What's new

Coming soon: Amazon List, Collaboration & delegation, and many more languages

Three big things are on the way to Track&Act:

• Amazon List — a new sixth checklist type: build a shopping list of Amazon products by ASIN, give the list a spend budget and an optional purchase-order number, and track each item's order status (Pending → Ordered → Shipped → Delivered) with a tap. One-tap chips jump straight into Amazon — the product page, your cart, your orders, or a package tracker — so you place the real order on Amazon and record the outcome here. An order-summary panel totals expected vs. actual spend against your budget, a list inside a project rolls its cost up into that project, and every Amazon list shows on the Stats dashboard. It's a paid add-on module — $7.99/month or $59.00/year, separate from every plan and not on the Free tier, and it needs an Amazon Business account. Currently in development — you'll see it greyed-out in the New-checklist picker until it's ready. See the manual.
• Collaboration & delegation — share checklists and hand off tasks to other people.
• Many more languages — Track&Act is expanding well beyond today's seven.

Keep dates — and recurring items — inside their parent's window

Track&Act now makes sure nothing strays outside the plan you set. Every level bounds the one below it — an item's immediate parent is its checklist, a checklist's is its project or phase, a project's is its phase, a phase's is its goal — and a child can only be dated inside that parent's start–end window. Choose how strictly in Settings ▸ Dating outside a parent's range: Block (the default — out-of-range days are greyed and refused), Warn, allow override (pick the date anyway after confirming), or Off. And the headline fix: recurring items no longer spill past their checklist's dates. With Limit recurrence to parent's range on (the default), a repeat that would land beyond the checklist's end is completed as its last occurrence and stops there — with a one-tap warning to open the checklist and extend it, or turn the limit off. And now redating a parent can never orphan its children: shrink a checklist, project, phase or goal so an existing child would fall outside the new window and the save is refused outright with “Items fall outside the new dates” — a hard block on every level, whatever the setting above. See the manual.

Events & meetings — schedule right on the calendar, and notify a contact

Track&Act 4.1 lets you put events and meetings straight into the Calendar. Tap New event and set a start and end (date + time, or all-day), a location, notes, reminders (any mix of lead times before it begins), recurrence (daily, weekdays, chosen weekdays, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly or yearly) and attachments of every kind — photo, file, link, note, voice memo, drawing or contact. The end date defaults to the start date, and the length to your new Default meeting length setting (one hour out of the box, changeable in Settings). Events appear in their own Events band above the day's tasks and as a coloured dot on the grid; tap one to edit it. Best of all, notify a contact in advance: pick a contact and a lead time, and Track&Act alerts them before the event — by email, sent automatically, or by SMS (a reminder pops at the chosen time and one tap opens the message ready to send). Events sync across your devices. See the manual.

Introducing Goals, Phases & Projects — plan the big picture, top-down

Track&Act 4.0 adds a whole planning layer on top of your checklists. Projects group related checklists (link them from a checklist's properties or by dragging onto a project). Goals capture the big picture — a target number/amount with its unit, start & due dates, and up to seven characteristics of the end result (location, size, value, style…); Track&Act labels each Short-, Mid- or Long-Term by its length. Then the AI breaks a goal into dated Phases and auto-assigns your projects, checklists and even individual tasks to the phase each belongs to — and it learns from every override you make. See it all in one top-down view: Goal → Phases → Projects → tasks. Goals can recur (lose 6 lb every month, and it rebuilds the whole plan for the next round), send periodic reminders, and roll up an importance-weighted progress % in Stats. Every layer scopes the dates beneath it, and it's all optional — switch Goals & Phases or Projects off any time. See the manual.

The goal tree, Output points that roll up, and everything syncs

The rest of 4.0 makes the planner fast to live in. Tap the flow-chart button (next to the AI button) to open My Goals as a goal tree — your whole plan as a connected chart, Goal → Phases → Projects → Checklists → items. Expand any branch on demand, and drag anything from the Unassigned tray straight onto a phase or project to file it. Output points now roll up: every project, phase and goal shows its earned/max, summed live from everything inside it. The My Goals and Projects lists gained the full checklist toolkit — search, sort (name, points, dates…), swipe right to delete / left to hide, a two-finger tap to duplicate, and drag-to-reorder. Share any goal or project as a document — Detailed or Summary — and Export as PDF, Email, Message or Print it. And your entire goal tree now syncs across devices along with your checklists. See the manual.

Sort by… now always sorts — and re-sorts every time you close it

Two fixes to Sort by… inside a checklist. First, choosing any preset — due date, importance, progress, complexity, alphabetical or Output points — now always reorders the list. Before, if you had a Structure option (sections or sub-items) switched on, the grouping quietly overrode your sort and nothing moved, even on a plain flat list; now any preset takes over, and on dated Tasks each date band (Overdue / Today / Future) is sorted inside itself. Second, leaving the Sort window re-applies your current choice every time — even if you didn't change anything — so a list is always freshly sorted the moment you close it. See the manual.

The AI generator learned to schedule — and to hand off without adding

The AI checklist generator got a panel of optional parameters below the type chips (all typeable in words too). Timed checklist turns any request into a scheduled plan across a window you set with First day / Length / Last day, and the app then spreads the items on-device — skipping weekends (Avoid Sat–Sun), any Blocked times, and any weekdays you didn't Pick. A Mark row chooses whether the AI rates Importance and Complexity, and a Recurring checkbox makes it a repeating routine. After generating, you can now Email, SMS, Print or Open the checklist to someone without adding it, and there's a new “List of all unrated items” report to tidy up any missing ratings. Fair-use limit: 10 generations per 24 hours. See the manual.

Printable calendars now list every task — in full

The Print calendar tool got a rebuild. It now combines every Tasks-type checklist and prints every task in full: names are word-wrapped instead of truncated, and nothing is ever hidden behind a “+3” label any more. Busy days and weeks simply grow taller and spill onto extra pages so the whole month fits. You can now choose exactly which day, week or month to print — a “Choose a date” button opens the app calendar. And a month can print in the layout you prefer: the classic grid, a clean day-by-day list (the readable style of the weekly), or both. See the manual.

Start & due dates everywhere — and a checklist that keeps its items in bounds

Dates grew up. Every item type now has both a start date and a due date, each optional — Simple check-off lists included, not just Tasks. A whole checklist can carry its own start and due dates too, and when it does they scope every item: nothing may be dated before the start or after the due, and the in-app calendars grey out and refuse the days outside that window. Quick-adding an item now defaults its dates to today when the list is already dated (and leaves an undated list undated), clamped into that window. The date shown on a checklist card is the deciding date — your start date or due date depending on Schedule by start date — and the info line reads “N items · Type · Date”. New in Settings: Set checklist dates from items, a one-tap way to give every existing list a start (its earliest item) and a due (its latest). See the manual.

Repeats, on the days you choose — for any checklist

A whole checklist's Repeats (its auto-reset routine, on every checklist type now) gained the same flexibility as recurring tasks: reset daily, on chosen days of the week (tick any of Mon–Sun), weekly, monthly, every 3 months or yearly. For monthly, quarterly and yearly you pick the day of the month it resets on straight from the app's month calendar (“Resets on day 15”). Double-tapping any item now always opens its full properties, with an inline rename moved to a long-press — so a double-tap near a name never edits it by accident. There's a new shortcut too: tapping a rated item's coloured complexity bar in its middle or lower part instantly zeroes that item's progress. And every calendar in the app is now noticeably more compact. See the manual.

Tap a date to redate — and every calendar now wears your Style

Fallen behind on a task? Tap the date under its name and a compact month calendar opens, titled “Redate to”, with today already selected — so moving it to today is just a tap on the date and OK (there's a Today button too). Want another day? Tap it, or use the ‹ › arrows to change month. The task hops to the right group — Overdue, Today or Future — the moment you confirm. This replaces the old triple-tap-the-completion-box gesture, which clashed with editing. And every calendar in the app — this one and every date picker — now follows your chosen app Style, drawing its colours and font from the same palette as the rest of Track&Act instead of the plain system look. See the manual.

Completion that tracks with your plan — up to today

Two changes make “how am I doing?” honest. First, any checklist with at least one dated item — a nested sub-item counts too, and this now includes Simple lists — automatically groups its rows under Overdue, Today, Future, Undated and a new Completed heading. A finished item never sits in Overdue any more; it drops straight into the Completed group at the bottom. Second, a new default setting — Overall completion - up to Today — makes a dated checklist's overall % count only what's due by today (completed, overdue, and dated today), ignoring future and undated items, so you measure yourself against what should be done so far, not the whole plan. The card is labelled “Overall completion (to Today)” and the home card shows the same number. Prefer the old behaviour? One switch counts everything again. Undated checklists are untouched. See the manual.

Cross-device sync, made rock-solid

If you use Track&Act on more than one device, your settings now stick. Pick a Style, accent colour or font on one device and it syncs across the others straight away — it can no longer be quietly pulled back to an old value. Under the hood, a change to any setting now uploads the moment you make it (not just when you edit a checklist), and every device orders its snapshots by a single server clock, so a device whose clock runs a little fast can’t overwrite a newer change from another. The result: the device you’re working on always wins, and the rest catch up to it — for data and settings alike. See the manual.

New on Stats: output analytics & a completion pie

The Stats screen gained real analytics. A new Output points panel lets you pick Week, Month, Year, or a custom date range and shows your Work factor % — the average complexity × importance of everything you worked on — next to the points earned in that span, over a points-earned-over-time bar chart so you can watch accomplishment build up. Below it, a Checklist completion donut shows every checklist at once — each a slice sized by its items and coloured red→green by completion, with the overall figure in the middle and a full legend. See the manual.

Energy/Focus filtering is now instant — and honest

Slide the Energy/Focus bar and every list filters to that tier immediately — no setting to flip. Home cards show “shown / total” and dim when nothing fits the tier, and a Show all pill sits right of the tier name (and of the date inside a checklist): tap it to reveal everything, and it turns solid with a check so it's obvious the filter is off. Open a checklist whose items are all outside the tier and it now says so plainly instead of looking empty. And every AI-generated checklist now comes fully rated on importance and complexity, so points and tiers work on it from the first second. See the manual.

Output points, part two: reports, goals, sorting & Show all

Output Points now run all the way through the app. Set a daily and weekly OP goal in Settings › Output points and watch your progress toward it on the Today screen. Generate a new Output report (home ⋮ → Generate report) to see the points you earned in any time frame, grouped by checklist with a running total — printable, emailable, textable like the others. Sort checklists and items by points (low→high or high→low), see per-checklist and overall points on the Insights dashboard, and use the new Show all toggle on the home and checklist screens to instantly bypass the Energy/Focus filter and reveal every item. See the manual.

Energy/Focus is now a 10-tier system tied to your points

The Energy/Focus bar now shows the tier name for the level you pick — from Dormant up to Flow State — and its filter is driven by Output Points: each level shows every item whose OP fall in that tier's range (Level 1 ≤19, Level 5 ≤215, Level 10 ≤417). Slide low for quick low-score items, high for the whole span up to your hardest work. Un-rated items appear only while the filter is off. Points on running timers also climb live everywhere now, including the home cards. See the manual.

Timers: open with a double-tap, edit the clock, reset cleanly

A few timer improvements: double-tap the stopwatch to open the timer dialog, which now shows the item's total clocked time and keeps counting from there (never restarting at 0:00). You can set the clock directly by typing hours/minutes/seconds, and Reset now zeros the clock and unchecks the item. Output points on a running timer also climb live with the clock.

Output points — see what each item is worth

New: Output Points (OP), a read-only score that blends how hard an item is with how much it matters — complexity^0.7 × importance^1.3 (max 417). Each item shows earned / max in small grey type under its share icon (earned grows with your progress), and every checklist card shows the sum of its items' points. A nested (parent) item derives its complexity and importance from the average of its sub-items. Rate an item's complexity and importance to make its points count; leave them out and you'll see a grey "—". Turn it off any time in Settings › Output points. See the manual.

Double-tap an item to open its properties

Opening an item's full properties is now easy: double-tap anywhere on the item's body and its editor opens (a single tap still edits the name inline). No more hunting for the exact spot.

Your date up top, holidays on the calendar

The home screen now greets you with today's date where it used to say "Choose a checklist" — and a new Date format setting lets you pick how every date reads app-wide: Monday, January 26, 2026 (default), the European order Monday, 26 January 2026, numeric 01/26/2026 or 26/01/2026, or ISO. There's also Holidays / days off: choose a country (it defaults to your language's) and its national holidays light up as red days on the Calendar — with the holiday's name shown when you open the day — while today's holiday appears right under the date on the home screen. And every date picker gained a one-tap Today button. See the manual.

Clear or redate dates across the checklists you choose

A new Clear / redate dates tool lives in the home ⋮ menu — separate from a checklist's own item bulk-edit. Tick the checklists you want to change (one, several, or all with Select all), then Clear dates to strip their start & due dates, or Redate dates… to move every dated item in them to a date you pick. Both ask for a red confirmation first — and the message names exactly what you're about to change. See the manual.

Reports — production, revenue and time, on demand

New in the home ⋮ menu: Generate report, with three reports that read straight from your work. A Production report lists every bit of progress made — each item that moved and by how much (20% → 50%), with each checklist's overall completion change called out in green. A Revenue report totals the money earned per item, with a subtotal per checklist and a grand total. A Timer report adds up the time actually logged, item by item. Every report is grouped by checklist with its items underneath, and you filter it on the fly — pick a time frame (today, this week, this month, this year, or a custom date range) and narrow to one checklist or all, and the numbers recompute instantly. When it's ready, print it, save it as a PDF, email it (to yourself, a typed address, or a contact), or text it to a contact. See the manual.

Choose the day your week ends

New in Settings: Week ends on. Weeks default to ending on Sunday, but pick any day and the Calendar's week, month and 4-month views — and the This week report range — all line up to your week. See the manual.

Bulk date actions — clear or redate in one sweep

Bulk edit (in a checklist's Advanced functions) grew four app-wide date tools: clear all dates from scheduled tasks, clear all dates from scheduled items (excluding tasks), and redate either group to a date you pick (a time is optional). They sweep across every checklist at once. And because bulk changes are hard to take back, every bulk action now asks for a red confirmation first. See the manual.

Energy / Focus — match your list to how you feel

Track&Act 3.0 adds an Energy/Focus bar to the home screen: a quick 1–10 slider for how much you can take on right now. It quietly reads each item's complexity and importance and surfaces the right work — dial it high and you're pointed at the hardest, weightiest tasks; dial it low and you get the quick, easy wins. Search by any level, or flip on Settings › Apply energy filter to items shown and every screen — a checklist, Today, the Calendar, the board — is filtered to your current level before it's drawn, with each home card's count updated to match. (It builds on complexity ratings, so it rides along with that feature.) See the manual.

Block times you don't want tasks scheduled into

New in the home ⋮ menu: Blocked times. Mark dates, days or time ranges as off-limits and Track&Act won't let a task be dated into them. Pick specific days from a month calendar (tap one or many), or set a recurring block — every Saturday, say, or the 1st of every month — all-day or a specific time range. After that, giving a task a start or due date in a blocked window is politely refused (in the editor, quick-add, and when you drag it on Today or Calendar), with a reminder to release the block first. It's on by default and applies to Tasks; switch it off any time in Settings › Block scheduling in blocked times. See the manual.

Rate items by complexity

Every item now has a second slider, right below its weight: Not Rated → Quick → Simple → Involved → Complex. Items start Not Rated; rate one and a slim coloured bar appears down its left edge — light green, yellow, orange or red — so you can see at a glance how heavy each item is. You can then sort a list by complexity (un-rated items lead or trail the order) and add a complexity filter when you search. The AI also rates the items it generates. It's a pure label — your weighted percentage is untouched — and if you'd rather not see it, switch it off in Settings › Rate items by complexity (on by default). See the manual.

Search that finds everything — and now on Today and Calendar too

Search got a lot smarter. Tap the magnifying glass and you can now find checklists and items by their notes, links, labels/tags, context and even an attached contact's name, number or email — not just the title. And the magnifying glass now lives on the top-right of the Today and Calendar screens as well as Home, so you can search from wherever you are without going back. Quick filters (All / Overdue / Incomplete / Done) still narrow the results. See the manual.

Attach a contact — then call, text or email from your list

The attachment picker has a new Contact option: pick someone from your phone or tablet's address book and pin them to any item or checklist. The attachment shows their photo (or a tidy coloured monogram of their initial), and tapping it opens Call, Text and Email actions — so a task like "Call the plumber" carries the plumber right on it. Their name, number and email are saved with the item, so it syncs across your devices and keeps working without re-opening your contacts. See the manual.

Focus mode, supercharged — and delete any attachment from its viewer

Focus mode now flows both ways with each item's stopwatch. The clock starts from the item's remaining budget (it already counts the time you logged outside Focus); an un-budgeted item runs as an open stopwatch that counts up from zero. If a stopwatch is already running on the checklist when you pick that item, Focus takes it over and keeps it running from the current time, handing it back when you leave. One session can cover several items — switch between them and each item's time is posted when you exit, with the still-running one continuing live on your list. Timer items now always show their logged time on the checklist, even when idle.

New in the Focus screen: a Notes field to jot a note on the item you're clocking, a paperclip button (lower-left) to add any attachment to it, and a + button (lower-right) to add a sub-item. And everywhere: every open attachment — item or checklist, of any kind — now has a Delete button in its viewer, with a confirmation before it's removed. Item names also get more room before wrapping to a second line. And the CSV tools grew up: Export items now writes every item (not just dated ones), Import items reads a CSV back cleanly, and both are available per-checklist from a list's own menu as well as across everything from Home. You can now also send a checklist's items straight to Google Keep, Microsoft OneNote, Google Tasks or Outlook — and a new share icon on every home-screen card puts all of those export/share options one tap away. See the manual.

Now in seven languages — including Hebrew (right-to-left)

Track&Act now speaks English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Português, Русский and עברית. Every screen and feature is fully translated — the Spanish, French and German were brought up to date, and Portuguese, Russian and Hebrew are brand new. Choosing Hebrew flips the whole app to a polished right-to-left layout. Pick your language in Settings, or leave it on System to follow your phone. See the manual.

Pick a Style in one tap

New in Settings: Style — ten curated looks that each bundle an accent colour, a font and a progress-bar format. Tap Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Royal, Blossom, Midnight, Mono, Bold, Elegant — or Classic, the original — and the whole app changes at once. Prefer to mix your own? Adjust colour or font individually and the style just reads "Custom." Your light/dark setting is left untouched. See the manual.

Your calendar, in and out — and on paper

Everything with a date can now flow to and from your calendar. Add to calendar writes every dated item straight into a device calendar you pick; Share .ics hands the same events to another phone or service; and if you open a .ics file, Track&Act imports it for you. There's an Export dated items (CSV) too, plus a per-checklist version in each list's menu. Best of all, Print calendar lays out a beautifully formatted day, week or month PDF — your dated items in place, roomy squares, and ruled space to jot notes by hand. Hit Print to send it straight to a printer (the month goes landscape), or Open/Save it.

Nested items add up correctly

A parent item's percentage is always the weighted roll-up of its children — complete the subtasks and the parent fills on its own. Its bar and checkbox are read-only (tap them and Track&Act just reminds you they follow the children), and the overall completion counts each top-level item once, so nothing is ever double-counted. See the manual.

Progress bars you can nudge, jump, or type

Set an item's progress three ways: drag the bar to any value, tap a section marker to jump straight to it (choose halves, thirds, quarters, fifths or tenths — every 10% — in Settings; quarters by default), or long-press the % and type an exact number. The percentage now sits neatly above the bar. Plus: drag-to-reorder handles now work on nested items too. See the manual.

Track&Act 1.0 is on the way

The first public release is almost here — five checklist types, weighted progress, timers with billing, smart reminders, insights, and cross-device sync, all in one app. Want a heads-up the day it lands? Leave your email.

What we're building next

Here's a look at what's coming to Track&Act after 1.0:

• More languages — Hebrew/RTL, Chinese, Portuguese and more, alongside today's English, Español, Français and Deutsch.
• Collaboration & sharing — share checklists with other people and work on them together.
• Delegation — assign individual tasks to the people you share with.
• More exciting themes — fresh looks and colour palettes to make the app yours.

Attachments open right inside the app

Photos, drawings, notes, voice memos and PDFs now open inside Track&Act — a picture or PDF fills the screen, a recording gets a play button — and a tap outside (or Back) closes it and drops you straight back on your list. No more bouncing out to another app and losing your place. More on attachments.

Quick-add on every list, tidier hiding

The quick-add line — type a name, hit add — is now on every checklist type, not just Tasks and Simple. And hiding got simpler: swipe a checklist or item left to hide it (it just hides, never toggles), and one “Show hidden” tap brings them all back. See the manual.

Home-screen widgets, rebuilt

Three widgets — Today's tasks, Overall progress, and a Single checklist that now lists its items in detail. Each has its own theme, background-opacity slider and a settings gear, and each opens the right screen when tapped. Read more in the manual.

Meet the Boost button

A lightbulb button in the corner of the home screen serves up a motivational quote whenever you need a lift — fetched fresh, cached for instant loading, with an offline set for good measure. How it works.
