What's new in FlowQuota

v01.67.0 16 August 2026

Calendar-Aware AI Briefings and Working Hours Context

Weekly AI Briefings now use privacy-safe aggregate calendar context, while user-configured Working Hours help FlowQuota distinguish declared capacity, structural demand, unavailable time, open gaps, protected focus and recorded focus. These settings affect FlowQuota only: there is no Google write-back and no Focus Score change.

Details

Added

• Added provider-neutral, user-configured Working Hours with timezone-aware capacity and open-gap metrics.
• Enriched weekly AI Briefings with bounded aggregate calendar context without sending calendar content to OpenAI.
• Kept Out of Office, structural demand, Protected Focus and recorded focus semantically separate and overlap-safe.

v01.66.0 11 August 2026

Protected Focus Intelligence Foundation

Added first-class support for protected Google Calendar Focus Time. FlowQuota now distinguishes protected focus intent from ordinary structural calendar demand, compares protected Focus Time with recorded FlowQuota sessions, and provides deterministic protected-focus metrics in Reporting while preserving privacy and leaving Focus Score and AI Briefings unchanged.

Details

Added

• Separated protected Focus Time, out-of-office availability, working-location context, free markers, and ordinary structural demand using provider event types.
• Added overlap-deduplicated Protected Focus totals, realisation, neutral unrecorded time, outside-protected focus, session counts, and local daily rollups.
• Added local-only upcoming protected-focus detection as a foundation for future activation prompts.

v01.65.0 9 August 2026

Calendar Intelligence in Reporting

Added a Calendar Intelligence layer to Reports, showing scheduled time, calendar blocks, open gaps, calendar density, calendar overlap, focus-to-scheduled context, and daily focus-versus-scheduled activity. Calendar data remains structurally distinct from productive focus time and does not affect Focus Score or AI Briefings.

Details

Added

• Added aggregate schedule context to weekly and monthly Reports using locally stored calendar activity.
• Added an accessible daily comparison of focused work and scheduled time.
• Kept All Time reporting unbounded for focus activity while clearly limiting Calendar Intelligence to weekly and monthly views.

v01.64.0 9 August 2026

Calendar Activity Metrics Foundation

Added deterministic calendar-derived behavioural metrics for unique scheduled time, event load, overlap, fragmentation, between-event gaps, clustering, focus-to-scheduled balance, and combined focus/calendar occupancy. These aggregate signals use privacy-minimised local timing data and remain descriptive: they do not affect Focus Score, AI Briefings, heatmaps, or existing productivity reporting.

Details

Added

• Added an authenticated, aggregate-only calendar metrics API with user-local daily rollups.
• Measured overlapping calendar activity as unique wall-clock occupancy and exposed double-booking minutes without multiplying triple overlaps.
• Kept scheduled commitments separate from authoritative productive focus duration while measuring their neutral ratio, union and overlap.

v01.63.0 8 August 2026

Calendar Events in History

FlowQuota History now combines completed focus sessions with privacy-minimised scheduled activity from selected, synced Google Calendars. Calendar entries remain clearly distinguished from focused work and show scheduled time without being treated as actual productive duration. Calendar data does not yet affect Focus Score, AI Briefings, or Reports.

Details

Added

• Added historical timed calendar activity from selected Google Calendars to the unified History timeline.
• Kept scheduled calendar duration separate from actual productive focus time.
• Preserved privacy-minimised storage without event titles, descriptions, attendees, locations or provider identifiers in the UI.

v01.62.4 8 August 2026

Deferred Timer Completion Timestamp Integrity

Corrected timer completion timestamps when FlowQuota discovers an expired session after the user has been away from the browser. Productive time now remains bounded to the timer's logical working interval, while later Complete/Incomplete acknowledgement remains a separate behavioural event. Reporting and heatmaps are also hardened against legacy sessions with delayed end timestamps.

Details

Fixed

• Recorded natural timer expiry at the trusted logical completion time, even when discovery is delayed.
• Kept later Complete and Incomplete acknowledgement events separate from productive completion.
• Bounded heatmap placement to authoritative productive duration for legacy malformed sessions.

v01.62.3 8 August 2026

Production Database Migration Deployment Safety

Hardened FlowQuota's production deployment process so database migrations are applied before schema-dependent application code starts. Added migration-head compatibility checks and operational guidance to prevent application/database revision mismatches from reaching runtime.

Details

Improved

• Added a fail-closed startup check that compares the database revision with the application's Alembic head.
• Documented Render pre-deploy migrations and safe recovery procedures for schema-changing releases.

v01.62.2 6 August 2026

Google OAuth Identity Scope Alias Validation Fix

Corrected Google OAuth scope validation so the canonical userinfo email and profile scope URLs returned by Google are accepted as equivalents of the requested identity shorthands. Calendar-list and event permissions remain exact and flow-specific.

Details

Fixed

• Accepted Google's equivalent shorthand and canonical URL representations for email and profile identity scopes.
• Kept calendar-list and read-only event permission validation exact, without accepting broader or similarly named scopes.

v01.62.1 6 August 2026

Google OAuth Incremental Consent Validation Fix

Corrected the Google Calendar OAuth callback so that an initial calendar connection requires only account identity and calendar-list access. Read-only event access is now validated only during the separate event-permission upgrade flow, preserving the intended incremental-consent journey.

Details

Fixed

• Initial Google Calendar connections no longer require read-only event access.
• Event permission upgrades remain separately validated and preserve the existing connection, refresh token and calendar selections.

v01.62.0 5 August 2026

Google Calendar Event Ingestion Foundation

Introduced privacy-minimised, read-only event ingestion for explicitly selected Google calendars. Users can grant event access and manually synchronise a bounded window covering 45 days before today through 90 days after today. FlowQuota supports per-calendar initial and incremental synchronisation, pagination, access-token refresh, event updates and deletions, recurring instances, all-day events, and safe full resynchronisation when Google invalidates a sync token. Calendar events remain separate from Focus Sessions and are not yet used in History, Reporting, Focus Score or AI Briefings.

Details

Added

• Added explicit read-only event permission and deliberate manual synchronisation.
• Added privacy-minimised event storage, per-calendar cursors and safe deletion on deselection or disconnect.
• Added bounded full sync, incremental sync, pagination, credential refresh and invalid-token recovery.

v01.61.0 3 August 2026

Google Calendar OAuth Connection and Calendar Selection

Introduced the first live Google Calendar connection flow. Users can securely connect a Google account, review the limited data FlowQuota accesses, discover available calendars, explicitly choose which calendars FlowQuota may use, manage their connection, and disconnect safely. OAuth credentials are stored using authenticated encryption. Calendar event ingestion, reporting, Focus Score influence, and AI Briefing context are not included in this release.

Details

Added

• Added read-only Google account connection and calendar-list discovery using minimum OAuth permissions.
• Added explicit calendar selection, safe reconnect and local disconnect controls in Settings.

v01.60.0 3 August 2026
