Tuesday, June 2, 2026
Fixes
- Focana now waits longer before opening the resume prompt after your Mac wakes.
- The What's next? screen now fits properly, including the Next button.
- Resume prompts no longer pulse right away when they appear.
- Timer-end prompts no longer pulse unnecessarily as the timer finishes.

Release Version 1.7.1
Thursday, May 21, 2026
Fixes
- Fixed a macOS window issue that could make Focana close unexpectedly during floating or Session Wrap handoffs.
- Fixed the Done for now path from Pause so Focana reliably returns to the floating icon instead of disappearing from view.
- Fixed wake re-entry timing so Focana opens the return-to-work prompt promptly after your Mac wakes.
- Improved packaged smoke coverage for pause, floating, and wake-related handoffs so these flows are checked before release.
Release Version 1.7.0
Tuesday, May 19, 2026
Improvements
- Added an auto re-entry rule so interrupted work can come back in the right surface without asking you to rebuild context from scratch.
- Added an app-managed trial and upgrade flow that makes activation, upgrade prompts, and packaged release behavior clearer.
- Improved resident app flows so relaunching, waking, quitting, and returning from compact or floating mode preserve focus more intentionally.
- Pause now opens a dismissible Session Wrap, letting you keep working, mark the task complete, take a break, start something new, or save the paused session for later.
Fixes
- Fixed direct completion and wake re-entry paths so saved work and next-step prompts stay aligned after interruptions.
- Fixed compact quit behavior and startup window selection edge cases that could leave Focana in the wrong surface.
- Improved shortcut and check-in focus handling so temporary global actions return attention to the right place.
- Added release safeguards for analytics configuration and expanded packaged-flow coverage around floating, compact, and pause session states.
Release Version 1.6.0
Thursday, April 23, 2026
Improvements
- Added Launch at login in Settings so Focana can open automatically when you sign in.
- Startup now uses a clearer set of surfaces: clean starts open the normal idle window, while interrupted or resumable work comes back in clearer resume states.
- Quit confirmation now offers Cancel, Minimize, Hide, and Quit so it is easier to keep Focana resident instead of accidentally shutting it down.
Fixes
- Restoring from floating minimize now more reliably returns to the correct window state instead of surfacing stale hidden-window state.
- Sleep, relaunch, and update restart flows now preserve interrupted work more consistently across startup and resume.
- Release tooling now finds shared .env.release files from the main checkout when you run ship flows from a fresh worktree.
Release Version 1.5.1
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
Improvements
- Resume prompts now use a tighter layout in both full and compact windows, with copy and spacing that keep the key actions visible more consistently.
- The re-entry chooser now labels the active task more clearly so it is easier to confirm what you are picking back up.
Fixes
- If you choose Start Something New from a resumable prompt, you can now mark the saved task complete with recap and next steps instead of being forced to keep it open.
- Resume and save-for-later surfaces now size more reliably so notes fields and controls are less likely to feel cramped.
Release Version 1.5.0
Wednesday, April 22, 2026
Improvements
- Session Wrap now offers clearer next steps: Take a break, Keep working, Start a new task, or Done for now.
- Keep working now supports a faster timed restart flow, including Enter-to-start from the post-session timer field.
- Break mode now lets you choose whether minimizing shows the countdown timer, with quicker click behavior for returning to work.
- Idle nudges now ask “What’s next?” and keep Session History and Parking Lot easy to reach from the re-entry prompt.
Fixes
- Timed sessions now hand off directly into Session Wrap instead of getting stranded at 00:00 or falling into a separate timeout modal.
- Post-session notes and follow-up screens now size more reliably so actions and text fields stay visible.
- Break-time floating interactions now behave more predictably whether the countdown is hidden or shown.
Release Version 1.4.0
Tuesday, April 21, 2026
Improvements
- Ending a session now opens a guided post-session flow with Take a break, Start another session, and Done for now.
- Session notes are now split into Immediate next step and Additional details so restart cues stay separate from background context.
- Starting another session after a wrap-up now drops you into a clean composer with Parking Lot and Session History close by.
- Keep for Later is now available as a global shortcut with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+K for quick Parking Lot capture.
- Focused check-ins now support Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Y for a quick Yes response when Focana is frontmost.
Fixes
- Floating re-entry prompts now stay in the floating flow more reliably instead of unexpectedly restoring the main window.
- Save for Later, break, and done-for-now handoffs now preserve task continuity more reliably across full, compact, and floating windows.
- The new post-session and notes screens now size more cleanly so actions and text fields stay visible.

Fixes
