A short, honest changelog of what actually shipped. Items are grouped by month, newest first, and only cover changes you can see in the app.
August 2026
The app moved to todowl.com
The product used to live on mindtracker.app. It now runs on three addresses: todowl.com for the website, app.todowl.com for the app itself, and this help centre on help.todowl.com. Old links redirect, so nothing you bookmarked is lost.
Task panel rebuilt as a resizable column
Opening a task no longer covers the list. The detail panel is a column you can drag wider or narrower, and it keeps that width. Inside it the description editor gained real formatting: headings, bullet and numbered lists, checklists, quotes, inline code, links, dividers and images you can resize, download or open full screen.
Won’t do, next to done
A task can now be closed as “won’t do” rather than completed. It leaves your open lists the same way a finished task does, but it is drawn with a cross instead of a tick, so a review of the week tells the truth about what actually happened.
Trash and archive
Deleting a project, a list or a task now moves it to the trash, where it sits for 30 days and can be restored, along with the children it took with it. The archive is the other half of the pair: it holds things you want out of the way with no countdown at all. Both have their own screens in the sidebar.
Birthdays, and the sidebar now says “Connect”
Connected calendars gained a source: birthdays, either from Connect Google Contacts (a separate permission from Google Calendar) or from an uploaded .vcf contacts file, which also reads birthdays saved without a year. Because ToDowl has not been through Google’s app verification yet, connecting Google Contacts shows an unverified-app warning first; Advanced, then Go to ToDowl, then Allow gets you through it. Birthdays connect and stay in sync today; showing them on the calendar grid is still on the way.
At the same time, the wording around outside calendars changed to match: the sidebar group that used to say “Subscribed calendars” now reads Connected calendars, and the buttons read Connect and Disconnect instead of “Subscribe” and “Unsubscribe.” Nothing about how the feature works changed, only the words.
Read-only events from outside ToDowl
The calendar can pull in read-only events from outside ToDowl. Three sources work today: public holidays for a country you pick, any iCal (.ics) URL, and now birthdays. They appear as their own group in the calendar sidebar, in their own colour, and you can switch each one off without disconnecting it.
Recurring events understand a series
Moving one occurrence of a repeating event now asks what you meant: just this one, this weekday across the series, or everything from here on. If the series has per-weekday time overrides, it warns you before resetting them.
New sign-in screen
Sign-in was rebuilt around a guided product tour, so a first-time visitor can see what the app looks like before creating anything. Google and Apple buttons sit at the top, with a passwordless email link and a normal password form underneath. Buttons for providers the server has not been given credentials for are disabled with an explanation instead of failing after the click.
Priority colours everywhere
Priority is now one colour language across the whole app. The checkbox, the card stripe, the flag and the list group header all read from the same source, so a high priority task looks the same wherever you meet it.
Earlier
The calendar itself predates this list.
