What’s new in version 2024.1.2
- Directly sync with Apple Calendar in read-only mode. Ideal for users with restricted third-party access to work accounts. New account option under Settings > Accounts > New Account > Apple Calendar
- Dates in the Menu app have been redesigned for clearer visibility, making it easier to read the dates
- Task list improvements. Task priorities can now be changed directly from the task list by clicking on the new priority drop-down button. Dates / times now display below the title so that more of your titles can show in a single line.
- When sorting Task list by date, hovering your mouse over the date sections will display the number of days remaining until that date
- Task list now shows indicators for embedded contacts, tags, locations, URLs and attachments. These can be optionally turned off from under Settings > Tasks
- Task list can now display both a location name and a preview of notes, directly beneath the task title, for easier access and reference
- New accessibility option to disable auto-enabling of calendars after a drag and drop
- New option under Todoist Account Settings to hide tasks assigned to others
- Now, when you drag and move multiple events, they'll shift based on their original dates. To move them all to the same date instead, hold down the shift key
- Quickly respond to multiple meeting invites using the option+click context menu
- All duplicated events are now automatically selected in the calendar
- Improved handling of non-standard characters in parsed ics files
- Fixed bug where the "Darken text" appearance setting stopped working
- Fixed bug where the availability viewer would turn blank after switching to a date that wasn't visible on the main calendar
- Fixed a sync issue with Todoist where bogus carriage return \r characters in notes copied from Microsoft To Do would trip the server
- Ongoing stability improvements

Version: 2024.1.2
Works fine. I bought it mainly because it looks better that Apple's calendar. Now the upgrade costs are too high and frequent for me. A regular + pro licences could have done it for me, not shelling out ~$30 quite often.

Great app but it constantly quits. I'm just going to use Calendar 366 (less features) but more reliable.

Still using version 3.12 and very happy with it. However with new subscription thing I will not upgrade. When 3.12 stops working I wll switch unless pricing is fixed. For non-business personnal use it is great but way too costly (a restricted version could be interesting, too).
