Meridian 1.27.0

June 22, 2026

A command palette, a Pomodoro focus timer that logs your work, full Google Calendar history, and a batch of polish.

Command palette — Press ⌃⌘M from anywhere to bring Meridian forward and open one palette to search, run a command, or jot a task or event in plain language (“lunch with Sam tomorrow at noon”). You can change the shortcut in Settings.
Focus timer & Pomodoro — A single focus timer that works as a Pomodoro: tap to start a 25-minute focus block, with short breaks between and a longer break after the fourth. Each block is recorded as work, and the tasks you finish and the meetings that happen during it are tied to that block.
Today opens instantly — Your daily summary is cached, so the Today view loads right away and refreshes when something changes.
Full Google Calendar history — Meridian now backfills your complete calendar history, newest first, so past events are there when you look back.

Snappier capture — Typing in the command palette stays smooth; parsing happens instantly and off the main thread.
Consistent shortcuts — ⌘1 through ⌘5 jump to Today, Workspace, Calendar, Contacts, and Connections, matching the menu order.
Stronger account security — Repeated failed admin sign-ins now back off and lock out, and connected-account webhooks are hardened against tampering.
Mac polish — Cleaner window chrome and a balanced sidebar header.

Agenda stays forward-looking — It no longer shows days that have already passed.
Converted tasks look right — A task you create from a message starts as “not started” instead of appearing already active.
More reliable sync — Behind-the-scenes fixes so changes apply once and don’t get dropped.
