Last update:
A few reliability fixes for widgets, particularly around the Handled and checklist indicators introduced in 26.6. Two bugs caused Handled checkmarks and checklist progress counters to disappear from widgets. In the first, marking a date as Handled or checking off a checklist item didn't update the widget immediately — the indicator only appeared after you left the app and came back, so it could be missing for your entire current session. In the second, every sync run (including the automatic background sync) was silently overwriting the widget snapshot without the action-tracking data, wiping all indicators shortly after they appeared. Both are now fixed. Also fixed: later in the day, a date happening today could sometimes sort below one happening tomorrow in your widgets. Today's dates now always appear first, regardless of what time the widget last refreshed.
