πŸš€ Rakiz 0.4.3 Release

Good morning Android users πŸ‘‹

Version 0.4.3 is now available, introducing a new productivity enhancement while maintaining the UI and structural improvements from previous releases.

✨ What’s New​

πŸ”• Do Not Disturb Mode (NEW)​

  • Rakiz now activates Do Not Disturb mode during Focus sessions.
  • Helps eliminate distractions while the timer is running.
  • Automatically aligns with productivity workflow.
  • Designed to improve deep focus experience.

πŸ”„ Dynamic App Bar​

  • The AppBar updates dynamically based on the active session:
    • Focus
    • Short Break
    • Long Break
  • Improves visual feedback and session awareness.

πŸ›  Improvements​

  • Timer Typography Adjusted

    • Font size optimized to properly fit inside the circular layout.
    • Prevents overflow on smaller screen sizes.
  • Settings AppBar Alignment

    • Title alignment moved from center to start (left-aligned).
    • Improves readability and follows Material Design conventions.
  • Timer Settings Refactored

    • Timer duration configuration moved from the Home screen to Settings β†’ Timer.
    • Provides better organization and cleaner Home UI.

⚠️ Known Limitations​

The following features are currently UI-present but not fully functional:

  • Short Break duration customization
  • Long Break duration customization
  • Session length
  • Timer settings logic (partially implemented)

Currently, only the following are fully functional:

  • βœ… Focus set duration

These features are staged for full backend logic implementation in upcoming releases.

More updates will be rolled out progressively.
