Cadence Desktop v0.40.0

Changed

• Default priority is now a switch to start new tasks at Low; higher defaults made every task look important.

Removed

• The confidence, Smart Capture and Smart sort settings are gone; Cadence uses the setting that worked best for everyone.

Fixed

• Cadence no longer learns a habit from one unusual week.
• Shortcuts like 'tmrw', 'fri' and 'nxt wk', and spoken times like 'five pm', are read as dates and times.
• Typing today's weekday ('tuesday' on a Tuesday) always means today, or next week if its time has passed.

Full Changelog: v0.39.0...v0.40.0

Added

• Cadence guesses a task's Effort from the ones you've chosen before; tap to keep it, and day load uses it meanwhile.

Changed

• The assistant matches tasks to your energy and asks one quick question only when it needs the answer.
• Capture suggests a list only when it's surer, and questions or "boss says it's urgent" no longer set priority.
