Two weeks ago we shipped boss raids and rebuilt challenges. We are back already, because that is the deal.

We swore we would never do habits

Here is the thing we say constantly: SubTasks is built on tasks, not habits. The whole reason this app exists is that the other apps treat everything like a recurring routine, and a dynamic is not a routine. A dynamic is “write me a reflection on last night” and “wear what I picked out.” Specific. Assigned. Alive.

All of that is still true. The task is still the heart of the app.

But some things genuinely do repeat. Water intake. A nightly check-in. A bad habit somebody is trying to cut down. And you have been asking for a way to track those for a very long time. So we built it, on our terms.

Habits live in their own tab, separate from your tasks. Each one has a target over a window you choose: so many times a day, a week, or a month. Track the habits worth building more of, or the ones worth doing less of, and the app keeps score either way. Taskers can reward hitting the target and attach consequences for blowing past a limit. Taskees log each one, with a note or photo proof if the Tasker requires it, and the Tasker reviews.

One thing we were careful about: rewards are capped. A habit you can log ten times a day is not a points printer. You set the ceiling, the economy stays balanced, and nobody games it.

Your task list grew up

If your dynamic runs five tasks, the daily view is perfect. If it runs forty, you have felt the pain. The daily list was built for doing today’s tasks, not for managing a library of them.

So there is a new task management view. Every task you have ever created, in one place. Group them by status (active, paused, inactive), by frequency, or by type. Sort by newest, by point value, alphabetically, however your brain works. Find the one task buried in the pile, see what is paused that should not be, clean house.

This is the tool for Taskers who run a real economy. The ones tuning point scales and reward tiers and consequence structures over months. You were never really managing a to-do list. Now the app admits it.

Pick a better name

The username you typed in a hurry the night you signed up is no longer a life sentence. Change it whenever you want, in Settings. That is the whole feature. You asked, it was annoying, it is fixed.

The quiet stuff

A few smaller things landed in the same cycle:

  • Taskees can nudge. A little “hey, I’m here” tap when you are waiting on your Tasker. Sometimes the dynamic needs a poke from the other direction.
  • A setup checklist for new dynamics. Opening a fresh app to a blank screen is rough. New dynamics now get a short checklist that turns “what do I even do here” into a few clear first steps.
  • Sofia eased up. The notification copy got a pass. She is still going to remind you about that overdue task, but she is cheeky about it now instead of mean.
  • Bugs. The usual cleanup. A task-edit crash, a frequency bug, some safe-area glitches on phones with notches. You will not notice these, which is the point.

That is the update. Questions, feedback, or your thoughts on any of it: hello@subtasksapp.com. We read everything.
