Wakapi
A critical auth bypass lands in the middle of Wakapi's slow identity rebuild.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Grocy and Tability — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Grocy opened a plugin seam for barcode lookups, then went quiet for a year.
Grocy releases on a slow, maintainer-paced rhythm — a handful of releases across 2024 and 2025, then a single 4.6.0 in March 2026 that makes PHP 8.5 with SQLite 3.40+ the only supported runtime. The functional work concentrates on stock handling: quantity-unit defaults that stay editable until a product has been in stock, automatic 1:1 unit conversions when no default applies, and a long tail of filter and validation fixes across the stock, shopping list and master data pages.
Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.
Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

The notable structural move was 4.4.0, which introduced external barcode lookup as a product-picker workflow with a pluggable backend and shipped an Open Food Facts plugin on by default. That converted Grocy from a purely self-contained ledger into something that pulls product data from the outside world, and the releases since have mostly been refining that plugin — localized names, empty-name handling, image URLs with query parameters. Beyond it, the direction is consolidation: fewer rough edges, a tighter supported runtime, no expansion of scope.
Expect continued single-release years focused on stock and quantity-unit correctness. The barcode plugin interface is the one place where new capability could arrive without new maintainer surface, so additional lookup providers are the most plausible next addition.
Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.
The two tracks are converging, and the sequencing tells the story. Delegating goals to AI agents shipped first; the releases since have been building the structure those agents need to reason over — who reports to whom, what depends on what, which slice of a busy workspace a question is actually about. Overflow controls on large maps and a refreshed Initiatives view point at customers with enough plans and people for readability to become the constraint, which is a different buyer than the small-team OKR tool this category started as. Import friction is being attacked from the same direction: an AI-assisted path out of spreadsheets, with review gates before anything is created.
Expect the agent features to start consuming the graph the recent releases exposed — dependency-aware and reporting-line-aware agent actions rather than per-goal delegation — and the scheduled-prompt mechanism behind executive summaries to widen into other recurring outputs.
