A side-by-side editorial comparison of Ever Teams and Planify — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Ever Teams tags dozens of versions a day; most are fixes and test changes.
Ever Teams tags several releases a day. On 12 November 0.196 added a Jira Cloud integration section, timer notes and a Workspace settings page, and 0.197 added a due-date calendar, drag-to-reschedule and a Table layout for team tasks. The releases tagged around midnight on 13 November are small: a dismissable newsletter card, spelling-list and test fixes, a dependency bump, Docs export fixes, and in 0.199.0 a keyboard shortcut to assign tasks.
Planify 4.20 lands Nextcloud Deck sync and a productivity goals system, crossing from personal task manager into team-adjacent territory.
Planify has been on an active release cycle through 2026, shipping multiple minor releases focused on CalDAV compatibility, bug hardening, and incremental UX polish. The 4.20.0 release breaks from this pattern with two substantial additions: two-way Nextcloud Deck sync (boards/stacks/cards map to projects/sections/tasks with label, archive, and order preservation) and a structured productivity goals system with daily/weekly targets and an 8-week activity heatmap. These land alongside a natural-language date picker (via Chrono), improved PDF export, and notable memory usage reductions.

The project ships through an automated release loop that tags every merged change, so version numbers say little about scope. Real features still arrive every day or two, aimed at task views, time tracking and integrations with other project tools.
Expect the version count to keep climbing quickly, with the occasional release adding a task view or integration among many fix-only tags.

Planify is extending outward from personal task management toward team-adjacent workflows by making Nextcloud Deck a first-class data source. The CalDAV compatibility work — ETag handling, sync-token fallback, VALARM reminder sync — keeps it connected to the open-source groupware ecosystem broadly. The productivity goals and reporting layer suggests investment in retention features rather than pure workflow tooling, trying to give users a daily reason to open the app.
Deeper Nextcloud Deck integration — comments, assignment metadata, due date bidirectionality — is the logical next step given that 4.20.0 covers board structure but not all Deck metadata. The GNOME Online Accounts and GNOME Shell search integration suggest continued investment in platform-native discoverability.
