Support read-only .ics calendar subscriptions
I work on several client projects that use Outlook calendars, and their internal IT policies block third-party apps from connecting to company accounts (no OAuth access for external apps). That means I can't connect these calendars to Locu directly. The workaround Outlook allows is a private .ics link (published calendar URL). It would be great if Locu could subscribe to .ics URLs as a one-way, read-only sync, so these events appear in my timeline and I can plan time blocks around them. What I'd need: Add a calendar by pasting an .ics URL Events shown read-only alongside my connected calendars Periodic refresh (e.g. every 15–30 minutes) Ability to add multiple .ics feeds, with a name/color for each This would let me see all my commitments in one place without breaking company security policies. Many consultants and freelancers working across multiple clients are likely in the same situation.

Bug: All day events from my Calendar not updating
All day calendar events from my Apple Calendar not showing previous events. For example today is Monday, the Locu sidebar correctly shows my meetings/events for the day from my calendar but the top line (all-day event) is what was listed yesterday (Sunday’s all-day event)
In Progress
Breaks are responsive to the calendar
If I finish a meeting early and a break is toggled, it should only be within the limit of my calendar and end before my next scheduled meeting. Example: Meeting 1: 11:30-12 Meeting 2: 12-1 If meeting 1 ends at 11:50, the break should only run for 10 minutes. Currently it appears to begin with a 20 minute interval.

Set number of working days
When working on a project for less than 5 days (or 7 when weekend is being checked), you will never reach your weekly goals as it stands. It would be great if one could set the number of working days and a weekly goal via the settings.
Planned
Improve Linear sub-issue import behaviour
When importing issues from Linear, parent issues and sub-issues are currently shown as a flat list with no visible hierarchy. This makes it hard to understand which issues belong together and adds friction when trying to mirror a Linear issue structure inside Locu What would help Show sub-issues nested or indented beneath their parent issue during import Allow importing all sub-issues automatically when a parent issue is imported Too Much Friction Right now, importing a parent issue with its related sub-issues is more manual than it should be. The current workflow (for me) feels too fragmented: Find each issue separately in the list Import issues one by one Manually reorganise them afterward in Locu
Planned
Timed Sessions for Subtasks / Breakdown Steps
Currently timed sessions can only be done with the top most / parent Tasks. This works fine though not being able to plan out sessions or track time for subtasks can be a pain point if your workflow is more granular.
Planned
Custom issues integration
The feature of having issues connected to tasks is really appealing but it is only available through Linear and Jira. You won’t make your company switch their issues manager and it would be hard to support them all so I’m asking for a way to custom create issues through the API. There is an option to just create tasks with task description and auto add a link but the synced issue UI is better than that. I would like to leave the task description and breakdown for my own notes etc.
In Progress
Blockers in Windows
It would be great if app/website blockers could be made possible for windows. That would be serving the purpose of getting locu in the first place.
Planned
Calendar view / Weekly planning
I am requesting weekly planning. Every weekly I plan my weekend with weekly summary. I would need feature helps me to plan future and summarize actual week. After week we might evaluate if everything was done or not with our summary for the week similar as for Today’s wrap up. Task planned for specific day would apear in today’s tasks. Weekly planning and weekly summary may be treated as task / event to schedule but it is not necessary. I would like to schedule irregular tasks for specific day view full week view and make summarize about my week, what went well, what not, what I did, what I did not, was I exhausted, did I sleep well, etc. I plan things need to be done.
Planned
Habbits / repetitive tasks
I am requesting a Habits feature, or in other words, support for recurring tasks. Habits are repetitive tasks that users can schedule throughout the week. For example, a user may create a habit such as "Read a business book for 3 hours every Monday" or "Go to the gym every two days." Each habit or recurring task can be assigned to a project, such as "Strategy & Operations Competence" or "Muscular Physique." Habits should be visible in different views, such as List view, and users should be able to create them from and Task Panel (Projects or All Tasks), and Today Panel. We might mark them as completed or not done / was not done (different status then to-do) for some reasons (lack of time, or different task wiht higher importance). Users should also be able to see habits measurements from the Insights Panel. In the left sidebar of the Task Panel, a dedicated Habits section could be placed above Projects and below Tasks. This would make habits easier to track.

clean up activity tracking
There are a lot of weird rough edges when working with the activity log, especially when trying to retroactively modify activities: Can’t “switch to meeting” after the end of the scheduled time of a meeting Can’t modify start time of a meeting while it is ongoing Can’t drag the end of an activity to make it <4 minutes If you forget to end a session at the end of the day, when you open locu the next day you can’t easily set the end time of the session You can delete the session completely but then you lose real data from the session start time and possible task sessions within the session You can drag the beginning of the task session before midnight, then go to the previous day, and drag it to the actual end time, then do that again but for the session Both this and previous would be most easily fix with a dialog where you can just type the activity duration or the start/end time Modifying the start/end of the session moves the task sessions inside the session. This almost never makes sense. The task sessions don’t really ever mean “this task was worked on for 15 minutes, 12 minutes after the session was started”. It means “this task was worked on from 10:30 to 10:45”. The only time I want changes in the session to affect the task sessions, is when the task session no longer fits inside the session. Then, the task session should be truncated to fit inside the session. If I move the start or end time of a task session, if it overlaps with another task session, I want it to push that task session out of the way (not by moving the task session, see above, but by truncating whichever end is overlapped) Right now, I have to update the start of one task, then the end of the other task to match. Time that is both in a session and in a meeting is double-counted in the day total work time Really like being able to retroactively see my task log, but I do a lot of context switching and the UX of the activities pane is the main pain point for me in Locu. Thanks!
Planned
MS Outlook integration
A direct integration with MS 365 / Outlook would be great. A lot of companies use the MS suite. A decent workaround is to publish the ICS of the Outlook calendar and subscribe to it in the Google account integrated with Locu, but a direct integration would always be nice :)
Completed
Automatically start Locu during startup
Hi, It would be great if Locu is able to start automatically during startup (runs in the background) and be able to bring it out by using a shortcut key.
Completed
Remove from today
Add option to remove task from today, move it to sooner or later list, maybe also add keyboard shortcut. When there is change of plans or priority, need option to simply drop some tasks from today.
In Progress
Planned project sessions
Add ability to plan your sessions without specifying task, but rather project or tag. When planning I need ability to block time for specific project rather than a specific task. While in the session, tasks list could be filter for tasks based on project session.
Planned
Support for task priorities
At minimum show priority from linear directly in task list. (Important for planning phase) I would also benefit from simple priority system for internal Locu tasks.
Completed
Local-first architecture
I’m considering switching to Locu as my primary productivity platform, and I have a few questions regarding what you mean by “lifetime“ support. On the pricing page, you state: “Pay once, use forever.” Could you clarify what this means in practice? My main concern isn’t lifetime updates - I’d be happy to pay for continued development if needed. Rather, I’m thinking about long-term access and usability. For example, will I still be able to use the app one, five, or even ten years from now? More specifically: Would the app continue to function if Locu as a company no longer existed? Is Locu designed with a local-first architecture? In line with local-first principles, would the app remain usable indefinitely without official hosting or an internet connection (excluding data synchronization, of course)? Understanding this would help me assess whether Locu is a viable long-term platform for my workflow.
Completed
Broader Jira app permissions than needed
From Jira, I see the app has these permissions: Locu can perform the following actions: View user information in Jira that the user has access to, including usernames, email addresses, and avatars. Fetch, register, refresh, and delete dynamically declared Jira webhooks. Read Jira project and issue data, search for issues, and objects associated with issues like attachments and worklogs. Create and edit issues in Jira, post comments as the user, create worklogs, and delete issues. I suppose Jira webhooks are needed for real-time sync from Jira to Locu, that’s okay. But I don’t get why can it: create issues - i don’t see this option inside Locu edit issues - i cannot edit the Jira task from Locu post comments - i cannot post comments create worklogs - i don’t see the option delete issues - i cannot delete Every one of these options I want to be able to disable them IF they are implemented. And if they’re not implemented, the app shouldn’t have those permissions at all. I was really hesitant allowing this app to be connected to Jira. Please this is really important for me and possibly for your other users.

Hijri Calendar With Maghrib-Based Day Change
Hi Locu team, Thank you for building Locu. I really value the focus and intentional design of the app. I wanted to request a feature that would be extremely meaningful for Muslim users. An optional Hijri (Islamic) calendar, with a setting where the day changes at Maghrib time, not at midnight. In Islam, the new day begins at sunset. Having a Hijri calendar that reflects this correctly would make Locu unique and genuinely useful for planning daily routines, spiritual practices, and long-term goals. Personally, if this feature existed, I would seriously consider moving away from all Gregorian calendar apps, including Google Calendar, and using Locu as my primary planning tool. To my knowledge, no mainstream productivity app handles the Hijri calendar correctly with a Maghrib-based day change, and this would truly set Locu apart. Even offering this as an optional toggle would already be incredibly valuable. Thank you for considering this request, and for the work you are doing on the app.

Project filter for tasks and tasks Estimated time
Hello, thank you very much for your app. Recently I've been trying several focus and to-do productivity tools. I saw your product on Reddit and I'm also trying hard to learn how to use it. I have two feature questions: are these something you would consider developing? 1. Does Tasks have a filter for Projects? I understand that you can see tasks within each Project, but on the Tasks page I think users could more intuitively see whether each task is one of today's tasks. And maybe some tasks are my side projects, and I don't want tasks from those side projects to interfere with my work. 2. Estimated time for each task I can understand treating each session as a focused time block to complete a task, but sometimes I also want to know whether the time I spent on a particular task matched my expectations. Sometimes only in retrospect can I determine which tasks in that session took more time than necessary. Above are some of my questions. Thank you for developing this app — I wish you all the best with your work. 💯💯💯
