Autocomplete Tips

By Jake on October 6, 2011

We recently released of handful of improvements to Flow’s autocomplete feature, which suggests contacts, lists, and tags as you create and edit tasks. They’re relatively small changes, but they might save you some time next time you create a task.

First, the list field in the task form now shows you the names of the folders that contain each list. This is really helpful when you have lists with similar names in different folders—now you’ll know at a glance which is which.

Export Everything

By Jake on August 29, 2011

Today we’re releasing two new features that make it easier for you to take your data with you wherever you go!

Attach Files with Flow for Mac 1.1

By Luke on August 24, 2011

We announced the 1.0 version of Flow for Mac last month, and today we’re releasing the first of many coming improvements: full support for attachments. And because it’s a Mac app, we packed in some traditional Mac goodness.

You can of course click "Attach Files…" like you would on the web, but you can also:

  • Drag files onto the menubar icon,
  • Drag files into the attachment field in the task form, or
  • Right click on a file in Finder and select "Create Flow task with attachment".

Recurring Tasks

By Luke on August 8, 2011

Recurring Tasks has been the most requested feature since we launched Flow in March. I’m happy to say that we can finally check it off our list.

We looked at a lot of examples while designing this feature and drew from their strengths. We’re confident that our implementation both complements Flow’s simplicity and capably handles almost all recurrence uses.

How It Works

You repeat tasks based on the due date. To create a monthly "Pay rent" task, you would create a task due September 1 and set...

Better Email Collaboration

By Jake on August 4, 2011

We love emailing tasks to Flow, and today we’re excited to announce two improvements that make Flow’s email integration even better.

Add Followers

Just like you’ve always been able to assign tasks with the @ symbol, you can now add followers to a task with the + symbol:

Add Luke and Billy to the "Order a new Flux Capacitor" task.

Invite Collaborators

If you use the @ or + symbols before an email address instead of a name, Flow will invite them to the task even if they’re not already a contact...

Introducing the Daily Digest

By Luke on August 1, 2011

If you’re like us, you begin every morning looking at what you have to do today and reviewing what your team did yesterday. And even if you spend most of the day in Flow, you almost always start the morning in your email inbox.

We think a daily summary deserves a place in our inboxes, so we built the Daily Digest. Now you can receive an email overview of your due tasks and your team’s activity over the past 24 hours.

You decide what time to receive your Daily Digest (and if you want it on...
