Good news, I built a system to take my code changes and generate change logs faster 😮
1. Todoist Integration
Connect your Todoist account to sync tasks between Ellie and Todoist. Filter by projects, sections, labels, and priorities to import exactly the tasks you need.
2. Task Templates (iOS)
Create reusable task templates that you can quickly drag onto your calendar to create new tasks. Perfect for recurring workflows or common task types.
3. Better Slack Integration settings
Configure how tasks created from Slack behave—set default dates, lists, and enable AI Auto-Fill for tasks created from Slack messages.
4. Mobile Floating Timer
A new floating timer on mobile devices lets you track time on tasks without losing sight of your work. Start, pause, stop, and complete tasks directly from the timer.
5. Default Launch Page (iOS)
Choose which page Ellie opens to when you launch the app. Set your preferred starting point in Personalization settings.
6. Better Event Layout (iOS)
Events on your calendar now display in a cleaner column-based layout, similar to Google Calendar. Overlapping events are arranged side-by-side for better visibility.

Improvements
Completely Rebuilt Drag & Drop (iOS)
The entire drag-and-drop system on iOS has been rebuilt from the ground up:
- Smoother animations and haptic feedback
- Auto-scroll when dragging near edges
- Drag tasks directly to your calendar to schedule them
- Delete or move tasks using drop zones
- Task templates can be dragged to create new tasks
Enhanced Daily Shutdown Ritual
The shutdown ritual now uses a temporary drag-and-drop system—move tasks between "completed" and "missed" columns before finalizing. You can also add tasks you forgot to log and toggle between Lists and Task Templates in the sidebar during planning.
Notion Integration Refinements
- Better handling of label properties and filters
- Improved performance with less flickering during loading
- Cleaner workspace selection
Analytics Preferences Remembered
Your filter selections, date ranges, and chart settings in Analytics are now saved and restored between sessions.
Recurring Tasks improvements on web
When you navigate to a date that wasn't previously loaded, recurring tasks are now automatically generated for that day.
Improved Duration Picker
Minutes now display with leading zeros (e.g., "05" instead of "5") for a cleaner look.
Better Subscription Management
Clearer messaging for subscription status, easier access to invoices and plan changes through the customer portal.
