Runway 0.3.0 Release Notes

Two things in this release: to-do priority moves from High / Medium / Low to the ABCDE method, so a priority is a decision about what happens to the to-do rather than a label on it; and Runway gets a proper phone layout — a bottom tab bar, card lists instead of side-scrolling tables, and dialogs that don't fight the keyboard. Nothing changes on a desktop or tablet.

ABCDE to-do priority#

Every to-do now carries a letter, A to E, from Brian Tracy's *Eat That Frog!*:

| Letter | Label | Means | | --- | --- | --- | | A | Must do | Heaviest consequence first | | B | Should do | Only after every A | | C | Nice to do | No consequence today | | D | Delegate | Buys back A-task time | | E | Eliminate | No longer serves a purpose |

The one rule: never do a B while an A is undone.

Your existing to-dos are already mapped — High became A, Medium became B, Low became C. Nothing moved in a sorted list.
The table shows the letter as a coloured chip so the column stays narrow; hover it for the label. The to-do form spells out every option with what it means, so you don't have to leave the dialog to learn it.
D is a hand-off. Setting it opens the owner picker and asks who should own the to-do. It stays D after the reassign, so the new owner sees why they got it.
E is a drop. Setting it offers *Cancel this to-do* right there. It never cancels on its own.
Sorting and the crew sort lock work as before — A first.
Converting between an issue and a to-do maps the two scales: issue 1–2 → A, 3 → B, 4–5 → C; and A → 2, B → 3, C or D → 4, E → 5. Issues keep their 1–5 scale — issue priority is *how urgent to discuss*, to-do priority is *what to do first*.
Import accepts the letter, the label, the old High/Medium/Low from earlier exports, and the 1–5 issue scale. Export writes A · Must do, which re-imports exactly.
New to-dos start at B. Promote to A on purpose, not by default.

There's a one-time note on the To-Dos page explaining the switch; dismiss it once and it stays gone on that browser. The docs page at runwayos.io/docs/sections/to-dos has the method in full.

Also fixed: the Land the Plane page tip said 5 was the most urgent issue priority. It's 1, as the docs say.

Runway on a phone#

Runway worked on a phone before, but it was the desktop layout squeezed into 375 pixels: a crowded header, tables you side-scrolled to find the owner column, and add/edit dialogs half-covered by the keyboard. Below 640px wide it's now laid out for a thumb. Tablets and desktops are untouched — every phone treatment sits beside the existing layout, not in place of it.

The phone is for reading and light updates — your own to-dos and rocks, this week's scorecard numbers, the V/TO, and following a meeting someone else is running. Running a meeting is still a desktop job.

Bottom tab bar — Dashboard, To-Dos, Rocks, Issues and More, one tap away. More opens the same navigation the hamburger did, with Report Issue inside it. Section names follow your organization's relabels. The header keeps only search and your account menu, and New is a floating button above the tab bar.
Cards instead of tables on To-Dos, Flight Path, Land the Plane and Flight Announcements: title, owner, due date or status chip, and a tap opens the same sheet as before. Flight Path keeps its owner groups; rock actions are behind a … menu. Filters live in a bottom drawer with a count on the button; sort and search stay in the toolbar. Import and export are desktop-only.
Control Tower shows one card per metric — owner, name, goal, this week's number ready to type into, a small sparkline and a button to the trend — so entering a value is the whole job. The 13-week table is still there on a tablet or larger.
Following a meeting fills the screen. The header collapses to the gate code, a truncated title and an info button; crew, attendees, total time and the captain's gate are a tap away in a drawer. The tab bar and New button stay out of the way while a meeting is open.
Dialogs slide up from the bottom as a sheet, pinned above the keyboard and padded past the home indicator, instead of a small centred box with its own scrollbar.
Flight Deck fits the accountability chart to the phone width on first load. People Analyzer and the Crew Dashboard keep their first column pinned while you scroll sideways, and the crew details dialog is a full sheet.
Buttons you tap in a row or toolbar are 44px on a phone — the Apple/Google minimum — and the ones that only appeared on hover now show all the time on touch.
Under the hood: safe-area padding on notched phones, and dvh units in the app shell so nothing is hidden behind Safari's URL bar.

Verify at iPhone SE size first if you're reporting a layout problem — 375×667 is the floor we design to.
