Inspired by Tim Urban's "Life in weeks" there's a new feature that you can access from the Spotlight (search for "My life in weeks")

You can choose an estimate for your life expectancy, and then see the following info:

• How many years you have left
• How many weekends you have left
• Progress bar of your life
• Progress bar of the year
• Weeks left of your life
• Progress bar of the current season (summer, winter, etc.)

Also, if you have set birthdays for your contacts in Benji, you will see in which of your life they will leave your life. This is definitely a morbid feature, but it might motivate you to spend more time with your friends and your loved ones.

This feature will soon be more integrated in the platform with widgets, etc. but also you'll be able to disable it completely if it freaks you out.

Easily update any todo by clicking on the 3 dot menu. You can choose:

• Planned date
• Due date
• Tags
• Duration
• Annoying level
• Priority

Your todo descriptions are like a document now. You can add rich text: bold, italic, headings, lists, checklists, etc. To start a checklist just type [] and it will turn into a checkbox.

You can also maximize the description so you can focus on it and have more space for writing.

Now you can invite someone to a project. You need to follow each other in order to send an invite to a project.

In the demo video below we have a user "Kitze" on the left and "John" on the right, and they're sharing a project called "House renovation".

After you add some time blocks to your planner, you can go to your "Today" view and group todos by time blocks.

You can also easily add new tasks to each time block

Sometimes we have a small time block (30 minutes) but we will overestimate the amount of tasks we can dump in it.

So now when you add estimates to your tasks, you will see a progress bar with how much time there's left in each time block.

Now you can access the planner and see your daily plan anywhere in the app just by pressing alt + c This is especially useful when you're planning your todos and you want to check what your day looks like.

You could already add tags and priority for projects, but now you can do it for todo lists too.

i.e If you set the priority of a list to "High" all the tasks in that list will appear higher on the "Overview" list.

A reminder: tags in Benji can have points. For example you can make a tag called "Health" that has 100 points, so anytime you tag a todo with "Health" it will have extra 100 points and appear higher on the list.

Now you can tag entire lists, so all the tasks on that list will have more points.

Right click a project or a todo list from the sidebar so you can easily edit it, delete it, complete it, or hide it form the sidebar.

You can still access the hidden lists/projects through the Spotlight (cmd+k or ctrl+k).

Go to Settings -> Todos to configure the todo settings. The following settings are available now:

• Todo points

  • Display the points with a nmber
  • Display only a colorful border that represents points
  • Don't display points at all
• Choose whether to show due/overdue tasks in the Today view

No more waiting for a task to be added from the "quick add" inputs. Now you can add multiple tasks without waiting.

Click on "Done" in the left sidebar to explore the todos you completed recently.

You might have some projects that you are working on, but you don't want to see their tasks in the Overview. Now when you edit the project you can choose that.

Hold alt and click on a todo and you can quickly change the name without opening the full dialog.

Hold cmd/ctrl and click on an avatar on a shared todo and you'll automatically assign yourself to it, instead of opening the dialog and clicking 3 times.

It's super annoying when you're messing with recurring calendar events and you have to choose "This event" or "All events" with your mouse. It just kills the planning flow.

Now you can just press a shortcut on your keyboard so you can be even faster when planning your days.

You could already toggle the pomodoro sounds by pressing alt + m , but now you can also do it by clicking on the music icon while holding the cmd or ctrl key.
