I just got this updated, and the menubar window is just a blank. Nothing in itā€¦ so thatā€™s useful. Do I need to do something so itā€™s not blank? I tried restarting the app, installing it fresh. I donā€™t see a configuration or anything.

Agree with everyone above requesting an option to remove/disable this feature ASAP, especially since it is currently highly glitchy. I, too, am a multiple desktop screen user and clicking on the icon jumps me around my open screens (and the second button doesnā€™t even seem to do anything). Really disappointed in this update/addition.

I canā€™t believe this feature has been added WITHOUT an ability to toggle it on or off. I use the Mac version and I really, really want to remove the menu bar icon. Iā€™m sure lots of users will find it useful, but I absolutely do not.

What is the timeline on giving an option to toggle this?

Also, my own thread on this that I opened after being told that the menu item was not actually on my screen was manually closed after 3 days. Note that it was labeled as closed automatically after 7 days.

Iā€™d also like to turn this off. Terrible idea to implement without giving users the option to turn it off.

Hi @Rebecca_McGrath also wanted to highlight that the desktop app menu bar icon doesnā€™t always change when my workspace changes in the desktop app.

@Marie @Emily_Roman do we know whatā€™s the status of the quick access to priorities and timer? was it released officially? thanks

34

Hi @Bastien_Siebman, by timer are you referring to time tracking? If so, yes! Native time tracking in Asana is available in the Desktop app :slight_smile:

In regard to quick access to priorities, we currently only offer the option to set a focus for the week on mobile, see more details here.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

35

I am simply referring to the two screenshots in the very first message of the thread.

36

Got it! Both features should be available to all customers :slight_smile: Let me know if you are having trouble finding them.

37

I do. The settings in the app mention a Pomodoro timer, but I canā€™t seem to be able to start oneā€¦ :thinking:

Thanks for flagging! Iā€™ll investigate this further and will get back to you with an update here.
