Hobba: To-Do List & Kanban

About Hobba: To-Do List & Kanban

You can now drag and drop tasks — a bar opens the moment you pick one up. On top of that, a rebuilt Appearance with more colours, widgets that fill a whole Home Screen page, and Hobba speaks Japanese. DRAG INSTEAD OF TAP Pick up a task and a bar appears along the bottom: Date, Project, Focus, Tags and Delete. Move onto one of the fields and what lies behind it grows upwards — under Date that is Today, Evening, Tomorrow, Someday and Upcoming. Behind Upcoming you now get five weeks at once: a dot under the figure tells you where something already sits, and past days accept nothing. Letting go is enough, and a tap takes it back. It works with several selected tasks at once as well. On iPad the bar sits along the right edge in landscape, on Mac vertically beside the window — and with a mouse or trackpad on iPad the drag now starts with no wait at all. What you pick up follows your finger without lagging behind. MORE COLOURS, FEWER MENUS Settings › Appearance has been rebuilt: appearance, style and widgets are switches instead of menus. On top of that, six new backgrounds, ten accent colours and a picker for one of your own, separate pages for the icon and the background, and a preview that shows every choice at once. Your accent colour no longer stops at the app either: the widgets, the Lock Screen and the watch all carry the same shade. And “Minimal” now keeps your background instead of clearing it away. PROJECTS WITH ONE SWIPE Swipe a project row in the overview to the left: the glass draws back and frees a “•••” — favourite, appearance, share and delete. ONE THING AT A TIME On the Mac, focus no longer lies over everything; it opens a small window of its own, so you carry on working beside it. And the fifteen minutes are back: 5, 15 or 25 are there to choose everywhere. IT KEEPS MOVING Push the same task away from today for the fourth time and a line appears in the opened card: “Postponed 4 times already. Break it up or set it aside?” Two handles beside it. No sound, no sheet. WIDGETS THAT FILL A WHOLE PAGE From iOS 27 on, Today (large), Upcoming, Tasks and the new project board also come in a size that fills an entire Home Screen page: every event of the day instead of two, twice as many task rows — and you can tick things off without opening the app. On iPad the same four also come in the wide format, in two columns. And you can now change the size right on the Home Screen: nine of the ten widgets take it. The new project board shows every list with its progress. JAPANESE The whole interface is now available in Japanese as well, and titles are read the same way there. That makes the app fully available in German, English, French and Japanese. ALSO The “Add task” shortcut now takes your text the way the entry field would: “buy milk tomorrow at 6pm” gets a day and a reminder. On Apple Watch Ultra, the Action button can open a new task. Empty lists now tell you how they fill up. And when iOS rebuilds its search index, Hobba fills it again straight away. FIXED A task with “Saturday” in its title quietly got a reminder at twelve noon. A German title containing “hier” was given yesterday’s date. In French, times like “10h” and “14 heures” were read over. Ticking something off the overdue block in Today made the remaining overdue tasks count as due today. On iPhone the search field sat behind the Dynamic Island. In the overview a dropped task could land in the wrong list after scrolling, and a project could not be picked up in the top third. On iPad the dragged “+” created nothing in the week grid. An open sheet now ends a running drag. And leaving a board or the week grid for the overview no longer costs a pause.
