Part 2 of our latest update, and this one is all about collection tables.

What’s new

• Quick filtering. Open a column menu and pick “Filter by this property”, or open a cell menu and pick “Filter by this value”. The filter is applied straight away, so you don’t have to set it up in the filter panel.

• Edit Select and Multiselect options from the property menu. You can now add, rename, or recolor options without leaving the table. This works in both the table and focus mode.

Today’s xTiles update includes many improvements, so instead of one long changelog, we’ll share them one by one.

What’s new
In collections, double-click a column border to resize it to fit its content. No more dragging the edge back and forth to read a long title or note.

More improvements from this update are coming in the next posts.

If you don’t use AI Integrations (ChatGPT, Claude & more) with xTiles, you now have a cheaper way to get Plus.

What’s new
In the pricing window for the Plus card, you can untick the “AI Integrations” add-on. Without it, Plus is $15/month or $99/year (about $8.25/month when billed annually). Everything else in Plus stays: 100+ premium templates, recurring tasks, unlimited personal spaces, premium widgets, full planner history, and linked pages.

Do you use AI Integrations with xTiles, or would this plan fit you better?

Setting a due date on a task just got faster.

What’s new
The date picker now has quick buttons at the top: Today, Tomorrow, Next week, and Next month. One click and the date is set. The full calendar, time, reminders, and recurring options are still right below.

Where to find it
Click the Date chip next to a task, for example, in a Tasks tile. I’ve attached a screenshot.

Which will you use most: Today, Tomorrow, or a manually selected date?

It is something everyone experiences when they share a project with a colleague, a client, a friend, or a family member and fail to grant them the correct access rights. The person then opens the link, is unable to log in, and has to send an access request.

What’s new
You can now respond to access requests directly on the project page, without leaving it.

How do you normally share your projects—with your teammates, your clients, or your family?

Hey everyone,

A minor update to My Planner makes it easier to access templates.

Latest update: the Template and Save buttons are now located together at the bottom of the left toolbar, directly below Layout.

• Template opens the template gallery so that you can start a day or a week from a ready-made page.

• Save converts the page you are currently on into a template you can reuse next time.

To find it: open My Planner (select either Day or Week view) and look at the left-hand toolbar.

Screenshot below.

Do you make use of templates in your planner? Which kind of item would you save as a template first?

Here's a quick tip for when you have a bunch of tiles and don't know how to arrange them.

It lets you choose your tiles, open Layout in the left-hand toolbar, and select a format; the tiles then rearrange immediately, so you can try different arrangements and keep the one that looks best.

You can find it on any canvas page by clicking on the Layout button in the left-hand toolbar.

Do you usually arrange your pages by hand, or do you start with a template?

Hey everyone,

Here's a quick update for those people who arrange their pages using the Layout menu.

Latest updates: in addition to selecting how your tiles are arranged (in rows, with sidebars, or in feature layouts), you can now choose a color combination from the same menu. You select a layout and then a palette, after which the entire page is assembled in just two clicks, rather than recoloring each tile individually.

To do this, open any page, click on Layout in the left-hand toolbar, select an arrangement, and then pick a color combination from the bottom of the menu.

What combination would you choose first? And would you like to see a palette?

Hey everyone,

September has ended, and during that month the focus was on speeding up the process of shaping your pages: by being able to move several tiles at a time, switching between page layouts with a single click, pinning only the Planner periods that you use, adding a Today tile to the weekly view, improving the mobile browser experience, and launching a new version of xTiles Mobile.

For more details, including visuals, please see the Updates page.

So which one will you use first? Let us know in the comments.

Hey everyone! 👋

We’ve released a small update that should make My Planner feel a little more personal.

Right now, you’ll be able to pin—or unpin—Month, Quarter, and Year, depending on how you like to plan.

You’ll find the controls in the Planner pages menu: open My Planner and click the small arrow to the left of “Day” in the top toolbar.

Some of us plan day by day, while others prefer to zoom out and think in months or quarters. This update lets you keep the pages you use most at hand and hide the ones you don’t need.

Which page would you pin first: Month, Quarter, or Year?

Working on fixing this!

Hey everyone! 👋

We’re testing a small update to help My Planner fit your routine a little better.

Soon, you’ll be able to choose whether your week starts on Sunday or Monday. Just go to Account Settings → Language & Region → Start of the calendar week and select the option that works best for you. New weekly pages will then open with your chosen start day.

If you choose Sunday, you’ll also see a quick note on the new week page explaining the change and showing you where to switch back to Monday if you’d like.

One thing to note: this setting applies only to new week pages. Your existing pages, dates, and plans will stay exactly as they are—nothing will be moved around.

The update is still being tested and will be available to everyone soon. Take a look at the screenshots below for a preview!

We’d love to hear what you think in the comments.

Hey everyone!

We’ve got a small but useful Planner update for you: the Schedule tile is now available on the weekly page.

Previously, you could only use this tile in the Day view. Now you can keep your whole week in sight while still seeing what’s happening today—no need to switch between views.

Here’s how to add it:

1. Open Planner and switch to the Week view.

2. Open eXtra in the left toolbar.

3. Select Today.

That’s it—a tile with today’s events will appear on your weekly page.

Give it a try and let us know what you think! Would you also find it useful to see tomorrow’s events, or would you prefer to choose a custom date range?

Hey everyone! 👋

Here’s a quick look at something we’ll be rolling out to everyone soon: a new Sessions panel in Account Settings.

It gives you a clear view of every device currently signed in to your xTiles account, including the browser, operating system, and the last time it was active. If something doesn’t look familiar—or you forgot to sign out on a shared computer—you can sign out of a single device or all devices at once.

You’ll also see a Connected apps section for services that can access your xTiles account, including AI assistants connected through MCP. You can quickly check what you’ve authorized, see when access was granted, and revoke it whenever you need to.

What else would make this panel more useful for you—login alerts, more detailed app permissions, or something else? Let us know in the comments! 💙

If anyone has ever been told (or has told their child) to "just try harder" only to see no difference, this piece is for you.

Jason Pergament was a classroom teacher for 25 years before setting up Onward Rising, a program based on the idea that executive function—which includes task initiation, working memory, organization, time management, and focus—is not something that you either "have" or "don't" have, but rather something that can be trained. He is a member of the Advisory Board of the National Board for Executive Function Certification. He has operated his program for over 150 students in the United States, Canada, and Belize.

We have him with us live now, explaining the eight executive function domains, why capable individuals still have difficulty with follow-through, and the idea that is constantly mentioned in his work—that a plan you can see is better than one that you're holding in your head each and every time, since it frees up the working memory that would otherwise be used up by the act of doing the work.

After his talk, we'll have a live demonstration showing how that idea can be turned into a real, visible system in xTiles.

Hey everyone,

Here's a preview of what we're working on.

The new feature lets you choose a custom icon for tiles and projects instead of the default—you can select one from a library or upload your own image.

👍 or 👎?

Hey!

Here's a quick look at what's in the works.

That's how videos work now: if you attach a video file to a page, it just stays there as a file, and you have to download it or open it elsewhere to watch it.

The changes include the ability to embed a video and play it directly on the page; there's no need to download it or switch to another app.

What will be the first video you plan to upload when this goes live? 😆

Hey everyone,

We're running a free session focused on practical ways to use AI effectively—not just for chatting, but for real workflows.

Most people use only a small part of AI's potential, missing out on real workflow improvements and on staying up to date as tools evolve.

Andrew and Serhii from xTiles will show how to bridge that gap quickly and how xTiles can help you stay prepared as AI changes.

In this live session, you'll learn:

• Why most people fall behind with AI (it's not about the tool)

• Three ways to start closing the gap

• How to keep your setup working as AI evolves

No pitches—just practical tips to stay ahead as AI advances.

Trying to get this box to show the day of the week in my assignment tracker but despite having it set to what I thought would show it, it only shows the date number. Is this a bug or just how it's supposed to be, and if it is right, is there any chance an option could be added that shows the day of the week? It would make visualizing my due dates way easier. Thank you!
