V1.1.0

A more complete, reliable Ikuna

If 1.0.0 introduced the core Ikuna experience, 1.1.0 is where it starts to feel complete: more dependable workspace restoration, a much richer Dashboard, smoother switching and onboarding, iCloud sync across Macs, and stronger security and recovery foundations.

More reliable workspace restore and switching

  • Better restoration for Chrome, Arc, and other Chromium-based browsers, and better Finder and iTerm behavior.
  • Improved Spotify launch behavior during workspace switching and more robust multi-monitor window positioning.
  • Better cleanup when switching workspaces and safer handling of malformed or incomplete tab and window data.

A faster, more useful Dashboard

  • Faster loading and cache handling; fixes for month-view freezes and lag; Live Active Time restored.
  • Better graph scaling and empty-state behavior, more accurate week and month totals, better deep-work attribution inside Ikuna workspaces.
  • Better counters for hours worked, breaks, productivity split, and context switches.
  • New insight layers: Attention Span tracking, focus and energy flow indicators, historical AI briefings through the Performance Journal, more polished AI summaries and action-oriented coaching.

Better onboarding and first-run flow

  • Overhauled onboarding UI with clearer permission prompting and a better explanation of shortcuts and setup.
  • Better Pro Preview entry points.
  • Quick Switcher is gated until onboarding completes, avoiding confusing first-run interruptions.

Quick Switcher improvements

Better workspace editing and transition feedback

  • Inline tab insertion inside window rows and better browser and Finder tab mapping.

Stronger iCloud sync and recovery

  • Granular iCloud sync controls and better CloudKit transaction handling.
  • Better merge behavior for workspaces and dashboard-related data, and better cache invalidation during sync.
  • Support for CloudKit sync on existing on-disk SQLite stores and better startup auth restoration for iCloud flows.
  • Hardened local backup and restore behavior for data safety.

Stronger security foundations

  • Better keychain access isolation and fewer unnecessary auth and keychain prompts at startup.
  • Safer account bootstrap behavior.
  • Audit logging and enterprise data-isolation groundwork, plus additional hardening across persistence, sync, and account flows.

Clearer telemetry handling

  • More consistent analytics identity and opt-out handling and better separation between diagnostics and other telemetry flows.
  • Optional anonymized productivity research flow.
  • Redaction for Chrome and Arc incognito tabs and URLs.

Broad stability improvements

  • Threading fixes, memory leak fixes, safer AppleScript execution, better persistence recovery, hardened SQLite backup behavior.
