Release 2.77

πŸ›‘οΈ Stability, Speed & Polish

A focused follow-up to the Summer Release. The four big Summer Release features - Akiflow MCP, Subtasks, the Daily Dashboard, and Schedule Optimizer - have now finished their staged rollout and are available to everyone. This build builds on that with a major mobile performance and a handful of new quality-of-life touches, and more than 100 fixes across desktop and mobile.

πŸ–₯️ Desktop

New

  • Focus Timer in the command bar - Start, pause, and resume the Focus Timer straight from the command bar, without leaving your flow.

  • Custom event quick-messages - Email event guests with your own custom message alongside the presets like "running late" and "unable to attend".

  • Time range while dragging - Moving an event or time slot on the calendar now shows the exact time range it will land on, matching the feedback you already get for tasks.

  • Copy Task ID - Copy the MCP-compatible ID of any task from the task menu, ready to paste into Claude or Codex to act on that exact task.

Events & Calendar

  • Event quick-message templates are now aware of the event date, so they no longer say "today" for an event scheduled on another day.

  • Declined events by the organizer now show with strikethrough in shared MeetWith calendars.

  • Removing recurrence now behaves consistently as "this and future" across desktop and mobile.

  • Fixed a duplicate event being created after removing a guest.

  • Fixed deleting a recurring event leaving stale instances behind.

  • Restored the cancellation status indicators in the Meet With Future view.

  • Quick-message emails no longer add the sender to the To field.

Tasks

  • Fixed several crashes when scheduling tasks, time slots, and events that involved recurrence rules.

  • The shortcuts list now refreshes automatically when you edit a shortcut.

Platform & Reliability

  • Fixed the app becoming laggy and unresponsive over long sessions.

  • Fixed the text formatting toolbar getting stuck in Focus Mode on longer notes.

  • Fixed confirmation popups losing keyboard focus on Windows.

  • Fixed a set of crashes including an infinite render loop, the command bar, the notification window, and event popup edge cases.

  • Faster to load and lighter overall thanks to a smaller app bundle and re-compressed assets.

  • Added a friendly update screen for very outdated versions of the app.

  • Refreshed the Meeting Assistant icon.

  • Fixed Notion "sync now" failing.

πŸ“± Mobile

Improvements

  • A major performance overhaul makes sync faster and lighter, especially on large workspaces, and meaningfully reduces battery drain and overheating.

  • Polished the Upcoming widget with small color, cropping, and tap-target refinements.

  • Smoother modals, bottom sheets, and dismiss animations across tags, deadline, add-guest, and project dialogs.

Events & Calendar

  • Fixed the calendar showing dates one day off.

  • Tasks inside recurring and evening time slots now stay collapsed in their slot instead of spilling onto the calendar.

  • Fixed a gray cell appearing over an existing event.

  • Fixed recurring tasks jumping back to their original time after a second move.

Tasks & Chat

  • Fixed the Share Availability page getting stuck on loading.

  • Fixed Aki chat occasionally showing a "connection not ready" error when opening.

  • Aki chat is now correctly disabled when Aki is turned off in settings.

  • Expired chats older than 30 days no longer linger in the chat list.

Platform & Reliability

  • A large stability push resolved a wide range of crashes, freezes, and background ANRs, including sync hangs, out-of-memory crashes, main-thread hangs on large task lists, and background sync timeouts.

  • Fixed users being unexpectedly logged out.

  • Live Activity for Daily Dashboard view now updates reliably in the background.

  • Lower background CPU and battery usage from the widget and Live Activity rework.

πŸ”§ Backend & MCP

  • Improved MCP task planning accuracy, including "this week" and "next week" buckets, someday tasks, link handling, and task titles.

  • Fixed Zapier task creation failing with a server error.

  • Fixed a shared Outlook sub-calendar not being accessible in MeetWith.

  • Improved Aki chat reliability by fixing channel-creation failures.
