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.exebelow 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.exeis 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.
