What’s New in Notiwise v2.1.0

Released: February 2026 Focus: Bug fixes, improved statistics, enhanced user experience

Version 2.1.0 brings significant improvements based on user feedback and comprehensive testing.

Overview

What Changed:

✅ 8 major bug fixes
✅ New unified statistics system
✅ Enhanced user interface
✅ 93 unit tests (80%+ coverage)
✅ Comprehensive edge case handling

Impact:

More reliable priority tag detection
Better dashboard insights
Consistent experience across all interfaces

Bug Fixes

1. Calendar Addon Priority Tag Detection

Problem: Calendar addon always showed “No priority tag detected” even when tags existed.

Fix:

Now correctly displays actual priority symbols
Shows current priority level name
Indicates when smart reminders are active

Before: “No priority tag detected” After: “Current Priority: @@ (High Major) ✓ Smart reminders are active”

2. Semi-Visible Markers in Descriptions

Problem: No way to track which events were already processed by Notiwise.

Fix:

Added invisible markers in event descriptions
Prevents duplicate processing
Markers use zero-width characters (invisible to users)
Format: [Notiwise:tagName]

Benefit: Events are processed exactly once, even if you manually re-tag them.

3. Time Saved Calculation

Problem: Time saved showed 0 hours (incorrect calculation: 0.5 min/event).

Fix:

Updated to 2 minutes saved per event (more realistic)
Reflects actual time saved from automatic reminder setup
Dashboard now shows meaningful time savings

Example: 50 events processed = 100 minutes (1.7 hours) saved

4. Dashboard Custom Priority Markers

Problem: Dashboard didn’t show custom priority tags, only defaults.

Fix:

Dashboard now loads custom tags dynamically
Displays YOUR configured tags (not just @@, !!, #)
Updates automatically when you change tags in settings

Benefit: Dashboard always reflects your current configuration.

Problem: Settings button led to blank page.

Fix:

Fixed navigation to open onboarding-flow.html correctly
Settings button now opens in new tab
No more blank pages!

6. Priority Markers Consistency

Problem: Priority markers displayed differently across Gmail, Calendar, and Web interfaces.

Fix:

All interfaces now use getTags() function
Consistent symbol display everywhere
Custom tags work across all platforms

7. Version Display

Problem: No way to see which version of Notiwise you’re using.

Fix:

Version number now displayed in footer of all interfaces
Shows “Notiwise v2.1.0”
Easy to verify you’re on latest version

8. Priority Selection Indicator

Problem: No visual indicator showing currently selected priority.

Fix:

Added checkmark (✓) next to current selection
Makes it clear which priority is active
Improves user confidence

Example: “✓ @@ High Major” (selected) vs “@@ High Major” (not selected)

New Features

1. Unified Statistics System

What it is:

Single getUnifiedStats() function powers all statistics
Consistent metrics across Gmail addon, Calendar addon, and web dashboard
Real-time calculation from calendar data

Benefits:

No more conflicting statistics
Always up-to-date numbers
Reliable insights

2. Lifetime Event Tracking

What it is:

Tracks total events processed since installation
Tracks total reminders added
Stores installation date
Persistent across sessions

Metrics Available:

Total events processed (lifetime)
Total reminders added (lifetime)
Time saved (cumulative)
Events processed this week/month

How it works:

Uses Google Apps Script PropertiesService
Updates automatically when events are processed
Never resets (unless you clear settings)

3. Stress Reduction Score

What it is:

Calculates how much Notiwise reduces notification stress
Weighted score based on priority distribution
Higher score = better reminder optimization

Formula:

High priority events: Weight 3
Medium priority events: Weight 2
Low priority events: Weight 1
Percentage = (Weighted sum / Total events) × 100

Example:

10 high priority (weight 3) = 30 points
20 medium priority (weight 2) = 40 points
30 low priority (weight 1) = 30 points
Total: 100 points / 60 events = 42% stress reduction

4. Recent Events List

What it is:

Shows up to 5 most recently processed events
Displays event title, priority, and date
Updates in real-time on dashboard

Benefits:

Quick verification that events are being processed
See which priorities you’re using most
Confidence that Notiwise is working

5. Enhanced Error Handling

What it is:

Better error messages
Graceful handling of edge cases
NaN (Not a Number) prevention in statistics
Improved logging for debugging

Edge Cases Handled:

Events with no description
Missing priority tags
Invalid calendar IDs
Malformed event data
Google API temporary failures
