A cleaner BeatFocus
Release date: June 14, 2026
Same brain, new face. v0.2.5 is a top-to-bottom UI/UX refresh — flat, tech, focused. Less visual noise, more signal. Plus a smarter Insights tab that actually tells you something useful.
✨ New Features
- 14-Day Streak Heatmap — A row of dots right inside the Score card. See your consistency at a glance — every dot is a day, filled means you showed up.
- Smarter Productivity Score — Re-balanced for how producers actually work: 40% consistency · 35% volume vs. your personal baseline · 25% quality. No more punishing hobby producers for not hitting 20h weeks.
- Stale Project Warnings — If an active project hasn't been touched for 5+ days, Smart Insights flags it with a warning. No more forgetting that EP you started three weeks ago.
- Smart Insights, deeper — Now shows your strongest day of the week, peak hour, average session length, and best session length bucket — all in one card.
- Trend Badge — Weekly Activity card now shows
↑ 18%or↓ 12%vs. last week directly in the header.
🎨 UI / UX Redesign
- New design language — Flat surfaces, slight corner radius, Inter as the primary font, brand color used sparingly for active states and primary actions.
- Home View redesign — Left-aligned greeting with
FOCUS · WEEK XXheader. Project cards became clean list rows with inline status badges. The floating + button is gone — replaced with an inline+ NEWaction next to the section header. - Bottom Navigation — Replaced the floating pill island with a flat bar that uses a brand-color top border on the active tab.
- Project Detail — Beat items as list rows with a brand-color left border on the selected one. The Start Session button is now solid brand color (no more gradient).
- Timer View — Refined typography with
tabular-numsso digits don't shift while running. Preset pills with subtle outline style. - Side Panels — Filter tabs and session items rebuilt in the new outline style.
- Modals — Unified across the app: slight radius, left-aligned headlines, uppercase letter-spaced action buttons. Update modal icon now correctly left-aligned.
- Insights cleanup — Removed Trends and Active Hours cards (info now lives inside Smart Insights or the Weekly Activity header). Less scrolling, more substance.
🔧 Under the hood
- CSS Design Tokens — Brand, surface, border, text, radius, and font all centralized as CSS variables at
:root. Easier to tweak, easier to maintain. - Personal Baseline Calculation — Productivity Score now references your own 4-week average instead of a fixed 20h cap.
- Removed all backdrop-blur effects for a snappier rendering feel.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Project card status badges no longer drift to the wrong side of the row.
- Update modal layout properly left-aligned.
