Changelog

Every release, from the first build to what's on the App Store today.

What's New Version 1.3 Available now

A new name, and an app that reads your semester.

1.3 is the release where Duelight stopped being a list you fill in and started being something that understands what's actually urgent. It also got a new name and a new icon.

Canvas Smart Sync

Connect your Canvas account directly for grades, submission status, and assignments that check themselves off when you turn them in.

On-device assistant

Ask about your workload in plain language. It runs entirely on your iPhone — nothing about your coursework leaves the device.

Knows what's urgent

Weighs deadlines, grade weight, and how much work each thing really is, so the top of your list is the thing to actually start.

Reminders with context

A morning read on the day ahead, a Friday wind-down, and a Sunday look at the week — written around your real workload.

Siri & Shortcuts

Add a task, check what's due today, or open your top assignment without unlocking into the app.

Duelight

TaskFlow became Duelight, with a new icon built around light cresting a horizon.

Full history

Everything that's shipped, newest first.

1.3 April – August 2026 Current

Shipped in April and updated steadily through the summer. The App Store shows one version number; these are the waves inside it.

August

  • TaskFlow is now Duelight, with a new app icon.
  • School sign-ins are kept instead of being silently discarded, so you don't re-authenticate every time.
  • Genericized the school search examples so they don't read as one specific district.
  • Fixed the assistant's input bar and send button drifting out of alignment.

July

  • Siri and Shortcuts support — add a task, check today's work, or jump to your top assignment by voice.
  • Long-press a task and it now expands smoothly out of the row instead of appearing over it.
  • Assorted fixes to the assistant's follow-up handling and quick-action pills.

June

  • The assistant can now act, not just answer — it creates, reschedules, completes, and splits tasks, and shows you what it did with an undo.
  • New prioritization engine that ranks work by deadline, grade weight, and whether it actually needs doing.
  • Daily context reminders: a morning kickoff, a Friday wind-down, and a Sunday look at the week ahead.
  • Settings, theme, and preferences now sync across your devices through iCloud.
  • Canvas sign-ins persist between launches instead of expiring constantly.
  • Sync failures now say what actually went wrong — offline, Canvas outage, expired login — instead of failing generically.
  • Tapping a notification opens the task it's about.
  • Themes now shift with the time of day, and completing a task has its own haptic.
  • A failed update can no longer destroy your data — the app backs up its database and tells you what happened instead of starting over silently.

April

  • Canvas Smart Sync: connect your account for grades, submission status, points, and automatic check-off when you submit.
  • Guided setup that finds your school and walks you through connecting.
  • Rebuilt task detail view with grades, submission state, and Canvas links.
  • Task cards now show submission status and grade impact at a glance.
1.2.9 April 2026
  • Calendar layout and spacing refinements.
  • Theme picker polish and more consistent colour handling.
1.2.8 March 2026
  • Greatly expanded theme customization — accent colours, appearance, and previews.
  • Statistics, task detail, and task cards all got a visual pass.
  • Tightened typography and spacing across the app.
1.2.6 March 2026

The app used to ship with its own bundled language model. This release replaced it with Apple's on-device intelligence.

  • Switched the assistant to Apple's built-in on-device models — dramatically smaller download, faster responses, still fully private.
  • Removed the bundled model and its download flow entirely.
  • Simplified the assistant and calendar screens.
1.2.4 March 2026
  • Substantial home screen rework — filtering, sorting, and layout.
1.2.3 March 2026
  • Canvas setup made clearer and harder to get stuck in.
1.2.2 March 2026
  • Themes arrive — pick an accent colour and appearance for the whole app.
1.2 March 2026
  • Home screen refinements to how tasks group and sort.
1.1.x March 2026
  • Rebuilt Canvas calendar setup with in-app school sign-in.
  • Large home screen expansion — greeting, filters, and task grouping.
  • Various fixes to importing and de-duplicating Canvas assignments.
1.0 March 2026 First release

Duelight — then TaskFlow — arrived on the App Store after a TestFlight run.

  • Import your assignments automatically from your Canvas calendar link.
  • Home screen that sorts your work by what's due next.
  • Home screen widget showing what to do now.
  • Smart reminders ahead of every deadline.
  • Task detail, categories, priorities, and notes.
  • Calendar and week views.
  • Statistics on what you've finished.
  • Deleted tasks kept for 30 days so nothing is lost by accident.
  • Export your tasks.
  • Pull to refresh, and course names cleaned up automatically.
Before 1.0 January – March 2026

Six months of building, in the open only to a handful of testers. The shape of the app — the design system, the card, the widget, the onboarding — was set here.

  • First working build: task list, task cards, detail view, and the design system behind them.
  • Home screen widget.
  • Onboarding walkthrough and launch animation.
  • Canvas calendar import and course name parsing.
  • Statistics, week schedule, and deleted-task recovery.
  • An early on-device assistant, running a bundled model later replaced by Apple's.
  • Task export.
  • farpak.com and the Duelight product page.
