Ellie Planner vs Ever Teams: at a glance
What is Ellie Planner?
Ellie follows its MCP opening with a 30-day Trash and Google Calendar editing.
Ellie is a solo-built task and calendar planner on web, desktop, iPhone and iPad. The August catch-up release opened task data to outside agents through MCP and an API in beta, alongside iPad Week Calendar, Pomodoro and Quick Capture. The October 5 update added a 30-day Trash across platforms, Google Calendar editing and more iPhone features.
What is Ever Teams?
Ever Teams adds self-service account deletion amid a stream of same-day tags.
Ever Teams shipped v0.147.0 with account deletion from the Danger Zone and by e-mail link, built on Gauzy's account-deletion endpoint, followed by review fixes in the same release. Late October then brought v0.148.0's task-settings and invitation fixes, a Docker option that prints sign-in codes on the local API console, and a move of CI toward self-hosted runners. Four of the five most recent tags landed on 31 October.
Ellie Planner vs Ever Teams: editorial side-by-side
Ellie follows its MCP opening with a 30-day Trash and Google Calendar editing.
◆ Current state
Ellie is a solo-built task and calendar planner on web, desktop, iPhone and iPad. The August catch-up release opened task data to outside agents through MCP and an API in beta, alongside iPad Week Calendar, Pomodoro and Quick Capture. The October 5 update added a 30-day Trash across platforms, Google Calendar editing and more iPhone features.
◆ Where it's heading
After a long quiet stretch, releases are arriving more often and filling gaps in safety and calendar parity between platforms. MCP access remains the directional bet, while recent work is mostly parity and polish.
◆ Prediction
Expect more iPhone and iPad parity work; whether MCP access leaves beta is unclear from the entries.
Ever Teams adds self-service account deletion amid a stream of same-day tags.
◆ Current state
Ever Teams shipped v0.147.0 with account deletion from the Danger Zone and by e-mail link, built on Gauzy's account-deletion endpoint, followed by review fixes in the same release. Late October then brought v0.148.0's task-settings and invitation fixes, a Docker option that prints sign-in codes on the local API console, and a move of CI toward self-hosted runners. Four of the five most recent tags landed on 31 October.
◆ Where it's heading
The tag count continues to track merged pull requests, and v0.148.0's commit list labels its features as daily self-build maintenance. The real product change is alignment with Gauzy: account deletion, a same-origin image placeholder route and a shared image proxy all tie the web app more closely to that API. The move off dummyimage.com removes a third-party dependency.
◆ Prediction
Expect more version churn with Gauzy-aligned fixes beneath it. The account deletion review fixes suggest that flow will see further patches.
