v1.5.21 – Calendar polish, a longer trial, and a smarter assistant

​​​This update is all about the little touches that make everyday planning smoother. The calendar gets a handy Today button and a cleaner header, subscribing is friendlier with promo codes and a longer free trial, and the built-in AI assistant got noticeably sharper. Plus the usual round of polish and fixes.

​

Jump back to today

The calendar toolbar now has a Today button. Paged a few weeks ahead and want to get back to the here and now? One tap returns you to today in whatever view you’re using (Day, Week, Month, or Timeline). It stays disabled when today is already on screen, so you always know where you are.

​

A cleaner calendar header

We tidied up the date display at the top of the calendar. The year is gone from the header (you rarely need it day to day), the label keeps a steady width so the arrows no longer jump around as you page between months, and day and month names are now nicely capitalized in every language.

​

Three months free

New families now get a 3-month free trial of Snug Plus, up from two weeks. That’s plenty of time to settle in, get the whole household on board, and see how Snug fits your routine. No credit card required.

​

Promo codes and discounts

Got a promo code? You can now enter it right when you choose your plan, and the discount is applied at checkout. When a discount is active, your billing page shows it clearly: the original price with a line through it, the new discounted price, and how long the discount lasts.

​

A smarter AI assistant

The built-in AI assistant got more reliable at turning plans into real tasks and events:

• Dates land on the right day. When you give it a date with no specific time, it now schedules things for midday instead of midnight, so an item never slips to the day before once time zones are taken into account.
• Better project matching. It matches project names more precisely and only touches projects you actually have access to. If a name is ambiguous or doesn’t exist, it asks you to clarify instead of guessing, and tells you exactly which projects are available.

​

Projects always stay with you

A project can no longer be left with no members, which used to make it quietly disappear for everyone. If the last member is removed from a project, or a family member leaves, the family owner is automatically added so the project and its tasks stay reachable, and the owner gets a short email explaining what happened. You can then keep the project or delete it.

​

Polish and fixes

Various small refinements across the calendar and billing screens.

The storage indicator now reads “X of Y storage used” so it’s clearer at a glance.

Switching between monthly and annual billing refreshes your plan details right away, including any active discount.

v1.5.10 – Comments, Task Archive & File Previews

​This update is all about working together. You can now leave comments on tasks, appointments, and to-dos, archive tasks you’ve finished to keep your boards tidy, and see photo and video previews in the files area. We’ve also smoothed out uploads on mobile and fixed a batch of small things.

​

Comment on tasks, appointments, and to-dos

Wondering who’s picking up the groceries, or want to leave a note on an appointment? You can now add a comment to any task, appointment, or to-do. Reply to keep a conversation in one thread, edit or delete what you’ve written, and get a push notification or email whenever someone joins in. Comments update live, so everyone stays on the same page. You can switch comment notifications and emails on or off in Settings.

​

Archive your finished tasks

Done tasks no longer have to crowd your board. Archive them one at a time, or clear them all at once with Archive all done. Anything you archive moves to a new Archive tab, where you can restore it or delete it for good.

​

Previews for photos and videos

Image and video files now show a thumbnail preview, so you can spot the right file at a glance instead of opening each one. Large videos, including big MP4s, are covered too.

​

A tidier home for your Notes

Your Notes now open to a friendlier landing screen with Recently opened and Recently added, so you can jump straight back into whatever you were working on. Snug even remembers the last page you had open.

​

Never lose an edit

If you start editing something and then try to close the dialog or navigate away before saving, Snug now gives you a gentle heads-up. Choose to keep editing or discard your changes on purpose. No more accidental lost work.

​

Easier uploads on mobile

Adding files from your phone is smoother. When you upload, you can pick your Photo Library or Take Photo on the spot, and we’ve ironed out a handful of upload issues on iOS. We expect to launch iOS in the Apple App Store in the coming weeks.

​​

Polish and fixes

Various iOS fixes and behind-the-scenes thumbnail improvements.

Printing recipes now works correctly.

More date format options, including year first (YYYY-MM-DD).

Cleaner dialogs. We removed redundant Cancel buttons where the close button already does the job.

Opening anything from a notification now works reliably, including archived tasks.

v1.4.11 – Home screen, Contacts, Locations & Search Everything

Snug now opens to a brand new Home page that shows your day at a glance, adds a shared Contacts and Locations directory, and lets you search across everything in one place. On top of that: richer notes and recipes, app-wide zoom, project archiving, and a stack of polish.

​

Your new Home page

• A warm welcome. Snug now opens to Home, with Calendar still one tap away.
• Today and Tomorrow at a glance. See your tasks, to-dos, and appointments grouped by day, plus a look back at anything recently overdue.
• Tick things off in place. Check off a task or to-do right from Home, or tap any item to open and edit it (repeating items ask whether you mean just that day or the whole series).
• Quick add on any day. Hit the “+” on Today or Tomorrow to add an appointment, to-do, or task, already dated for that day.
• Pinned shortcuts. Pin the things you reach for most to Home: projects, recipes, notes, folders, shopping lists, or any website. Keep your own private pins and a set shared with the family, and drag to reorder.

​

Contacts & Locations

• A shared address book. Keep your family’s important people in one place (doctor, school, babysitter, plumber, relatives) with phone, email, notes, and a linked place.
• Birthday reminders. Add a date of birth to a contact and the whole family gets a friendly nudge on the day.
• Saved places. Save the spots you visit often. Start typing an address and Snug suggests real places, shows a map preview, and gives you a one-tap “Open in Maps” for directions.
• Attach them anywhere. Link a contact and a place to any appointment, task, or to-do, and create new ones on the spot without losing your place. This replaces the old free-text location box.

​

Search everything

• One search bar. A new search box at the top of every screen finds tasks, appointments, to-dos, projects, recipes, notes, shopping lists, files, folders, contacts, and locations by name.
• Straight there. Use the arrow keys and Enter, or just click a result, to jump right to the item.
• A link to anything. Most items now have a “Copy link” button (and share on mobile). Copy a link to a task, file, recipe, and more, paste it into a chat or email, and it opens right to that item.

​

Richer notes & recipes

• Images, videos, and files. The notes and recipe editor now holds all three. Drop them straight in or pick from your device. Files show as tidy download cards.
• Embeds. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link and the video plays right inside your note.
• Resize by dragging. Select any image, video, or embed and drag the handle to size it just right. Your chosen sizes are kept in print and PDF exports too.
• Tidier and more private. Images you add to private items now stay private and no longer clutter your Shared folder.

​

Zoom & touch gestures

• Zoom the whole app. A new zoom slider in Settings scales everything from 25% to 200%, so Snug fits your eyes and your screen. Pinch to zoom on touch, or hold Ctrl and scroll on desktop. Your zoom is saved to your account.
• Swipe the calendar. On touch devices, swipe left or right to move to the next or previous day, week, or month.
• Pull to refresh. Pull down from the top to reload, anywhere in the app.

​

Projects: archive & backlog

• Archive finished projects. Tuck completed projects away with Archive. They leave your sidebar, calendar, and boards, but nothing is deleted. Restore them anytime from the new Archived projects page.
• A Backlog column. Project boards now include an optional Backlog column for ideas you’re not ready to start. Turn it off per project, and Snug helps you move any backlog tasks first.

​

Make it yours

• Profile pictures and colors. Set your own profile picture, or pick an avatar color from a warm palette. Your avatar shows in the menu so it’s clear who’s signed in.

​

Smaller improvements & fixes

• Recipes: prep and cook time hints, shopping-list buttons that stay available once a recipe is saved, and ingredient edits that save when you click away.
• Recipes now print correctly on Android.
• Long names in the search results now wrap onto a new line instead of being cut off.
• “Grocery lists” are now “Shopping lists” throughout, including the buttons that add recipe ingredients.
• New Feedback option in your account menu to report a bug or send a suggestion in a couple of taps.
• Drag files onto the window from any page to upload, including into a task or appointment’s own files.
• Right-click or long-press tasks, to-dos, and appointments anywhere (calendar, to-do list, Home) for the same handy menu: Edit, Copy link, Duplicate, and Delete.
• Family settings now live on their own Family page with Overview and Members tabs.
• You can now attach files and images to a new task, appointment, or to-do before you save it.
• Reminder buttons stretch full width on mobile, so they’re easier to tap.
• The Google sign-in button is now visible on the web sign-in and register screens.

v1.3.44 – Backlog, Archive & Deep Linking

This release adds a Backlog column to projects, lets you archive finished projects, brings deep linking to the mobile apps, and ships a long list of fixes across iOS, Android, and the editor.

​

Projects: Backlog Column

Projects now have a Backlog column on the kanban board, ahead of “To-do”. Use it for ideas and work that’s queued up but not yet ready to start, so the To-do column only shows what you’re actually planning to tackle next.

​

Archive Projects

You can now archive projects you’re done with. Archived projects move out of your active list into a separate Archive view, so old project history stays accessible without cluttering the day-to-day. If a project still has open tasks when you archive it, Snug asks where to move them.

​

Shopping Lists (renamed from Grocery Lists)

“Grocery lists” are now called “shopping lists” everywhere in the app. Same feature, broader name. Use them for anything you need to buy, not just groceries.

​

Deep Linking on Mobile

Tapping a Snug link from an email, message, or web page on Android or iOS now opens that screen directly inside the Snug app, instead of falling back to the browser. Joining a family invite, opening a specific project, or jumping to a calendar event all route through the app when it’s installed.

​

File Upload & Drop

Dragging files into Snug now shows a cleaner full-screen drop zone, and batch upload progress reflects the total size of the batch instead of just one file at a time.

​

Editor Improvements

• The markdown editor’s drag indicator now positions correctly when the editor is used inside a dialog.
• Embedded images in the markdown editor now load reliably on pages that require sign-in.
• Touch-screen lines no longer show stray “up / down” buttons in the rich text editor.

​

Android Fixes

• Uploading multiple videos at once now works correctly.
• Pressing “retry” on a failed file in the file manager now actually retries the upload, instead of opening a file picker.

​

Small Improvements

• The timezone picker now rejects invalid offsets, so values like “+99” can no longer be saved.
• The AI assistant now handles timezones correctly when scheduling across regions.
• Faster connection for AI tools that talk to Snug.
• Various small UX polish across the app.

v1.3.26 – Files on Everything & Android Polish

This follow-up to v1.3.2 wires files into to-dos and appointments, keeps attached files tidy when their parent is deleted, adds a proper Help & Support tab in Settings, and irons out a stack of Android upload and sharing bugs.

​

Files on To-dos and Appointments

Tasks already had file attachments. Now to-dos and appointments do too. Drag files in, browse what’s attached, and open them straight from the dialog.

• Both to-do and appointment dialogs have a Files section that works the same way as on tasks.
• When you delete an appointment, task, or to-do, its attached files now move to Trash along with it. No more orphaned files sitting in your file manager.
• Files trashed this way still respect the 30-day soft delete, so you can restore them if you change your mind.

​

Help & Support in Settings

Added a proper Help & Support tab inside Settings.

• Contact: one-click email to our Snug contact e-mail.
• Report a Bug: opens your mail app with a fresh message and diagnostic info already filled in, so you don’t have to remember what device or version you’re on.

​

Android Fixes

A round of fixes for things that were off on Android phones and tablets:

• Sharing files from the file manager now actually works.
• Uploading many photos at once: the progress indicator now shows the total size of everything being uploaded, not just the first file.
• After uploading a batch of images, previews appear right away instead of requiring a page refresh.
• The maximum file size on Android has been corrected so large uploads no longer fail silently.
• The file picker is fixed for newer Android versions.

​

Rich Text Editor

• Drag-and-drop indicator now lands in the right spot when you reorder blocks inside a long document or a dialog.
• Editor UX polish across hover, focus, and toolbar buttons.

​

Small Improvements

• The current app version is now shown in the top-left of the sign-in screen, so it’s easy to tell which build you’re running when reporting an issue.
• Files tab inside appointment, task, and to-do dialogs got a UX pass (context menu, button sizing, layout).
• Icon buttons across the app now have consistent height and width.
• Welcome dialog (shown to brand-new accounts) got a friendlier copy and layout pass.
• Behind the scenes, the Snug MCP server gained tools for Files and To-dos, so your AI assistant can now read and manage those too.

v1.3.2 – Files, Pages, Personal Planner

The biggest release yet. Snug now has a full file manager, a free-form document editor called Pages, personal to-dos, and a refreshed identity as your personal planner first, family planner second.

​

Files

A complete file manager lives at the top of your sidebar. Upload anything, organize it into folders, and share it across the family.

• Drag and drop files and folders to move them around, or drag between the sidebar tree and the main grid.
• Grid view with thumbnails, breadcrumbs to walk back up, and a sidebar tree for fast jumping.
• Upload entire folder trees at once. Snug recreates the structure for you.
• Star any file or folder as a favorite for one-click access.
• Search and sort within any folder.
• Download a whole folder as a zip.
• Open a file and use prev/next to flip through everything in the folder.
• Trash with 30-day soft delete. Restore anything you removed by accident.
• Files are stored on Cloudflare R2 with a generous per-file and per-family quota.

​

Pages

A new free-form document editor for notes, meal plans, vacation packing lists, household manuals, anything that doesn’t fit into a task. Pages live in the sidebar with parent/child hierarchy and support rich text, images, and attachments.

• Real-time collaboration. See who else is editing.
• Nest pages under each other to build a small wiki.
• Same rich text editor as the rest of the app, now upgraded.

​

Personal To-dos

Light-weight to-dos for things that don’t belong to a project. Tick them off, see them on your schedule, keep them private or share with the family. To-dos sit alongside Tasks and Appointments and have their own list view.

​

Personal Planner Rebrand

Snug is now positioned as a personal planner first. Family sharing is a bonus when you want it, not the headline. New copy across the landing page, sign-up flow, store listings, and in-app strings in all six languages.

​

Rich Text Editor Overhaul

• Switched from a JSON format to clean Markdown under the hood. Your notes are now portable.
  • Switched from a JSON format to clean Markdown under the hood. Your notes are now portable and AI-friendly.
  • Groundwork for future integrations with tools like Obsidian.
• Paste or drop images straight into a page or recipe.
• Fixed editing on Chrome Android and iOS Safari. Cursor behaves, selection works, no more lost keystrokes.

​

Calendar & Appointments

• Location picker on appointments. Type an address, pick from suggestions, get a map link.
• Timezone mismatch dialog warns you when your device timezone doesn’t match your account.
• The calendar auto-scrolls to the current time when you open the day or week view.
• Several recurrence editor polish passes for cleaner “edit one / edit all” flows.

​

AI Assistant Access

Snug now has an MCP server, which means you can let Claude (or any compatible AI client) read and write your tasks, appointments, recipes, grocery lists, and more on your behalf. Ask your assistant to add tomorrow’s dentist appointment or generate a shopping list from a recipe, and it just works.

​

Sign-in & Reliability

• Reworked sign-in page with cleaner layout and better keyboard handling.
• Longer session lifetime so you stay signed in.
• The “reconnecting” overlay no longer flashes when the app comes back from the background.
• Hardened input validation across the API.
• Improved push notification icon on Android.

​

Removed

• The expense tracker has been removed. It wasn’t seeing real use and didn’t fit the planner focus. We may bring it back as a focused tool later.

​

Small Improvements

• Refreshed Dutch translations.
• Projects have a new optional “Test” column on the Kanban board, between Doing and Done. Handy for software projects or anything that needs an acceptance step before it’s truly done.
• Simpler task view for to-dos and chores so they feel less heavy.
• Default projects are created cleaner on new accounts.
• System folders in Files can’t be renamed, moved, or deleted by accident.
• Lots of dropdown, input, and toolbar polish across every page.
• Splash screen fix on Android.
• Pages now have a quick-add button next to Projects in the main menu.
• Recipe editor and ingredient list got another round of polish.

​

iOS App

We are finalizing the Snug iOS app. It is being tested internally currently. Should not take longer than 1 to 2 months to ship a first version.

v1.2.1 – Dark Mode, Multi-Language & Quality of Life

Snug now speaks your language and looks just as cozy after sunset. This release brings 6 languages, a full dark mode, smarter editing for recipes and shopping lists, and a whole lot of polish.

Dark Mode

Every screen in Snug now has a carefully tuned dark theme. Warm tones, not cold gray. Dark mode follows your system preference by default, or you can toggle it manually with the moon/sun button in the bottom-left corner of the sidebar (and on the sign-in page). Your choice is saved to your account so it follows you across devices.

• All inputs, cards, dialogs, toolbars, dropdowns, and popovers adapt to the active theme.
• The calendar, kanban board, expense tracker, and rich text editor all have dedicated dark palettes.
• Recipe pages stay white. They’re designed to look like paper, and that doesn’t change in the dark.
• Project badge colors and calendar event colors stay consistent in both themes for easy recognition.
• Theme preference (System / Light / Dark) is available in Settings alongside the quick-toggle button.

Multi-Language Support

Every label, button, menu, tooltip, error message, and notification in Snug has been translated into:

• English
• Spanish (Español)
• German (Deutsch)
• French (Français)
• Dutch (Nederlands)
• Portuguese (Português – Brasil)

Your language is auto-detected from your browser the first time you visit. You can change it anytime from the sign-in page or your account settings. When you sign up, even your default projects and categories are created in your chosen language.

Editable Ingredient & Shopping List Items

You can now click any ingredient in a recipe or any item in a shopping list to rename it inline. No need to delete and re-add. A small pencil icon hints that items are editable. Long names wrap naturally instead of getting cut off, and the edit field expands to fit multi-line text.

To-dos & Chores in the Main Menu

Your To-dos and Chores projects now have their own top-level links in the navigation menu. No more expanding the Projects group to find them. Custom projects still live under the Projects section. If you rename a default project, the menu updates instantly.

Better on Mobile

• Full-screen dialogs. Task, appointment, expense, and project editors now open full-screen on phones for a much better editing experience.
• Reminder buttons. Now left-aligned on mobile for easier thumb access.
• Long labels. Translated labels that are longer than English gracefully truncate instead of breaking the layout.

Recipe & Shopping List Improvements

• The “+ Add” button for ingredients and shopping list items is now a full-sized button instead of a small icon. Easier to tap on mobile.
• All inline styles in the shopping list detail page have been moved to a proper CSS file. Cleaner code, better maintainability.

Expense Tracker Polish

• Cleaner tooltips. All-black text with bold labels and a properly sized title.
• No more animation replay. Expense bubbles only animate on first load, not when closing a dialog.
• Instant tooltip dismiss. Hovering a bubble and clicking it no longer leaves a ghost tooltip behind the dialog.

SEO & Discovery

• Added sitemap, robots.txt, canonical tags, Open Graph tags, Twitter cards, and JSON-LD structured data to the landing page.
• Privacy and Terms pages are excluded from search indexes.
• Custom Open Graph image for social media sharing.

Small Improvements

• “Recipe Name” has been renamed to “Title” across all languages for consistency.
• “Billing” has been renamed to “Subscription” across all languages for clarity.
• Pricing buttons are now localized (e.g. “$4,99 / mes” in Spanish).
• Dropdown values like calendar views, task statuses, and colors are now translated.
• Project detail pages now open to the Tasks tab first instead of General.
• Fixed missing translations for the family and account deletion confirmation dialog.
• Fixed an empty English translation for the upgrade-required message.
• Current time indicator on the calendar now uses the brand accent color instead of black.
• Snackbar notifications always use a light background for readability in both themes.

The first release after launch !

Changes

Reminders UX Overhaul

• Reminders now appear inline in the General tab of task and appointment dialogs — no more switching tabs.
• Reminders work on new entities before saving — they’re buffered and committed when you hit Save, discarded on Cancel.
• All reminder changes (adds and deletes) are now buffered, matching the save/cancel pattern of other fields.
• Simplified reminder presets: 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day before start.
• Reminders always send both push notifications and email — manage your preferences in Settings → Communication.
• Clearing a start date automatically removes all associated reminders.

Communication Settings

• New “Communication” tab in Settings with three toggles: push notification reminders, email reminders, and tips & updates emails.
• Uses save/cancel pattern — changes only apply when you tap Save.
• Push and email reminders default to enabled for all users. Tips & updates emails require opt-in during registration.

Registration Updates

• New “Send me tips & updates” checkbox on the register form (checked by default).
• Clicking “Get started” on the landing page now opens the register form immediately.

Dialog Layout Improvements

• Task dialog field order: Title, Status, Start + End (side-by-side), Recurrence, Project, Assignees, Description, Reminders.
• Appointment dialog field order: Title, Start + End (side-by-side), Recurrence, Color, Assignees, Description, Reminders.
• Description field moved below other fields for a cleaner layout.

DataGrid Cleanup

• Removed “Created” column from appointment, expense, and family member grids.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash on Android/iOS (MAUI) when rapidly tapping dropdowns or date pickers in dialogs — caused by Blazor dispatcher threading issues.
• Fixed missing JavaScript module (element-utils.js) that could cause focus errors.
• Improved disposal safety for JavaScript interop modules.
• Fixed input label validation state not updating when tabbing between fields — labels would stay red after entering a valid value.
