What’s New in Stuff 2.1? A More Elegant, Cohesive Design The new UI refines every detail—colors, icons, and layouts have been reworked for greater clarity and consistency. Whether you’re jotting down a quick reminder or organizing a massive project, Stuff looks and feels smoother, cleaner, and more intuitive than ever. Every component in the app feels both familiar and brand new. A brand new UI has been designed to be deeply tactile and inviting, with every detail having been carefully crafted to create a unified to-do list experience. The colors are part of a cohesive, purposefully designed palette, bringing a sense of harmony to your time in Stuff. The icons are custom-built to complement Stuff’s unique feature set, helping every button feel natural and intuitive. From layouts to typography, every element has been meticulously refined to deliver a holistic, seamless, and beautifully tactile design. Whether you’re jotting down a quick reminder or managing a complex project, the new Stuff feels both instantly familiar and refreshingly new. The Deadline Bar: Quickly Visualize Deadlines Deadlines are now more tangible with the new Deadline Bar, a real-time visual indicator that keeps you on track. Starting two weeks before a deadline, the bar updates dynamically to show how much time remains, helping you instantly gauge urgency and prioritize accordingly. Whether you’re viewing a task or scanning a list, the Deadline Bar is always visible, ensuring your most important deadlines stay top of mind. Daily Notes & the Adventure Log Every day is a fresh start, and now you can write a quick note for each day—whether it’s a focus for the day, something you’re grateful for, or simply something you don’t want to forget. These daily notes are saved to your Adventure Log. Looking back, you’ll see not just what you accomplished, but also the thoughts, goals, and memories that shaped your journey. The Today Card: Your Day, At a Glance No matter where you are in the app, your most important tasks are just a tap away. Introducing the Today Card—a beautifully designed, tactile overlay that gives you instant access to everything that matters right now. Tap the star in the top right corner, and up pops a snapshot of your day, featuring the date, a live count of tasks remaining, your top 5 priorities, and even your Daily Note. Whether you’re planning ahead or checking in throughout the day, the Today Card keeps you focused without breaking your flow. Handwritten Animations for Task Completion Checking off a task now feels as good as crossing it out on a real notepad. When you complete a task, a drawn-on checkmark appears, as if ink is flowing onto the screen. Canceling a task? An x-mark gets scribbled on naturally, making every action feel rewarding. Optimized for iPad: Productivity at Its Best Stuff 2.1 isn’t just great on iPhone—it truly shines on iPad, transforming it into the ultimate productivity hub. The redesigned sidebar lets you see all your collections, spaces, and lists at a glance, making it effortless to switch between tasks. With Always-On Mode, you can keep Stuff open on your desk throughout the day, so your to-dos are always visible and ready for action. For power users, keyboard shortcuts make searching and adding new tasks lightning-fast, while full cursor support intelligently snaps to key elements, ensuring a seamless navigation experience. Faster, Smoother Performance Stuff has been optimized to handle even the most ambitious to-do lists. Whether you’re managing hundreds of tasks in a single list or working across shared lists with family or teammates, Stuff is now faster, more responsive, and better than ever.
