Cadence 1.0.12

Privacy policy and terms of use, a faster site (its server code now runs in Tokyo, next to the database), instant Stop on the focus timer, and dialog and scrollbar polish. See What's new for the full list.

Cadence 1.0.0

Cadence for Windows, and Circles.

• A Windows app, installed from "Get the app" on your profile. It works without internet and without an account. Sign in, and your habits, check-ins and focus sessions are kept in step with your account, so what you do on your PC and on the web is the same everywhere. Sign in with your email or tag, or with Google.
• The app sends you notifications (the end of a focus phase, and a warning in the evening when a streak is at risk), can start when you sign in to Windows, lives in the tray with a way to start a focus session, and opens all of a habit's links in your browser at once. It updates itself.
• Circles: small, private groups of close friends or classmates. Nothing is shared until you choose, and then only as much of each habit as you like. See friends showing up as a conversation, react with an emoji, and give each circle a colour or pin it to the top.
• Partners: a circle for just two of you. Turn on Closer together to see each other's off days, for the habits each of you chooses, and see your week side by side.
• Create an account with an email, a tag and a password, and sign in with your tag or your email. After your first Google sign-in, choose your own tag and a password.

0.8.5

A new look for What's new.

• What's new now has one big card for each version line (0.8, 0.7 and so on), with its highlights. The newest card also shows the notes of the latest release.
• A "See every change" page with every release in full.

0.8.4

Smoother focus sessions.

• Stop now works at once: the timer stops the moment you press it instead of running on until the server answers. If it cannot be stopped, the timer comes back with an error message.
• The Long break box is greyed out when it cannot be used (it only comes after the 4th round, so it needs a plan of 5 or more rounds), with a note saying why.

0.8.3

Pause, and a tag of your own.

• Pause a focus session and carry on later, or stop it, from the panel or the bar at the top. Paused time is never counted as focus, on any device. A session left paused for more than 12 hours is closed with the time up to the pause.
• A tag of your own, like @yourname, on your profile. It starts from the first part of your email (or your GitHub name) and you can change it any time.
• A new line under the logo on the opening screen.

0.8.2: sounds, your way

0.8.2: Sounds, your way

• Your own sounds now show up when you start a focus session, next to the built-in ones.
• The sound you choose in your profile is now your default. Pick a different one for a single focus session, and Cadence remembers it for that habit.
• When a session ends, a new box lets you leave its minutes out of your focus time. "I did it" still only ticks the habit.

0.8.1: Credit where it's due

• A list of the people who have helped build Cadence, on the About page.

0.8.0: Your profile

• A profile page, opened from your picture in the top bar: your name, photo, timezone, week start and focus sound in one place, each changed in a moment.
• Choose your avatar: one of six characters or an emoji, in any colour, or upload a photo of your own.
• Your focus sound now follows you to any device. Add up to six sounds of your own, each up to five seconds.
• Pick your timezone from a list of cities, with a note about what changes when you move it.
• Your accent colour follows you to any device too, and there is a new grey to choose from.
• Appearance now lives in your profile.
• Take your data with you: export everything as a JSON or CSV file, or as a PDF report you can read and share, and restore a JSON or CSV backup whenever you like.
• Delete your account, and everything in it, if you ever want to leave.
• A "Get the app" button on your profile. Reminders, by push and by email, are shown as coming soon.

0.7.0: focus on a habit

Focus on a habit.

• Start a timer on any habit from Today or Home: Free (counts up until you stop) or Pomodoro (rounds of focus and break, with Classic, Deep and Short presets and your own numbers, remembered for each habit).
• A slim bar on every page while a session runs, with the time in the tab title while the tab is in the background.
• A chime when a round or a break ends, and a rising one when the session finishes, in a sound you choose (or silent), plus a browser notification if you allow it.
• When you stop, say "I did it" to tick the habit for that day.
• A new Focus time card on Progress: the minutes you focused, in total and for each habit.
• The loading screens now fit small phones.

Cadence 0.6.3

Cadence goes with you.

• Install Cadence on your phone or computer like an app, with its own icon and window, shortcuts to Today and Progress, and an offline page when your connection drops.
• Every page now fits phones and tablets: a tab bar at the foot of the screen on phones, long habit names that wrap, a year heatmap that scrolls sideways, dialogs that fit the screen, and larger buttons to tap.
• A new footer.

Cadence 0.5.0

More ways to shape a habit.

• Habits on fixed days of the week, such as Monday, Wednesday and Friday: they only show on those days, and the other days never break a streak.
• Optional habits, with no fixed days: they sit in their own "Whenever you like" list and count how many times you do them each year.
• Links on a habit: add up to ten, then open them all in one click from Today, Home or the Habits list.

Cadence 0.4.0

Instant pages.

• Pages open instantly with your latest data, then refresh quietly in the background.
• Ticking, archiving, restoring and deleting a habit answer at once; if something goes wrong, it goes back and tells you.
• A tick on Home or Today shows on every page right away.
