Chronello Join the beta
Changelog

What's new in Chronello.

Every release of the Windows app. Chronello checks for updates on its own from version 1.1.0, so you'll see a note in Settings when a new one is out.

1.1.0 Beta

Rolling out October 2026

A new focus model that's faster and makes fewer wrong calls, plus a round of fixes.

Focus scoring

  • New AI model (Laya). Each window is checked about 10× faster, and on-task windows are wrongly flagged about half as often as before.
  • Remembers what it has seen. Reopening a page or app Chronello already checked is instant, across sessions.
  • “I'm on task” sticks. When you correct Chronello, it remembers that page and won't flag it again.
  • Smarter site rules. Developer docs on entertainment sites count as work, and game sections on news sites don't.

App

  • Loading screen while the app starts, instead of nothing.
  • New app icon to match the website.
  • Update notices and a “What's new” panel in Settings.

Security

  • Your saved sign-in is now encrypted by Windows instead of stored as plain text.
  • Your subscription is now checked by the app itself before a session starts.

Fixes

  • The “Today” history filter no longer includes yesterday's sessions.
  • The monthly chart now runs oldest to newest, like the weekly one.
  • Scores at the very start of a session are no longer thrown off.
  • Fixed a rare crash when a window closed while it was being checked.
  • Sites like Dropbox and Netflix are no longer mistaken for X/Twitter.

1.0.0 Beta

Beta launch

The first public beta: focus sessions scored by an on-device AI model, a dashboard, session history, breaks and a screen glow when you drift off-task.
