Changelog

asambl is in invite-only beta and updates often. This page tracks what shipped in each build so you can see what changed since the version you are running. Your beta key stays valid across updates; download the latest build from our GitHub releases whenever a new one lands.

The current build is v0.2.33-beta for macOS and Windows.

v0.2.33-beta (current)

This build fixes two issues beta testers ran into: updating on Windows, and adding a single planner's events to your calendar.

• Windows updates install again. On Windows, an update would download and then stop without offering to restart, so it never installed. It now downloads and installs the way it should. One-time step if you are already on an older Windows build: install this version by hand from our GitHub releases once, and updates are automatic from there.
• Adding a planner's events to your calendar sticks. When you plan a single life area, like Fitness or Finance, and add its events to your calendar, they now reliably land there. Before, the button to add them could time out or save only the written plan, so nothing showed up. See Calendar.

v0.2.32-beta

This build hardens how your beta key and logs are kept on your machine, and smooths setup and accessibility. It rolls up the builds since v0.2.30-beta.

• Your beta key is better protected on your machine. Your activation key is now encrypted where it is stored rather than kept in plain text, and any copy earlier builds had written into the app's diagnostic logs is cleared automatically the first time you open this version. None of this changes how you activate or sign in.
• Smoother, more reachable setup. Onboarding keeps keyboard focus inside each step, keeps the consent screen fully in view at any window size, and hands you a first draft even when you skip the guided setup. Chip and tag text across the dark themes now meets contrast standards.
• Planning keeps your answers when something goes wrong. If a weekly or quarterly plan cannot be built, asambl now tells you up front and lets you retry from where you were instead of losing the answers you just gave.

v0.2.30-beta

This build sharpens what your weekly plan draws on and clears up calendar setup during the beta.

• Your plan remembers what is on your calendar. When asambl drafts your week, it now surfaces notes you saved that relate to what is actually on your calendar that week, not just your top priorities. Put a trip on the calendar and the notes you kept about it come up while you plan, without you going to find them. See Weekly planning.
• Clearer calendar connect during the beta. Onboarding now tells you Google Calendar connects only for accounts on the beta allow list, and points you to Settings under Integrations to request access if it does not connect the first time.

v0.2.29-beta

This build reworks how you start with asambl and adds a quiet second opinion on every plan.

• Setup that hands you a plan. Onboarding now goes one question at a time, learns what a good week feels like and what keeps slipping, optionally connects your calendar, and drafts your first weekly plan before you finish, so you leave setup already holding a plan instead of an empty screen.
• asambl notices your week. When you commit a weekly plan, asambl points out one thing about its shape, an area with no time or a priority with nowhere to happen, as an observation and a question rather than a verdict. Tell it that's intentional or push back, and it takes that into next week.
• This week's actions on Home. Your committed plan shows up as a checklist you tick off through the week. See Calendar.
• Fixes and polish. The setup read-back is faster and easier to read, the connection question covers everyone who matters rather than just a partner, and a first-run planning error on fresh setups is gone.

v0.2.28-beta

This build makes asambl yours to look at and easier to run day to day: choose how the whole app looks, group the small recurring things into a routine, and carry your tasks, journal, and reminders on your phone. It rolls up the builds since v0.2.25-beta.

• Themes and skins. Choose how asambl looks from a swatch grid in Settings: a matched Dawn and Dusk pair for light and dark, or four fuller skins (Terminal, Typewriter, Poster, and Cloud), each with its own type, corners, and texture.
• Routines. Group the small things that always go together (pack supplements, change towels, meal prep) into a single routine. Set how long each step takes and when it repeats, and it lands on your calendar as one block you tick off step by step. You manage routines from the Tasks panel. See Calendar.
• Tasks, Journal, and Reminders on the Companion. The Companion gains three tabs beside Today. See your tasks grouped by life area and tick or add them, write a dated journal entry with a mood, and clear upcoming reminders with done or snooze. Everything you do syncs back to your desktop over the encrypted relay when your laptop is next awake.
• Spending and fixed costs at a glance. Finance's Your numbers view adds two breakdowns: where your money went this month by category, and what makes up your fixed costs, each as a labelled donut. See Finance.
• Travel planning in Joy. Joy gained a travel planner for trips (a packing capsule, a booking checklist, and a Schengen day counter) alongside the leisure and creative planning already there.
• Journal a book or film. Click a title asambl recommends and it opens a note just for that book or film, so your thoughts on each live in their own place instead of one growing list.
• Fixes. The media-title menu reopens reliably after you click away, saving a planner draft after a reload works, and dragging an item from your inbox onto the calendar creates the event again.

v0.2.25-beta

This build tightened the day-to-day surfaces: one screen per life area, deeper numbers in Finance and Health, and reminders you can act on straight from the calendar.

• One screen per life area. Each life area now leads with what you are working on now. Reference material and past weeks fold into a single summary row you expand only when you want them, so nothing buries the current week.
• Your numbers in Finance. Finance gained a Your numbers view: monthly cashflow, budget against your targets, a net-worth projection, savings growth, and a debt-payoff timeline. Cash savings and investments are tracked separately, and a short calculator turns your income and goals into starting budget and savings targets. See Finance.
• Nutrition targets and a guided kitchen. Health can work out your daily calorie and protein targets from your details, and a guided setup captures your staple foods and go-to meals so your first weekly menu and shopping list have something real to build from.
• Reminders on the calendar. Reminders show as chips on the calendar grid. Click one to mark it done, snooze it, or open it to edit, without leaving the calendar. See Calendar.
• A cleaner library. Films and the rest of the library gained a shelves view grouped by status, status badges, quick actions on each cover, and tidier genres.
• An editorial design pass. The weekly ritual, Ask, and the shared surfaces carry the same voice and spacing throughout.

v0.2.20-beta

Builds between v0.2.20-beta and v0.2.25-beta refined these areas with steadier packaging, calendar, and planning fixes. v0.2.20-beta rounded out the six life areas and brought logging to the Companion.

• Work and Career joins the drafted week. Work and Career is now a full life area you can turn on alongside the others. Your job is already on the calendar, so asambl plans around it: it protects focus time next to your meetings and schedules the career moves you keep deferring, sized to the week you actually have. See Life areas for how it fits with the rest.
• Meals and nutrition in Health. The Health and Wellness area now holds meals, macro estimates, a daily tally, and weight check-ins, so nutrition sits next to training and recovery in the same area.
• Companion logging shipped. The Companion gained its Meals and Train tabs. Log a meal by scanning a product barcode or adding it by hand, record a weight check-in, and log each workout set with reps, load, and effort. Everything you capture syncs back to your desktop vault over the encrypted relay.
• Two-way Google Calendar sync. Confirmed asambl events now sync back to Google Calendar, and your external events show up inside asambl, so you work against a single picture of your time. See Calendar for how to connect.
• Time by area insights. The calendar can total your planned hours per life area, so you can see at a glance whether the week leans too hard on one area and leaves nothing for the rest.

Earlier beta builds

Before v0.2.20-beta, the beta established the core of asambl:

• The weekly ritual that turns a few honest answers into a sequenced week and then into real calendar events. See How planning works and Weekly planning.
• The first life areas (Health, Finance, Relationships, Joy, and Growth), each holding your real context as plain Markdown in your vault.
• The desktop calendar with month, week, and day views, colour-coded by life area, and proposed plans you accept before anything is committed.
• The Companion agenda and capture flow for your week on the go, with captures end-to-end encrypted and queued when you are offline.
• Ask asambl, capture and knowledge, and the journal, tasks, and reminders rail.

How updates reach you

When a new build is ready we publish it to our GitHub releases. Open the release, download the build for your platform, and install it over your current version. Your vault stays on your machine throughout, and your beta key carries across updates, so you keep everything you have already captured and planned.
