Home page custom organization + icons/ widgets

Hi! I think it would be very helpful for me if the elements on the home page could be moved around or if there could be a few different layout options. I included a photo of what an ideal layout for me would be. Basically, calendar across the top, tasks for today only displayed, a few key “pages” that I access regularly being available and editable straight from the home page like the tasks are, as well as the options for a few visual widgets/ icons for various things like an icon of a dying plant I can click on to water my plant, a blinking exclamation when I’ve got an overdue task, and a little weather icon for the current weather. I think it would dramatically reduce the clutter of the home page for me, and the widgets would mean I could use it like a screen saver on a family owned tablet.

Customizable Progress Bar and Timer for Projects (TAG Filter)

A customizable, red progress bar for the timer, which is currently somewhat too narrow? I constantly have to search to see how much time has elapsed. Would it be possible to make the display larger or thicker? The timer itself is very practical—I understand it is not intended as a time-tracking tool—yet such a feature would be immensely beneficial. Freelancers could save a considerable amount of money by generating precise reports that clearly show how much time was spent on specific tasks, enabling minute-accurate billing. Many users wish not only to capture screenshots but also to monitor how much time a client invests monthly. Perhaps a TAG (project) filtering system could also be added.

Fix bugs with habits streaks

So, currently there are 2 distinct bugs with the habits functionality: 1) First, if I change the scheduling of a habit, I lose my streak. This has happened multiple times already, and while it isn’t a huge issue (since the goal is to develop new habits, regardless of any arbitrary “streaks”), it’s still frustrating. Like, what’s the point of having a streak, if I have to start from 0 just because, for instance, I change the timing of my weekly habit from “every Tuesday” to “every Wednesday”, or from “9:00-11:00” to “9:30-11:30”. This simply doesn’t make sense at all… 2) Secondly, there’s a weird discrepancy between the iOS and the MacOS version of the app when it comes to habits. On iOS, ByDesign always displays my current streak for my uncompleted habits for the day, and adds +1 when I mark them as complete. But on MacOS, it displays 0 for my streak until I complete the habit – after which it correctly displays my streak. So, there’s no difference after I’ve marked a habit as complete. But there’s a weird discrepancy before I do so. I’ve gotten used to this over the months I’ve been using ByDesign… But I still find it mildly frustrating every single time.
