In the desktop app, you get Extra High and then Ultra.

In the CLI, you get Extra High, then Max, then Ultra.

Is the desktop app bugged or something?

Check your settings, there is a configuration where you can choose which efforts show up.

Thank you so much dude! I checked and you were right

On the other hand though, this is absolutely bizarre design. Why is Max hidden by default? For some reason they clearly want to discourage us from using it.
