v1.7.2

Qalm 1.7.2: Python in your pocket

Important: a one-time reinstall

Qalm has a new app signing key, so Android will not install this over Qalm 1.6.0 or older. Your data is safe if you follow these steps. This only happens once, and future updates install normally.

1. In your current Qalm, go to Settings > Your data > Back up now and save the file somewhere safe (Drive or your email).
2. Uninstall Qalm.
3. Install the APK from this release.
4. Open Qalm, go to Settings > Your data > Restore a backup, and pick your backup file.

If you use an account with cloud sync, signing in again also brings your synced data back.

New: Code

A real Python editor built into Qalm. It works fully offline.

• Write and run Python with syntax colours, auto-indent, bracket pairing, autocomplete, undo and find. Press Run, or Ctrl+Enter with a keyboard.
• Plots and images show under your code: matplotlib charts, Pillow images and QR codes.
• input() works. Your program can ask you questions and you answer in the output panel. Long questions wrap onto as many lines as they need, so nothing gets cut off.
• Stop button for runaway loops, and short error messages that point to your own lines.
• Open and save .py files from your device, pick several at once, or drag them onto the editor on a tablet. Save all your scripts as a .zip in one go.
• Phone friendly: Code and Output tabs, plus a symbol bar (Tab, brackets, quotes and more) above the keyboard.
• 11 examples to start from, including a random colour palette, colour tools, plots, pandas, sympy algebra, a QR code maker and a tiny machine learning demo.
• Scripts are saved automatically and included in your Qalm backups.

Libraries included: numpy, pandas, scipy, matplotlib, seaborn, scikit-learn, sympy, networkx, Pillow, OpenCV, qrcode, colour, webcolors, colorspacious, rich, beautifulsoup4, lxml, pyyaml, markdown, jinja2, tabulate, duckdb, sqlalchemy, h5py, nltk, shapely, pydantic, cryptography and more.

Your code runs in a locked box: it cannot reach the internet or see your tasks, notes or any other Qalm data.

Also new since 1.6.0

• Hide the notes list on tablets and big windows to give the editor the whole width. Tap the panel icon, or press Ctrl+\ with a keyboard.
• Fewer broken layouts: grids now shrink to fit narrow screens, big text and side menus.

Good to know

• The app is now about 89 MB, because Python and all its libraries live inside it so they work offline.
• The first start of Python takes a few seconds.

v1.6.0

Qalm 1.6.0: music for focus 🎧

Thanks to the r/FrutigerAero community for the idea!

Focus sounds

• Built-in sounds: rain, waves, brown, pink and white noise, made right on your phone. No internet needed.
• They keep playing with your screen off, with a quiet notification and a Stop button.
• Pick a different sound for breaks, or turn sounds off during breaks.
• Plays alongside your own music, so you can mix rain with your playlist.

Your music app

• Control Spotify, YouTube Music or whatever's playing from the Focus screen: previous, play/pause and next, without leaving Qalm. Strict mode stays happy.
• Pause your music on breaks and resume it when focus starts, even with the screen off.

Playlists

• Save a focus playlist and a break playlist (Spotify, YouTube Music, YouTube or any link).
• Qalm can open them for you when focus or a break starts.
• Strict mode gives you a minute to start your playlist when Qalm opens it.

Find it all on the Focus page under Music, then tap Set up.

Installing

• Install this over Qalm or FLUX 1.2 or newer. Your data stays.

v1.5.0

Qalm 1.5.0: FLUX is now Qalm

Same app, new name. There were already lots of apps called Flux, so we picked a name that's short, simple and all ours: Qalm.

What changes

• The name: you'll see Qalm on your home screen, in the app, in notifications and on widgets.
• A new icon: the lightning bolt is now the Qalm Q, in every theme.
• New website: see all 15 themes live at the Qalm website.

What doesn't change

• Everything you made is still here: tasks, habits, notes, themes, mods and setups.
• Your account, friends and chats work exactly the same.
• Share codes and mods from FLUX keep working.

Installing

• Install this over FLUX 1.2 or newer. Your data stays.
• After updating, your home screen icon may disappear once because of the new icon. Just add Qalm back from your app drawer.

V1.4.1

FLUX 1.4.1: smoother Frutiger themes

Thanks to everyone who sent feedback on 1.4.0!

Faster

• Frutiger themes now scroll much more smoothly. The glass cards used a live blur effect that was heavy on phones. They now use a new Smooth glass look that keeps the frosted style, and in our tests scrolling went from about 35 to 42 frames per second up to 54 to 58.
• Prefer the original softer blur? Go to Customise > Background > Glass effect and pick Full blur.

Phones

• Move your menu anywhere: on phones, the menu bar can now sit at the bottom, top, left or right (Customise > Layout > Menu position).
• Icons only now works for the phone menu too.
• Customise only shows the options that work on your device.

Installing

• Install this over FLUX 1.2 or newer. Your data stays.

v1.4.0

FLUX 1.4.0: the Customise update

The biggest FLUX update yet. Make it look and work exactly how you want.

Themes

• The whole Frutiger collection is redrawn, with glossier, more 3D art: Aurora, Night, Alba, Dorfic, Vector Garden, Dark, Cybercore, Evil and Fruits.
• New: Frutiger Aqua. Sky, sea and underwater in one, with dolphins, tropical fish and glass bubbles.
• New: Frutiger Metro. 2000s club vectors with its own sticker-style cards.
• Bubbly glass UI on every Frutiger theme: pill buttons, round cards and glass lists.
• Frutiger Aero, Aero Eco and Aero Night have been retired. If you used one, FLUX moves you to the closest match automatically.

Customise (Settings > Open Customise)

• Layout: put the menu on the left, right, top or bottom, show icons only, change its width, or move the phone bar to the top.
• Menu editor: rename sections, give them emoji icons, reorder or hide them, or hide the menu completely.
• Style: card styles, corner shapes, accent colour, fonts, app size and density.
• Background: turn the theme art off, fade it or blur it, and control animations.
• Share your setup with a code, or apply a friend's code in one tap.
• Advanced: your own CSS, plus HTML for a top banner and a background layer.
• Mods: small scripts that add taskbars, docks, menus and animated backgrounds. Run up to 8 at once. Mods run in a locked box with no internet, and they only get your tasks, habits, calendar, timetable or notes if you say yes.
• Gallery: browse setups other people made, try them in one tap with instant undo, like them, and share your own. Look out for Staff Picks.

Home screen

• Themed widgets: widget frames now match your theme (glossy, glass, pixel, neon, sticker and more), or pick your own style.
• New Timetable widget: what's on now and next, and it flips to tomorrow after your last class.
• App icons: pick a FLUX icon for every theme, or let it match your theme automatically.

Fixes and polish

• Clearer text on busy theme backgrounds.
• Up-to-date wording about accounts, cloud sync and privacy throughout the app.
• Lots of small fixes.

Installing

• Already have FLUX 1.2 or newer? Install this over it. Your data stays.
• After updating, your home screen icon may disappear once because of the new app icons. Just add FLUX back from your app drawer.
