Misskey vs Tuta: at a glance
What is Misskey?
Misskey 2026.11 ships: a leaner start script, and Node.js 22 no longer boots.
Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically. Node.js v22 support ends, the minimum is now 24.22.3 or 26.13.1, and NODE_OPTIONS paths now resolve from the repository root. Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.
What is Tuta?
Tuta's One-Click Migration can now pull mail through Google and Microsoft APIs, not just IMAP.
Tuta is an encrypted email, calendar and drive suite that ships one numbered build across web, desktop, Android and iOS. The 368.261109 build adds the option to open attachments while composing and lets One-Click Migration import from Gmail and Microsoft accounts through their APIs as well as IMAP. The rest of the batch is bug fixes: list selection flashing, spam rules not updating, alias deactivation for shared mailboxes and connection errors during migration.

◆ Current state
Misskey 2026.11.0 is out after an alpha, two betas and a release candidate in a week. The new start script stops extra processes from staying resident, saving about 50MB per server on the official Docker image, which uses it automatically. Node.js v22 support ends, the minimum is now 24.22.3 or 26.13.1, and NODE_OPTIONS paths now resolve from the repository root. Smaller changes include better display of Mastodon quotes and an autoplay setting for URL previews.
◆ Where it's heading
Misskey's last two cycles are about making servers cheaper and safer to run: tighter Sentry data-collection defaults in 2026.10, lower memory and newer Node versions in 2026.11. Each one carries a breaking requirement that admins must check before upgrading.
◆ Prediction
Expect 2026.11.x patch releases for upgrade problems, especially around custom NODE_OPTIONS and systemd units. The entries do not show what the next feature cycle will target.
Tuta
5.0COMMS
Tuta's One-Click Migration can now pull mail through Google and Microsoft APIs, not just IMAP.
◆ Current state
Tuta is an encrypted email, calendar and drive suite that ships one numbered build across web, desktop, Android and iOS.

The rest of the batch is bug fixes: list selection flashing, spam rules not updating, alias deactivation for shared mailboxes and connection errors during migration.
◆ Where it's heading
The visible product work is aimed at switching: the migration tool keeps gaining source options and its error handling is getting attention, including the Proton Mail Bridge path. Releases fan out to every platform within hours, so most entries are the same fix list repeated per client.
◆ Prediction
Expect more migration fixes and sources in the next builds, plus follow-up patches like the November 10 mailto fix on the web app.
