We've listened to your feedback and delivered some of our most powerful enhancements yet: a dynamic new way to spotlight what's important to you, smarter task breakdowns, improved readability across devices, and a major upgrade to how you manage and structure labels. Whether you're planning, filtering, or presenting, these updates make it easier than ever to stay focused, informed, and in control.

✨ Highlights in this release

• 🔍 Introducing Focus Mode: Easily highlight the tasks and elements that matter most—without hiding the rest.

• 🔄 Smarter Task Splitting: Quickly break long tasks into smaller chunks, with control over timing and dependencies.

🔍 Introducing Focus Mode

Stay focused without losing context. The new Focus Mode allows you to visually highlight only the elements that matter to you based on type, status, team, assignee, label, and more—while still keeping the rest visible for collaboration.

• Press Ctrl + Shift + F (or F2) to activate Focus Mode.
• Use the filter panel to spotlight by task type, trade, assignee, completion status, or custom labels.
• Jump between highlighted items with the F key.
• Focus Mode works across the full workspace, including Overview and annotations.
• Selections in Focus Mode only affect filtered items, making bulk edits simpler.

💡 Perfect for large planning sessions, mind maps, or cleanup tasks—Focus Mode puts the spotlight where you need it most.

📋 Organized Labels with Categories

A cleaner, smarter way to manage labels. We’ve redesigned how labels work to help you stay organized and efficient, especially in workspaces with many labels.

• New label editor in the Control Center gives more room to view and manage labels.
• Label assignment panel automatically expands based on your number of labels.
• Create custom categories like "Names" or "Areas" to structure your labels.
• Easily assign labels to categories, reorder them, and customize colors.

💡 This is just the beginning—expect more powerful label filtering and insights soon!

🔄 Smarter Task Splitting

Break down complex tasks in just a few clicks. The enhanced task splitting tool lets you slice long tasks into smaller pieces for more granular planning and status tracking.

• Split by specific days of the week (e.g., every Monday) or by fixed durations (e.g., every 3 days).
• Automatically reconnect dependencies between new subtasks.
• Choose whether to include completed tasks and control which states are split.
• Use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + S for quick access.
• Replan and visualize subtasks efficiently with smart default positioning and clean-up tools.

💡 Ideal for weekly planning, daily huddles, or fine-tuned progress tracking.

🔢 Dynamic Timeline Text Sizing

Improved readability no matter how you view your plan. We've reintroduced dynamic text sizing on the timeline so you can always read dates and week numbers—whether you're zoomed in on a laptop or presenting on a large screen.

• Text adjusts automatically with zoom level.
• New control for selecting base text size based on your screen setup.
• Available via the Page Options in the Control Center.

💡 Get clarity and consistency when navigating or presenting your timeline, anywhere and anytime.

We’re excited for you to explore these new features and would love to hear your feedback. As always, thank you for building with Hoylu!
