We're finally putting the finishing touches on version 3.0 of Productivity. We've discussed most of the new features in the previous blog post. Apart from these changes, we've also fixed some bugs in CompLock and the automatic update checking, which used to return an error. We hope you like the new interface and features.

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. 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. UI Changes 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:   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:   The new Ribbon has a backstage view like the Office 2013 products. Scheduler This is the most exciting feature we have in this release. The new Scheduler...

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: Bug fixes: Journal, CompLock, ToDo List General:  Update Check added Nap Alarm added with Dymaxion, Uberman and Everyman sleep cycle support Journal: Search added Attachments feature added Timetable Manager: Modify details feature added Today menu added 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. 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 ...

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. 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. 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.

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.  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. You can download the new version, which is 20.2 MB, from any of the following sites: Softpedia   FreewareFiles.com   Softonic   We hope you find the new version useful!

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. 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. 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.
