<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The first beta for JournalBear 5.0, the first version after the rebranding, is now up for download!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As mentioned in earlier posts, this version is more responsive and supports encryption. I will continue to build upon this version after user feedback. This version is cross-platform, so it'll work on all major operating systems.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">You can download the software for your operating system <a href="https://1drv.ms/f/s!AiFT_8UzfVHdmS3qtUNESnAf3xaJ">from this link</a>. While writing this post, only the Windows and Linux versions support 32-bit systems, and among Linux, only Debian-based distros, like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Elementary OS are supported.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Please do note that the app is still in its primitive stages--while I don't expect major bugs, there may be minor hiccups. The versions released so far don't have the JournalBear icon shown in the previous post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Do share your feedback and any bug reports so that the software may be improved in future versions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's been a long wait, and after multiple UI changes and tests, I'm finally done with the first beta of JournalBear 5.0! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">As promised, this will be cross-platform, meaning it'll run on Windows, Mac, and Linux, both 32 and 64-bit, but it's restricted to Debian-based systems for now, which includes Debian, Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Elementary OS.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Apart from the features you're used to from the previous version, Productivity 4.0, the new version uses AES-256 encryption, and makes it mandatory, so you'll have to use a strong password to encrypt your journal. After that, no unauthorized person will be able to look at your entries without the right password. The new version also lets you search by date. Entries can now also be styled, using either HTML or Markdown, both of which are easy to use. If you're comfortable with HTML, feel free to use a separate <style> tag for all your CSS. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">While we're on the topic of being new, there's also a new temporary logo!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGoto1o6JMg2cjJ2jfnApBs0Iy9ngy7p5AdVwm0nMCuel7IhBbPegkifbdX4LFho3ijd1f8hNuKQZrZgFUdxgGHZ7SIY2VfOZT75b3Y0eDMUj5z1qsn40UHF_bubwVoRimKu8wk4eDHTM/s1600/Bear-256-logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="256" data-original-width="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGoto1o6JMg2cjJ2jfnApBs0Iy9ngy7p5AdVwm0nMCuel7IhBbPegkifbdX4LFho3ijd1f8hNuKQZrZgFUdxgGHZ7SIY2VfOZT75b3Y0eDMUj5z1qsn40UHF_bubwVoRimKu8wk4eDHTM/s1600/Bear-256-logo.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I'll likely change this temporary logo, but for now, this is it.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Remember, however, that this is a beta and not stable software, so you might encounter bugs. If you do, please report them so I can fix them immediately.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The new version will release this week, and I'll post download links to versions for all operating systems. </span></div>

We're finally coming up with a newer version of the app! However, this update will only apply to Journal, and not affect the other products in Productivity.<br />
<br />
As per current plans, we intend to release Journal as a separate app on its own, but users of Productivity will also get the new update.<br />
<br />
The new Journal app is now cross-platform, which means it will run on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. We've rebuilt it from the ground-up, with a fresh new UI!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZBqcGS8Th1enuYzuMgAnsoeQR-UPMAnlnF33grtUCYknqG8LSyBx4xEXuihbtzauCsXSnL7G9H-vnf9PXDBIgjyIhu1dH4Y-uznlr30hA7mUuTiG1cCS3pplSRSAHZj7f1LozPe5iXu4/s1600/Screenshot+from+2017-06-23+18-48-21.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="802" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZBqcGS8Th1enuYzuMgAnsoeQR-UPMAnlnF33grtUCYknqG8LSyBx4xEXuihbtzauCsXSnL7G9H-vnf9PXDBIgjyIhu1dH4Y-uznlr30hA7mUuTiG1cCS3pplSRSAHZj7f1LozPe5iXu4/s400/Screenshot+from+2017-06-23+18-48-21.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />Apart from the same great features you're used to, the new version now encrypts your journal using AES-256 encryption, so you'll have to provide a password to open your journals. This keeps your private information safe.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtEvvCd_yRWMSfzK1GgW_4gdfNV19zFLwlZQYDm-pSsHAPXR5QWiXQ-Zr-Ztk7suGDptYf2nOYYq0ssh5UB6ZOpqIxJ6BQRBRaFHsMX-QS9XqEigFK87DFYMOUNd6QlcQoE6peCnT3bio/s1600/Screenshot+from+2017-06-23+18-54-03.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="802" height="310" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtEvvCd_yRWMSfzK1GgW_4gdfNV19zFLwlZQYDm-pSsHAPXR5QWiXQ-Zr-Ztk7suGDptYf2nOYYq0ssh5UB6ZOpqIxJ6BQRBRaFHsMX-QS9XqEigFK87DFYMOUNd6QlcQoE6peCnT3bio/s400/Screenshot+from+2017-06-23+18-54-03.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Among other features planned, you'll also be able to now add multiple images to each day's journal entry.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, all these new additional features do mean that we now use a newer file format (.ejournal) instead of the older .journalx. The new format allows us to store more information, like additional images and app version number in the file. This means that the app is no longer backwards compatible, so if you open a journal you created with the older Journal (which was a part of Productivity), you'll have to upgrade to the newer version. Your previous data will be retained, though, so the only difference you'll notice is that you'll now have to enter a password to open the new files.<br />
<br />
Although we don't have a release date in mind yet, our current plan is to release it later this year, though at earliest it will be out in late September. This is to improve the current UI and to test for bugs, to make sure your data is safe.<br />
<br />
The new standalone Journal app will be published to Softpedia, so those who wish to use only this app can download it for their platform once it's released.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We announced a while ago how the code published earlier on GitHub had issues including licensed third-party controls as dependencies, and other issues that would make it harder for other developers to clone and compile the code themselves.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We're glad to announce that these issues have now been resolved, and hence devs can now freely download the code and modify it to suit their needs. The code we published also includes the new features from version 4.0, which will be out shortly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's been about 3 months since we made any announcements about the app, but it's just that we're a little undermanned at the moment, so development is going slow.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But the good news is that we've been working on it quite a bit of late, and we're done with a few things that we had planned earlier.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most of the source code is now available on GitHub. It may not compile yet, and we're working to remove proprietary third-party components so that developers may work on it without hassle. We'll publish the link to the project once that's done.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We've focused on improving the Journal feature, and we have an exciting new feature for you! We call the feature "Events", and basically it helps you keep track of major events like birthdays, anniversaries and graduations in your life. When you're done writing your entry for the day, click on the Events button on the menu, and give your event a title. Every day in subsequent years from then, you'll be able to see that event when you click on the Event button. Clicking on an event will take you to that day's journal entry. Make sure you've saved the current entry before doing that though!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> In implementing this feature, however, we've had to change the format of the journal file. We've moved from the .journal extension, which was based on XML serialization, to .journalx, which is based on JSON serialization. It won't be any problem to you, though, as the app can still open the old .journal files for compatibility purposes. You can only save to the newer extension, however. The new format also produces a smaller file than the old one :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Apart from this, we've changed the UI of the app in most features. This is because we've switched to open-source alternatives for design, making it easier for other devs to collaborate. It's still very user-friendly, though, perhaps even better! Here are a few screenshots of the changed UI.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To encourage other developers to help improve the app, we've decided to open-source Productivity, meaning the source code for the app is now available for download for free. We've made a <a href="https://github.com/yrahul3910/productivity">GitHub repository</a> with the source code and we're adding chunks of the code to it regularly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The code is written entirely in Visual Basic .NET, so anyone who knows the language should find it easy to work on the code and help improve it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">To make it easier for other developers to work on it, we've removed third-party paid components and switched to free ones. We still do use other open-source third party components though, whose full source code is available on GitHub and CodeProject. Links to these source codes are given in the Readme file of the project.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what does this mean for you if you're not a developer? It simply means that although the app hasn't had many updates in quite a while, it's surely not a dead project, and we're simply reaching out to other devs to assist in the development. If you have any friends who code, you could ask them to join in as well! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We hope to see your involvement in the project to make the app even better! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We know it's been a long while since we posted anything, but we've just been a little busy. However, we do have news for you, and Productivity 3.0 will release next month. Our target date for version 3.0 is June 7, but that's tentative and may change by a few days.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime, we have been working on the app and have some great stuff lined up for you in your next update! We'll show you around.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>UI Changes</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first major change you'll notice is that we've revamped the UI of the main app and some of its features. The main window looks like this now:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new interface is more organized and grouped, making it easier to find all the features. It also has a more clean look to it. Of course, the main window isn't the only one with the change. For example, Journal looks like this:</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new Ribbon has a backstage view like the Office 2013 products.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Scheduler</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is the most exciting feature we have in this release. The new Scheduler feature is the calendar app Productivity longed to have. You can set appointments, have reminders for them, save them in iCalendar files (which are recognized by Microsoft Outlook and most calendar apps) and even print them! There are a wide range of options for printing giving you lots of flexibility. Here's the basic view of the feature.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We've added a spell-check feature to Journal, just in case you miss out on typos and regret it later. It works the same as in most other applications, so you won't have a problem using it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We've added a math feature to Nap Alarm, and you can configure it so that you have to solve math problems to dismiss the alarm. Why would you want to solve math just after a nap? That's just for those people who click on Dismiss and go back to sleep instead of waking up. You can choose from a variety of difficulties and number of problems, but they will all be addition and subtraction problems.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're finally done with the development of version 2, and now we're testing the application for bugs. Version 2 brings improvements to some features of the application, along with new features and bug fixes. Here is the complete change log for the new version:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Bug fixes: </b>Journal, CompLock, ToDo List</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>General: </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Update Check added</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nap Alarm added with Dymaxion, Uberman and Everyman sleep cycle support</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Journal:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Search added</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Attachments feature added</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Timetable Manager:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Modify details feature added</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today menu added</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Attachment feature in Journal lets you attach a picture to your journal entries, making it easier to store your memories. Only one picture per entry is allowed for now, and you can't add attachments to previously added entries.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Nap Alarm feature lets you quickly set up an alarm for a nap, up to a maximum of 40 minutes (we believe a nap shouldn't last any longer). In future versions, we'll let you customize the alarm with options like having to solve math problems to turn off the alarm. We'll also integrate the Nap Alarm feature with the Flash Cards feature, so that you can revise the flash cards you don't remember clearly - on waking up you'll have to solve the flash cards you set, which you don't remember very clearly.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As for Timetable Manager, we have plans to expand on that as well, but more on that in a future post.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're considering making Productivity an open source application, in addition to being free. This means that we will host the source code of the application on a website, and you can view and modify it as per your needs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Making the application open source has the advantage that other developers can help in identifying and fixing bugs and also give suggestions and create derivative works of the project.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We'd like your opinion on this matter about whether or not the application should go open source, and with a positive response, we'll take the required steps to do so. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Version 1.0 has been released, and is finally up for download on various download sites. This version fixes several bugs in the app, and brings a Timetable Manager feature as well. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Timetable Manager feature is best suited for students preparing for examinations who need to plan out what to study and when. Although the feature is somewhat primitive in its features currently, that will improve in future versions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can download the new version, which is 20.2 MB, from any of the following sites:</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://productivity.en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We hope you find the new version useful! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're nearly done with the development of version 1.0, and we can finally release version 1.0. This version comes with the feature which was requested by the person who gave the idea for the app (Bhavana Sanghi), a Timetable Manager, apart from quite a few bug fixes.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have, of course, received some suggestions for a few UI changes and other stuff, but we'll roll those out in the next update, since our primary goal is to get a bug-free version out first.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The new version shouldn't be a much bigger download than the previous version, so expect a download of around 22 MB or so. We'll let you know when the next version is up for download. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a pretty well-known fact that many of top company CEOs sleep pretty little. For example, Marissa Mayer recently revealed that she sleeps only 4 hours a day. For many of us, that's an impossible feat, but some of us take naps during the day, which allow for less sleep at night. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You could be following the Dymaxion, Uberman or Everyman sleep cycles, or you could simply be taking a nap when you're tired. Whatever it may be, Productivity can help you wake up with a nap timer feature that will be added. You need to simply choose how long the nap will be, and it'll wake you up. Future versions will let you set the alarm so that you'll have to solve math problems to dismiss it (for people who dismiss the alarm and go back to sleep).</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We'll inform you when the new version is up on more download sites.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It hasn't been very long since we finished developing version 0.4, and it's already up for download on FreewareFiles.com!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the complete change log for this version:</span><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bug fix in Sticky Notes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Social Blocker Feature Updated</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Help UI Changed</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">CompLock plays sound at end of break period</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Workout feature added</span></li>
</ul>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This version is portable too, and on extracting the zip file you get only 3 files this time as opposed to more in version 0.3, making it easier to use the app. Here's a screenshot of the main application window.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We've been working on the next version of Productivity, version 0.4. There's not much that's new in this version except a feature called "Wake Up", which is a series of instructions for a good morning workout.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You'll have options for a basic as well as an advanced workout, and both will last around 8 minutes. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For those starting the course newly, we strongly recommend the basic course, and when you're comfortable with it, you can switch to the advanced course.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apart from this new feature is a set of bug fixes that we discovered.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We can't say what the exact release date will be, but we'll surely let you know once it's out :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're nearly done with the development of version 0.3, which is mainly a bunch of improvements for each of the existing features. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Notes now has a new interface and you can save all your notes in a file, apart from viewing all your notes in a single window rather than multiple different ones.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">CompLock steals the spotlight in this version, with a major update. CompLock now includes "work cycles". A work cycle is basically composed of a work period where the computer is CompLocked, and a break period. You can specify the durations of the work and the break periods, and also the number of cycles. There are also preset options, which have been used by experts themselves.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Flash Cards now gives more statistics about your learning progress after each session.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We're also adding a new feature to help you with your morning exercise. The exercise given has been scientifically proven to be the most effective, and it lasts just 8 minutes :) </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Productivity 0.3 will also be fully portable, so instead of a setup file you'll simply receive a portable version of the app itself in the download, and this will cut down the download size to around 25 MB, just over half the download size of the previous version. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After quite some testing and work, version 0.2 of Productivity has
finally been released! Apart from the stuff we said we'd change in the
previous post, we've also added a Relax feature as a kind of bonus. Go
on, check it out!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The new version is available for download on <a data-mce-href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Diary-Organizers-Calendar/Productivity.shtml" href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Diary-Organizers-Calendar/Productivity.shtml" title="Softpedia">Softpedia </a>so
make sure you try it out :) We've also given a portable version of the
app in case you want to carry it on a USB drive, for instance.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br data-mce-bogus="1" /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now,
those of you who were reading between the lines might wonder what
happened to version 0.1. Well, we leave that to you to speculate on ;)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Most of the work on version 0.1 is finally over, and it's almost time
for release! After searching for and removing bugs and finishing off
the Help section, the app will be sent to download sites to be updated. I
can't confirm the exact release date, but it'll be done by next week.
Here's a quick review of what you can expect new in the next version:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bug fixes in ToDo List</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bug fixes in Sticky Notes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bug fixes in Prioritize</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Improvements to ToDo List - Sorting, overdue tasks grayed out, printing the list, removing overdue tasks, updating tasks</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">UI Changes</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Additions to ToDo List - Task ID, Start Date, Gantt Chart</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Improvement in Flash Cards - basic stats now given at end of session</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Relax feature added</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There is a Help section in case you're stuck with any of the features too :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Productivity version 0.1 Beta is already up for download on <a href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/Office-tools/Diary-Organizers-Calendar/Productivity.shtml" title="Softpedia">Softpedia, </a>and
contrary to what was planned earlier, there will be another beta
release before the final version comes out. Please do note that the beta
version has some incomplete features, but whatever is done should work
properly. If you encounter any errors, please submit a bug report by
commenting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The first thing you’ll notice in the next beta is the new UI. It’s a
cleaner and more easy to use UI than before, and we’ve also included a
Help section to help you get started (not that you’ll need it). Here’s
the new UI:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://theproductivityapp.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/capture1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://theproductivityapp.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/capture1.png" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The major reason for releasing another beta is that we wanted some
more feedback about the app so we can make it the way you want.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The most significant development has been done to the ToDo List feature, whose UI has also changed a bit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Unfortunately we can’t confirm a release date yet, but we’ll surely let you know soon:)</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Version 0.1 Beta was released just a few days back, and it gives you a
few glimpses of what the app will provide you. Work on the new version
is already going well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It must be noted that the beta is still, well, a <em>beta</em> so it does have a few bugs and annoyances, but those will be fixed in the final version, version 0.1.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The beta includes five main features, CompLock, ToDo List, Sticky
Notes, Flash Cards and Prioritize. Although CompLock is a fully stable
and near complete feature, the others will be developed in the upcoming
versions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Productivity is still a new app so it might take some time to gain
ground, but rest assured that it will happen at a good pace and that it
will be better than the tools you currently use :)</span></div>
