Over the past year, I’ve been working on updating the app guided by requests and feedbacks received from users. I essentially rewrote the app from the ground up, and I’m glad to say that the new version is almost ready for release. Some of the improvements I’ve made include but are not limited to:

• Adding instant sync across devices
  
• Updating to google’s Material 3 design
• Adding option to use Material you theming for eligible devices
  
• Adding the ability to drag and drop tasks between quadrants
• Adding the ability to manually sort tasks
• Adding auto-advance (moves tasks across quadrants based on their due date)
• Adding the ability to change quadrants while a task is being added or updated
• Adding more customization options to widgets
• Adding the ability to change widget colors and customization after it has been added
• Adding the option to add a tile to the drop down settings which you can use to add tasks from anywhere in addition to the already existing quick add from notification.
• Adding the option to show time in either the 12hr or 24hr format
  
• Adding the option to show due dates using actual date or relative date.
  
• Adding an in-app language picker (change app language regardless of system language)
• Adding compatibility for android’s new per-app language picker through system settings (Android 13+)
• Adding the ability to choose a due date without having  to choose due time per popular request
• Adding the ability to add attachment (limited to pictures for now, will expand to other file types in the future)
• Improving how recurring tasks are handled.
• Adding choices of launcher icons

I am truly excited for to get this new version in your hands. However, In order to keep the app alive and updated for the long term, as well as pay for server costs for syncing tasks, I have decided to switch to a subscription model. Which means that instead of showing ads with the option to remove them as the app is now, there will be no ads but some features of the app will be accessible to premium paying users only. 

If you already paid to remove ads, you will not be losing any of the features the current app has for you. A few of the newer features like auto-advance and attachments will not be available without being a premium user though.

My hope is that this pricing model will make it sustainable for me to keep working on 4.Do into the future. Again thank you for being a user, and I look forward to continuing to help you be more productive.

If you would like to try the updated version of 4.Do ahead of its release, you can join the beta here: Beta
