What is Leantime?

Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.

Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.

What is Uplisting?

Vacation rental PMS unifies guest communication and reopens its partner API, then goes quiet for four months.

Uplisting is a short-term rental property management platform with deep Airbnb integration. Late 2025 and early 2026 ran three coordinated tracks: a unified guest inbox spanning OTA, SMS, and email; financial reporting overhauls (Client Statements 2.0 in November after the June revamp); and Airbnb-specific automation (alterations, New Listing Promotion, Gap Night Settings). The mobile app was fully rebuilt in January.

Leantime vs Uplisting: editorial side-by-side

L5.0

Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.

◆ Current state

Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.

◆ Where it's heading

The release cadence is roughly one feature version every two weeks, split between finer access control and a plugin marketplace that carries more functionality. Core changes increasingly exist to give plugins stable hooks, as the calendar rework shows.

◆ Prediction

Expect more marketplace plugins built on the new calendar and permission hooks, and further permission work extending to the remaining modules.

U0.0

Vacation rental PMS unifies guest communication and reopens its partner API, then goes quiet for four months.

◆ Current state

Uplisting is a short-term rental property management platform with deep Airbnb integration. Late 2025 and early 2026 ran three coordinated tracks: a unified guest inbox spanning OTA, SMS, and email; financial reporting overhauls (Client Statements 2.0 in November after the June revamp); and Airbnb-specific automation (alterations, New Listing Promotion, Gap Night Settings). The mobile app was fully rebuilt in January.

◆ Where it's heading

The unified-inbox theme is the strongest signal — SMS in August, email in October, the rebuilt mobile app picking it up in January. The Custom Booking Attributes release in November ('first major Public API improvement in years') suggests Uplisting is reopening the partner integration surface. There has been no public release since January 13 — four months of silence is the most notable trajectory feature right now.

◆ Prediction

Expect Uplisting's next release to cover either AI-assisted guest messaging on top of the unified inbox, the next wave of API endpoints for partners, or Vrbo-side equivalents of the deep Airbnb-integration features. The four-month gap may indicate a major release in preparation.
