Task Manager v2.0.0

A complete visual redesign. Task Manager moves to the flat, square
"blueprint" look — a slate-blue accent, hairline dividers, and the bundled
Barlow type family — and gains a notification center, in-window reminder
toasts, and a friendlier task list. Nothing about your data changes; every task,
schedule, and integration link carries straight over.

✨ What's new

  • Brand-new interface. A cohesive light/dark theme built from a single set of
    design tokens: flat surfaces, crisp dividers, a slate-blue accent, and custom
    themed icons throughout. Dark mode was rebuilt to match.
  • Bundled Barlow font. The app now ships and uses the Barlow / Barlow
    Condensed fonts, so it looks the same on every machine. If they can't load, it
    falls back cleanly to Segoe UI.
  • Notification center. A bell in the header with an unread badge and a
    slide-in panel of recent alerts, plus a new Notifications tab for choosing
    which events notify you and how.
  • In-window reminder toasts. Task reminders now also appear as a dismissible
    card in the corner of the window, mirroring the desktop notification.
  • Clearer task list.
    • Priority now shows as a coloured badge (Urgent / High / Medium / Low).
    • Each row has a checkbox — tick it to complete or reopen a task in place.
    • A drag handle on every row makes manual reordering more discoverable.
  • Redesigned task editor. Priority is now a segmented control instead of a
    dropdown, so all four levels are visible at a glance.
  • Refreshed integration tabs. The Azure DevOps and Linear settings are laid
    out in "blueprint" panels, and Linear's exclude-labels now wrap as tidy chips.
  • Smoother busy indicator. The footer's progress bar is replaced by a compact
    animated spinner that names the running sync.

🐛 Fixes

  • Manual reordering no longer makes a task briefly vanish. Drag-to-reorder now
    runs its own drag so the table is never left with a missing row until the next
    refresh.
  • Linear remembers your team names. Selected teams now display as
    "Engineering (ENG)" after a restart instead of a bare id.

📦 Install

  • Recommended: download TaskManager-Setup.exe below and run it. It
    installs to your user profile (no administrator rights needed), creates
    shortcuts, and can be removed later from Settings → Apps.
  • Portable: the standalone TaskManager.exe is still available if you
    prefer to run it without installing.

Note: the installer and app are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may
show a warning on first run — choose More info → Run anyway.
