Search results are the tasks you searched for. Narrowing a search could leave results from what you had typed a moment before, with the right number of them and the wrong names.

Waypoint's questions can be reworded. The ones DayMap provides start as they always were and are now yours to change, and days you have already written keep the wording you answered.

Settings keeps a copy of what the last search did, so a search that looks wrong can be reported without having to describe it.

A deadline on a repeating task now repeats with it. An annual filing due June 30 shows next June rather than counting the days since the last one.

Everything that names the day now changes at midnight together - the calendar's highlight on today, the first day of Upcoming, Focus, Overlook and the deadline flags.

Fixes

Next 7 Days now begins on today when you switch to it.

All-day events are drawn as single lines rather than tall blocks. One of them no longer takes a third of the day.

A day with more than three all-day events shows the first three with a control to reveal the rest, and remembers that you opened it. Settings, Calendar has a Show every event option.

The space bar no longer completes the selected task while you are typing in a notes field.

A deadline due tomorrow becomes "Today" when the day turns, without quitting DayMap.

Escape closes the Quick Add panel again, and nothing is added when it does.

Two faint lines above the Quick Add panel are gone.

Improvements

On iPhone, swipe left or right in the space below a project's tasks to move to the next or previous project, without going back to the list first. The back arrow still returns to it.

Fixes

Quick Add opens ready to type. The field had to be clicked first, which defeated the point of a keyboard shortcut.

A new task goes to your Inbox when no project is selected, instead of to whichever project DayMap found first - which could be one in an area you were no longer looking at.

The paywall said a subscription "auto-renews yearly" while the monthly plan sat on the same screen. It now describes both, and says you can cancel at any time. It also names shared projects and Overlook, which it never mentioned.

Improvements

Search results no longer change between one search and the next. The same search could return a task twice, miss others, and list some that didn't match - differently each time.

Search now ignores accents, so typing "Andres" finds "Andrés" and "cafe" finds "café". Searching without the accent used to find nothing.

A task that matches in its notes now stays in its project column while you search, instead of disappearing from the board and appearing only in the results list.

Search results now show the matching sentence from a task's notes when the title doesn't contain what you searched for, with the match in bold. A result that looked unrelated could not say why it was there.

Fixes

On iPad, the menu bar had two View menus, one of them empty. There is one now, and it holds the View items.

If you don't have DayMap Pro, the note beside reminders and calendar sync now says Pro is needed, rather than saying Pro had ended.

Fixes

If a task cannot be written to your calendar, DayMap now says so in Settings instead of leaving you to notice. It still retries on its own.

Fixes

Calendar sync no longer sends an identifier between your devices that only means something on the device that made it. Fewer needless iCloud updates, and the same single event everywhere.

Fixes

When uploading to iCloud stops, DayMap now says so on the first launch rather than waiting, and tells you something that helps.

Settings has a Reconnect to iCloud button for the rare case where syncing stops and stays stopped. Your work isn't touched.

Fixes

Settings would not open on iPhone or iPad. It opens again.

Summary and Restore from Backup were drawn wider than an iPhone screen, so their edges were cut off. Both fit now.

The iPad's View menu

Collapsing and expanding projects, hoisting one to work on it alone, and showing or hiding completed tasks and calendar events are all in the iPad's View menu now, with the same keyboard shortcuts as the Mac. They were on the Mac only.

Search follows your completed-tasks setting

If you keep completed tasks hidden, search now hides them too, so looking up a name shows what is still live rather than everything you have ever finished. It tells you how many it left out.

A calendar that went missing

If you ever switched calendar sync on and then off again, the calendar you had picked could disappear from the events list on that device and stay gone. It comes back. Thank you to Ira for working out what caused it.

Make It a Bearing works in Shortcuts

The Make It a Bearing action refused to run, saying 3 Daily Bearings were switched off when they were on. Thank you to Andres for the report, which came with the diagnosis.

Summary

Look back over a week, a month, a quarter or a year: what you finished, which projects it went to, and how the days ran. Shift-Command-R, or File then Summary. Your Waypoint entries can be included, and are left out unless you ask. Saving it as a PDF or printing it needs DayMap Pro.

DayMap in six languages. DayMap now runs in Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Brazilian Portuguese as well as English, following the language your iPhone, iPad or Mac is set to. To use a different language for DayMap alone, choose it under DayMap in the Settings app on iPhone and iPad, or on the Mac in System Settings > General > Language & Region. If anything reads wrong, Report a Translation Problem - in Settings, and in the Help menu on the Mac - sends us the exact words.

Overlook: the day at a glance. The first time DayMap opens each day, Overlook shows your 3 Daily Bearings, what's at a time (calendar events included), deadlines due or overdue, what was carried over, and how much else is waiting, by project. Start the Day closes it. The eye in the toolbar opens it any time - on iPhone, it's on today's heading in the Schedule tab - and Settings turns off the automatic opening. Part of DayMap Pro.

Add a task to any day on iPhone. Each day on the Schedule tab has a + beside its date, in Upcoming and in Day. Tap it and the task goes straight onto that day, in your Inbox or in whichever project you choose, without picking the date. The sheet says where it will land before you add it.

Changing the date of a repeating task moves the day you opened. Open one day of a repeating task from the calendar, Upcoming or Focus and change its date, and that day moves - the rest of the series stays where it was. It used to move the whole series, so the day you meant sat where it was and every other week shifted. Opened from its project, the date is labeled Starts and still moves the series. Skip This Day sits beside it for taking one day off.

Quick Add fits on smaller iPhones. The Quick Add button no longer breaks onto two lines.

The month view follows Scheduler text size. On Mac and iPad, Large and Extra Large now make the month's day numbers and task names larger, the same as the week.

A task that no longer repeats stays on the day you put it. Turning off a task's repeat used to leave part of it behind, so the task could show up on days it was not scheduled for - and changing its date moved only one of the copies, which made the date look like it had not taken. Those leftovers are ignored now.

Restoring a backup now tells you if it did not work. A restore DayMap could not save used to finish with "Your backup has been restored" either way. It now says what happened, and says plainly that nothing was changed. If you ask it to undo changes made since the backup, it saves a backup of your current data first and stops rather than going ahead when it cannot.

Siri waits for the write. "Added to your Inbox" is said once it is saved rather than before, and the same goes for putting a task on today, marking one complete, and making one of today's Bearings. Voice capture on the Mac stays open and tells you why when a capture cannot be saved, instead of closing as though it had worked.

A task that cannot be saved now says so, wherever you typed it. Adding a line to a project, a day in the Scheduler, the Inbox or Quick Add used to clear the field and carry on whether or not the task had been written. If one cannot be saved, DayMap now quotes the line back to you with the reason, so nothing is lost without a word.

Keeping the Inbox in view no longer makes the board bounce. Columns sitting behind the Inbox slide out from under it, and nothing moves when there is nothing to move.

Turning iCloud on or off on iPhone and iPad now tells you that DayMap has to be fully quit and reopened before it takes effect. The Mac has always said so.

An empty project says what it is for. A project column with no tasks in it showed a name and nothing else; it now says what goes there, and an empty Inbox says that everything captured has been filed rather than that there is nothing to see.

Shared projects

Share one project with somebody else and you both work on the same tasks. Open a project's menu and choose Share Project, and the invitation goes by Mail, Messages or a link. Tick something off and it is done for both of you, on every day of a repeating task as well. You both need DayMap Pro, which Family Sharing covers. Your areas stay yours, so the other person sees the project without your filing. It is off until you switch it on, in Settings.

A monthly plan

DayMap Pro is now $4.99 a month, alongside $34.99 a year and the one-time lifetime unlock. All three unlock exactly the same features.

Shading behind the Scheduler

The Task Scheduler can now sit on a shaded surface, so it reads as a different space from the Project Planner rather than as more of the same white. Settings, General, under Scheduler shading, with three choices - None, Cool and Deep. None is how DayMap looked before, and it stays the default.

All-day events follow the text size

An all-day event's name now grows with the Scheduler text size, along with the control that reveals a busy day's remaining items. Both stayed small before, whatever the setting.

The app icon in dark and clear

The pin in DayMap's icon reads clearly in Dark, Clear and Tinted now, instead of nearly disappearing into the calendar behind it. Thank you to Andrew for the screenshots.

Light and dark is per device

Set your Mac to dark and your iPad to light, or the other way round, and each will stay as you left it. Light and dark is mostly about the room a device is in, so it no longer travels between them. Every other display preference still does.

Moving a project

Drag a project by its header and a lighter copy of the whole column comes with you, while the columns you pass slide aside to show where it will land. You can let go anywhere over a column rather than only on its colored band, and Command-Z puts the board back.

A better light mode

The search box in the toolbar is an outline rather than a grey filled box, so it stops reading as a bar across the window chrome.

The area behind your projects was a mid grey, so the space between columns read as a channel down the window rather than as breathing room. It is now a pale surface, and the columns sit closer together, which gives every project a little more width for its task names.

Dark mode is unchanged.

The icon looks right in dark mode again

DayMap's icon is built for iOS 26's light, dark, clear and tinted styles now, so it stays the blue tile with the white calendar in all of them. It is also back to the look DayMap launched with. Thank you to Andrew for the screenshots.

Undo a dropped list

Dropped a list on the wrong project? Command-Z removes every task it made, and only those.

Sync status that stays out of the way

The small cloud now sits inside the search box on the Mac and iPad, and in the toolbar on the iPhone, and appears only when sync cannot start. While DayMap is syncing normally nothing shows, and nothing in the toolbar moves.

The calendar's buttons stay put

Switching between Week, Next 7, Month and Upcoming no longer shifts the buttons in the calendar's header. Thank you to Jim for both.

Long task names in Focus

In Focus, a long task name now wraps to a second line, with the project name underneath it, instead of being cut off after a few words. Thank you to Ira for reporting it.

Hoist a project

Project menu, Hoist Project, or right-click a project's header: every other project collapses and the one you are planning has the board to itself. Expand All Projects brings them back. Also from Ira.

Drag a list into a project

Copy a list from Notes, Reminders, Mail or a web page and drop it on a project. Each line becomes a task, and indented lines become subtasks. Drop it on a task instead and the lines become that task's subtasks. Past twenty lines, DayMap asks first. Mac and iPad.

The window comes back where you left it

On the Mac, DayMap now opens at the size and position you last had it, including after an update. It used to forget after each new version. Thank you to Rene for reporting it.

Command-F finds the search box

On the Mac, Command-F now puts the cursor in the search box at the top right. Also from Rene.

The expand arrow means there is something under it

With completed tasks hidden, a task whose only subtasks were finished still showed an arrow that opened onto nothing. The arrow now appears only when there is a subtask to show.

Sync status, where you can see it

On the Mac and iPad a small cloud now appears beside the search box while DayMap is syncing, and turns orange with an explanation if sync cannot start. When everything is fine and idle, nothing is shown.

A missed drop stays put

Dragging a task within a day and letting go on empty space used to send it to the bottom of the day. It now springs back where it was. Thank you to Jim for both.

The expand arrow is easier to hit on iPad

Tapping the small arrow beside a task that has subtasks now folds it open or closed, rather than ticking the task off. The arrow had a target only a few points wide, and the checkbox next to it was taking the space you were aiming at. Thank you to Ira for reporting it, and for noticing that the iPhone's wider margin was hiding the same problem there.

Areas stop showing the wrong name on iPhone and iPad

After deleting an area, Settings could show one area's name on another's row, and leaving the page could then rename an area to the name its row was displaying. The Mac was fixed for this in 1.36 and the phone and iPad were not.

Deleting a task now tells you what goes with it

If a task has subtasks, or repeats, DayMap asks before deleting and says exactly what it takes — how many subtasks, how many past occurrences. Deleting a task used to take its whole list of subtasks with it and say nothing. Thank you to Jim for reporting it.

A bearing on a repeating task covers every day it repeats

Mark a repeating task as one of your 3 Daily Bearings and it's one of the three on every day it comes round, instead of being set again each time. The number still follows your order for that day, so it might be 1 on Tuesday and 2 on Wednesday. If a day already has three, that day keeps the three you chose.

Syncing works with iCloud Drive turned off

DayMap was checking iCloud Drive to decide whether it could sync, and it does not use iCloud Drive for your tasks. If you had it switched off, your work stayed on that device and nothing said so. It syncs now, and anything that was waiting goes up the first time you open this version.

Unchecking a task leaves its subtasks alone

Checking a task still finishes everything under it. Unchecking one no longer reopens them — so a subtask you finished yourself stays finished when you reopen the task above it. Use undo if you meant to reopen the whole thing.

Completing a repeating task no longer finishes its subtasks for good

Ticking a repeating task on the first day it was scheduled for used to tick off its subtasks permanently, for every future time it came round. Only that one day did it, which made it hard to spot. Each day stands on its own now.

A bearing takes its task to the top of the day

Marking a task as one of your 3 Daily Bearings now moves it to the top of that day's work. Set all three and they read 1, 2, 3 down the list, in the order you chose them. A task with a time on it keeps its place on the clock.

Go straight to a task's project

On Mac and iPad, right-click a task on the calendar or in Focus and the menu offers to take you to its project. It switches areas, opens the column if you had it folded, and scrolls to the task, wherever you had filed it.

Choose the screen DayMap opens to on iPhone

Settings > Your Day > When DayMap Opens lets you pick Projects, Today, Upcoming or Inbox. If you plan from Upcoming, that is where the app now starts, instead of two taps away. It applies when you open DayMap fresh, not when you come back to it from another app — being pulled somewhere else mid-task would be worse than the setting is worth.

Next 7 moves through the days without a break

Scrolling the Next 7 calendar and stopping part way now shows seven days in order wherever you let go. Thank you to Ugur for reporting this one, and for checking the dates rather than the day names — that is what made it findable.

The Schedule tab stays where you left it

On iPhone, switching to Inbox or Projects and back to Schedule now returns you to Day or Upcoming, whichever you were using.

Next 7 Days, on the toolbar

The calendar toggle now reads Week, Next 7, Month and Upcoming. "Next 7" starts on today and moves a day at a time instead of a whole week — it was already there under Settings, and this puts it where you are looking. It is the same setting in both places, so changing one changes the other.

See what is underneath a task before you move it

A scheduled task that has subtasks now shows a small mark and a count on the calendar, the way the planner shows an arrow beside it. Until now the calendar said nothing, so a task with three subtasks under it looked exactly like one with none.

Deleting a repeating task from its first day

Right-clicking the first day of a repeating task now offers "Delete Repeating Task". It used to offer only "Remove from Scheduler" — which on that one day ended the whole series rather than taking a single day off the calendar. Later days are unchanged and still offer Skip This Day and Delete This and Future.

Dragging a task onto another to nest it

The middle of a row is a larger target, so dropping one task onto another to make it a subtask lands where you meant it to.

Checking a task off on the phone

On iPhone, completing or uncompleting a task in the Schedule sometimes did not move the checkbox until something else refreshed the screen — the change was saved, but you could not see it. It updates straight away now.

Unscheduled tasks at the top of a project

A project can now show the tasks with no date on them first, above the ones you have scheduled, with a line between the two. Settings > Appearance > "Show unscheduled tasks first". Nothing is reordered and nothing moves in your calendar, and turning it off puts everything back exactly as it was.

Choose which Waypoint questions get asked

Settings > Waypoint > "Questions asked" lists every question, DayMap's and your own, and you can switch off any you would rather not be asked. Nothing you have already written is removed: look back at an earlier day and the question and your answer are both still there.

Turn your own Waypoint question into a checklist

Write a question of your own — "Things that matter each day" — save it, and give it up to ten check boxes. Water, teeth, reach out to a friend, whatever you want. Reword the question later and the boxes stay. If you have already answered it on some day, DayMap keeps the old wording there, so looking back still shows the question you actually answered.

Folding a task stays on the device you fold it on

Opening a task's subtasks on your Mac used to open the same task on your iPhone, and closing it closed both. How you have things folded is now yours alone, on each device. Whatever you had folded before this update stays folded.

Watch captures find their own way to iCloud

A task added on the Apple Watch away from your iPhone used to wait until you opened DayMap on the watch again. Now the watch asks for time to send it, so it arrives on its own. If it still cannot, the watch says so rather than leaving you to find out tomorrow.

A rolling week in the Task Scheduler

The Scheduler can now start on today and run seven days forward, moving a day at a time instead of a whole week. Settings > Calendar > Week view. Choose "Next 7 Days", or keep "Calendar Week" for Sunday-to-Saturday.

Settings now says what iCloud is doing

Settings > iCloud has a short report of whether setup, download and upload are working, on iPhone and iPad as well as the Mac. If something has stopped, the reason is there and can be selected and sent.

Nothing should be invisible

If DayMap ever finds a task that belongs to no project, it now puts it in your Inbox. You are unlikely to see this happen — it matters because such a task appeared nowhere at all, so the work existed and could not be seen or edited.

Fixed

Tasks no longer rearrange themselves. Rows in a project could swap places on their own, and adding a task somewhere else was enough to set it off.

On iPhone, tapping the arrow beside a task that has subtasks no longer ticks the task off by mistake.

A subtask you have typed but not yet added is kept when you close the Focus pane, instead of being thrown away.

Typing a task onto a day in the Scheduler keeps its whole name. "Pay the invoice by Monday" dropped on Friday used to lose its last two words.

Ticking off a repeating task

Completing one day of a repeating task now shows the check straight away. It was always being saved — the row just didn't catch up until you did something else or reopened DayMap.

One more thing to ask Siri

"Hey Siri, add this to the DayMap inbox." Siri asks what to add, and it goes straight into your Inbox.

Completed tasks disappear right away

On the Mac, ticking a task off left it on screen until you clicked something else. It goes as soon as you tick it now.

Choosing a project is easier

Changing which project a task belongs to now lists your projects by name, with the Inbox at the top. Projects you have archived are no longer offered, and neither is the Templates library.

Info on a long press, on iPhone

Press and hold a project in the Projects list for its details — name, color, areas, notes, archive and delete. Changing a project's color used to mean opening the project first.

Tell Siri what to remember

"Hey Siri, remember this in DayMap." Siri asks what, you say it, and it goes into today's Waypoint. The app doesn't have to open. Say two things during an evening and you get both.

Four more things you can ask

"What's on this week in DayMap" answers with a summary rather than a list: how many over the next seven days, how many are today, and which day is fullest. You can also put a task on today, name one as a Daily Bearing, or ask what's on today, without touching the screen.

Siri can see your repeating tasks

Asking what's on today now includes repeating tasks, and any occurrence you have moved or completed. It also leaves out anything in a project you have archived, the same way archived projects stopped sending reminders in 1.30.

Details when you add a task on iPhone

The New Task box has a Details button beside Add, the same one the Mac has had. Add works exactly as before. Details opens the new task, so a note, a deadline or subtasks are one step away instead of three.

Share a single day of your Waypoint

Change the date at the top of the Waypoint pane and Share offers that day by name, alongside This Week, This Month and Everything.

Fixes

A Waypoint answer written on two devices could gain the same line again every time it synced.

Sharing your Waypoint sent today's writing whichever day you were reading.

Deleting an area described what would happen to its projects using a rule that changed in 1.30.

Show a project in more than one area

A project is filed in one area and can now appear in others as well. Open a project's menu and choose Areas: "Belongs to" is where it is filed, and "Also appears in" is everywhere else you want to find it.

This changes something you may notice. A project with no area used to appear in every area view, and now appears under No Area instead. To have a project span everything, switch on every area and it will.

Archive a project instead of deleting it

Projects you have finished can be put away rather than deleted. They leave the board, stop reminding you, and keep everything in them. Bring one back whenever you want. Archived projects do not count toward the five-project limit.

Ask your own questions at the end of the day

Settings, Your Day, Waypoint: add two questions of your own, and they are asked alongside the ones DayMap comes with. Change one later and your earlier answers keep the question you actually wrote them under.

Share what you have written in Waypoint

From the top of the Waypoint pane: Today, This Week, This Month or Everything, as plain text through the usual share sheet.

Deleting an area asks what to do with its projects

Rather than a plain delete, you choose whether to archive the projects it holds or keep them on the board. The areas menu now also says how many projects are filed nowhere, so none of them go missing.

Set how wide your project columns are

Settings, Appearance: choose Small, Medium or Large columns, or set them all at once. Dragging a column's edge still adjusts that column on its own. The choice is per device, so a width that suits your Mac does not follow you to your iPad.

Reminders offer to turn on when you set a time

Setting a specific time on a task now asks whether to switch reminders on for this device, so a task with a time actually reminds you.

Fixes

Dragging the first occurrence of a repeating task onto another day left a copy behind on the day it came from.

An archived project's reminders kept going off.

Backups now keep changes made to a single occurrence of a repeating task, and bring them back when you restore.

What's New listed the previous release rather than the update you had just installed.

Typing in the task editor

Typing a task's name or notes no longer falls behind, however much history you have in DayMap.

Choose the area DayMap opens to

Settings, Areas, "Open to" - All Areas, Last Used, or one of your own. DayMap used to open to everything every time. Your choice follows you to your other devices.

Reading a week

The date beside each weekday in the Task Scheduler is easier to read, the day headers follow the Task Scheduler text size, and a scheduled task that has notes now shows a small mark.

A dragged task stops staying greyed out

Dropping a task onto a project column left the row it came from faded until you clicked elsewhere and back.

Undo after a drag, and a way out of a subtask

Command-Z undoes a drag now - nesting a task, reordering one, or moving one to another project. A "Move Out of Subtask" item appears on right-click on the Mac and on long press on the iPhone.

Typing in a long note

Typing no longer falls behind in a long note, and fast typing no longer scrambles what you wrote.

Focus on iPad

Focus opens as a full-width sheet, so every field fits without scrolling.

Dragging a task on the Mac works again

A task dragged inside a project could refuse to move and show a message about a file that couldn't be read. Dropping a file onto a task still adds it as a link.

Put your areas in the order you want

Settings, Areas, Edit, then drag. The order you choose is the order everywhere - the filter menus, the New Project sheet, every device.

Lists in notes become subtasks

A bulleted list in a note carries on by itself - press Return and the next line starts with its own bullet. When a note holds one, a button moves those lines out of the note and into the task's subtasks, nesting and all.

Focus does the whole job

The detail pane in Focus now carries the same fields as Get Info: deadline, the project it belongs to, the full set of repeat options, and the notes editor with its formatting and links. Drag the bottom-right corner to make the pane larger, and it stays that size.

Details from the + on the iPhone

The capture sheet has a Details button. Type the task, press Details, and the full editor opens on it - project, date, deadline, repeat and notes - instead of adding it to the Inbox and going to find it. Quick Add still adds in one move.

What's New stays open on the iPhone

Tapping What's New in Settings opened it for an instant and then closed Settings with it. It stays up until you press Done, and its text now wraps to your screen instead of breaking mid-sentence.

A free trial could not buy anything

During the 14-day trial DayMap said Pro was active and offered only Restore Purchases, with no way to reach the purchase screen. The Pro section now names the plan you are on - trial with days left, yearly, or Lifetime - and offers a way to buy unless you already own Lifetime. Redeem a Code is there too.

Timed tasks at the top of a day, or the bottom

Settings, Appearance. Tasks with a time now sit at the top of a day by default, where you see them first. They stay pinned either way, so they never scroll out of sight, and Bottom is still there if that is how you plan.

A project with no area now stays in view

Filtering the board to an area used to hide projects that were in no area at all, so a project spanning everything disappeared whenever you filtered. An area filter hides what belongs to the areas you did not pick, and an unfiled project belongs to none of them. No Area still lists only the projects you have not filed.

A task could disappear when you turned its repeat off

Setting a repeating task back to Repeat: None, or unscheduling it, left the task hidden rather than removed - gone from its project and from search, on every device. Nothing was ever deleted, both ways in are fixed, and a task already in that state comes back the next time DayMap opens.

Repeat on the second Tuesday of every month

Set a task to Monthly and choose the day of the month or the weekday it falls on - Second Tuesday, Last Friday. Every 3 months on the first Monday works too.

See which project and task a scheduled item belongs to

Settings, Appearance: "Show where a task comes from". Each task on the calendar then names its project and the task at the top of its group, so two tasks called the same thing are told apart. Off until you turn it on.

What's New, inside the app

After an update DayMap shows what changed since the version you last had, and Settings, About keeps every release with its date.

Notes can be formatted

Bold, italics, bullet lists and links in a task's notes. Select a word and press a button, or type Markdown yourself. Bold looks bold as you write it, and a link keeps your words with the address behind them.

Drag a file onto a task to link it

Drop a file from Finder onto a task and its link goes into the notes, with a mark on the row so you can see it is there. A file in iCloud Drive or Dropbox will open on your other devices; one on your Mac's own disk will not, and DayMap says so beside the link.

Hold Option while dragging to copy a task

On the Mac, Option makes the task you drop a copy and leaves the original where it was - onto another task, into a project, or between days on the calendar.

Subtasks in the task editor

Open a task and its subtasks are there, with a field to add another. On every device - the iPhone had no way to add a subtask before.

Unscheduling a repeating task turns the repeat off

Taking a repeating task off the calendar used to leave the repeat behind, so it still called itself Daily and appeared nowhere. Both go together now, Command-Z brings both back, and any task already in that state is repaired when DayMap opens.

No grey box behind the day's timed tasks

Tasks with a time sit pinned at the foot of their day. The grey panel behind them made them harder to read rather than easier, and the line above them already says they are separate.

Scheduler text size on the iPad

Settings, Appearance. The calendar's text is smaller than the planner's above it, which is deliberate - the calendar fits seven days across. The Mac has had a control for that balance and the iPad had none. Three steps now, and Extra Large makes the two match. It works alongside your system text size rather than replacing it.

iCloud sync follows your setting and your plan

Switching iCloud sync off now stops it, and on the free tier DayMap keeps your data on the device. Whatever has already reached iCloud stays there, and your tasks are on your device either way.

Repeating tasks are no longer crossed out

A repeating task in a project could appear struck through and greyed, as though it were finished, with no way to change it back. A repeat is a rule rather than a task you finish, and it now looks like one on every device.

A task that could go missing on the Watch

If you moved one day of a repeating task and later cleared that task's date, the day you moved still showed on iPhone and Mac but not on the Watch. It shows everywhere now, and the Watch complication counts it.

Carry unfinished work to today

Settings, Your Day. Anything left on an earlier day moves onto today the first time you open DayMap each day, oldest first. It tells you what it moved and offers to put it back. Repeating and finished tasks are left alone.

Reorder tasks on the iPhone

Tap Edit on a project and drag the handles. Root tasks; subtasks travel with their parent.

The task you are dragging steps back

The task you picked up now fades while you carry it, and settles into its new day rather than appearing there. It no longer floats a labelled pill beside it - you drag the row itself, as the old DayMap did.

The iPad keyboard works in the planner and the calendar

Delete removes the selected task, and takes a selected block off the calendar. Space ticks a task off. Command-Z puts back what you deleted. None of those had ever reached those panes. Clicking a task now lets go of the search box, and both keys still belong to whatever you are typing in.

Space completes a task on the Mac calendar

Select a scheduled block and press space, as you can in the planner.

Typing no longer sets off a keyboard shortcut, or disables one

A space typed into a project's name ran the shortcut for completing the selected task instead of typing a space. Separately, adding or renaming once left every shortcut dead until the app was quit. Fixed on every platform.

Drag several tasks at once

On a Mac, Command-click or Shift-click to select more than one task, then drag them together - onto a day, onto another task, or onto a project. They land in the order you see them, and a selection can span projects. Deleting several asks first.

Duplicate a task

In a task's menu, next to Copy, on Mac and iPhone. The copy keeps the notes, subtasks, day and deadline.

Project colors on the iPad calendar

A scheduled task shows its project's color down its left edge, as it does on the Mac. On iPad there had been no color indicator at all.

A quieter mark for scheduled tasks

The red badge beside a scheduled task is a thin outline now rather than a filled circle, and iPhone and Mac draw it the same way.

A bigger scheduler text size on the Mac

The size picker has a fourth, larger step.

You can see what you have selected

Selecting a task in a dark-colored project barely showed anything. A selected row now stands out whatever color its project is, while still carrying that project's tint.

Choose where captured items go

Quick Add and voice capture always put things in your Inbox. Settings, General, "Capture to" lets you pick any project instead. The Inbox stays the default.

Add a task straight onto a day

In the week view, hover a day for a + or double-click an empty part of the column, then type. Your text is read for dates as usual, but the day you picked wins.

Selecting in one pane shows it in the other

Click something on the calendar and its task is highlighted in the project list; click a task and every day it falls on is highlighted on the calendar.

Dictation settings on the Mac

Choosing the language voice capture listens for was only ever possible on iPhone. It is in Mac Settings now.

Clearer answers when calendar access is refused

If DayMap could not be given access to your calendar, it now names the two causes it could not name before: running the iPhone and iPad version of DayMap on a Mac, which cannot be granted access that way, and Screen Time restrictions quietly preventing the permission box from appearing at all.

Drag a task to any day, not just a visible one

While dragging a task, hold it over the arrows beside the date and the calendar pages under it, or over Today to jump back. Before this, a day that was not already on screen could not be reached by dragging at all.

The iPhone stays upright

Turning a larger iPhone sideways used to switch DayMap to its iPad layout, a different screen with its own filters. On an iPhone-sized screen that was never the right answer, so the iPhone is portrait only now. iPad is unchanged.

Settings is grouped

iPhone Settings was fourteen sections in one long scroll. It is now seven groups you can see at once — Appearance, Your Day, Calendar, Reminders, iCloud and Backups, Areas, and General — each opening its own page. Calendar sync and calendar events are together at last.

Find your version, and the help, in Settings

Settings ends with an About section: which version you are running, the guide, the keyboard shortcuts page, support, terms and privacy, and a button that emails support with your version and device already filled in.

Templates

Any task with subtasks is a checklist. Now you can keep one and start it again whenever you need it. Right-click a task on the Mac, or press and hold it on iPhone, and choose Save as Template, then give it a name. Start one from the project menu on the Mac, or from under Add Task on iPhone.

Templates live in an ordinary project called Templates, so editing one is editing a task. Copies arrive undated, so nothing shows up already late.

Templates are part of DayMap Pro. If your subscription ends, your templates stay where they are and you can still read them. A checklist you already started is an ordinary task and stays yours to finish.

Turning on calendar access

If DayMap could not be given access to your calendar, the message you saw pointed you to a System Settings pane that did not list DayMap, because macOS only lists an app there once it has managed to ask. The message now says what is actually happening and what to do instead, and the button to open Settings appears only when there is something there to change.

Every keyboard shortcut, on one page

Help then Keyboard Shortcuts. The board and the calendar have keys that appear in no menu, so there was no way to discover them from inside the app. Now there is a page that lists all of them.

Duplicate events in Apple Calendar

If you sync tasks to Apple Calendar and use DayMap on more than one device, the same task could appear two or three times on the same day, because each device made its own copy without recognizing the others. New copies stopped being made in the last update. This one clears the copies already in your calendar.

Only DayMap's own calendar is touched. If you sync into a calendar of your own, nothing in it is removed.

New projects, where you want them

Right-click a project column on the Mac and choose New Project to the Right, and the new project lands just after that one rather than at the far end of the board. On iPhone, press and hold a project row and choose New Project Below. The button at the foot of the list still adds to the end.

Step between areas from the keyboard

Control-Tab moves to the next area and Shift-Control-Tab goes back, so you can change what the board is showing without reaching for the mouse. All Areas is part of the cycle, so you can clear a filter the same way you set one. Areas are part of DayMap Pro.

Bring your data from the old DayMap

If you used DayMap years ago, your projects and tasks can come across. Open Settings and look for "Coming from DayMap 2?". DayMap shows you exactly what it will bring before it does anything, tells you what it cannot bring, and saves a backup of your current data first. Importing the same file twice will not make copies.

Type the day into the task

End a task with a day and DayMap schedules it there. "Email Tom back on Tuesday" becomes a task called "Email Tom back", on Tuesday. Times work too. A day only counts when it is the last thing you typed - so "Meet with Tuesday Weld" stays exactly as you wrote it.

Freezes when checking a task off

DayMap could stop responding when you checked a task off, and could then fail to reopen afterwards. Two separate causes, both fixed.

One task, one calendar event

If you sync to Apple Calendar and use more than one device, a single task could appear two or three times - once per device. The extra copies clear themselves up as each device catches up.

Waypoint keeps what you wrote

Writing a Waypoint on two devices on the same day could leave each device showing only its own copy, which looked like your writing had disappeared. Nothing was lost, and both pieces now come together into one entry.

Waypoint is easier to reach on iPhone, and Return starts a new line in an answer instead of finishing it.

Undo puts everything back

Deleting a task and undoing could return it without its Daily Bearing rank, its place in the day, its repeat interval or its deadline. It now comes back whole.

Dragging a task onto a day, or taking one off, can now be undone with Command-Z. Removing a single day of a repeating task in Month view no longer takes the whole series off the calendar.

Also fixed

A blue line could stick above a task on the calendar and stay there.

Switching areas is one click: clicking an area switches to it rather than adding it to the one you were already looking at. To see several at once, Command-click on a Mac or use "Show Several".

Changing a project's area is where you would look for it, near the top of Get Info rather than below the colors.

If you have been sent a code, there is now a Redeem a Code button on the upgrade screen.

Bring your data from the old DayMap

If you used DayMap years ago, your projects and tasks can come across. Open Settings and look for "Coming from DayMap 2?". DayMap shows you exactly what it will bring before it does anything, tells you what it cannot bring, and saves a backup of your current data first. Importing the same file twice will not make copies.

Type the day into the task

End a task with a day and DayMap schedules it there. "Email Tom back on Tuesday" becomes a task called "Email Tom back", on Tuesday. Times work too. Quick Add shows you what it understood before you press Return, and a day only counts when it is the last thing you typed - so "Meet with Tuesday Weld" stays exactly as you wrote it.

Undo on the calendar

Dragging a task onto a day, or taking one off, can now be undone with Command-Z - and it comes back with its day, its time and its Daily Bearing. Removing a single day of a repeating task in Month view no longer takes the whole series off the calendar.

Switching areas is one click

Clicking an area switches to it, rather than adding it to the one you were already looking at. To see several at once, Command-click on a Mac or use "Show Several", which is also how it works on iPhone.

Dragging tasks is fast again

Moving a task to another day could make DayMap stop responding, especially with a lot of tasks. It was doing far more work than it needed to every time you dropped one. Nothing was ever lost - the move was always saved before the app stalled - but it should now stay responsive however much you drag.

Calendar switches explain themselves

The two calendar options could switch themselves back off without saying why. Three different things cause that, and DayMap now tells you which one, with a button that takes you to the right place in System Settings.

Repeat every few weeks, months, or years

Monthly and Yearly were the only choices, with nothing between them. Now a repeating task can be every 3 weeks, every 6 months, every 2 years - whatever you need. Asked for by a customer whose task comes round twice a year.

Contexts are now Areas

A context is where you can do something. What DayMap groups your projects into is a domain of responsibility - Work, Family, Home - which is an area, and now it says so. Nothing moved; your projects are filed exactly where they were.

You can also show several areas at once. Tick Work and Home and both appear together, instead of choosing one and losing sight of the other.

Keep the Inbox in view

On a Mac, the Inbox can now hold its place while the rest of the board scrolls, so it stays reachable when you have a lot of projects. It's in the Inbox column's menu.

Add subtasks on iPhone

Long-press a task to add one. Subtasks could be seen and rearranged on iPhone but not created - now they can.

Fixed

- On a Mac, the add-subtask button on a task row no longer shifts the row as your pointer moves down a column.

Arrange your day anywhere

You could always drag tasks into the order you meant to work them, but only in one place. Now you can do it wherever you see a day: the Upcoming list, Focus, and on your iPhone. On a Mac you can also move a task with Option-Up and Option-Down, no dragging at all. On iPhone, tap Arrange on the Day view.

Dictation speaks your language

Voice capture listened in English no matter what you spoke. It now follows your system language, and Settings lets you pick a different one.

Long task names are readable

A task name longer than its column used to be cut off with no way to read the rest without opening the task. Titles and note previews now show two lines.

Fixed

- The upgrade screen's buttons only responded to clicks landing exactly on the text. The whole row works now. If you tried to buy DayMap Pro on a Mac and nothing happened, this was why, and we're sorry. - The "Clear" button beside a task's date is now called "Unschedule" - which is what it always did. To remove just the time, switch off "Set a specific time"; the day and the bearing stay put. - If you don't keep your calendar in Calendar, tapping an event no longer has to open it. Settings > Calendar Events > "Clicking an event". - A purchase that needs approval, or that can't be verified, now tells you instead of looking like nothing happened. - Shift-Command-K now actually shows and hides calendar events.

New keyboard shortcuts

- Shift-Command-E collapses or expands the project you're working in. - Shift-Command-K shows and hides calendar events.

Right-click a task on the calendar or in Focus and the menu now names the project it belongs to.

What's new in this version:

This update includes everything from 1.9, which wasn't released.

• Fixed being unable to change a task's time — it reverted to the time it was first given. This affected reminders too, and we're sorry: it was introduced in version 1.6. • Fixed iCloud sync not starting after you subscribe. DayMap connects to iCloud when it opens, so it now tells you to reopen it rather than leaving you to work that out. • Fixed sync switching itself off after a subscription check that couldn't reach the App Store. • Settings now tells you when iCloud sync isn't working, instead of always reporting that it is — and says what to do about it. • Fixed Restore Purchases missing on the Mac when DayMap Pro was already active. • Undo now works after you check a task off — including undoing a parent without un-checking subtasks you had already finished. • Completing a task is faster, especially on a busy week, and ticking several off in a row no longer stalls. • Fixed double-clicking a task not opening it on a Mac trackpad.

What's new in this version:

• Repeating tasks now show that they repeat, and how — "Weekly — Tue, Wed, Thu" — right in the Project Planner. They also stay put when you hide completed tasks, instead of disappearing. • Deleting a repeating task now asks what you meant: skip a single day, stop it from a day onward, or remove it altogether. • Fixed hiding completed tasks removing every occurrence of a repeating task from the calendar, not just the ones you'd finished. • Fixed being unable to undo a task deleted from its detail view. • Send a Copy of a project as text or PDF — now on iPhone as well as Mac. • Mac: choose how large the Task Scheduler draws its text — Compact, Default or Large — in Preferences. iPhone and iPad follow your system text size.

What's new in this version:

• Fixed renaming a project being lost if you clicked away instead of pressing Return. The new name is now kept either way, and Escape cancels. • Contexts that shared a name are now merged into one, and creating a context that already exists reuses it. Your projects keep their grouping. • You can now change a context's color — click or tap its color dot in Settings. Before, the color was assigned when the context was created and couldn't be changed. • Settings now tells you plainly when calendar sync or reminders have stopped because DayMap Pro ended, instead of leaving you to work it out. • Groundwork for sharing projects with other people, which is what we're building toward.

What's new in this version:

• Fixed a reminder continuing to arrive at a task's old time after you changed it. • Fixed a stray blue line that could stick to the Project Planner after dragging a project column. • Settings now tells you what your work is being recorded as, and lets you set a name for it.

What's new in this version:

• Repeating tasks no longer run out. DayMap works out a repeat's dates as it draws each day, so a repeating task keeps going as far ahead as you care to look — it used to stop about six months out. • A monthly task set for the 31st stays on the 31st. It used to drift to the 28th after the first February and never recover. Yearly tasks on 29 February are fixed the same way. • Mac: ⌘⇧T brings overdue work to today, and ⌘Z puts it all back if you change your mind. A column's menu does the same for a single project. • Waypoint explains itself now. Every question carries a note on what it's for, and so does the pane. • Reminders that won't switch on say why, and offer a button to the setting that fixes it. • Dragging tasks and arranging a day stay fast however much history you've built up, and the Watch loads only the day it's showing. • DayMap now runs on macOS 14 Sonoma. It asked for macOS 15 before, which ruled out a lot of Macs that are otherwise more than capable of running it. • Fixed the iPhone and iPad widget being impossible to add. It had been built asking for a far newer version of iOS than the app itself.

What's new in this version:

• Waypoint — a new end-of-day panel for marking where you are. A few questions, a couple of minutes, no scoring, and a way to look back over what you've written. Part of DayMap Pro; turn it on in Settings. • Your preferences now follow you. The completed-tasks filter, week start, appearance and more stay in step across your Mac, iPad and iPhone. • Today has moved next to the date arrows in the Task Scheduler, where your eye already is. • Mac: make a task a subtask — or move it back out — from the Task menu or with Tab and Shift-Tab, and undo it if you change your mind. • Fixed stray lines appearing between tasks in the Project Planner.
