Fixes a production build issue that prevented Flowcus from fetching data from OmniFocus due to an incorrect script path resolution.
Fixed
OmniFocus script path resolution now correctly resolves for production macOS builds (removed compile-time dependency which masked the broken production fallback during development)
2.0.77 - Major 2.0 Release - From Visualisation Layer to Intelligent Task Engine
2026-02-14
Flowcus 2.0 is a complete ground-up rewrite using the Tauri framework. Version 1 gave you a Kanban board on top of your task manager — a lens over OmniFocus. Version 2 is a different proposition entirely: your board now works harder for you, surfacing what matters, identifying what's rotting, and automating the organisational work that slows you down.
New
Complete ground-up rewrite using the Tauri framework for significantly improved performance and a modern architecture
New
Radar — analyses your open tasks each day and presents the 3–5 you should focus on, scored by urgency, momentum, and neglect, with clear reasons why each one ranked
New
Ghost Detection — finds tasks you've been avoiding, vaguely defined items, stale work, and tasks that slipped backward, prompting you to deal with them before they become dead weight
New
Task History — a full audit trail of every state change for every task, powering both Radar and Ghost Detection so nothing hides in plain sight
New
Sidekick — an AI assistant built directly into your workflow, integrating with your local or remote LLM for task refinement, breakdown, and planning without leaving the board
New
Command Palette (⌘⇧P) — keyboard-driven access to everything in Flowcus with natural language commands for navigating, creating, moving, completing, and blocking tasks
New
Task Inspector — view and edit full task context in a side panel including notes, tags, history, blocked status, and flags without leaving the board
New
Rule-based column and swimlane assignments — automatically place tasks where they belong based on tags, source, project, flags, and other properties
New
Multi-tag support — assign multiple tags to tasks and slice your work across dimensions that a single category never could
New
TaskPaper integration — visualise TaskPaper tasks alongside OmniFocus on a single board
New
WIP Gauge — a toolbar indicator with configurable warning and maximum thresholds to help you maintain a sustainable workload
New
Enhanced Kanban board with improved drag-and-drop, customisable columns and swimlanes, and visual indicators for overdue tasks, approaching deadlines, flagged items, and task age
Improved
Streamlined focus on core Kanban workflow management with intelligent automation
Improved
