v2.3.0 - Say a task, get reminded at a place

Vicu 2.3.0 for Android and iOS

Vicu 2.3.0 lets you add tasks by voice and reminds you when you arrive at or leave a place. The task editor is calmer, quick add grows into it, and the + button does more: hold it to say a task, or drag it onto a day or project. Update the desktop app to 2.3.0 at the same time: it can pick a phone's saved place for a reminder, and adds tasks by voice too.

Add tasks by voice

• Hold + to say a task. Your words show in a card as you speak, with the date, project and labels picked out the way quick add reads them. Let go to add the task, slide down to cancel. A tap still opens quick add. The task goes to the list on screen: a project's tasks go to that project, Today's get today's date, unless you say otherwise.
• Siri on iPhone and iPad: "Hey Siri, add a task in Vicu" asks what the task is and adds it without opening the app.
• Android: the launcher shortcuts Add task and Add by voice, a Quick add widget with mic and + buttons, and a mic in the task list widget.
• With TalkBack, the + button has a "Say a task" action.

Location reminders

• Get reminded when you arrive at or leave a place: a saved place (Home, Work, ...), a searched address or where you are now, within 100, 200 or 500 m. Choose "At a location..." among a task's reminders. It fires once, also with the app closed, and never for a task that is done or deleted.
• Say it: "Call mom when I get home" or "Buy bread when I leave work", by voice or in quick add, sets the reminder for a saved place.
• Saved places sync: a place's name and the location reminders sync with your other devices and the desktop app; where a place is stays on the phone that saved it. A place saved on another phone shows "Not set on this phone" in Settings, Notifications, Places, with Set location.
• Location reminders need location access set to Always, so they work in the background. Vicu explains why before it asks.

A calmer editor

• The task editor is a sheet over your list. Today, Tomorrow, This weekend and Next week move a task with one tap, with Undo.
• Properties are rows in one card; the ones you have not set wait under Add. When, Priority, Remind and Repeat offer their common choices right there.
• Quick add has a Notes line, and expand (or drag the handle up) to continue in the full editor.
• Drag + onto a day or project in Today, Upcoming, Anytime or a project to open quick add with that date or project already set.

Routines

• Routines have one simple type: a name, up to five times a day (each with a reminder and a follow-up) and a repeat: daily, weekdays, every 1 to 4 weeks, or a number of days after you complete it. A missed day is "Not logged"; routines are never overdue. Older versions of Vicu keep reading them.
• Widgets show each routine's time.

More

• Save an attachment to Downloads on Android or to Files on iPhone and iPad, next to Share.
• Widget transparency: set how see-through the task list widget is (Android), with thanks to @drdanielbender.
• User-installed certificates are trusted on Android, so a server with your own certificate authority works, with thanks to @nasonovdanila.
• Widgets refresh right after a tap or an edit on Android 12 and later, with thanks to @drdanielbender.

Fixes

• Quick add's keyboard opens together with the sheet instead of after it.
• iPhone: the screen no longer slides up to the field you type in, which pushed Back and Done out of view; the notes editor shows Hide keyboard above the keyboard.
• iPhone: tapping a widget after the app was in the background for a long time no longer closes the app.
• Quick add's chips wrap instead of being cut off on a narrow phone.
