Changelog
Every CrossOff release, and what it brought. Updates are free within the current major version.
0.8.0
Latest- Project notes — every project now has a space for the thinking around the work, not just the tasks: decisions, context, links, call notes. Entries are dated, so a project you return to over months reads as a log rather than one sprawling page.
- Formatting you can see as you type — headings, bold, lists, checklists, quotes and links appear formatted while you write them, with a toolbar so you never need to know any markdown. Buttons light up to show what's switched on, and clicking one again switches it off.
- Built for a long-running project — open notes full screen for a search box and a dated list of every entry to jump between. Notes are stored as plain text, so they travel with your backups, exports and folder sync exactly like everything else.
- The version is visible — CrossOff now shows which version you're running at the bottom of Data & updates, and support emails report it correctly instead of always claiming 0.1.0.
- Tidier wide screens — the summary cards line up with the task list and notes below them instead of being stranded to the left on a large monitor.
0.7.1
- Manual ordering now works — dragging tasks into your own order had no effect in the desktop app, because the window was intercepting the drag before the page ever saw it. It works now, on the board and in the list.
- Easier to grab and aim — the whole card is draggable rather than a few pixels of its edge, and the drop marker shows which side of a task you're about to land on instead of just highlighting it.
- Roomier Data & updates panel — it was sharing a width with the legal pages and wrapping tightly around file paths and options.
0.7.0
- Board view — a new toggle in the task bar switches your tasks between the list and a wall of post-it notes, each tinted with its project's colour. Task notes, which used to be hidden until you opened a task, are now readable straight from the board.
- Your whole workspace at a glance — in All tasks the board groups notes into a labelled section per project, and each section folds away when you want it out of the way.
- Made for wide screens — the board spreads across the full width of a large monitor instead of staying in a narrow column, so you can see roughly twice as many tasks at once. The list keeps its comfortable reading width.
0.6.0
- Sync between devices — optionally keep a copy of your workspace in a folder iCloud Drive, Dropbox or Google Drive already syncs, and load it on another machine. Your database itself is never put in a synced folder, because that corrupts SQLite; CrossOff writes a safe snapshot instead. Loading one backs up your current workspace first.
- Quiet update checks — CrossOff can look once a day for a new version and show a small dot on Data. No popups, no automatic downloads, nothing about you is sent, and you can switch it off.
- Fixes — menus now close when you click away; adding your very first task no longer makes you enter it twice; right-clicking no longer shows the browser's own menu; and on wide screens the search box and Add task line up with your task list instead of drifting to the window edges.
0.5.0
- Edit & duplicate projects — rename, recolor, or describe a project any time; duplicate one (with its open tasks) to reuse it as a template.
- Real sorting — order tasks by due date, priority, newest, or manually with drag & drop.
- Safer imports — restoring from a file now asks first and always snapshots your current data to the backups folder.
- Tray icon — closing the window keeps CrossOff running quietly, so the quick-capture hotkey works any time; quit from the tray.
- Window memory — CrossOff reopens at the size and position you left it.
- Richer task capture (note + project in the add bar), clear-completed, delete confirmations, a friendlier first run, and platform-correct shortcut hints.
0.4.0
- Dark mode — System / Light / Dark, following your OS by default.
- In-app updates on Windows — check manually, install with one click.
- First Linux release (.deb / .rpm).
0.3.0
- Import, export & automatic backups — your workspace as a portable JSON file, plus periodic local snapshots.
- Keyboard shortcuts and a global quick-capture hotkey (reassignable).
- Manual update check — CrossOff never phones home on its own.
- Native system font on every platform.
0.2.0
- First macOS release (universal — Apple Silicon & Intel).
- License activation.
0.1.0
- Initial release: color-coded projects, tasks with due dates and priorities, search and filters, progress summaries, native SQLite storage — fully offline, no account.
