What is Reclaim.ai?

Reclaim's roadmap has narrowed to OOO and Slack polish as its release cadence slows

Reclaim's recent shipping is concentrated on out-of-office and Slack integration — custom Slack OOO auto-replies and team OOO calendars are its only two 2026 entries. The rest of the visible feed is from 2025 (a Slack app overhaul, travel timezones, scheduling-link branding). The cadence has thinned noticeably, with multi-month gaps between releases.

What is Todoist?

Todoist's 2026 bets are on capture: voice via Ramble, photos and files via Task Capture.

The entries SparkPulse tracks for Todoist are help-center index pages rather than dated release notes, so the detail is thin. They show a 2026 built around getting tasks into the app with less typing: Ramble turns spoken thoughts into tasks (January), came to Wear OS in beta (March), and Task Capture scans notes, photos and files for tasks (beta, April). Later months cover urgency triage and capturing tasks wherever they appear, while the experimental track retired Goals and simplified Quick Add.

Reclaim.ai vs Todoist: editorial side-by-side

R2.5

Reclaim's roadmap has narrowed to OOO and Slack polish as its release cadence slows

◆ Current state

Reclaim's recent shipping is concentrated on out-of-office and Slack integration — custom Slack OOO auto-replies and team OOO calendars are its only two 2026 entries. The rest of the visible feed is from 2025 (a Slack app overhaul, travel timezones, scheduling-link branding). The cadence has thinned noticeably, with multi-month gaps between releases.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is iterating on team-coordination edges — OOO visibility, Slack presence sync — rather than its core AI scheduling. Combined with the slowed cadence, the signal reads as consolidation and polish over expansion.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued OOO/Slack-coordination refinements; the multi-month gaps between releases suggest no major net-new capability is imminent based on the entries shown.

T0.0

Todoist's 2026 bets are on capture: voice via Ramble, photos and files via Task Capture.

◆ Current state

The entries SparkPulse tracks for Todoist are help-center index pages rather than dated release notes, so the detail is thin. They show a 2026 built around getting tasks into the app with less typing: Ramble turns spoken thoughts into tasks (January), came to Wear OS in beta (March), and Task Capture scans notes, photos and files for tasks (beta, April). Later months cover urgency triage and capturing tasks wherever they appear, while the experimental track retired Goals and simplified Quick Add.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is AI-assisted capture spreading across inputs and devices: speech first, then images and documents, then other surfaces. The experimental channel is being used to test and prune, as the retired Goals beta shows, so not every beta becomes a permanent feature.

◆ Prediction

Expect Task Capture and Ramble to leave beta or spread to more platforms; the index pages don't give dates, so timing is unclear.
