Updates

Changelog

Version 1.0.2

  • New If a Windows part is still missing, Start says so and links to the free download from Microsoft
  • Fixed Reminders now arrive while the planner window is minimised, as long as Windows notifications are allowed
  • Improved Moving to a new computer is now one email. The app and the README say so, and the licence check is harder to copy
  • Fixed README corrections for the calendar (a week view), Settings and areas
  • Fixed Times and reminders now follow your computer's clock, and every time shows as 12-hour AM/PM (4:22 PM)
  • New Setting a time is easier. Type the hour and minutes in two boxes (the colon is built in) and tap AM or PM
  • Fixed If you skip AM or PM, the likely one is picked (4:58 means PM, 9:00 means AM), and a task moved to a new time reminds you again
  • Improved Reminder cards in the planner are bigger and stay until you close them
  • New Settings shows where to turn on Windows notifications if no pop-up appears

FAQ

Questions people ask

Do I need the internet?

Only once, to activate. After that it works fully offline, with no online licence checks.

No internet at all? Open the "I have an unlock code" tab, email the machine code and your receipt to support@zinuxtech.com, then paste in the unlock code you get back.

Is there a free trial?

No. The app needs a key to open. You can try the live demo in your browser first.

Can I use it on two computers?

No. One key activates one computer. For a second computer, buy a second key.

Moving to a new computer? Email your receipt to support@zinuxtech.com and we will move your key. Then activate on the new computer with the same key.

Renamed your PC, moved the Zin Tasks folder to another drive, or reinstalled Windows, and it asks for your key again? Email us the same way and we will move your key.

Where are my tasks kept?

In one file on your PC: database\database.sqlite inside the Zin Tasks folder. We cannot see your tasks. To back up, copy that file or use Settings, then Backup.

Can I bring my tasks from another app?

Yes. Import a CSV from Todoist, TickTick, Microsoft To Do or a spreadsheet. The import only adds tasks and never deletes any.

How do I get updates?

Updates for version 1 are free. Use Settings, then "Check for updates". Run Stop.bat first, then unzip the new version over the old folder. Your tasks stay, and the database updates itself. If you changed the port, change it again after the update.

Windows says "Windows protected your PC". Is that normal?

Yes, this happens with new apps. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

Can I get a refund?

Yes, if the download never arrived, the file is broken, it is very different from its description, or you were charged twice. Read the full refund policy.
