DeskRest 1.9.0: Complete Redesign + Clock Out Notes Feature
DeskRest 1.9.0 brings our biggest update yet: a complete settings and onboarding redesign, plus a highly requested Clock Out notes feature that keeps you focused on work-life balance.
✨ What's New in DeskRest 1.9.0
Complete Settings Redesign
We've completely rebuilt the settings experience from the ground up. Every screen, every interaction, and every visual element has been carefully redesigned to make DeskRest more intuitive and accessible than ever before.
- Rebuilt onboarding experience with clearer guidance that gets you set up in minutes
- Polished settings interface for easier customization with improved visual hierarchy
- Improved visual hierarchy for better user experience and faster navigation
- Streamlined controls for break intervals, flash reminders, and Clock Out setup
Clock Out Notes Feature
The Problem: You need to jot down important thoughts during Clock Out without disabling the feature or opening other apps that might pull you back into work mode.
The Solution: A built-in notepad directly on the Clock Out screen that respects your boundaries while keeping you productive.
Key Benefits:
- Capture important thoughts without breaking digital boundaries
- Avoid temptation to check other apps or fall back into work mode
- Maintain work-life separation while staying productive
- Auto-save functionality for peace of mind—never lose a thought again
Why This Update Matters
Better Break Management
The redesigned interface removes friction from healthy work habits. Clear, intuitive controls mean you're more likely to customize DeskRest to fit your specific needs—and more importantly, you're more likely to stick with your wellness routine over the long term.
Smarter Work-Life Balance
Clock Out Notes acknowledges a fundamental truth: inspiration doesn't follow schedules. Sometimes your best ideas come at 6 PM when you're supposed to be done with work. Now you can capture those thoughts while still protecting your personal time and relationships.
This feature represents our philosophy that technology should enhance human behavior, not fight against it. Instead of forcing you to choose between capturing important thoughts and maintaining boundaries, DeskRest 1.9.0 gives you both.
User-Driven Development
Every feature in 1.9.0 came directly from community feedback. This is what happens when we listen to how you actually use DeskRest:
- Settings feedback → Complete interface redesign with better navigation
- Clock Out requests → Built-in notes functionality that respects boundaries
- Onboarding confusion → Streamlined setup process that gets you started faster
This is the power of user-driven development: features that solve real problems in ways that feel natural and intuitive.
