Everything that changed in FocusCrew in October 2026: 57 updates to the planner, habits, focus timer, notes and crews.
While you rearrange the Dashboard the page dims, so the cards you are moving stand out. Show or hide cards opens as a panel from the side, with the page still in view, so you can watch a card arrive.
On Focus, the project picker shows each project's icon.
See itInside Notes, Planner, Settings and Admin the menu now stays beside the page as a strip of icons, so every tool is one click away. The menus read a little larger too.
Show or hide cards shows a small picture of each Dashboard card instead of a name — tap one to show or hide it.
In Notes, All notes and a folder can be sorted newest first or A–Z, and long lists draw as you scroll. Charts in Farsi sit on their lines again.
See itStart a note from a template — study notes, meeting notes, a brain dump, a weekly review and more. It opens with the headings ready and a hint under each.
When you share a badge you earned, the page now says it was you.
See itTwo new cards for your Dashboard: today's top 7 focusers, and how many flashcards you studied on each of the last 7 days. Turn them on from the cards button, now grouped by tool.
The Shortcuts card can hold one, two, three or four shortcuts, and the Dashboard can be the page that opens after you sign in.
Plan is now called Planner, and Your tools only shows or hides tools.
See itFlashcards are here: decks, the five Anki card types, study that brings each card back just before you would forget it, Anki import and export as plain text, and "Add to flashcards" on text in a note.
Your cards have their own page, the Dashboard, with a new Shortcuts card for four notes, folders, decks or projects. Focus is now just the timer and your background.
On a computer or tablet every tool sits in a menu down the side of the page. Fold it to a strip of icons when you want the room.
See itWrite maths with LaTeX in a formula block, tag notes with their own tags (your labels on notes were copied over), and right-click in a note for cut, copy, paste, formatting or inserting a heading, list, table or formula.
The graph has a side panel for the background and folder boxes — folders inside folders are drawn inside each other — and exports a PNG.
The notes list resizes, Recently Deleted lets you select notes and delete them for good, long titles wrap on a phone, and the direction buttons show which way a line runs.
See itOpen several notes side by side in tabs, and keep a graph open in a tab of its own while you jump into the notes it shows. Right-click a note or a folder to see its graph or everything you have highlighted in it, gathered as quotes.
The notes list is now one tree: folders open onto their notes, and you can pin folders as well as notes to the top. Right-click a table to add rows and columns or delete it.
Persian notes and lists sit right to left — in previews, list bullets and a line you set yourself — and Tight spacing is tighter.
See itThe ADHD Toolbox has its own FAQ: who picks the resources, what ADHD is, why body doubling and short timed sessions help some people, and how the self-check works. The front page of the toolbox shows five of the answers.
See itOn the website you can now sign in or create an account with “Continue with Google”. If you already have an account with the same email, you land in it.
See itSave a copy of everything you added as one zip from Settings → Account, and connect Google Calendar on any plan.
React to crew messages and edit your own, and use a more compact to-do form where Repeat works without a date first.
Achievements tells you more about your rhythm, lets you hide any slice of the label chart, and filters badges by earned, next up and not yet.
See itPlan’s Calendar view now shows your archived to-dos on their day too, so a week you look back on still has everything you finished.
What’s new is grouped by month, with a page for each month, a sticker for what kind of change it is and the version it arrived in.
See itOn Plan’s Report view, tap a row under a pie chart to take that slice out of the chart, and tap it again to bring it back. Each chart remembers your choice.
Adding a note to a locked folder now asks for your notes PIN first, instead of stopping.
See itEvery day just after midnight, to-dos due today or with a date that has passed move to Now, so the day starts with them in front of you.
Move one back and it stays there until tomorrow. Settings → Plan has a switch if you would rather move them yourself.
See itPlan has a Report view next to Board: your to-dos by column and by project, what is due when, what you finished each day, and more — and it follows your filters.
See itType / in a note for a quick list of commands — headings, lists, a quote, a table, links to your to-dos and notes, emoji.
The note toolbar has an emoji button: search, tap, and it lands where you were typing — on the website and in the app.
After 90 minutes of focus you now have ten minutes to say you’re still there, and your browser gets a notification if the tab is in the background.
See itGive a to-do with a due date a Repeat rule — every few days, weeks (on the weekdays you pick), months or years. Finish it and the next one appears, due on its next date.
Ticked by mistake? Move it back out of Finished and the new copy goes away again.
See itA habit’s ⋯ menu has Mark as done: it fills the rest of the goal in one press, timer habits included.
In Notes, drag across notes to select several and move or delete them together, use the + on a folder for a new note inside it, and empty Recently Deleted in one go.
See itTwo new shelves on the Badges tab: XP milestones from 10 to 25,000 XP, and levels 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50.
If you already had the XP, the badges are yours now. Look for them in Achievements.
See itNotes can hold tables: insert one from the toolbar, then add rows and columns as you go.
Right-click a folder or All notes for a graph of how your notes link together, or export one folder on its own. Up on a note’s first line goes to its title.
See itAnalytics and Badges are now two tabs of one Achievements page, in your account menu. Projects is called Projects & labels.
A Personal insights card says when you focus best: the part of the day, your strongest two hours and your best weekday. Ticking a step in a to-do now saves at once.
See itFrom a chat message’s menu you can now block a person: their messages are hidden from you, and you stay in the same crews. They are never told.
Settings → Privacy lists the people you blocked. Some offensive words are hidden automatically, and every report reaches us the same day.
See itDrag a note from the gallery onto a folder, as from the list. In the phone app, rest a finger on a note and move it onto a folder, or onto the bar above to move it up.
Folders in Notes and stacks in your Projects list now start folded; the one you are in opens by itself.
See itLong sessions now ask “Still there?” after every 90 minutes of focus. Tap “I’m here” within five minutes and nothing changes; with no answer, the session counts up to the question.
An Ultimate session nobody checks on is treated as left behind after two hours instead of four.
From 15 October each day counts up to 14 hours on the boards. Anything beyond still counts in your own stats, level and XP.
See itWith FocusCrew in Farsi, every number — the timer, counts, dates and XP — is written in Persian digits.
Your favourites on your profile show the five you added last, with "Show all" for the rest.
See itA to-do you tick on the To Do card is now crossed out and greyed, as it is on the calendar and in the archive.
The FocusCrew name at the top left takes you to your start page, Focus or Plan, whichever you chose in Settings.
See itOpen a to-do to leave a comment; its creator and everyone on it hear about it. A to-do can now be for several people, and each gets its reminder.
File a note in a project to share it with the project, and filter your notes by label or project.
A calmer /focus to start: To Do with this week by label under it, the timer, habit progress and the calendar, on a plain background. The To Do card shows seven at a time.
See itScrollbars across FocusCrew are now a thin grey line that darkens when you point at it, instead of the browser’s wide bar.
Lock a note or a folder with a PIN: it shows only its title until you open it. Import Markdown, text or Word files, and pick a folder to see its notes as tiles.
Link notes to each other, see a note’s headings beside it, set line spacing, press Enter in a title to start writing, and add a folder inside a folder.
"Focus on this task" sets the timer to the to-do’s time estimate. Also: an analog clock, a minimum for crew challenges, 50 MB music tracks, and tabs that follow a pause or stop.
See itThe screen where you pick your tools — on your first visit and from the account menu — is a grid of cards: an icon, the name, one line on what each tool does, and a check in the corner.
Tap a card to switch a tool on or off; the line under the grid counts how many are on.
See itOn Notes, while no note is open, the right side shows the notes of the folder you picked as tiles — a tap opens one, and a right-click gives the same menu as the list.
The list folds to a thin strip on a laptop so a note gets the whole width, Export all notes sits at the foot of the list, and on a phone the formatting bar is compact with an "Aa" button for the rest.
A small word now sits under every icon in the header and the bottom bar.
See itOn Plan, drop a project onto another in the Projects list to stack them, or right-click one and choose Add to a stack; a stack can be renamed, folded, dragged up and down, and picked to see every to-do across its projects.
When you upload a profile or crew picture you now choose which square of it to keep; folders in Notes take an icon and a colour; a to-do's link shows as a clickable link; the header and the phone's bottom bar show icons only.
Focus has a small Calendar card and a + on the Note card, another member's page shows the same streak, XP, gems and badges yours does, and every open FocusCrew tab says when your session finished.
See itThe light theme is white now, with softer text, quieter corners and less empty space around everything — the same features, closer together.
On Focus, Rearrange cards lets you make any card half as wide, so two small cards share a row. Music, theme and language sit behind one icon in the header.
Crews hold up to twenty people, the Eisenhower matrix shows ten to-dos per quadrant before "Show more", and the timer tabs read in your language.
See itWrite notes in folders, with headings, lists, quotes, colours, highlights and links to your to-dos. Persian text reads right to left on its own, and you can set the direction of any part yourself.
Search, label, pin and drag your notes into folders, keep one beside your timer on Focus, and right-click any note to rename, duplicate, share or move it — deleted ones wait 30 days in Recently Deleted.
Share a note by link, or with FocusCrew members and private crews to view or edit, and export one note or all of them as Markdown, a web page, Word, plain text or PDF.
See itOn Plan, drag the edge of the Projects list to make it wider or narrower, and click its heading to open Projects.
The project you have picked now keeps showing how many open to-dos it has.
See itBlog posts with sections now list them beside the post, so you can see what is coming and jump straight to the part you need.
See itThe bottom of Settings now shows the version of FocusCrew you are using, on the website and in the iPhone app.
See itStandings now has a This week board beside Today, and every crew page has a Focus button that opens the timer with that crew picked.
Notifications show when they arrived, and you can keep your ADHD self-check score in your Focus Profile if you choose to.
See itIn the Archived view, delete to-dos for good, one at a time or all at once.
A project’s menu on Plan now starts with favourites and can open the project to edit it.
See itOn Plan, drag across an empty part of the board to select several to-dos, then move, flag, archive or delete them together.
Drop a to-do, or a whole selection, on a project in the Projects list to move it there.
Right-click a project to rename, delete or favourite it, and drag projects into your own order.
See itNew badges for your first project, label and habit, for rating the app, for feedback you send and for friends who join through your link.
More for long runs too: a thousand sessions, ninety days, and repeat day wins. Any you already earned are waiting for you.
On Plan, fold the Projects list and the calendar’s No date column away with the panel icon, and bring them back the same way.
See itSubscribers now get a short email once a month with what is new in FocusCrew and the latest posts from the blog.
Sign up at the bottom of the home page; every email has a one-click way out.
The owner of a shared project can make someone they share it with the new owner; you stay in it as a member.
Add a new label straight from the Labels list while you write a to-do, and share any blog post in one tap.
Signing up for the newsletter works again — it had been failing since it launched.
See itA bell in every crew chat turns chat notifications off for all your crews, or back on.
On a laptop, Plan lists your projects down the side of the board with their open to-dos; pick one to see only its work.
This page is now in your account menu too, with a dot whenever there is something new.
See itPro is €3.99 and Max €5.99 a month for founding members, who keep that price for as long as they stay subscribed.

Labels, projects and crews have twice as many colours to choose from.
You can write to us from a form on the contact page, as well as by email.
See itDuring a break, FocusCrew suggests a stretch, a walk, water or a rest for your eyes, with a moving figure to follow.
Each idea now says in one sentence why it helps, and names the study behind it.
Every notification has a picture for its kind, a × to remove it and a ⋯ menu with "Show less like this".
The bell has "Mark all read", and new crew chat messages now ring it — once per crew until you have read them.
Anything written in Farsi — a to-do, a chat message, a habit — is set in Vazirmatn and reads right to left, even when the app itself is in English or German.
Planner, Pomodoro, Habits and Crews are four tools you can switch on and off. Switching one off hides it everywhere without deleting anything.
One click opens a to-do on the board, and you can delete it from there.
New to-dos start with a short form — title, notes and project — with everything else one tap away, and the board can show only flagged to-dos.
See itEvery crew has a chat beside its page, and you can keep it on your Focus page as a card.
Connect Google Calendar in Settings and your dated to-dos appear in a FocusCrew calendar there, while your other events show on the planner calendar.
A free, public collection of videos, apps, communities, books, courses and techniques that help with ADHD, and a fifteen-question self-check that stays in your browser.
See itBesides 5, 25 and 50 minutes, the pencil after the presets sets any length from 1 to 480 minutes.
Plan now holds only your to-dos. Habits has its own place in the menu, and projects and labels live under Projects.
Break a to-do into steps and tick them off from the card, without turning each step into a to-do of its own.
