Performance, Stability, and Polish - Everdo 1.10.4
In the first release of 2026, we are rolling out a significant update for the desktop application. This release focuses on performance, bug fixes, improved stability and a few feature enhancements.
Performance & Stability
Native Apple Silicon Support: We now provide a Universal build for MacOS. Users on M-series chips should see improved startup times and battery efficiency compared to the Intel build running via Rosetta.
Graceful Handling of System Clock Jumps: Previously, if the OS clock was set incorrectly to a future date or jumped significantly, the scheduler for repeating actions could malfunction, potentially generating thousands of unintended actions. The app now detects these anomalies and pauses execution, allowing you to fix the system clock or adjust the repeating rules safely.
Privacy-First Error Reporting System: We have introduced a new first-party implementation for crash and error reporting in the desktop app. This replaces previous mechanisms with a more reliable form that submits reports directly to us, ensuring complete privacy and faster triage of stability issues. When you first run the new Everdo version, you might see the "Report Error" button appear. This likely means the system detected an error that happened in the past. To hide the button, you can either submit the report, or discard it.
Quick Capture
We have made a number of improvements to Quick Capture behavior.
Quick Capture Positioning: The Quick Capture window no longer attempts to remember its last position, which caused issues on multi-monitor setups or when displays were disconnected. - Standard Behavior: The window will now always open at the center of the display that currently holds the mouse pointer. - Linux (Wayland): Due to protocol limitations regarding cursor tracking, Quick Capture will always open on the primary display on Wayland systems.
Initial Focus Issues: Addressed a bug where the Quick Capture window failed to gain focus immediately on certain systems.
Main Window Focus: Resolved an issue where the main window would jump to the foreground when Quick Capture was submitted or dismissed.
Window and Layout Behavior
Standard Quit on MacOS: The app no longer quits when the main window is closed. It now follows the standard MacOS convention (application remains running; use Cmd+Q to quit).
Initial Window Size: Fixed a bug occurring on first launch where the window would initialize too small to fit contents or too large to fit the display.
Layout Breaking Due to Scroll: Fixed a UI rendering issue caused by pressing Page Up in specific contexts.
Layout Breaking Due to External Display Disconnection: Fixed navigation panel layout corruption occurring when an external display is disconnected.
Other Fixes & Improvements
Trash Management: You can now permanently delete individual items from the Trash, rather than being forced to empty the entire Trash at once.
Scheduling in Some Timezones: Fixed scheduling errors for users in timezones with offsets greater than +12 hours (e.g., New Zealand).
Keyboard Shortcuts: Fixed an issue where custom shortcuts involving the Esc key were not registering.
Tag Duplication on First Sync: Fixed the Home and Work areas getting duplicated when sync first runs in cases where Everdo is installed on more than one desktop system.
Default Areas no Longer Removed: The Home and Work tags are no longer removed when you click "Delete Tutorial" after installing Everdo on a new device.
Go to created project shortcut: The shortcut now works not only for created projects, but also for the items converted to a project via the editor or the inline : p command.
Miscellaneous: Minor styling and wording improvements throughout the app.
