CalThings Update — Widgets, Scan Feedback & a More Accurate Traditional Calendar

← Back to announcements

This update lets you check important info without opening the app, and makes scanning and the lunar calendar smarter and more accurate.

Highlights

  • New Home Screen Widget — Lunar Calendar Widget: Put the Chinese almanac on your home screen and see today’s Stems-and-Branches and solar terms at a glance.
  • New Home Screen Widget — Home Calendar Widget: Your notes and schedule appear right on the home screen, so you grasp the day the moment you pick up your phone.
  • Scan result off? Report it in one tap. When receipt / QR Code / expiry scan results aren’t right, you can now report directly from the preview screen to help CalThings get smarter. Offline? It automatically falls back to email so nothing gets stuck.
  • More accurate Chong (沖) family matching: Now using the full 60-year Sexagenary cycle so “Chong” alerts follow traditional calendar logic more faithfully, not just the zodiac year.
  • Overdue items return to your to-do list automatically: When you reopen the app, overdue notes are automatically added back to your pending list so nothing slips through.
