apple calendar for iOS

long promised, finally here. in settings > integrations, you can connect your apple calendar.

this means it now fully works on desktop and iOS. so so happy to ship this heavy requested feature.

repeating todos

almost as heavily requested, also there now! on iOS and desktop you can setup todos to repeat daily, every tuesday and wednesday, twice a month,...

you can also decide if we should add those todos to the calendar. and also when they should be re-created.

design upgrade

  • our dock and calendar navigation got a glow-up 💅

todos

  • you can now archive lists
  • and pick from double the possible colors for lists

new event sync

if you still run into small issues, please send feedback and we'll get it fixed!

improvements

  • you can now pick which calendars our menubar shows in settings > calendars.
  • and we did many small fixes around todo descriptions, the todoist integration etc.

Amie update #114

June 18, 2024

ai scheduling

it's more responsive now and also supported on iOS. but that's just the entrée.

the main: in settings > general, you can now set preferred times™. just use natural language to create even complex preferences. this gives you full customizability.

and for dessert: you can now schedule all todos in a list (no longer only prio or deadline todos)

you can make both these changes in settings > lists. each list can have it's own scheduling preferences.

pomodoro timers

long overdue! for our favorite pro(modoro) users, we now display timers in the menubar. AND we now show a notification when it finishes. AND we also play a soothing short sound. no jumpscare like with the OG iPhone alarm, promise.

windows

good things come to those who wait, right?

well, now you can download our windows app on the website. or by clicking here

have fun and lemme know what you think

coming up soon™

  • new: recurring todos (ETA: june)
  • new: more AI Chat glow-up (june)
  • new: iOS apple calendar support for Amie Pro (july)

new improvements

  • added setting to hide todos in the all-day section
  • show event location preview in event card
  • when deleting an email, we now focus on the next email
  • auto-assignee yourself when creating todos via Notion integration
  • we now import subtodos from Things (not yet from Amie → Things)
  • priority todos now show at the top of their sublist

bug fixes

  • all day events from apple calendar don't show empty
  • creating events in apple calendar won't fail
  • clicking outside the calendar will now also close the event
  • event display correctly when opening from search
  • event privacy when created from todo correctly respects your preference
  • no more push notifications for events in background calendars

Amie update #106

March 25, 2024

hey, thanks to all of you who trialed Amie Pro after the last changelog 🫡

email push notifications

you can now get push notifications for emails on desktop and iOS! 💌

in desktop settings: turn them on/off for Email, Other or Calendar emails (this will be reflected on iOS too). we'll soon open the email directly from the push.

question: how could we improve our email routing for you? (ie. Email, Other, Calendar)

email signatures (once more)

signatures now get added for emails/replies on iOS :)

  • new: you can update signatures from within Amie (on desktop)
  • fix: we now handle complex signatures correctly

Private notes (for Amie Pro)

ever wanted to prepare for a meeting but not share that with guests? or take your own notes during a call? no?

well, now you can! (my personal fav use case: take notes during an interview. makes them super easy to find later)

fixes and improvements

  • improvement: when deleting a list, decide if you want to keep its todos (on iOS, desktop had this)
  • fix: we fixed 12 issues with todo creation and updating! there should be (nearly) no more issues ❤️‍🔥
  • fix: we fixed a bug where we removed the recurrence on todoist todos

coming up soon™

  • new: todo priorities on iOS (ETA: this week)
  • new: apple calendar support for Amie Pro (macOS ETA: next week, iOS ETA: tbd!)

lets all have a great week, ok? 🫦

Amie update #105

March 18, 2024

P1-P3: Set Priority or Super Priority

You can now add priority and super priority to todos and emails. So happy they actually feel like ✨ Amie ✨. Priorities in other tools always felt like Work.

We made it so that you can only set 3 Super Priority across lists to make them meaningful. Also, we shipped a ridiculous easter egg, let's see if you can find it.

Email Signatures

We heard you! Signatures are important. Compose an email and we'll append your signature (it needs to be set in Gmail). We're just waiting on Google right now to also be able to create/update signatures.

This is working on Desktop, and will be included in the next iOS release too.

Fixes and Improvements

  • Improvement: Create todos from the iOS Share Sheet
  • Improvement: Allow hiding snoozed todos (until the time has come)
  • Fix: Made the Send email entry point clear
  • Fix: Ask to send notifications when drag-n-dropping an event (iOS)
