Korean timeblocking tool on a 2-week shipping cadence — speed-first, mobile launches, integration depth.

◆Current state
Offlight is a Korean planning and timeblocking productivity tool that publishes biweekly changelogs in Korean. The visible window covers a focused fall-2024 push: planning-page custom view with collapsible lanes, Android Play Store launch with automatic timezone handling, two performance waves, natural-language task creation, Todoist integration, and Markdown support.
◆Where it's heading
The team is grinding through performance and core-UX work — speed framed explicitly as a feature, foundational planning capabilities (date plus time plus duration), and surface expansion to mobile via the Play Store. Integrations (Todoist) and natural-language input nudge the product into the same lane as Sunsama and Akiflow. No category-redefining moves visible — execution rather than direction.
◆Prediction
From the visible release pattern, expect continued mobile parity work, expanded calendar and task integrations beyond Todoist, and steady speed-and-stability investment. The introduction of an in-product roadmap with user voting suggests near-term feature priorities will track community demand.

◆Recent moves

  1. 1y ago

    Collapsible planning lanes; mobile task toolbar and Custom date

    Planning page now lets users collapse Inbox, Planned, and Calendar lanes independently via Shift+A/S/D, freeing screen space for the active focus mode. Mobile gains a task toolbar for setting deadlines and lists at creation time, plus a Custom date option for non-today scheduling. The first release this window with serious UX-personalization weight.

    Android Play Store launch and automatic timezone updates

    Offlight's Android app graduates from APK sideload to the Play Store, removing the friction of manual updates. Calendar timezone changes now auto-update, fixing a long-running travel pain point. Distribution milestone more than feature work.

    Performance improvements Part 2 (slow-network regions)

    Second wave of speed work explicitly aimed at slow-internet regions where task creation and time-blocking previously took 2-4 seconds. Pairs with the earlier Part 1 release; the team frames speed itself as a feature. Foundational infrastructure work behind upcoming surface improvements.

    Natural-language scheduling in task titles; performance Part 1

    Task titles now parse dates and durations directly — write a date or duration in the title and the task lands on the calendar without extra steps. Plus the first half of the speed-improvement cycle ships. The natural-language input nudges Offlight into the same input idiom as Akiflow and Todoist.

    Todoist integration (alpha) and Markdown support in notes

    Native Todoist integration ships in alpha — Todoist tasks pulled into Offlight's planner. Markdown support arrives in task and event descriptions for richer formatting. Both changes signal a deliberate move toward the timeblocker that plays well with whatever to-do app you already use.

    Time-and-duration scheduling for tasks via H shortcut

    The H shortcut now schedules tasks with time and duration, not just dates — and a planned task auto-creates a calendar timeblock. Foundational planning capability that earlier releases needed before adding richer UX layers on top.
