Task apps live and die by their task forms. We’re very proud of ours, but we’re constantly looking for ways to make it even better. It has always made adding lots of detail easy, but it can feel cumbersome when you needed to edit a long task description. So we came up with a better way: you can now edit task descriptions (and titles!) right on task pages!

We’ve also updated the task form with two small improvements. First, we’ve put due dates inside the same blue tokens you’re used to seeing...

When you keep something running 24/7, dealing with the occasional bug is just part of the process. They’re pretty rare in Flow, but when they do pop up, we know how important it is to respond quickly and communicate with our users about what’s happening.

With that in mind, we’ve decided to setup a new status page for Flow. So from now on, any time you encounter an issue with Flow’s web, iPhone, or Mac apps, all you have to do is check status.getflow.com to find the latest status updates while...

We’re happy to introduce a great little feature to Flow today: list duplication.

From now on, you can re-create any list and all its tasks simply by selecting "duplicate" from the list-options menu.

This should be especially handy if you find yourself regularly adding the same tasks to new lists. Now you can just create a template with those common tasks and the next time you start a new list, just hit "duplicate" and you’re ready to roll.

As an added bonus, we’ve made it so a list with...

It’s always been easy to create and delegate tasks, leave comments, and receive notifications via email, but until now attachments had to be added in-app.

Not anymore. From now on, any time you email a task to tasks@getflow.com or reply to a notification to comment, any files you attach will automatically be uploaded to the task.

Enjoy!

You now have an even easier way to invite teammates to collaborate on lists: the Quick Invite form.

You’ll find it below your collaborators in any list view. To invite someone new to collaborate on that list, just type in their name or email address and hit enter. Simple.

Enjoy!

Last week, we introduced automatic task clearing to Flow, eliminating the extra step of having to "sweep" away completed tasks.

Following the change, we received a surprising amount of feedback from users who preferred the old way of manually clearing tasks, some because they liked having that visual record up front, others because they liked the feeling of accomplishment that came with clearing completed tasks.

Whatever the reason, we heard you loud and clear: the automatic clearing of completed...

Automatic Task Clearing

Checking off tasks in Flow has always seemed a bit anticlimactic to us: after what should be a triumphant final click, the task just stayed there, cluttering up your list until you tapped the clear button to sweep it away once and for all.

No longer. From now on, tasks in Flow will be automatically cleared the moment you complete them, so your first click will be your last. And if you need to find a completed task after it’s gone, no problem: there’s a new "Show Completed...

The Flow team has been hard at work on a new, completely re-imagined Flow iPhone app.  The upcoming Flow iPhone 2.0 app has been designed from the ground-up for speed, speed and more speed.  The result? Dramatically faster load times in every area, from task creation and editing to comment activity and beyond.

The ’new task’ form below is the first in a series of teasers we’ll be releasing as we go:

We’re still testing it out internally at this stage, but we were too excited about it not to...

With Flow celebrating its first birthday last week, we thought it would be a good time to roll out a few new features and updates we’ve been working on…

New Public Search and Contact Requests

The new public search makes it possible to search the Flow userbase for contacts by name, making it much easier to find and add collaborators in Flow. Any contact requests sent this way will require the consent of the individual, of course, and if you’d rather not appear in public search results at all...

We were thrilled to see all the Tweets and Facebook wall posts marking Flow’s first birthday - Thank You!

Many of you also included the things you love best about Flow in your birthday shout-outs and it’s motivating us to keep cranking and make Flow’s second year even bigger.

Without further ado, here’s the list of lucky Flow fans who have just won a completely free year of Flow (a $99 value):
