Changelog

Notable changes to Xenith, newest first. We ship improvements often.

Check the status page for real-time service health.

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 — 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 pointing you toward Growth Paths and Calendar Sync, shown 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 — "done for today" stays consistent across devices, and brand new accounts 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: 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) — plus 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 — 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 — 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.
