Changelog
What changed, and when.
Small, honest releases. Features get added slowly and removed often — a shorter list is a feature. Every notable change lands here.
0.22.0
2026 · AUG 2Create an account, sign in, recover your password and manage billing from a focused Account Center that matches the app and website.
Account and lifetime-purchase entry points now appear where you need them: the website navigation, pricing page and macOS Settings.
Registration now confirms passwords, explains the minimum requirement and makes keyboard focus unmistakable.
Opening the Account Center while signed out no longer flashes a misleading server error before showing sign-in.
0.21.0
2026 · AUG 2Compare the day you planned with the work that actually happened, while keeping the remaining plan visible as the day unfolds.
Review, select, copy, merge and turn notes into fully described tasks, with shortcuts you can choose for Quick Capture and View Notes.
Finishing early now follows the current work stretch, preserves deliberate gaps and gives the current task an outcome before asking whether the rest of the day needs adjusting.
Timeline history, shutdown figures and deep-work insights now use actual executions; account, billing and support tools run behind separate security boundaries.
English and Vietnamese copy is clearer and more consistent across the app.
Replanning snaps remaining work to the current time without hiding or overlapping newly created tasks.
Closed timelines no longer accept edits or hidden drag-and-drop mutations, and short actual executions remain readable without overlapping each other.
Notes shortcuts, Undo, full-screen window controls and transition panels are more reliable.
0.20.0
2026 · JUL 28Planning's ⋯ button is now MENU, and every destination in it shows the keys that get there. Use it with the mouse for a week and you stop needing it.
Weekly Goals has its own button in the toolbar, beside the day being planned against it.
The two top-bar links that bounced between Settings and Focus Profiles are gone, and Weekly Review has left the menu — it still appears when it's actually due.
The finish-early wheel in Settings waits for a click before it takes a scroll, so scrolling past it moves the page instead of quietly changing the setting.
Settings is ordered around what you're configuring: your work first, then the app and the system. Focus Profiles has a row of its own.
The Planning screen no longer flashes past on the way somewhere else — before onboarding on a first sign-in, before a resumed focus block, or before the catch-up prompt.
0.19.0
2026 · JUL 28Onboarding now sets language and theme together, explains why browser protection and system permissions matter, and confirms the capture and notes shortcuts through a hands-on keyboard exercise.
Automatic screen tours no longer interrupt navigation, dim an unexpected destination, or force a prescribed path through a screen.
Planning keeps a dismissible action checklist, while Notes, Focus Profiles, weekly rituals, and shutdown screens now explain the next useful action in context. The App Guide is split into four short, optional topics.
Browser Guard permission detection now keeps observing until macOS reports the real state, System theme applies immediately during onboarding, and window traffic lights stay anchored through view changes.
0.18.0
2026 · JUL 23The brand book page is gone from the site. The identity it documented now lives in the app itself.
The mark is redrawn — a tighter, square tally — and the wordmark and lockup follow it, so sign-in, onboarding, and the menu bar panel all carry the same signature.
New app icon: the tally as five stacked cards, with separate light and dark builds for the Dock.
The menu bar icon is redrawn in the new mark. It still shows exactly one bit of state — idle, or in a block.
The browser extension's icon, popup, and blocked page now carry the same mark as the app.
0.17.0
2026 · JUL 22Planning, sessions, Settings, empty states, and dialogs now share a more consistent native hierarchy: consistent actions, restrained motion, clearer focus, and controls that respect Reduce Motion.
The privacy surface now documents the app's complete anonymous telemetry payload: a random install identifier, app version, and install or daily-active kind — never account data or work content.
Window traffic lights no longer drift after view changes, and the command palette keeps its labels, shortcuts, and search results in the language selected inside Conberate.
The website now matches the shipped app on one-hour starting capacity, in-app JSON export and deletion, Apple sign-in, and how unstarted scheduled work returns to the backlog.
0.16.0
2026 · JUL 22The first Planning guide now teaches the loop through real actions — add a task, place it, then finish building a realistic day — without pushing you to start after a single block.
Settings now groups related controls more clearly, aligns actions of the same level, and keeps dangerous account and data actions visually quieter until you intentionally approach them.
Scheduled tasks that never entered a focus session return to the backlog automatically, even when catch-up closing is skipped, and can no longer be marked complete as if they were worked.
Password login failures no longer masquerade as an expired session. People who first signed in with Google or Apple are now guided to create a password through the private reset flow, in the app's chosen language.
0.15.0
2026 · JUL 22Account controls now include a portable JSON export and permanent account deletion. Deletion revokes active sessions first, then removes synced records and sign-in identities together.
Recovery backups are visible in Settings. Preserved local files can be inspected in Finder or restored atomically, while the current file is kept as another recovery point.
Local storage, session recovery, sync retries, browser blocking, Keychain access, and update presentation now share privacy-safe diagnostics and deterministic failure policies instead of failing silently.
Malformed, future-version, and interrupted local data no longer risk being overwritten unnoticed; migration and recovery paths are covered by production-readiness fixtures and CI gates.
0.14.0
2026 · JUL 20Vietnamese now reaches the whole working day — onboarding, planning tours, task forms, settings, focus panels, session controls, lock screens, reports, status badges, and command search — rather than stopping at the main screen.
Creating and editing a task keeps focus profiles beside the task itself, with a keyboard-first form, cleaner explanations, consistent scrollbars, and enough room for Vietnamese to breathe.
Planning opens with the quieter timeline overview. Detail view now shows each block's focus profiles, while spacing, drag cursors, click targets, and selection behavior feel consistent across the backlog and timeline.
Reports, Focus Profiles, Settings, onboarding, and dense dialogs have been rebalanced around readable body type, steadier spacing, equal-height summaries, and just-in-time info popovers instead of walls of explanation.
Automatic update notices now wait until Planning is truly on screen — never language selection, sign-in, onboarding, or an active ritual — and a check is no longer missed when you arrive there after signing in.
Task cards open reliably with one click, dragging keeps the correct cursor without a stray preview badge, and text editors no longer show misleading scrollbars when there is nowhere to scroll.
0.13.0
2026 · JUL 20The first run no longer asks you to estimate your focus capacity, configure the week, grant permissions, install an extension, and learn shortcuts before you've planned a day. Set your work hours and start; the rest appears when it becomes useful.
Focus capacity now begins at a conservative one hour and learns from the sessions you actually sustain. Existing capacity is left untouched, so the new starting point helps new plans without rewriting yours.
Planning now explains deep and shallow work with concrete examples, makes the estimate buffer visible, and moves less-used weekly controls out of the main toolbar — fewer controls to decode before you can begin.
Transitions and shutdown now say exactly what is happening: whether the task finished, what to leave for next time, and which of the two closing steps you're in. The closed-day escape also returns to planning instead of promising you'll keep working.
Reports open with what the available history can honestly tell you, rather than presenting every number like a quota. Motion throughout the app now respects the system Reduce Motion setting, too.
0.12.0
2026 · JUL 20A Day Score that climbs from zero as you work, instead of a Focus Score that started at 100 and only fell. It blends how much you finished, how it felt, and how much real deep work you sustained against your capacity — a number you earn through the day, not one you're handed and lose.
The report can tell you whether the reset lock before a deep block actually pays off — it compares how your locked deep blocks rate against your unlocked ones, once there's enough history for the comparison to mean something.
Deep work is measured by the focused time you actually sustain now — a few minutes of ramp-up trimmed off, and capped so grinding past two hours, or leaving the timer running while you step away, can't inflate it. Your capacity, your report heatmap, and your weekly numbers all follow real time instead of the plan.
The reset lock between blocks is sized by what actually tires you: after a deep block it scales with the real time you spent, from ten up to thirty minutes; after a run of shallow tasks it grows with how many you stacked, not the raw minutes.
Pushing the rest of a task to later mid-session now still walks you through the handoff note and the reset lock before your next deep block — the exact moment a dropped task leaves the most behind.
Your focus capacity starts conservative and is earned upward from real sessions, so an ambitious first pick on day one can't quietly over-schedule your whole first week.
0.11.2
2026 · JUL 18Update notifications now appear the moment you're back on the planning screen — never during a focus block, the lock, or the shutdown, transition, and re-plan rituals, where a restart would interrupt. You can still check manually from Settings any time.
0.11.1
2026 · JUL 18The finish-early threshold in Settings is a scroll wheel now — spin from Off up to four hours, instead of stepping through it one tap at a time.
0.11.0
2026 · JUL 18The time-picker wheels click. Each number lands with a small detent, so setting an exact hour feels like turning a dial instead of sliding a blank.
The extension reconnects the instant you touch the browser, so Conberate recognizes it in seconds rather than up to a minute. Update the extension to 1.1.0 from the Chrome Web Store to get it.
Conberate checks for updates on its own now and tells you when one is ready — you no longer have to remember to look in Settings.
Signing in with Google no longer opens a second, empty Conberate window. The redirect back from your browser now lands in the window you already have.
The browser-extension status is honest again. It no longer puts one browser's state onto another — Chrome, Dia, and the rest each report for themselves — and a browser you actually removed the extension from now says so, instead of pretending it's still connected.
Settings showed a frozen version line that never matched the app. It now shows the version you're actually on.
0.10.0
2026 · JUL 14Re-plan without leaving the block. Finish early, or watch the day slip, and a small floating panel lets you re-order what's left, pull a task up from the backlog, or send a block back — the main window never opens, so you don't lose the focus you were in.
Finishing early is a choice, not a slip. Close the last block with real daylight left and Conberate asks it plainly — add another block, or close the day? — instead of quietly scheduling filler. How much time counts as “early” is yours to set in Settings › Rhythm.
See one week ahead. You can capture tasks and set goals for next week, while the timeline still only takes blocks for the week you're in — a future week is there to look at, and you commit to it when it arrives.
A shelf for next week's work. A task tied to a next-week goal waits in its own reserved section of the backlog instead of crowding today, and moves itself back into play the moment the week turns.
Close a day you left open. An earlier day with unfinished blocks now marks itself and offers a single click to close it out — a skipped day is never a dead end.
The weekly review only appears when the week actually had goals to review. An empty week closes without the ritual.
0.9.0
2026 · JUL 13Browser Guard. Grant Accessibility and, during a focus block, the moment you open your browser's extensions page Conberate hides the browser — so the blocker can't be quietly switched off mid-session. Optional, but it's the difference between a lock and a suggestion.
Signing in with Google now opens your default browser, where you're already signed in — no more separate Safari window asking you to log in from scratch.
Quitting Conberate during a focus block now backs it into the menu bar instead of quitting outright — closing the app was an easy way to end blocking early.
Every Chromium browser is detected reliably now — Dia and the rest report as connected the moment their extension is live. A closed browser keeps its last-known state instead of nagging that its extension is missing.
0.8.0
2026 · JUL 12Website blocking now runs entirely through the browser extension, so the Browser Automation permission is gone — one less thing to grant, and one less way for blocking to half-work. Install the extension in the Chromium browsers you use; Safari and Firefox aren't covered yet.
Permissions in setup no longer disappear once granted. They collapse to a line you can reopen, so you can always see what's on.
Every Chromium browser is recognized now — Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, Dia and more. A browser you actually use no longer goes unseen when you set up blocking.
The extension's install button opened your default browser instead of the one whose row you pressed, and only ever reached the store's front page. It now opens the right browser, straight to the Conberate listing.
0.7.1
2026 · JUL 120.7.0 wouldn't open on a clean install — it quit the instant you launched it, behind a system dialog that blamed compatibility. The real cause was the new auto-updater being turned away at startup. It loads now, and the app opens.
0.7.0
2026 · JUL 11Conberate updates itself. When there's a newer version it offers to install it in place and relaunch — no more deleting the app, downloading a fresh disk image, and dragging it over the old one. This one update is still manual; every one after it is a single click. It's verified by its own signature, so it works today, un-notarized, and won't change once it is.
The app reported its version as "1.0" no matter which build you were running. It now shows the release you're actually on.
0.6.0
2026 · JUL 11Choose your language. English or Tiếng Việt, picked on first launch and switchable any time in Settings — the whole app follows.
The permissions blocking depends on — Browser Automation and Notifications — now have a home outside setup: a reminder on the planning bar, and a Settings section to grant, re-check, or (behind a clear confirmation) quiet.
Calendar and Reminders import. Pulling an outside feed onto your day quietly filled it with things you never chose — the opposite of a deliberate plan. Every block is yours now, entered on purpose. A shorter list is the feature.
The permissions step only asks for what's still missing. Anything already granted simply isn't shown.
0.5.0
2026 · JUL 11The website blocker is live on the Chrome Web Store. Install it once and the app finds it on its own — it detects which browsers have it and drives the block, with no separate host to set up by hand.
Forgot your password? The sign-in screen mails a one-time link. Opening it resets the password, confirms your email, and signs out any device you no longer hold.
0.4.0
2026 · JUL 09Focus capacity is now learned, not guessed: a smoothed estimate of the deep hours you sustain, reported with a confidence band and the number of days behind it.
A warning when a single deep block runs past 90 minutes without a break, and a nudge when every deep block you've planned sits in your chronotype's weak half of the day.
Onboarding ends with the two shortcuts under your own fingers — the step only passes when you actually press the keys.
Light and dark now resolve from one set of tokens, so every surface, border, and block fill has a principled counterpart in both themes.
Block minimums live in exactly one place. Every explanation in the app derives its numbers from it instead of restating them.
0.3.0
2026 · JUL 07The report: a 16-week heatmap, the last seven days in detail, and insights that stay silent until they have the samples to speak.
A focus score with its formula printed beside it. Deep blocks under 45 minutes earn no depth credit, so the score can't teach you to fragment the day.
A one-tap rating after each deep block, asked while the work is still warm rather than reconstructed at midnight.
Estimate calibration: once you've timed enough blocks, the task form tells you how your estimates actually run. It never edits them for you.
Shutting down after midnight closed the wrong day. The whole ritual now anchors to the day you actually worked.
0.2.0
2026 · JUL 05Accounts, and sync that survives a bad connection: every change is written locally first and reconciled in the background.
Data export. It didn't survive the move to sync and hasn't been rebuilt yet. Ask and I'll send you your data.
Sign-in is now required. The trade is deliberate — your days follow you to another signed-in device, and they exist somewhere other than one disk.
0.1.0
2026 · JUL 02The planning ritual on a single screen: backlog, timeline, and the week beside it.
Menu-bar presence during a block, carrying the time remaining and whether the work is deep or shallow — and nothing else.
Focus profiles: name a set of sites and apps, attach it to a block, and they close when the block starts.
Quick capture on ⌥Space. A thought never has to cost you the block it interrupted.
The shutdown ritual, ending in a closed day that can't be quietly edited afterwards.
The weekly streak counter. It was a debt disguised as encouragement.
