Finalist 4.1 is ready for the latest iOS, here are the highlights. SIRI AND APPLE INTELLIGENCE (iOS 27) Siri can now manage Finalist directly. Create, update, complete and delete tasks, take notes, and manage calendar events, all conversationally. Say "Add a task in Finalist", or say the whole thing in one sentence and it goes right in. Use Finalist regularly and Siri learns it is your planner, so you can even drop the app name. Tasks and notes appear in Spotlight too, so Siri can find and open them by name. WEEKLY SPREAD A new Planner mode that lays out your week like a paper planner spread: Monday to Wednesday on the left page, Thursday to Sunday on the right. iPad and Mac show the open spread and flip whole weeks, iPhone turns one page at a time. A new visual layout picker lets you show or hide any kind of content (tasks, reminders, habits, events, weather) in every Planner mode. SCORE An opt-in Daily section that turns a week of scattered effort into one number. Give your tags point values, set a weekly target, and earn points by completing tasks, habits and reminders, or simply journaling. A new History view shows half a year of week-by-week results, with streaks and your best week. Turn it on in Customize Layout. DAY NOTES AND SKETCHES Daily's Notes section now has a permanent spot to jot things down. Start typing and it becomes today's note. Tap the pencil tab to sketch instead, with Apple Pencil or a finger, right inside Daily. Drawings use Apple's modern Pencil engine with shapes, text boxes and stickers, and sketches now show up on the Mac. MULTI-SELECTION Pick a bunch of tasks in Daily and complete, move, tag or delete them in one go, with Undo. Cmd-click on Mac and iPad, two-finger tap on iPhone. The Timeline gets multi-select too: group blocks and move them together, gaps preserved. ALSO IN 4.1 - A new full-page Day Page widget, built for iOS 27's extra-large widget size. - Tags: a two-page workspace with usage details, Time Spent reports, twenty new ink colors and a custom color picker. - Habits open a proper summary page with streak stats and calendars. - Journal: workouts logged from Health bring their GPS route, with mini maps of your runs and walks. - Text size control in Settings, reaching most of the app. - Mac: Capture arrives in the View menu, and Cmd+E / Cmd+Delete work wherever you hover. - Show in Note / List / Daily jumps from any task to where it lives. - Photos and sketches move to new synced storage with much higher quality and size limits. - Apple Watch: reschedule reminders from the wrist, and a cleaner tap model on rows. - Much faster iCloud sync, quicker cold launch, smoother scrolling. - Hundreds of fixes and refinements.

Finalist 4.0 is the biggest release since launch: four months of open beta, 40 builds, and a planner that is now complete on every screen. NOTES A new Notes tab with notebooks, an Inbox, tags and global search. Keep native notes that sync over iCloud, or connect any folder of markdown files, including your Obsidian vault, and edit them in place. Markdown tasks become real Finalist tasks. Pin notes to Daily, date a note to surface it on the right day, or long-press the big PLUS to dictate one instantly. APPLE WATCH (NEW) Finalist comes to the wrist. A Now card answers the day's current question, from your first moves in the morning to an evening wrap-up with streaks to protect. Below it, one scrollable view of events, tasks, reminders and habits. Long-press a task for Done, Tomorrow, or In 10 Minutes. Pinned lists are checkable from the wrist, and complications plus a Smart Stack widget keep your day on the watch face. Requires watchOS 26. YOUR DAY, REDESIGNED Daily now has two looks: Daybook, the classic, and Broadsheet, a newsprint-inspired design for big screens. A new layout editor lets you rearrange sections, build multi-column spreads on iPad and Mac, and save presets. The Timeline is rebuilt from the ground up: free time compresses so busy stretches get the room, and you can drag tasks in to sketch your day in pencil, then tap Accept to make the times real. ALSO IN 4.0 - Tags almost everywhere: tasks, notes, events, reminders, habits. Tap a tag on Daily to see just that thread of your day. - Capture: share or photograph anything, and on-device intelligence turns it into dated tasks with the right fields filled in. - Yearly Planner: caption highlighted runs and paint a week of days with one swipe. - Share Day: render your day as a clean, themed image. - Custom event icons, and meeting links shown as a compact Join pill. - A whole new onboarding flow, a rebuilt Hear Summary player with transcript, and a fully native Mac app. - Hundreds of fixes and refinements.

This update lets you pin any list from your Lists tab to Today. This is great for time-sensitive yet longer-running lists: whether you’re packing for a trip, visiting coffee shops in a new city or working through project tasks. Your pinned list will be there for you tomorrow, with completed items hidden to keep things tidy.

Finalist tasks can now have a start and end time and be automatically added to and removed from your Calendar (with in-calendar links back to Finalist), with visual countdown on the task itself. You can also create Reminders with or without due time right from the Daily tab. Upcoming high priority reminders and bookmarked tasks can be shown ahead of time on your Daily tab and the new Search bar lets you find and edit both tasks and reminders. And as always, you’ll find many more under-the-hood performance and UI improvements.
