2.4.12 (November 2026)

Habits. A daily checklist for the things you do and the things you'd like to do less of. Free for everyone.

• Something I do, or do less of. Tick the first kind. For the second, log each time it happens, with an optional daily limit that is shown beside your count as a plain fact ("2 today, limit 3") and never as a pass or a fail.
• Any day. Look at an earlier day and log it there. Each habit shows a plain total for the last seven days. No streaks, no scores.
• A dashboard card. Add Habits from Customize to tick today's habits from the dashboard.

Choose your pages. Settings has a new Pages section: hide Habits, Routines, Inbox, Calendar or Insights from the menu and the dashboard. Hiding a page keeps everything in it, and showing it again brings it back as it was.

Fold the menu. The Daily, Growth and Other groups in the sidebar fold. The page you are on stays visible.

2.4.11 (November 2026)

Arrange your dashboard. Move, hide and add the cards you want. Free for everyone, and nothing changes until you choose to.

• Customize. Press Customize on the dashboard to drag cards (or use the arrows), hide the ones you don't use, add them back, or reset to the default. Changes save as you make them.
• Four new cards, hidden until you add them. Quick capture, Water & supplements, Mood check and Reach out (Reach out is part of Pro, like Connections).
• Your tools, your order. The row of tools under the dashboard arranges the same way. Which tools you have still follows your dimensions and your plan.

Connections (part of Pro).

• Several tags per person, in your own words.
• A contact goal. Say "about every 14 days" and the person shows a small Due marker once that time has passed. Nobody without a goal is ever marked Due.
• Who reached out. Log I reached out or They reached out.
• Sort and filter by name, time since contact or tag, and show only who is Due.
• The old 30-day warning mark is gone. Without a goal, nothing is flagged.

Your day follows your time zone. Entries are now filed under the day you lived them, in the time zone on your profile. Before, an evening entry could land on the next day. Older entries that had been filed under the wrong day were moved to the right one.

Small fixes.

• The last day of the month no longer drops out of the Finances month view on devices ahead of UTC, such as in Australia and Asia.
• Stepping back through months in Finances no longer skips a month when you start from the 31st.

2.4.10 (October 2026)

A new look across Xenith. Same monochrome, calmer and more consistent. No features were added or removed.

• Warm grays, no pure white or black. Light and dark both use softer tones, with Inter as the typeface. The Xenith "X" wordmark stays.
• A labeled sidebar. The sidebar now shows names next to the icons. Press Ctrl+B to collapse it back to the icon rail.
• One page header everywhere. Tools and trackers have a title, a link back to where you came from, and their main action in the same place.
• Flatter pages. Lists use thin dividers instead of a box around every row. Cards are kept for things that are a unit, like dashboard widgets and plans.
• Clearer fields. Inputs are filled and have a border that stays visible in light and dark.
• Real dialogs. Pickers that used to be hand-built overlays, like the Routines templates and the Unsplash picker, are now standard dialogs: Escape closes them and focus stays inside.
• New icons. One consistent set of line icons across the app. The Features page uses them instead of emoji.
• Emails match. Xenith emails use the same palette. The logo in emails is now a solid tile, so it no longer disappears when an email app switches to its own dark mode.
• Docs and the status page use the same palette.

Small fixes.

• Decisions and Values save again. The two Purpose tools were failing to save an entry. They save normally now.
• The top bar names Pricing. On the pricing page it said "Dashboard".

2.4.9 (October 2026)

Insights shows what moved, and lets you compare any two things.

• Trends, not tiles. For everything you track, Insights now shows how the last 7 days compare with the 4 weeks before, with an eight-week line and the sentence it came from. Anything without enough days yet sits in Still collecting and says what it needs. The fixed targets, the Strengths and Watch lists, the "Needs attention" labels and the red and green tile borders are gone. See Insights.
• Compare two things (Pro). Pick any two things you track, like sleep and mood or a supplement and your focus rating, on the same day or from one day to the next. You get the numbers, how many days each rests on, the range the gap could plausibly be in, and a chart. It is always a pattern in your data, never proof of cause.
• Patterns found in your days (Pro). Xenith looks through a short list of sensible pairs and shows up to three links that are clear enough to mention. Most people will see none for the first few weeks, which is normal.
• A try-it you choose (Pro). When a result is clear and the thing is a yes or no, you can add a small experiment to today. Nothing is added unless you press the button.
• The weekly brief is written from the page's own numbers (Pro). It now uses the same trend sentences you can see, so nothing in it comes from anywhere else, and it doesn't use up an attempt when there isn't enough logged yet.
• Your week is a tab in Insights. Where Your week is on, it is the This week tab, and older links still work. See Your week.

Small fixes.

• Sleep logs are read the way they are made. Sleep hours count as last night's sleep for the day of the log, and the caffeine, screen time, exercise and stress answers count for the day before.
• Colour is back on Insights. Each kind of thing has its own hue on its heading, card and chart, and the balance radar is purple again. Money is green when it comes in and red when it goes out, and your net is green or red by its sign.

2.4.8 (October 2026)

Focus tells you when time is up, and asks how it went.

• Focus rings when time is up. Pick a sound (soft bell, chime, marimba or gong) or turn it off, and preview each one before you choose. Pomodoro rings at the end of every focus block and every break. You can also turn on a notification for when the tab is in the background. It is off until you switch it on. A phone with a locked screen can still miss the sound, because a web page cannot wake itself; the mobile app is the fix for that. See Focus.
• Rate a session, if you want to. When a session ends, one tap from 1 to 5 (Rough, Low, Okay, Good, Great) says how it went. It is optional, you can change it, and Recent sessions shows it. In Pomodoro it asks once, when the run ends, about the last focus block. See Focus.
• More Focus sounds. Pink noise joins white and brown noise on Free. Ocean, wind and fireplace join the Pro sounds. All three are made in your browser, so they start instantly and work offline.
• Export your data in more formats. In Settings, Export my data now offers a daily-log CSV, a Markdown journal and a Word journal next to the full JSON backup. The daily log gains a focus_quality_1to5 column and the journal shows your focus ratings. See Settings.

Small fixes.

• The full JSON export no longer stops early on accounts with a lot of history.

2.4.7 (October 2026)

Try Pro for $1, and a shorter setup.

• Setup is shorter. Onboarding is now your name, a goal, one intention, your World, connecting tools and the Pro offer. Focus and rating your life dimensions are no longer part of it: Focus starts from your dashboard and you rate your dimensions on the Life Dimensions page. See Onboarding.
• A first week for $1. If you have never had Pro, you can start with 7 days for $1. After the week the monthly plan ($7.99) starts unless you cancel. We email you 2 days and 1 day before the first full charge. See Pro and billing.
• A walkthrough for Life Dimensions. The first time you open the page, a short, skippable walkthrough shows how to pick an area, rate it and read the weekly snapshots. Replay it any time with Show me around. If you took the Work-Life Balance Quiz, the page can offer its scores as this week's ratings when you press a button. See Life Dimensions.
• A clearer first-week offer. The offer step now says what Pro lets you do: track every part of life, talk things through with the Coach, follow a full Growth Path, get a written read of your week and run as many projects as you like.

Small fixes.

• Nothing sits under the quick capture button. The Life Dimensions walkthrough, the Worlds panel and its phone button, the Coach message box, and the end of long pages in the calendar, projects and databases all stay clear of the capture button in the bottom-right corner.
• The dashboard's columns end together. The Routines and Reflection cards now stretch to the bottom of the Projects card when it is the taller one.

2.4.6 (October 2026)

Worlds, redrawn: a full-screen 3D planet you can zoom into.

• A new planet. Your World is now a stylized 3D planet with mountains and snowy peaks, shorelines, forests, little towns that glow at night, clouds and animals on land, in the sea and in the air. Plants, towns and animals only ever appear as a region grows.
• Full screen, with zoom. The Worlds page fills the screen. Drag to turn, scroll or pinch to zoom down to ground level, point at a part of the planet to see its region and the numbers behind it, and click to fly there.
• A panel instead of sliders. The controls moved to a panel on the right (a sheet on phones) with Look, Sky, Regions and About tabs. New choices: how dramatic the mountains are, and animals on or off. Changes still preview live and save when you press Save.
• Worlds you already have keep their look settings; they just get the new planet. See Worlds.

Six new free tools, no account needed.

• New tools at xenith.life/tools: an Eisenhower Matrix Maker, a Time Blocking Planner, a Morning Routine Builder, a Weekly Review Generator, an Energy Audit and a Work-Life Balance Quiz. They join the Pomodoro Timer and the Wheel of Life.
• They run in your browser. What you enter is saved on your device only and is never uploaded. Each tool can copy its result as text and print it, and some download an image, a Markdown file or a calendar file.
• Calendar files. The Time Blocking Planner and the Morning Routine Builder can download an .ics file you can open in Apple Calendar, Outlook or, through import, Google Calendar.
• Bring a result into Xenith. If you sign up after using the Eisenhower Matrix Maker, the Time Blocking Planner or the Weekly Review Generator, onboarding can offer your result as your first intention. You choose whether to use it. See Free tools.

2.4.5 (October 2026)

A first week that comes back around: a reminder, a one-tap finish, and a planet that grows.

• Say when you'll do it. Under your first intention in onboarding, and in the add form for intentions, you can choose Email me around an hour. It is off until you pick one.
• Mark done from the reminder email. Each intention in the email has a link to a page with one button. Nothing changes until you press it, it works for 72 hours, and it only marks that intention done.
• Intentions in your calendar at their time. With a reminder hour set, an intention shows in your calendar link as a timed block instead of an all-day item.
• Worlds. A customizable planet that starts as bare rock and grows as you finish intentions, focus, do routines, reflect and write gratitude. It only goes up, never messages you, is free, and can be turned off in Settings. See Worlds.
• A Focus session and a reflection in onboarding. Onboarding is now nine steps: after your intention you can create your World, try a short Focus session on it, say how it went, and finish the intention from there. Every step after the intention can be skipped.
• A suggested goal. If you arrive from one of our feature pages or articles, the matching goal is highlighted in onboarding. It never picks for you.
• Your week (rolling out gradually). A calm look back at one week, plus your own reflections from a month and a year ago. See Your week.
• Privacy. The account activity events our servers record now also include when you mark an intention done from an email, when your World reaches a new stage, and the Focus session you start during onboarding. They are names of actions, counts and dates, never what you wrote. See Privacy & Data.

2.4.4 (October 2026)

A clearer account of how usage analytics work.

• Usage analytics, explained. Privacy & Data now separates the analytics that run in your browser (only after you accept the cookie banner) from a small set of account activity events recorded by Xenith's servers without cookies: sign-ins, onboarding progress, first use of a core feature, and which days you were active. They are names of actions, counts and dates, never what you wrote. You can ask us to stop recording them or delete them.

2.4.3 (October 2026)

Bring your notes in, and work with databases.

• Import into Projects. Copy pages and databases from Notion, documents from Google Docs and Word files into a project. You review what will be imported before anything is added, a report lists what carried over and what didn't, and importing again never overwrites your edits. Free on every plan. See Import into Projects.
• Databases. Rows with typed columns (text, number, select, status, date, checkbox, people, files, relations and more), shown as a table, board, gallery or list, with filters, sorts and a notes page behind every row.
• Keep a Notion database in sync (opt-in). After importing a Notion database, you can sync it both ways. It is off until you turn it on, starts with a preview, keeps your value when both sides change a cell and asks you, and never deletes a row without your say.
• A richer editor. Toggles, callouts, columns, bookmarks, file blocks, code with highlighting, headings up to level 6, page icons and covers, and links to other pages and databases (/Link to page, /Link to database).
• Connect Google Docs and Notion for import from the Connect your tools step in onboarding.
• The one-project limit on the free plan is now enforced by the server, not just the screen. Nothing changes if you stay within it.

2.4.2 (October 2026)

Less typing: bring your calendars, tasks and bank statements in.

• Connect your tools is free. Calendar Sync with Google Calendar and Notion no longer needs Pro. A new optional Connect your tools step in onboarding lets you switch on only what you want, and Xenith asks each app for just that.
• Tasks from the apps you already use. Connect Todoist, Microsoft To Do or Google Tasks and tasks due soon appear in a From your tools card on your dashboard. Add one to today with a tap, or dismiss it. Nothing is created for you.
• Two-way sync for Microsoft To Do and Google Tasks (opt-in). Finish something in either place and it shows as done in the other. Off until you turn it on, and Xenith never deletes a task in your task app.
• Apple Calendar. A private, read-only calendar link shows your intentions and events in Apple Calendar or any app that can follow a link.
• Import transactions from a CSV. Bring in a bank or card export in Finances; duplicates are skipped and you see a preview first.
• A shorter start. Onboarding is now six steps. The Focus session and the separate dimension picker are gone; your goal decides which three dimensions Xenith keeps in view and shows them as you choose. A new optional step lets you rate where you are in each dimension, and Back and Forward buttons let you review or change anything. Your dashboard offers a first Focus session instead. See Onboarding.
• A new dashboard. A wider layout with a greeting, today's intentions and focus time, a week view, a balance wheel for your eight dimensions, and your tools ordered by the dimensions you chose. Pro tools show as compact locked tiles instead of a blurred preview.
• Sign-in and connection hardening. Connection requests now expire after 10 minutes and can only be used once.

2.4.1 (October 2026)

A more useful free plan, and a reason to come back tomorrow.

• Free is bigger. The calorie tracker (with the Biometric Wizard), Books and Finance transactions are now free. Coach is free for 3 messages a day (Pro has 10). Everyone can build one Growth Path and use its first two tiers; Pro opens every tier and all eight dimensions.
• Upgrade prompts say what they are for. Each Pro tool, the Coach limit and the Growth tiers now explain what you would get, instead of a generic lock.
• Still open. Intentions you did not finish stay visible for 14 days, with Keep for today, Done and Let it go. Nothing is archived for you.
• Finish what you started. After a Focus session linked to an intention, a card asks how it went, and a Growth step can become today's intention in one tap.
• Optional email reminders. Pick an hour when you add an intention and get one email with what is still open. Off unless you choose it; has its own unsubscribe.
• Your day, your time zone. "Today" for intentions, carry-over and Coach limits now follows your profile time zone everywhere.
• Security. Growth Path generation now requires you to be signed in and uses your own account only. Cached data no longer carries over between accounts on a shared browser.

2.4.0 (September 2026)

A shorter first ten minutes.

• Onboarding now leads with doing, not configuring. Pick one goal, set one intention, give it 10 minutes in a real Focus session, then a quick 3-question reflection, before you're asked to rate or set up all eight Life Dimensions. Skipping the Focus session never blocks you from finishing; your dashboard shows a one-time reminder for the next 24 hours instead.
• Fixed the bottom-right corner of the app getting crowded on smaller screens. The quick-capture button, install prompts, and notification toasts no longer stack on top of each other. Feedback now opens from the command palette (⌘K) instead of a permanent floating button.
• Focus session timers now keep accurate time even if your browser tab was backgrounded or throttled, instead of drifting.

2.3.4 (September 2026)

Bug fixes and a billing cleanup.

• Removed the 7-day money-back guarantee and the self-serve refund option. Subscriptions are billed in advance and are non-refundable except where required by law. Email us with billing questions and we'll take a look.
• If our email provider is briefly rate-limited during a signup spike, you'll now see a clear status message instead of a raw error when confirming your email or resending the confirmation link.
• Fixed a homepage error (Safari) caused by malformed structured data.
• A stray browser extension crashing the sign-in or onboarding page no longer takes down the whole screen. You'll see a "Something went wrong, refresh" message scoped to that page instead.
• Signup and onboarding-completion requests now retry once on a transient network failure (most common on iOS) instead of failing silently.
• If your Google Calendar connection needs reconnecting, you'll now get an email about it, and Settings shows a clear "Reconnect" prompt, not just the Calendar page.

2.3.3 (September 2026)

Reliability and accuracy fixes.

• Billing confirmations are now sent exactly once per subscription, even if our payment provider retries or re-sends an event.
• API rate limits are now exact and visible. Every API response carries X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers, and 429 responses include Retry-After. Parallel requests can no longer slip past the 60-per-minute limit. See the API reference.
• Onboarding now counts your intentions step as done only once they've actually been saved.
• The status page now shows "Status Unknown" instead of "All Systems Operational" when its monitoring data is unavailable or out of date.

2.3.2 (September 2026)

A real timeline for Calendar, and a smoother first week.

• Gantt/Timeline view for Calendar. Multi-day events and plans now show as spanning bars you can drag to reshape, while shorter, single-day items shrink down to quick markers so your daily plan stays legible next to longer efforts. Multi-day spans now sync both ways with Google Calendar and Notion, not just their start day. See Calendar Sync.
• Onboarding now shows you around. A new step previews Routines, Reflection, Calendar, Projects, and Insights before you dive in, so the rest of Xenith isn't something you find by accident.
• A proper welcome for Pro members. A one-time tour points you toward Growth Paths and Calendar Sync the first time your account is Pro.
• "Start a focus session" now actually starts one. Onboarding's launch button used to leave you on an idle timer; it begins your first session automatically now. See Focus.
• Install prompts now work outside Chrome. iPhone and iPad visitors get real "Add to Home Screen" instructions instead of nothing, and dismissing the install banner now wears off after 30 days instead of hiding it forever.
• Reminders, asked for at a better moment. The push-notification prompt moved out of onboarding to right after you've actually installed Xenith, the only moment on iPhone where turning them on can actually work.
• Early-supporter accounts now see accurate messaging on the pricing page instead of a prompt to upgrade to something they already have.
• Fixed dimension ratings occasionally not saving during onboarding.
• Fixed Calendar sync failing silently when a connected Google account needed to be reconnected. You'll now see a clear reconnect prompt instead.
• Various reliability improvements to Calendar sync and notifications.

2.3.1 (September 2026)

Repeating intentions, a real editor for Projects, and a smarter Focus timer.

• Repeating intentions. Set an intention once on a weekly or monthly schedule instead of retyping it every day. Each occurrence still gets its own review. See Daily Intentions.
• Focus timer task linking. Point a session at one of today's intentions from the setup screen; its title stays visible for the whole session. See Focus.
• Projects editor, leveled up. Font family and text alignment controls, image upload (from your device or searched directly from Unsplash), basic tables, inline/block math via KaTeX, and a project cover image. See Projects.
• Daily check-in now follows your account, not just your browser, so "done for today" stays consistent across devices. Brand new accounts also skip the redundant prompt right after onboarding. See Daily Check-in.
• Calendar Sync (Google Calendar & Notion) is now part of Xenith Pro. The Calendar itself, and everything else it does, stays free. See Calendar Sync.
• Coach's daily message limit raised from 3 to 10.
• Fixed two-way Calendar sync sometimes applying the wrong timezone to pulled events, along with a handful of smaller Calendar display and sign-in error message bugs.

2.3.0 (August 2026)

Pro is here.

• Xenith Pro. A paid plan alongside the free plan. It includes every Life Dimension's tracking tool: Biometrics/Calories/Water/Workouts (Health), Daily Gratitude/Thought Audit (Mind), Energy & Tasks/Wins & Losses (Work), Connections (Relationships), Transactions (Finances), Books (Learning), Sleep/Recharge (Rest), and Values/Decisions (Purpose). It also adds AI Coach and Growth Paths, every Focus soundscape, unlimited Projects, and priority support. Each dimension's score and the 8-point overview stay free regardless of plan. The free plan stays real and complete: daily intentions, Focus timer, reflection, routines, the Life Dimensions overview, Insights, and one project, forever. See the FAQ for the full breakdown and xenith.life/app/pricing to compare plans or upgrade.
• Billing by Stripe. Subscriptions are billed and managed through Stripe's hosted checkout and billing portal, so Xenith never sees or stores your card details. Cancel anytime from Settings; new subscriptions include a 7-day money-back guarantee, self-serve from Settings.
• Cookie consent. A first-visit banner now lets you accept or reject non-essential analytics cookies; essential cookies (sign-in, core functionality) are unaffected. Manage your choice anytime from the Cookie & Tracking Policy.
• Fixed a layout issue where nutrition macro tags and finance category labels could overflow their card on narrow screens.

2.2.0 (July 2026)

Bring your own calendar, and build on top of Xenith.

• Two-way Calendar sync (Google Calendar & Notion). Connect from the Calendar page or Settings. Events you create or edit in Xenith push to the connected provider, and events from the provider pull into Xenith. Sync runs automatically when you open the Calendar, on demand with "Sync now", and daily in the background as a backstop. See Calendar Sync.
• Public API (v1). Issue an API key in Settings and read/write your intentions, focus sessions, and dimension scores from your own scripts and tools. See the API Reference.

2.1.0 (July 2026)

Out of beta, and your data is truly yours.

• Xenith is out of beta. Same calm, no-streaks app you've been using, now on its stable 2.x release line.
• Delete account now means delete. Removing your account permanently and immediately erases all of your data (every entry, across every dimension), and there's no way to recover it. Your data is yours; when you leave, it's gone for good. See Privacy & Data.
• Fixed a handful of display and loading glitches, including profile avatars and in-app analytics.
• Behind-the-scenes security and reliability improvements.

1.5.0 (June 2026)

Focus, refined.

• New and improved soundscapes. Added Rain & Thunder, plus a gentle fade-in for Lo-fi. White and brown noise are generated locally so they start instantly and work offline.
• Custom session durations. Set any length alongside the presets.
• Full-screen Focus mode and a session goal field, so you can name what you're working on and give it your whole attention.
• Volume control inside the timer, plus a quiet fallback to generated noise if a track can't load.
• Soundscapes now stream from a dedicated CDN for faster, more reliable playback.

1.4.0 (May 2026)

Meet your AI growth tools.

• Growth Paths. Describe a long-term goal and Xenith generates a structured, step-by-step path you can work through at your own pace.
• Coach. A built-in AI sounding board for thinking through decisions, stuck projects, and goals, grounded in Xenith's deliberate-living approach.
• Reaffirmed our commitment: your private entries are never used to train AI models. See Privacy & Data.

1.3.0 (April 2026)

Gentle reminders, never nagging.

• Push notifications. Opt in to quiet nudges for intentions, routines, and reflection. No streak-loss warnings, ever.
• Install to home screen on mobile for an app-like experience with notifications.
• Reliability and error-monitoring improvements behind the scenes.

1.2.0 (March 2026)

See the bigger picture.

• Insights dashboard. Focus trends, intentions completion, mood and energy, and an at-a-glance life-balance view across your dimensions.
• Calendar. A time-based view of your activity and plans.
• Inbox & Quick Capture. Jot a thought from anywhere and process it later.

1.1.0 (February 2026)

Deeper dimension tools.

• Health gained a biometrics wizard and dedicated calorie, water, and workout trackers.
• Mind added the Thought Audit (a CBT-inspired reframe) alongside Daily Gratitude.
• Work added Energy & Tasks matching and a Wins & Losses journal.
• New tools across Relationships (Connections), Finances (Transactions), Learning (Books), Rest (Sleep, Recharge), and Purpose (Values, Decisions).

1.0.0 (January 2026)

Public beta launch.

• Eight Life Dimensions to track and balance.
• The core daily loop: Daily Intentions, Routines, and Reflection.
• The Focus timer with ambient audio.
• A distraction-free Projects workspace.
• Secure sign-in (email and password, Google, or Microsoft) and a calm, dark-by-default interface.
• And, on principle: no streaks, anywhere.
