A set of smaller changes across tasks, habits, notes and the sidebar.

• Dates and times in a task's name. Type "Call Ana tomorrow 3pm-5pm" and it saves as "Call Ana", due tomorrow, from 3pm to 5pm. The words Heym read as a date stay highlighted while you type, and clicking one deletes those words and the date with them.
• Length without a start time. How long a task takes and when it starts are set separately, so a task can be 45 minutes long with no time of day on it, and clearing one leaves the other in place.
• Time zones. A time typed into a task moves with you unless you set a time zone on it. Set one to Berlin and Heym shows it on your own clock, marks it overdue at the Berlin time, and files it under Morning, Afternoon or Evening in Today to match. A block drawn straight onto the calendar keeps the zone you drew it in.
• Grouped by life area. Goals, Habits and Notes now open grouped by life area. If you have already chosen a different grouping on one of those pages, Heym keeps it.
• Markdown paste. Paste plain markdown into a note, a task description or a project's Overview and it keeps its formatting: three levels of heading, bulleted and numbered lists, checkboxes, quotes, code blocks, dividers and links.
• A daily limit for habits. A habit you tick off a set number of times per week, month or year can also limit how many of those ticks count in one day, so "6× per week" with a limit of one needs six different days.
• Collapsed sidebar sections. My Life, Favourites and Shared stay collapsed or open the way you left them, every time you open Heym and on any computer you sign in to.
• Underline. Underline joins bold, italic and strikethrough in the formatting toolbar, with ⌘ U as its shortcut, and underlined text is still underlined when you reopen the note.
• Pixel art covers. Choose a cover for a life area and the Gallery now has a Pixel art section: twelve illustrated landscapes, one for every life area colour.

After a fortnight the Inbox is one long list with the newest thing on top, and Today is split by time of day. Finding your high priority tasks in either one, or everything with one label, meant reading the whole list.

Both now have a View settings button in the header. Inbox sorts by Manual, Priority, Created or Name, and Today adds Date. Choosing the same sort again reverses it, and an arrow shows the direction. Inbox groups by Priority or Label; Today groups by Goal, Life Area, Priority, Label or Time of Day. A life area or goal group is headed by that area's or goal's own coloured icon, and any group folds shut.

Tasks can be dragged from one group into another. Dropped under a different life area or goal, a task moves there and loses whatever it was aligned to before; dropped under a label it takes that label, and under Morning it starts at nine, for an hour. A task added inside a group already belongs to it.

Sorting and grouping are saved to your account and apply on every device you use.

Not everything you keep in Heym is only yours. A house move, the family budget, a training plan somebody else wrote for you. Getting another person near any of it meant reading the list out to them, or keeping a second copy somewhere you could both reach.

You can now invite people by email to a life area, a goal or a project. An invitation carries one of two levels, Can edit or Can view, and applies to everything inside: the tasks, notes, sub-goals and projects underneath it. Nothing is shared until it is accepted, and an invitation sent to an address with no Heym account waits until they sign up.

A Shared section appears in the sidebar, holding pending invitations, the items you have accepted, and what you have sent out. Edits from the other side arrive within about a minute, without reloading the page.

Anything a collaborator creates inside a shared item belongs to its owner, so it stays put when they leave. Nobody you invite can delete the thing they were invited to: their option is Remove from my list, which changes nothing for anybody else. In trash, anything they deleted is labelled with their name.

Open the ⋯ menu on any life area, goal or project and choose Share. Sharing comes with a paid plan.

Pressing ⌘ K, or Ctrl K on Windows and Linux, used to list your whole account before you had typed a character. It now shows only what you can do: Create, and Go to with every main page under it. Start typing and Quick results appears above them, searching tasks, goals, projects, notes, habits, labels and life areas together in one list. Create task stays there whatever you type, so a search that finds nothing still offers Create task "renew the passport".

Select several tasks and ⌘ K opens on that selection. The menu leads with what you can do to all of them: set priority, change labels, set a date, set an alignment, mark complete, delete. Priority, date and alignment write every task at once and leave an Undo that puts each one back. Change labels stays open for several changes, ticking a label that is on all of the tasks and dashing one that is on only some.

Every place in Go to has a two-key shortcut printed beside it: G then I for Inbox, G then T for Today, G then R for Projects. They stand down while you are typing.

Press ? for the full list. It now covers writing too: everything you can press inside a note or a task description, and every markdown shortcut that converts as you type.

A list of tasks could only be narrowed one way at a time. The Tags page showed a single tag and the Completed page showed everything finished. Which work tasks are due this week and not labelled waiting had no answer short of reading the whole list.

Views are named, saved task lists. A view filters on labels, life areas, goals, priority and date, and keeps its own sorting and grouping beside those filters. Views sits in the sidebar below Upcoming; a view can be favourited, and its link opens it directly.

Each filter is one line: what you are filtering on, how, and what to match. The same thing can be filtered more than once, so one line can require a label while the next rules a different one out. Ruling things out is new. A label, area, goal or priority line reads is or is not, and is any of or is none of once you pick several values. Date lines compare before, after or on, against something moving like three days from now, or a date you pick.

Completion is a filter now rather than a display setting, so a view can hold finished tasks only. A task created inside a view is given the values that view filters for, so it doesn't vanish the moment you add it.

Labels moved here too, and Completed is now a built-in view. The Tags page and the Completed page no longer exist. Saved views are part of the paid plans.

Some work is bigger than a task and smaller than a goal. A website redesign or a house move has a deadline, a dozen moving parts and an order to them. That work had to sit as a goal with a flat list of tasks beneath it, or as a single task whose description slowly absorbed everything it depended on.

Projects are a layer between goals and tasks. A project holds its own tasks, carries a start date and a deadline, tracks progress as those tasks are completed, and aligns to one life area or goal. Projects sit under My Life in the sidebar, where they can be reordered, favourited and marked complete.

Each project's Tasks tab has a list layout and a board layout, and keeps whichever was used last. Tasks can be divided into named sections that act as list groups or as board columns. Dragging a card onto the Completed column checks the task off, and columns can be renamed, reordered and collapsed to a narrow strip.

The Overview tab holds a document for the project's context, in the same editor as notes, and a list of milestones: named checkpoints with an optional target date, kept separate from the task list.

An existing task can be moved into a project from its alignment picker, and a goal's detail page lists every project aligned to it. Unlimited projects are available on the paid plans.

We introduced a new activity chart widget for your home view. The activity chart plots every task you complete across the last 52 weeks as a heatmap, with busier days running darker. Open the home view to see the whole year in one grid.

Working in a browser tab means Heym competes with everything else you have open, and a reload can drop you back to the start. Heym is now a native Mac app in its own window, with the menu bar and dock presence you'd expect from a desktop app.

It brings tabs to Heym: open a goal in one, your week in another, and today's tasks in a third, each with its own back-and-forward history. Reorder them, switch between them, and keep a few corners of Heym open side by side. The app signs in with the same account and syncs the same data as the web, so you can move between Mac and browser without losing your place. Download it for macOS at heym.app.

A set of smaller changes across notes, tasks, and lists.

Reaching for the mouse to do something fifty times a day adds up. Heym now drives from the keyboard.

Press ⌘K to open the command palette: search across everything and jump straight to any task, goal, area, or page. In a list, move with the arrow keys (or J and K), press X to pick rows and Shift with the arrows to extend a range, then act on the whole selection at once — complete, move, tag, or delete. Press ? at any time to see every shortcut Heym knows.
