ByDesign needs ability to organize ideas into connected objects, not files buried in folders. Link anything to anything, and find what you need the moment you need it. Powerful search instead of forcing users to remember what documents (Pages) stored in which folders. You need a database to track folders and folder content. 😆 I feel like I am spending more time filing , organizing and then remembering where does this page goes into which folder. Yes I am spending more time filing than thinking. Files and folders made sense in 1984. But the human brain does not think that way. Humans think and make connections to “Things” aka Objects; People, ideas, projects, dates, tasks, phone numbers, goals, habits. These are all things or objects. Objects have properties that connect to each other. I wish ByDesign was more object oriented, no deciding which folder something belongs in. No more losing notes, or data in nested hierarchy.

Notes should be able to expand into full screen. If you have pages of notes you are currently only able to see a small amount of the information. Allow us to see notes in full screen.

Can I make a suggestion to make the images that you upload expand to the whole screen when you click on them in notes. Thanks Richard

Since we have multiple projects going on at the same time, this would make it easier to identify tasks from different pages without needing to open the task. See image. Thank you.

I actively hate AI and will stop using a platform if AI is being shoved in my face. I would like for there to be a master setting to completely shut off all AI options and interactions, so The Hub and the new sidebar menus that are being added to use AI support would completely disappear from my screen. I don’t want any possibility of AI being accessed or accessing my data by accident.

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.

When adding an image, it would be very useful to have a direct option to capture a photo with the camera from the selection menu, instead of only choosing existing images. This would make it much faster to take notes with photos in real time (e.g. during conferences or meetings), without needing to switch between apps.

create a seperate section where you can create different timed routines of habits and tasks.

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.

If I make a comment on a page shared with team members, it should notify everyone that a new comment has been added. Instead, we see that we have to use the @ functionality in the commentto make sure a team member is notified

I use the app in the background, having some sort of subtle ding or ping when I get a new notification (from other team members) would be a great quality of life feature.

Just like Fantastical has implemented it, it would be a nice feature to be able to connect to your local calendar and reminders, instead of only connecting to online/cloud accounts. Not everybody uses a cloud service, and some would like to control which local calendar is being used for item sharing/exchange.

Currently, the timeline view works great for day-to-day and weekly planning, but it lacks broader time horizon perspectives that are essential for effective long-term planning. It would be useful to have the ability to switch between different timeline views: Monthly View – See all tasks and goals laid out across the entire month Quarterly View – For quarterly planning Yearly View – Get a bird's-eye view of your annual goals Some apps have explored similar concepts (like horizon-based planning in timestripe)

Hover the mouse over the notes and the content of the notes will pop up without necessarily having to open the note itself.

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.
