Tinn 0.3.2 ships today. It is the largest release since the app went out, so this post is longer than usual. Here is what landed and why.
Schedule
Tinn now has a Schedule tab. It is a real project schedule, not a placeholder: a Gantt chart with tasks, dependencies, constraints, and a critical path that recomputes as you edit.
- Edit directly on the chart. Drag a bar to move a task, drag its edge to change duration, double-click to rename. Link tasks to build dependencies. Set constraints (start no earlier than, finish no later than, must start on, must finish on) when a date is fixed.
- Working calendars. Define which days count as work days and add exceptions for holidays or site closures. The schedule respects them when it lays out dates.
- Baselines. Snapshot a plan, then watch the live schedule drift against it. Ghost bars show where each task was supposed to be, and a variance column tells you how far ahead or behind you are.
- A timeline that moves the way you expect. Scroll into the past and future without hitting a wall, drag the header to pan, hold Ctrl and scroll to zoom to the cursor, and jump back to today with one button. Zoom levels run from Day up to Year.
- Starter templates. Begin from a fit-out, RIBA, or Norwegian building-phase template instead of a blank chart.
- Programme PDF. Export the schedule as a clean, print-ready programme in the paper size you choose. Printing from the Schedule tab opens the preview in programme mode automatically.
- Linked tasks. Connect a schedule item to a task in the Tasks tab and see the link from both sides.
Product cards
- Goal vs actual. Set a goal value on a product field and Tinn flags when an alternative does not meet it. Dimensions compare in native millimetres, and per-field tolerance lets a value sit close enough without being marked a miss.
- A real field catalog. Adding fields to a product now draws from a curated catalog of around 200 architectural and engineering fields across categories, with search, instead of free text every time.
- First-class units. Length, area, and volume fields carry proper units, including mm3 and cm3 volume, so values stay comparable.
- Batch AI summaries. Generate summaries for every product at once instead of one at a time.
Clips
- Multi-image clips. A clip can now carry a gallery of images, not just one. The product list and print view show the gallery, and the clipboard inbox has a preview strip.
- Clipper 1.5. The Chrome clipper got a full design overhaul to match Tinn Desktop, including dark mode.
Everywhere
- Hover hints on every tab. Hover almost any control and a short hint explains what it does. Fully translated into Norwegian and Portuguese alongside the rest of the app.
Under the hood
A large amount of this release was cleanup: several files that had grown past a thousand lines were split into proper modules, and the project-file schema advanced through a run of migrations. None of it is visible, and that is the point. Your existing projects open and migrate forward without you doing anything.
How to update
If Tinn is already installed, the auto-updater will prompt you on next launch. Your projects are safe: an older version opens a newer file in read-only mode, and updating migrates it forward. New here? Download from the Download page.
