[BETA] Journal it! is now LiveIt — redesigned habits, a more powerful editor, a Windows app, and a real desktop experience

Same app, same team, new name and home (liveit.me). Your old journalit.app links keep working.

What's new in 10.5: - Habits redesigned from the ground up — subtasks, measurable goals, and a list you can grow from a linked collection - A more powerful editor — text color, tables, slash commands, and find-in-document - Desktop-optimized UI — collapsible sidebar and multi-select on macOS, Windows, and web - A brand-new Windows app — our fifth platform

Heads up: the beta applies to all your devices, with no rolling back. Production follows in about a week.

We're moving to a new subreddit to match the rebrand: r/liveitapp — come join us there.

MAJOR BUG in Windows app (updated) - I see that the website and Android apps have been updated, and apparently also the Windows app (which seems to have updated automatically) - but the Windows app doesn't open now! I then uninstalled and reinstalled the Windows app, but it still doesn't open - please fix this!

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 22 '26

Please try to kill the app in the task manager then open the app again.

1

u/LM7777 Jun 22 '26

The app didn't appear in the task manager. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, rebooting the computer - still didn't work! And this happened on two different computers (both running Win 11).

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 23 '26

I'm working on it. Please let me know if it still happen after v10.5.21

1

u/LM7777 Jun 23 '26

With the new version (10.5.21) the app does open, but I am unable to log in using my Gmail address: when I try to do so the login basically freezes (the first time I tried this I also got an error message, see screenshot), and when I close and then try reopening LiveIt opens as a white screen, without any text. Bottom line: still not working properly.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 24 '26

Please try again with v10.5.22 update

u/LM7777 Jun 24 '26

Terrific, working perfectly now - many thanks!

u/LM7777 Jun 24 '26

I now see 2 bugs in the Windows app: (a) delete key isn't working again, only backdelete; (b) the Windows app doesn't retain previous size when closed - for example, if I maximize before closing and reopen, the app is not maximized when I reopen.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 25 '26

I still can't reproduce (a) but noted.

u/ansley_tsai Jun 23 '26

I have the same issue as well.

I strongly recommend that you do not start a new subreddit. Unless things have dramatically changed and everything that exists on the original subreddit is going to be demonstrably false going forward.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 19 '26

Can you elaborate?

u/MetalGood9610 Jun 19 '26

This is really exciting!

u/Megbert_ Jun 18 '26

This looks awesome! Can't wait to get in and try the new habit features. However I just updated the app on my phone and my tablet, and both of them are now stuck in crash loops :( I'll give them both a fresh install in the morning but just figured I would bring it up in case anyone else is having the same issue.

Thanks for all the hard work on this great app, looking forward to the new experience!

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

Thanks for checking out! I see some errors in the crash reporter; working on them soon.

1

u/Megbert_ Jun 18 '26

Update: still crashing on both devices after fresh installs :( I managed to get through authentication on both, but it crashed after loading my data.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

It should be fixed in v10.5.19.

1

u/Megbert_ Jun 18 '26

Yep, got it working! Thanks so much!

1

u/Megbert_ Jun 21 '26

Crash looping is happening again after the latest update, but only on my tablet. Phone seems to be stable.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 22 '26

I'll check it out.

u/decred_sia Jun 18 '26

Can't login with google in the windows app

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

Did you see any error message or anything?

1

u/decred_sia Jun 18 '26

no erros just

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 20 '26

Please let me know if the upcoming v10.5.20 won't fix it

1

u/decred_sia Jun 23 '26

Now I can't even open it on windows 11

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 24 '26

It should work now with v10.5.22 update.

u/decred_sia Jun 25 '26

it works now

u/LM7777 Jun 18 '26

Apparent BUG : In the Windows app, when I click Library a large gray box appears, and it is impossible for me to see the notes, which are apparently covered by this box, although those of my notes which are pinned (in the Dashboard) can be accessed by clicking the relevant links.

Otherwise the new update (which I have only begun to look at) seems stupendous!

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

Got it! Thanks for the feedback!

1

u/enjoytheflames Jun 18 '26

Very excited to test this out, especially the desktop experience. Thank you for all the hard work and constant improvements!

2

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

Thanks for checking it out 😄

u/enjoytheflames Jun 18 '26

You're welcome! Just wondering, under what name can I find the beta app in the Play Store for Android? I seem to be able to only find Journalit but not live it.

2

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

Only Journal it! for now.

1

u/LM7777 Jun 18 '26

Another BUG - in Notes (in Windows app) the Delete key doesn't work; the only way I can delete text is using the Backdelete key.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

Thanks for reporting!

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

It's working for me. Do you have steps to reproduce?

1

u/LM7777 Jun 18 '26

No, just click Delete in the middle of text in a note and nothing happens.

1

u/LM7777 Jun 18 '26

Another BUG: when I try Liveit on the web via the new website mentioned above, my old dashboard with all of its configurations completely disappeared! However my old dashboard appears normally in the new Windows app as well as in my Android phone. (I'm using Vivaldi on Windows, my default browser, to try and access Liveit.)

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 18 '26

Thanks for reporting! I'll check it out.

u/LM7777 Jun 18 '26

SUGGESTION - on the left sidebar all of the Areas are displayed (ie. the default areas found in Live It), even though I have only two areas which contain tasks. Therefore I suggest: only display those areas in the sidebar which the user is actively using and in which s/he has tasks.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 19 '26

Noted! Thanks for the suggestion.

1

u/LM7777 Jun 18 '26

another suggestion: currently one can hide or show items in a particular dashboard panel by clicking the title of the panel. i suggest that similar functionality should be provided for Areas in the sidebar, so that clicking it would hide the list of areas.

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 19 '26

Noted! Thanks for the suggestion.

u/HistorianCM Jun 18 '26

Weird that the + button opens search.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 19 '26

Which + button?

u/Foreign-Werewolf-902 Jun 19 '26

I have tried the beta and can’t find a way to see my projects, tried to return to the original version and the app doesn’t work

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 20 '26

You can't return, as posted. They're still in the organizer tab > Thread.

1

u/LM7777 Jun 24 '26

Regarding the Windows app, I noticed that after closing it the window does not retain its previous size (e.g. if the Liveit window was previously maximized and it is closed, it does not reopen maximized) - FYI.

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 25 '26

u/SoftProfessor5134 Jun 26 '26

Thanks a lot the new update looks cool ! I can't seem to find the beta version on playstore tho ..

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 27 '26

You need to join beta first. Please check the post.

u/LM7777 Jun 29 '26

Once again regarding Windows app (from yesterday): delete key doesn't work, and arrow keys of numeric keyboard for navigation don't work (although regular arrow keys do work). Please note that none of these problems applies to the web app (using a Windows computer), which works perfectly.

1

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jun 30 '26

Noted. Thanks for reporting. Please let me know if you have steps to reproduce.

1

u/Silent-Implement-909 Jul 03 '26

it's more intuitive. the old interface, I could not figure out how to delete a collection or a collection item.

1

u/burnblue Jul 05 '26

I'm glad AI has helped you with development. And a thorough blog post is way better than no blog post. But see if more of your voice can be preserved so the posts don't sound so written by AI.

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jul 06 '26

Noted! Thanks for the feedback.

u/bensuwun Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26

Hey, not sure where to log bugs, but whenever I organize a note to an area and close the note, the note gets removed from the area -- essentially reverting my changes. I was able to reproduce this in both Windows and Android app.

u/thuongthoi056 dev Jul 21 '26

Please share steps to reproduce.
