Fox Project Organizer 3.0.0 and Fox for Teams

Fox 3.0.0 represents a huge leap for the app—we are now called Fox Project Organizer instead of Issue Tracker as we expand our horizons.

Important: There is a major data migration with 3.0.0 and above so it will be impossible to move back after migration completes. This occurs on application launch. This will also cause a full re-sync to your iCloud storage if enabled.

What’s New

  • Project-Isolated Attributes — Different projects can now have different properties for their issues, including Issue Types, Statuses, Priorities, Resolutions, Tags, and Link Types. Existing projects migrate automatically.
  • Redesigned Project Settings — Easily get an overview of your Project’s statistics and customize its properties.
  • Customizable Priorities — Priorities are now fully customizable and isolated per project, just like other attributes.
  • Updated Shortcuts & CSV Import — Both now support project-isolated attributes, including open-ended priorities by name.
  • Project Archives on iOS — Archive completed versions and milestones on iPhone and iPad.
  • Navigator Customization — Add any Status or Priority from the project to the Navigator for quick access.
  • Synced Settings — General settings, issue group defaults, milestone/version sort defaults, and Navigator configurations now sync across devices via iCloud.
  • Independent Issue Windows on iPadOS — Issues opened outside the Workspace now appear in their own movable windows.
  • Improved Issue History — Detailed tracking for property changes and assignments.
  • Fox for Teams — New collaborative features including issue assignments, project sharing, and history attribution to track who made changes.
  • Expanded Help Documentation — More comprehensive guides and materials.
  • Free Trial Support for those wanting to give Fox Project Organizer a spin.
  • Expanded Icon Set — Additional icons to choose from.
  • Customizable Line Height — Reduced default line height with an option to adjust in General Settings.
  • Free Trial of 14 days for users who want to give it a quick go
  • Improved iCloud conflict resolution to better ensure data is merged in obvious conflict scenarios, and when merging, considers date of last edit per property.
  • Under-the-hood improvements to performance and overall functionality.

Bug Fixes

  • Aligned the Status menu appearance across both platforms.
  • Fixed Help contents not displaying dark mode correctly on macOS.
