A side-by-side editorial comparison of Fibery and Quidlo — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Fibery's Custom Apps go GA, completing its turn from work tracker to embedded app platform
Fibery spent the past quarter building and shipping Custom Apps — AI-generated mini-apps buildable inside the platform via Claude, ChatGPT, or MCP. Custom Apps launched publicly in mid-August after two months of experimental iteration. In the same period, Fibery added AI-driven automation creation, a usage dashboard tracking AI and integration consumption, and expanded MCP coverage to rich text editing and direct Custom Apps authoring. The platform is shipping weekly with a mix of headliner features and steady bug fixing.
Quidlo's feed is a batch of evergreen productivity explainers crawled in one pass.
All entries share a single publish timestamp, indicating a bulk crawl of evergreen blog content: time-tracking benefits, productivity metrics, and procrastination facts. Quidlo is a time-tracking tool; this feed is generic productivity content with no product changes.

Fibery is repositioning from a flexible project tracker into a platform where teams build custom tooling on top of their own data, without leaving the workspace. The Custom Apps launch — AI-generated, embeddable in documents, now on a versioned platform — is the clearest statement of that direction. MCP integration at multiple layers (rich text, apps, automations) shows Fibery making itself a first-class target in AI-native workflows rather than bolting on a chat widget.
The next likely move is tying Custom Apps directly into Fibery's automation engine — AI-built apps that trigger and respond to automations — which would close the loop between the platform's two main new capability axes. The breaking platform update to Custom Apps in September signals further architectural changes are coming before the feature stabilizes.

No product trajectory is visible, the feed is static educational content captured in one crawl pass rather than a release stream.
Nothing here supports a confident product prediction; the crawl source should be re-pointed at an actual changelog.
