Release notes

Install fixes and lighter syncing

• Clicking the Flowtion icon in your browser toolbar now opens the web app when you are on a page the sidebar cannot run on — the Chrome Web Store page, for instance. It used to do nothing at all.
• Installing Flowtion now opens the web app straight away, so you can sign in and finish setup instead of being left on the store page wondering what happens next.
• Flowtion is lighter on your connection. Returning to a Flowtion tab no longer reloads everything already on your screen, and changes you make elsewhere still arrive the moment they happen. Whether a timer is running is still checked every single time you come back.
• The daily clear-out of finished tasks from your Today list now runs once a day, instead of every time your browser wakes Flowtion up in the background.

Task status protection

• Saving your database settings no longer overwrites the statuses you set in Flowtion. Any save from the settings sheet — even one that did not touch status — could previously replace them with values derived from Notion.
• If a status property is deleted or renamed in Notion, your tasks keep their existing statuses instead of all resetting to not started.
• Re-running a first-time import no longer overwrites the completion time already recorded on a task.

Sync and analytics fixes

• Notion database templates no longer sync in as empty, unnamed tasks.
• Analytics totals now cover your whole selected period. Longer ranges were being silently cut short, so the numbers could read lower than the time you actually tracked.
• Archived and disconnected databases still appear in analytics, so your history stays complete — archived ones are now marked as such in the database picker.
• You can add a task to Today, or take it off, straight from the task drawer without it closing on you.
• Opening a Flowtion dialog no longer shifts the layout of the page underneath it.

Connection reliability

• Timers keep running reliably across sleep, long idle periods and browser restarts. Flowtion now checks its connection when your computer wakes, and repairs it only when it is genuinely broken — without disturbing a session that is already running.

Reliability fixes

• Flowtion now reconnects itself after your computer wakes from sleep, so a timer left running over a closed lid keeps updating instead of going quiet.
• Dismissing a finished session now clears it everywhere at once, instead of lingering in your other open tabs.
• A task you create in Flowtion now shows the status Notion actually gave it, rather than briefly showing "To Do" and correcting itself.

More launch fixes

• Your active task and running timer now clear correctly when that task is completed or taken off Today somewhere else — in Notion, or in the other Flowtion surface.
• Inline status and due-date edits sync again across all Notion database views, after a change Notion made to its own view tabs.
• Analytics now render on the right page, and no longer overflow, when a Notion page is opened in side peek or several pages are open at once.

Launch fixes

• Fixed the Flowtion widget not appearing on some Notion pages, after a change to how Notion structures its own cards.
• The status picker on databases you have not connected now groups options under the same To do / In progress / Complete headings as connected ones, instead of showing a second "Status" heading.
• Dropdown menus near the bottom of a panel now open upward instead of being cut off.

Flowtion 1.0 — first public release

• Flowtion is out of beta and available on the Chrome Web Store.
• Focus timers and time tracking that run inside Notion, kept in two-way sync with the tasks and databases you already use.
• A floating timer that stays visible on every tab, so your hours get tracked wherever the work actually happens — not just on Notion.
• Plan your day with time estimates per task and a daily focus goal.
• Change a task’s status, estimate and due date inline, without leaving the page you are on.
• Analytics for where your time went, broken down by task and by Notion database.
• Excel and CSV export for invoicing and reporting.
• Free to start. Pro adds more workspace and database connections, detailed analytics and data export.
