What's new
FloatTask updates itself, so you'll usually have these already. Here's what changed, newest first.
Oct 21, 2026Version 0.4.7
- Sign in with your email. Choose Email me a code, type the 6-digit code we send you, and you're in. Google sign-in works as before, and you can still connect a Google calendar.
- The widget can show the time you gave a task today, which starts at 0:00 each morning, or its total. Pick one in Settings, under Widget. Today's time is the new default; the other figure sits under the goal.
- Open a task in the app to see its time spent: today, this week, in total, and day by day for the last two weeks.
- Task and meeting names in the widget wrap onto up to three lines instead of being cut off. Hover one to see all of it.
- Drag the open widget by its top, or any empty space, to move it.
- The collapsed circle's shadow is round, with no square corner behind it.
Oct 20, 2026Version 0.4.6
- The time in the widget's ring has room to breathe. It sits in the middle, a little bigger than before, and no longer runs into the ring once you pass an hour.
Oct 20, 2026Version 0.4.5
- Notes on My Day now sit in a small card under your list, so they don't push the day off the screen.
- Wrap up day moved to the top, next to Edit day.
Oct 20, 2026Version 0.4.4
- My Day is simpler. One card holds the task you're on; everything else for today is a plain list. Hover a task and click Start this to switch.
- Finished tasks fold away into a single “N done” line.
- There's one done button now, unless the task still has steps left.
- Notes on Overview is a ruled page with room to actually write.
- The timer pill on the collapsed ring no longer gets cut off once you pass an hour.
Oct 20, 2026Version 0.4.3
- The Mac app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens like any other app. No more trip to Privacy & Security.
- Connecting Google Calendar asks for less: read-only access to events on calendars you own, nothing else. If you connected before, you'll be asked once more.
Oct 20, 2026Version 0.4.0
- The app opens on My Day.
- Reflections arrived under Insights: one for each month, one at mid-year and one at the end of the year.
- Timers stop counting while your computer is asleep.
- Assist asks you to click before it deletes anything.
- Your sign-in is encrypted on your computer, and Settings has an Export data button.
- Plan & billing has its own place in Settings, and says exactly what a plan change costs.
Oct 16, 2026Version 0.3.0
- A new Overview page with everything that isn't today's work.
- Pick Work, School, Personal or any mix. School adds a Classes page with your timetable and homework by due date.
- A fourth painted scene: Science, with lab notes and star charts.
- The FloatTask mark replaces the old sun icon.
Oct 8, 2026Version 0.2.0
- Assist is built in. Sign in with Google and it works, with no API key to set up.
- FloatTask Pro, with a 7-day free trial.
- floattask.com went up.
Oct 6, 2026Version 0.1
- The first builds, for a few friends: a widget in the corner, a timer on every task, and your Google Calendar meetings beside them.
Every build is on the releases page.
