Choose a tag to compare

@Unblonded Unblonded released this 04 Nov 07:37

The Windows and Mac apps are rebuilt on Tauri, using the system's own web view instead of carrying a whole browser.

Smaller and lighter

  • Downloads are about 30× smaller: the Windows installer is about 3 MB (was 83 MB) and the Mac dmg about 4 MB (was 100 MB).
  • About a third of the memory while running, with the window and widgets open.
  • Everything is still there: tray and menu-bar menu, quick add and show/hide shortcuts, desktop widgets, Pin to desktop, always on top, open at login, reminders as notifications, clear cache.

Updating

  • Windows: Capri 0.6.x updates itself to this version. The new app replaces the old one and keeps your server, widgets and shortcuts; sign in once more.
  • Mac: install the new dmg once. From now on the Mac app updates itself too.
  • On Windows 10 PCs without Microsoft's WebView2, the installer downloads it first.
  • Passkeys aren't available in the Mac app (macOS only allows them in apps with a paid Apple developer account), as before.

Also new (on the web app, so already live)

  • Forgot password by email: enter your username or email and Capri emails you a code.
  • Focus timer: set the focus and break lengths properly, with − and +, a box to type minutes, and quick picks.
  • Completed → Year works on Todoist accounts, and bug reports from the bottom of Account.
  • Link previews for capritasks.xyz, iPhone Home Screen steps, and a fix for the task description squashing in small windows.

Downloads

  • Windows: Capri-Setup-0.7.0.exe (installs and updates itself) or Capri-Portable-0.7.0.exe (no install)
  • Mac: Capri-0.7.0-mac-arm64.dmg (Apple Silicon) or Capri-0.7.0-mac-x64.dmg (Intel)
  • Android: Capri-0.7.0-android.apk

The Mac app isn't notarised: the first time, right-click Capri in Applications and choose Open, then Open again.
