Structured - Daily Planner

Though it might seem like just another routine update with bug fixes, there's more than meets the eye. Stay tuned on April 10 as we celebrate our birthday! 
Meanwhile, you can check out our app event for the Neurodiversity Awareness Month, where we are highlighting features that allow you to use Structured exactly how you need it.

Update Alert! This time, something that is very close to our hearts is your privacy. Furthermore, there are, of course, bug fixes and performance enhancements for a better user experience.

Here's what's new in Structured 3.4.1

** Privacy Center **

Take control of your personal information for easy customization and management. You can determine what information you want to share, manage your device permissions, and, most importantly, learn about our commitment to data protection.

** Loads of bug fixes and improvements **

We addressed minor bugs and enhanced the overall user experience for smoother planning. We also made small adjustments to the new Energy Monitor.

Hello, Structured users! As we move through February, we're pleased to announce the latest update to your planning tool. This release includes a special feature developed with expert input, as well as several other enhancements aimed at improving your experience with Structured.

What's New in Structured 3.4

1. Energy Monitor:

In partnership with the Dutch institute Breinstraat and with contributions from scientists and medical professionals, we're introducing the Energy Monitor. This new feature is designed to help individuals with brain injuries track and manage their energy levels throughout the day. Recognizing its potential utility for a wider audience, we've made the Energy Monitor available to all users as an experimental feature. It can be enabled in Advanced Settings, allowing you to assign energy levels to tasks and monitor your daily energy usage. We welcome your feedback on this feature.

To learn more about this feature, check out our blog post at structured.app/blog.

2. New Icons and Animations:

We've added a set of new icons and animations across the app to provide a refreshed look and add some playful touches here and there.

3. Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements:

This update includes fixes for known issues and improvements to app stability.

Compatibility Notice:

Starting with Structured 3.4, the app requires iOS 16, watchOS 9, and macOS 13 to ensure access to the latest features and optimal performance. If upgrading is not an option for you, the previous version of Structured remains available without further updates.

We hope you find the new features and improvements useful. Your feedback is important to us as we continue to develop Structured to better meet your needs.

Best,

The Structured Team

We hope the year has been kind to you so far! We're thrilled to share that at Structured, we've been sticking to our New Year's resolutions, and are proud to roll out a new update for you.

Here's what's new in Structured 3.3.2

1. Apple Vision Pro Support:

We love innovation! With the release of the Apple Vision Pro on February 2, Structured is coming in a modified iPad version to your physical workplace. Integrate your daily schedule straight into your environment and create your perfect working space on your new Vision Pro.

2. Improved and Faster Icon Search:

Our revamped icon search is here to read your mind (almost). Find the perfect icons faster, helping you express tasks visually and streamline your planning process.

3. Emoji Search:

We love emojis. Our new emoji search feature allows you to search for icons by using emojis. It's as simple as that.

4. Bug Fixes and Improvements:

Not revolutionary, but still important. We've worked hard to address bugs and make overall improvements to the user experience.

We are looking forward to receiving feedback and ideas for upcoming updates. Write to you next time.

After the big launch of iOS 17 (thanks for all the great feedback), we've been working hard to dig through issues that came up in the past few weeks.

This update addresses most of these issues. It fixes many bugs and crashes. Additionally, we've worked on improving the speed of updating widgets.

We hope these improvements make your work more productive and your breaks more enjoyable. 

If you continue to encounter any problems, please let us know!

The Structured Team

We are thrilled to announce another big Structured update! This time, we introduce support for some new features around widgets, which were just released with the new iOS. Besides that, we spent a lot of time optimizing things behind-the-scenes and have fixed over 100 bugs! Especially, the calendar and reminders integration are more reliable and smoother.

**Interactive Widgets**

With the latest iOS update, widgets can finally be interactive, and we are here on day one to support it. This means, you can check off your tasks without having to open the app, even from your lock screen.

Simply tap the checkmark (or circle) to toggle a task, and if there is no checkmark (because the widget is too small), try tapping the title of the task.

**StandBy Mode**

Another big addition to the recent iOS update is the new StandBy mode. Whenever you charge your phone is in landscape, a new, beautiful display of the current time will show up. You also have the option to add your own widgets and, of course, we recommend adding the Structured widget, which was optimized specifically for this.

StandBy is perfect for keeping an eye on your timeline, while at your desk, and interactive widgets work here too.

**Customizable Widgets**

Another significant change to widgets, is the ability to customize some aspects of it. You can now choose to display all-day tasks at the top of a Timeline widget, control if the Plus button is shown or set the order of tasks in the new Inbox widget (upsi spoiler).

**New Widgets**

With all these changes to widgets, they became so powerful, that we just had to add some more. Say hello to the new Inbox widget and a special Subtasks widget. The Subtasks widget also lets you complete subtasks directly from your home screen.

**Missing Lock Screen Widgets**

If you previously had Lock Screen widgets installed, you may have noticed that they have disappeared. Don't worry, they are still available and you simply have to re-add them once. We had to do this for technical reasons. Thanks for your understanding.

We hope you enjoy all these changes and look forward to your feedback.

All the best,

We are continuing to work hard on a bigger update behind the scenes. This tiny update brings some small fixes and some preparations for the future.

Excited for what is coming soon!

We have been a bit quiet, but I can assure you that there is something brewing in the background. Meanwhile, we have been squashing a few bugs and improving performance a bit.

On top of that, this update includes some new app icons you can choose from, including some inspired by other indie apps.

On Apple Watch, we've added a complication that you can place on the edges of your watch face to quickly see the progress of a task. These complications are only available on watchOS 9 and onwards. Unfortunately, we had to remove support for complications in earlier versions.

Unfortunately, we also had to remove support for undo/redo since it was causing more problems than it was solving. But we are planning to bring it back better soon!

We're excited to announce Structured 3.1, which introduces a powerful new feature for our pro users: the Structured Assistant! This experimental feature uses AI to help you plan your day effortlessly using natural language.

** Structured Assistant **

The Structured Assistant is designed to make creating tasks even easier and more intuitive. Simply tell the assistant your plan for the day in everyday language, and it will use AI to generate a list of tasks for you. No more manual task creation or complex scheduling - let the Structured Assistant handle it for you!

To give it a try, tap the robot icon in the top bar and start speaking or typing your plans. Please note that this feature is currently only available to users subscribed to Structured Pro and can only understand English. We're working on expanding its capabilities and language support in future updates.

We hope you find the Structured Assistant helpful in making your daily planning even more efficient. As always, we appreciate your feedback and suggestions to help us improve the app further.

Thank you for using Structured, and have a productive day!

~ Leo and the Structured Team

Today, May 18, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day! We want to celebrate this day with some updates to make Structured more accessible and inclusive for everyone.
Firstly, we improved the support for VoiceOver and VoiceControl, making the app easier to use for visually impaired people or those with limited mobility. Moreover, we’ve also added an alternate font option in the Appearance settings, which can help alleviate some symptoms of dyslexia. Choose the font that works best for you and enjoy a more personalized experience. 
If you have any feedback on how we can make Structured even more accessible for everyone, let use know.

~ Leo

Like before, Structured 3.0.8 contains many little fixes for issues and resolves one important bigger annoying bug, where imported reminder would constantly disappear when opening the app. Thanks to everyone, who reported this and helped resolve this issue!

~ Leo

Structured 3.0.7 fixes many little issues and one important bug, where restoring the backup would actually remove all tasks (sorry about that).

~ Leo

Structured 3.0.6 again "only" fixes bugs and crashes, but something cool is coming soon. Promise!

~ Leo

Structured 3.0.5 fixes a few minor bugs and crashes, but nothing big. There is more to come soon!

Anyway, thanks for using Structured, and have a productive day!

~ Leo

Structured 3.0.4 brings you a more seamless and enjoyable experience with a host of bug fixes and performance improvements. Our team has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to eliminate numerous small issues and refine the app's overall functionality. Here's a list of everything we've fixed or improved for you:

- Fixed an issue that prevented Apple Watch complications from displaying
- Resolved an issue that caused Home Screen Widgets to appear empty when tasks overlapped
- Enhanced calendar integration for better support of recurring events
- Fixed a problem where widgets would fail to appear on macOS 12
- Fixed an issue where the menu bar on macOS would be unresponsive
- Improved the touchability of certain buttons for ease of use
- Fixed a problem where tasks would still appear after resetting the app
- Added a close button to the day picker for added convenience
- Resolved several crashes for a smoother experience
- Removed "Lunar New Year" categories from the icon pickerm, while still making the icons available in other categories
- Improved the overall performance of the app for more efficient use

We're confident that these changes will make it easier for you to plan your day and enhance the app's overall quality. If you encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're continually working on larger updates to further improve the app.

Thank you for using Structured, and have a productive day!

~ Leo

Our new year's resolution at Structured is to focus on improving the overall quality and performance of the app.

We are starting by fixing a long-standing and annoying bug, where the buttons at the top would sometimes not work.

What are your new year's resolutions? Which ones did you already abandon?

~ Leo

This release will not add anything shiny (did you check out the focus timer from last release?), instead we are doubling down on fixing some bugs that have been bugging (pun intended) us for a while.

The main focus was in and around the calendar and reminder sync, which should be a loot better now.

Structured is now also ready for macOS 13 Ventura, and this update fixes a few bugs related to that.

Big shoutout to our QA Engineer Jean-Marie, who spotted all these bugs and made it super easy to fix them!

Give us a shout if you find any other bugs.

~ Leo

P.S. You might soon notice, that Structured is no longer listed under my name but under “unorderly GmbH” instead. This is only a legal change to make things safer and more official, and does not mean the app has been sold to a big company. It’s still me (Leo) building the app, with the help of Kevin (social media & customer support), Jean-Marie (testing) and a few other wonderful people.

Let's focus! 

Now that's even easier because this update adds a wonderful full-screen focus timer. Know exactly how much time you have left on your task.
Just select "Focus Now" on a currently running tasks, and you'll be greeted by a huge countdown.

I didn't even mention the best thing! If you are running iOS 16.1, you'll even get this beautiful countdown right on your lock screen and for everyone with a fancy new iPhone 14 Pro (Max), you'll see the remaining time on the dynamic island.

That way, you'll never lose track of your task, no matter what you are doing.

Structured is an indie app. This means that it's built by me (Leo) and not a big cooperation.

There are tons of other great indie apps out there, which are just waiting to be used by you!

To spread the word about these great apps, I've added a small banner in the settings screen, which will show you a different indie app and the developer behind it each week.

I don't make any money from this, just want to show you some wonderful apps from a few friends. Hope you like it!

Thank you so much for using the app! This version will resolve some minor issues within the app and adds a few small improvements.

iOS 16 is here and comes with beautiful new lock screens! But what would make those gorgeous lock screens even better? Correct, your Structured tasks!

After you've updated your device or set up your brand-new iPhone, you can press and hold your lock screen and add 3 different widget types to it.

That way, you don't even have to unlock your phone to see what's happing next. 

Ahh, and I've also fixed a few bugs related to notifications. Sorry about that.

TLDR;
- Over 400 new icons for every task and activity
- Brand-new icon picker with categories, search and recently used.
- Fixed a bug, where recurring events were duplicating.
- Improved translations for Simplified Chines, Korean, Japanese, Thai and Finish.
- Added a monthly & yearly subscription for Structured Pro. If you already have Structured Pro, you'll keep lifetime access!

One of the key parts of Structured are those small icons you can choose for every task. They make it easy to see what’s up at a glance, can help categories your task, and just add this extra touch.

They were inspired by the little stickers you can put into your paper planners, but have the added benefit of never running out and Structured 2.3 you’ve got a big new pack of those in your mail (not literally).

*** 400+ New Icons ***

Today’s update adds over 400 new icons and updates some existing ones, bringing the total to over 550 icons. New icons include a vacuum cleaner or broom for cleaning up, a slice of pizza or burger if you get hungry, Instagram or Twitter logos if you need to post a picture of your food and a hammock if you need to relax after eating it.

But all these icons also want to get found and scrolling through 550 might be relaxing, but will probably not get you closer to your goals. That’s why I’ve added tons of new features to the brand-new icons view.

*** All-New Icons Picker ***

First and foremost, all the icons are grouped into 17 different Categories, and you can quickly jump to the correct one using the Categories Bar at the bottom. Alternatively, you can also use the Search Bar at the top to find a fitting icon or pick one of the suggested ones (I’m working on improving the suggestions soon). If you have a few favorite icons you use over and over again (may I suggest the candy icon), they will pop up in the **Recently used** section, where you can quickly access them.

*** Premium Icons ***

Some new icons are now part of Structured Pro and require you to upgrade to use them. If you’ve upgrade to Structured Pro in the past, you’ll already have access to all premium and free icons. All old and some new icons (250 in total) can be used by all Structured users for free. These include icons for cycling, knitting and importantly all school related icons.

*** Still missing icons??? ***

550 icons cover plenty of different activities, as everyone’s life is different, I’m sure there are still some missing. If you can’t find the perfect icon for your hobby or pet, simply use the "Request Icon" form at the bottom, and I’ll do my best to add more icons in future updates.

*** What else changed? ***

Besides adding 400+ icons and improving the icon pickers, I’ve also reworked the inner workings of recurring tasks. This does not bring any new features, but should fix a bug where they kept duplicating and improve their performance.

The translation for Simplified Chines, Korean, Japanese, Thai and Finish should now also be more consistent.

Other than that, Structured is now offering a yearly and monthly plan, in addition to the existing lifetime plan. Everyone who has bough Structured Pro in the past, will keep their lifetime plan for life (the life of the app, not your life). The new lifetime plan will be more expensive, but it remains at the current price for a limited time.

- Subtasks on recurring tasks should no longer be checked off for future days
- Undo / Redo: You can now undo a recent change by pressing CMD + Z or holding with 3 fingers and then using the action bar at the top.
- Some performance improvements, which should also reduce the energy consumption of the app.

Apple Watch Complications are here!!!

With the addition of the Apple Watch app, you no longer had to use your iPhone to see the next task. Now you don't even have to open the Apple Watch app...

There are a couple of different complications to choose from. From a small symbol of the next task in the corner, to a (relatively) big display of the current and next task.

Other than that, I've fixed a couple of smaller bugs (let me know if you find more!)

~ Leo

Do you speak French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish or Dutch? If so, you are in luck. Because, thanks to the help from the people of Wordcrafts, those languages should be more consistent and more natural.

In addition to that, I've fixed a couple of bugs in the app and added a link to the Structured Blog (blog.structured.app). Make sure to check out the post about other great indie apps!

** TLDR **
Structured turns 2. Yay!
Structured for Apple Watch!
Custom Alerts & Notification Sounds
More App Icons (including drafts from over 2 years ago)
Put on the party hats and turn up the music. Structured is turning TWO!

Only two years ago, I released a little day planner I created in my free-time (without any expectations) and two years later over 1.7 Million people have downloaded it.

What better way to celebrate, then with a big, fat update, version 2.2 (so many 2's). 

Last version I released Structured on Mac, and today we are taking over the next device (a much smaller one admittedly): Apple Watch!

If you own an Apple Watch, you'll now be able to see your schedule, complete tasks or reschedule them, right on your wrist.
Now you can put your (distracting) phone away and just focus on getting sh*t done.
Your tasks will automatically sync via iCloud, so make sure that is enabled.

But we've got more (even if you don't own an Apple Watch): Custom Alerts & Notification Sounds.

You can now set up alerts to remind you about tasks before they start, and can adjust those alerts for each task separately. On top of all that, you can also choose out of more than 20 notification sounds (including some animal sounds).
Customizing alerts requires Structured Pro, but now for the first time you can get notifications at the beginning of the task for free.

Additionally, you'll find two new (and old) app icons in the Appearance section of the Settings. This includes some of the first drafts for Structured icons (spoiler: there is a reason they stayed drafts).

Furthermore, if you'd like to learn more about Structured's history, have a look at the article at blog.structured.app.

That's it. So take a piece of cake and enjoy the party.

Additionally, you'll find two new (and old) app icons in the Appearance section of the Settings. This includes some of the first drafts for Structured icons (spoiler: there is a reason they stayed drafts).

Furthermore, if you'd like to learn more about Structured's history, have a look at the article at blog.structured.app.

That's it. So take a piece of cake and enjoy the party.

Millions of people are suffering from Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. To help, I’ll be donating all proceeds from this week to charities helping Ukraine. Visit https://help.structured.app/stand-with-ukraine to learn more.

I've also replaced the app’s startup screen as a sign of solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

Slava Ukraini!

Hey there,

After the big release of Structured for Mac last week (make sure to download it in the Mac App Store!), this update will "only" fix a few bugs and crashes.

Cheers,

Leo

Hey there,

It's finally time to bring Structured to the big screen. The Mac (not the cinema yet...)!

Starting today, you'll be able to download Structured from the Mac App Store (requires macOS 12+) and can start planning your day using a mouse and keyboard. All your tasks will sync automatically over iCloud and you'll have access to all pro features if you've already upgraded on iOS.

Let me know how it goes!

If you don't use macOS, don't worry, there are also a couple of nice improvements in the iOS version!

- Reorder Subtasks: You can now drag and drop subtasks to reorder them when editing a task.
- Full Reminder Sync: You can now choose to also sync the time and day back to the Reminders app if you changed it in Structured.
- Week Start: You can now change the first day of the week in settings.
- Backups: Structured will now create backups of your tasks and store them in iCloud Drive. This is an experimental feature but might save you in the future...
- New Languages: You can now plan your day in Afrikaans or Persian! Thanks to all the translators!

As always, thanks to everyone, who has helped test this update and the Mac version!

Cheers,

Leo

Happy New Year! I hope you were able to get some rest and are recharged to start strong into the new year.

There are tons of exciting things ahead for Structured for 2022 and I can't wait to get started. The first big one is a Mac app to help you plan your day on the big screen and during work. You can already try it, by following the guide in the settings. As it's currently in beta, you might still encounter some small issues, so be careful.

Other than that, this update contains some small improvements to help you in the new year:

- Faster widgets: I've made some small tweaks and accelerated the updates of the widgets by 40%
- Keyboard shortcuts: If you use an iPad with a keyboard, you'll now be able to press CMD + N to create a new task or CMD + -> to go to the next day. Just hold down CMD to see all shortcuts.
- Some smaller bug fixes and improvements

As always, let me know if you find any issues!

Have a great day, Leo

Structured 2.0 was released a week ago and I've already gotten tons of feedback!

This small update just fixes a couple of crashes and issues that came up during the week. Let me know if you encounter anything else...

A big thanks also to everyone who helped test this version and found all the bugs before the big release!!!

**New in version 1.5:**

*Weekly Overview*
The top bar now displays the whole week. This makes switching between days a lot quicker and the small icons give you a feeling of what's happening on each day.
You can also swipe to see what's up next week or to revisit the past.
If you prefer living in the day, you can collapse the bar by tapping the ••• and focus on today.

*Performance Boost*
I've reworked some of the internals of the day plan and was able to significantly speed up the list. It should now be a lot quicker to scroll around your plan and switch between days.

*Better Notifications*
Structured can now also remind you to tick off a task after it finished and you won't even have to open the app to do it.
Just tap and hold the notification and you will get an option to mark the task as complete.
Of course, you can also fine-tune your notifications in settings.

*German Localisation*
Strukturiere deinen Tag! You can now plan your day in German.
If you'd like to help translate Structured into your language, let me know at structured@leomehlig.com.

*Other improvements*
I've also fixed a lot of bugs and improved the iCloud sync. If you continue to have problems syncing across devices, visits the "iCloud Sync" page in the settings for more information and help.

Soo sorry for all the duplicate tasks. I missed something small in the latest update. Please delete all the new "Wake Up" and "Sleep Well" tasks, by tapping them and choosing "Delete Task" at the bottom. Sorry again.

In the meantime I'm working hard on a bigger update. If you are interested in testing it beforehand, please contact me at structured@leomehlig.com.

Hey, this is a small update with some fixes in the background.

Have a great day!

Leo

This version fixes a crash that affected a few users. I'm sorry.
