Latest update notes

Oct. 2, 2024 (v 5.2.5)

-- 5.2.5 --
• Improved some date picker animations that went a bit weird in iOS 18.
• Hid the icon sets from the “Purchasable features” screen when running the app on a mac (because alternate icons don’t work on macOS).

-- 5.2.4 --
• List is now switched (visually) faster when using Control Center or Shortcuts.
• Added ‘Title’ field to Shortcut action.
• Hidden priority button now shows temporarily if set via a Shortcut or Control Center.
• Fixed an issue which caused URL scheme to ignore the specified list.
• Fixed an issue which caused URL scheme & Shortcuts to fail to switch lists when run on macOS.

-- 5.2 --
Remind Me Faster 5.2 brings Control Center & Shortcuts support, list improvements, and new icons.

Control Center, Action Button, Shortcuts:
• Add Remind Me Faster to Control Center or the Action Button, and optionally preset which list, location, and priority it should launch with.
• Add Remind Me Faster to shortcuts with a “New Reminder” Action, and optionally preset which list, location, priority, and note it should launch with.

List improvements:
• Customisable list switcher: Choose which lists to show / hide, and reorder them as you like.
• Improved switching gestures: Swipe down just above the keyboard to invoke a thumb-reachable list switcher. Swiping left/right to quick-switch is now more responsive and polished.

New icons:
• New default app icons which adapt to light & dark mode in iOS 18.
• Added new set of alternate app icons which adapt to light & dark mode in iOS 18.

Other changes:
• Cursor accent colour now follows the selected list
