You can now customize they keywords used to automatically create Focus Sessions, Breaks, or Meetings from your calendar events. Previously, you could only use
#rize-focus
,
#rize-break
, and
#rize-meeting
. You can set these custom keywords for each calendar integration in
Settings > Calendars
.
You can now mark days as PTO in Rize. When you mark a day as PTO, it will not be counted towards your Work Hours daily averages. Days will automatically be marked as PTO if any calendar events contain "PTO" or "OOO" in their title for that day.

  • Fixed an issue where the menu tray timer on macOS was not updating when switching sessions.
  • Fixed an issue where resetting app data from the developer menu would break the sign-in flow.
  • Fixed an issue where users received a work hours notification if the day was marked as PTO.
  • Fixed an issue where rules were not working on the client after updating them.
  • Fixed an issue where the user properties were not syncing on startup leading to numerous bugs.
  • Fixed an issue where extending sessions would restart the music selected.

Other changes:
  • Fixed an issue where the app would not quit properly when signed out.
  • Fixed an issue where the Windows bar would not update with the theme changes from the app.
  • [Bug] Fixes an issue where the distraction blocker breaks when urge surfing is enabled.
  • [Bug] Significantly overhaul tracking logic to increase performance and stability. Some users have reported that the tracker will miss activity after coming back from a break or from idling. These changes should fix that issue.
  • [Bug] Fixed an issue where focusing or hovering over a notification doesn't stop the progress bar. Now when interacting with a notification, the timeout progress bar will pause.
  • [Improvement] Changed various input methods on the vertical timeline to a modal component to avoid strange placement issues and scrolling jumps.
  • [Improvement] Use the vertical timeline activity tooltip across all activity charts, including those in the weekly, monthly, and yearly views, category charts, and project charts.
  • [New Feature] You can now set the work hours target per day under
    Settings > Activity > Work Hours Target
    .
  • [New Feature] We're now feature complete on our Spotify integration and player, we're still waiting on the final integration approval from Spotify (it's been months 😭).
  • [Deprecating] For those who have been users before August of this year, we will be removing the horizontal timeline view in our next update. The horizontal timeline is an old view that has been outdated for quite some time now and lacks the functionality that the vertical timeline has.
