Changelog

What changed in Eisenhower Matrix for Todoist, newest first. Dates come from the project’s commit history. Small fixes and internal work are left out. For how each feature works today, see the features page.

Updated

September 2026

  1. Pomodoro cycle in Single Task Focus

    The timer now runs a real cycle: focus round, break, next round, with a long break after each set.

    • Presets Classic (25/5/15), Deep (50/10/20) and Light (15/3/10), or custom lengths and 2–6 rounds per set.
    • Breaks start on their own; focus rounds wait for you. Both are switches, plus an optional chime.
    • B starts or skips a break and starts the next round; P pauses.
    • Breaks count as pauses, so focus time and deep focus leave them out.

  2. Focus statistics: day, week and month

    Statistics › Focus is rebuilt around sessions.

    • Focus time, deep focus (25+ minutes without a pause), sessions and tasks completed in focus, each compared with the period before.
    • An optional daily focus goal, shown as a line on the chart and as days met.
    • Every session listed by day, with its pauses, tasks and filter; delete with five seconds to undo.

  3. Single Task Focus v2

    A new focus view built around one queue: the tasks your current filter shows, in matrix order, with today’s focus first.

    • Space completes and the next task slides in; U undoes for five seconds.
    • Inline notes save as you type and go to Todoist as one comment.
    • Search the queue with / or ⌘/Ctrl+K; a summary when you exit.

  4. Ambient sounds, rebuilt

    Nine sounds generated in the browser: calmer, seamless loops that are matched in loudness and crossfade when you switch. They also start more reliably across browsers and sit at a gentler default volume.

  5. Focus timers keep running in the background

    The timer stays right when the browser tab is in the background, on desktop and mobile, and the minimised timer bar opens the timer when clicked.

  6. Rename tasks in place

    Double-click a title, or press R or F2, to rename a task without leaving the matrix. The change goes to Todoist with Undo. New tasks now keep the due date and deadline you picked in every time zone.

  7. Compact filters

    On desktop the filters are one toolbar row instead of a panel.

    • Project and label are searchable lists: type, pick several, remove with Backspace.
    • The All filters panel brings in your Todoist filters, with the date filter first and one save button.
    • Smoother motion when filters change.

  8. Undo for completing and moving tasks

    Completing a task can be undone from its notification, which reopens it in Todoist. Every move between quadrants offers Undo too.

  9. Fixes

    • Today’s focus no longer marks tasks as done when a Todoist filter hides them.
    • Single Task Focus no longer fails when the queue is briefly empty.
    • Row actions at the bottom right of the matrix are clickable again.
    • Classic view: quadrant cards in a row share their height.

  10. The Clean view, now the default

    A new matrix layout: a quiet cross with urgency across and importance down, task rows grouped by date, and a keyboard-first design.

    • A shortcut strip above the matrix and a full list on ?; the strip can be hidden.
    • Motion for completing, moving, expanding and folding quadrants.
    • Clean is the default for everyone; Classic stays one key (V) away.

  11. A friendlier first run

    New accounts get a welcome card, a short starter sort of their most pressing tasks, a guided walk through the matrix and a few tips on day two. The daily review no longer opens on the day you sign up.

  12. A warmer look

    A warm neutral palette with calmer quadrant colours, a new tab title and a matrix favicon.

  13. Daily review: Clear → Choose → Commit

    The morning review is redesigned in three steps: clear what carried over, choose up to three tasks, commit to the plan.

  14. Delete your account and data

    A new Delete Account option removes everything the app stores about you, after you type DELETE to confirm. Your Todoist tasks are not touched.

  15. Faster

    Fewer requests when you complete tasks and a quicker first load.

August 2026

  1. Auto-prioritize for more accounts

    Auto-prioritize now also works for accounts connected with a Todoist API key, and reports the tasks it skipped.

  2. Hide subtasks filter

    Show only top-level tasks. The setting is saved with your filter presets.

  3. Presets and Todoist filters in one row

    Your saved presets and your Todoist filters now sit together, with consistent separators.

  4. A richer daily review and Today’s focus bar

    The review shows yesterday’s recap and suggested picks, and Today’s focus stays in a persistent bar above the matrix. Completed recurring focus tasks are marked as done.

  5. Smoother with long lists

    Task rows render only when on screen, and the first load of the matrix is smaller.

July 2026

  1. Daily review

    A new morning plan-your-day ritual: handle what carried over, then pick today’s focus. Recurring tasks can be rescheduled inside the review.

  2. Sturdier loading

    Better handling of slow loads, app updates and Todoist outages.

  3. Simpler statistics

    The Matrix insight and balance cards were simplified, then removed from Statistics.
