What is Groundhogg?
Groundhogg 4.10 ends a year of quiet with a phone app, AI setup and dark mode.
Groundhogg is a WordPress CRM and marketing automation plugin whose visible releases centre on its flow editor and broadcasts. After 4.2.6 in October 2025, the feed was quiet for a year until 4.10 on October 30, 2026, which lets users install the CRM on a phone, connect ChatGPT or Claude in a few clicks, and switch the admin to dark mode.
What is Less Annoying CRM?
Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.

Groundhogg
2.5CRM
Groundhogg 4.10 ends a year of quiet with a phone app, AI setup and dark mode.
◆ Current state
Groundhogg is a WordPress CRM and marketing automation plugin whose visible releases centre on its flow editor and broadcasts. After 4.2.6 in October 2025, the feed was quiet for a year until 4.10 on October 30, 2026, which lets users install the CRM on a phone, connect ChatGPT or Claude in a few clicks, and switch the admin to dark mode.
◆ Where it's heading
The 4.10 release moves beyond the flow editor toward access from anywhere and AI assistants connected to the CRM. Versions 4.3 to 4.9 are missing from the feed, so the steps in between are not visible.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-up 4.10.x releases around the AI connection and mobile app; the feed's gaps make the cadence hard to predict.

◆ Current state
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.
◆ Where it's heading
The work stays on the daily record view: making the current state of a client easier to see as history grows. No AI, pricing or integration moves appear in the entries.
◆ Prediction
More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.
