Changelog
Every todoglow release, newest first. Currently on v1.10.17, shipped Oct 8, 2026.
Shortcuts below are written in mac notation. On Windows, read ⌘ as Ctrl.
v1.10.17
- newa todo font setting with two choices: mono, as before, or system, the regular font your computer uses. it applies to todo text and agent thread names in the list, the input, the archive and the focus bar. timers, numbers and labels stay mono
- improvedthe focus bar is now only as wide as its todo title needs, so the wide empty stretch between the title and the time is gone and short titles make a narrower bar. the time keeps room for hours, so the bar holds still when a session runs past an hour
v1.10.16
- improvedlegal pad and engineering pad now carry their paper into the stats and archive screens: ruled lines across the page and a margin line down the left, red on legal pad and green on engineering pad
- improvedin stats, the "now" marker on the day graph and today's letter in the week view use the same color as the selected-todo marker in themes that have one, so on legal pad they are red
v1.10.15
- fixedin graphite, on/off switches in settings were hard to read when on, with a white knob on a near-white track. the knob now takes the theme's background color when a switch is on, so it stands out in every theme
v1.10.14
- newengineering pad, a light theme on pale green paper with green ruled lines
- newgraphite, a dark theme with off-white text on near-black, for when you want no color at all
- improvedlegal pad looks more like the real pad: black ink instead of brown, blue ruled lines, a red marker on the selected todo, and completed todos checked off in blue
- improvedpaper, sunset orange, rose gold, haze, and nord now use a second color for the selected todo, for completed todos, or both
- improvedthe theme picker has bigger swatches that show each theme's extra colors, not just the main one, plus a small preview of how todos look in each theme
v1.10.12
- newsettings has a new "send diagnostics" control with three settings: off, errors, and all. it ships on off, so nothing about how you use todoglow leaves your device unless you choose it. errors covers crashes and failures; all adds which features get used. your todos and their contents are never included
- newsettings shows your device id with a copy button, for when you need to send it along with a support email
- improvedthe release notes in settings open one entry at a time instead of unfolding every version you had not clicked yet, and releases from before you installed no longer sit there marked unread. a link at the bottom leads to the full history
- newa logs folder in settings. if the app ever misbehaves, it holds a plain text record of what happened, which makes it much faster to work out what went wrong. your todos are never written to it
v1.10.11
- newtyping -> in a todo turns it into a real arrow, and <- and => do the same. backspace right afterwards puts the plain characters back
v1.10.9
- newa tiny font size, one step below small, for fitting more on screen
- improvedthe font size setting now carries through the whole app. stats, settings, the shortcut panel and the hint bar all follow it, so picking a larger size makes a bigger difference than it used to
v1.10.8
- improveda long todo keeps its full text in view while you edit it, across as many lines as it needs, instead of folding down to a single line
v1.10.7
- improvedthe focus bar stays where you put it. a long todo title now widens the bar evenly on both sides, instead of stretching it off to the right
v1.10.6
- newthe receipt view can now mask todo titles, so a month full of work todos is still shareable. turn on privacy and every title is hidden until you click one and write a stand-in you don't mind showing
- fixedan empty slot now shows the number you actually clicked. slot 3 used to say "slot 2 empty", running one behind every other label in the app
v1.10.4
- fixedarchiving a todo closes out its time the same way completing it does, so a todo left running overnight no longer dumps a full day of work into your stats
- fixedon Windows, todoglow notices when the machine wakes from sleep and syncs by itself, instead of waiting for you to click the window
v1.10.3
- improvedon Windows, shortcuts are written the way Windows spells them, and the global hotkeys show the combo that actually works
- improvedmodifiers follow each platform's own order, so the same shortcut no longer appears two different ways on one screen
- improvedthe shortcut panel widens as you raise the font size setting, so nothing crowds together at larger text sizes
v1.10.0
- newtodoglow runs on Windows. same keyboard-first loop, with Ctrl standing in for ⌘ across every shortcut
- improvedthe dock and menu bar icons are now one setting (dock, menu bar, or both), so you can never end up with todoglow hidden from every icon at once
- improvedon a cold start, your todos show up right away instead of waiting behind a spinner
v1.9.20
- newa toggle for the menu bar icon, so you can hide it alongside the dock icon and reach todoglow by shortcut alone
- newif you hide your last visible icon, todoglow asks first and shows the shortcut that brings it back
- fixedwith the dock icon hidden, opening todoglow brings its window to the front instead of behind your other windows
v1.9.19

v1.9.18
- fixedthe stats and archive screens match the active slot's theme instead of always appearing dark
v1.9.17

v1.9.16
- fixedleaving a todo running while your Mac sleeps no longer inflates your tracked time or activity graph
v1.9.14
- fixedchanges from your other devices show up when your Mac wakes from sleep, instead of waiting until you quit and reopen the app

v1.9.12
- new⇧⌘C in the archive list copies the current day's todos with their active time and time range

v1.9.3
- improvedthe cloud icon in the title bar only shows up when a sync is actually slow
v1.9.2

v1.9.1
- newmulti-device cloud sync. sign in on more than one Mac with the same email, rename each device, or sign out a specific device (an old laptop, say) without touching the others. local data on the signed-out device stays put
