A solo-focused task manager grows a plugin layer and, quietly, a collaboration story

task-managementproductivitypluginssynccollaborationcross-platform
◆Current state
Super Productivity is a cross-platform task and time-tracking app shipping every one to two weeks. The recent stream is dense with planning ergonomics — recurring task settings folded into the planner's schedule dialog, add-task short syntax highlighted as you type, existing tasks appearing in tagged board columns, archived tasks restorable to Today, a single-day view on the Schedule tab. Underneath that, sync has become a named priority: concurrent edits to different fields of the same task now merge instead of one silently overwriting the other.
◆Where it's heading
Two structural changes sit beneath the feature churn. Built-in issue providers are being converted into plugins — Azure DevOps and Trello have moved, and Todoist import arrived as a plugin rather than as core code — which turns integrations into a surface others can extend. In parallel, Plainspace integration has introduced shared projects, task creation and polling into an app whose design assumptions have been single-user and local-first. The sync merge work reads as a prerequisite for that: shared data makes silent last-write-wins a real data-loss risk rather than a rare annoyance.
◆Prediction
Expect more built-in integrations to migrate to plugins and Plainspace collaboration to keep expanding, with continued sync-conflict work as the multi-user surface widens.

    Recurring task settings move into the planner's schedule dialog

    Recurring settings are consolidated into the schedule dialog, add-task short syntax highlights as you type, and existing tasks now appear in tagged board columns. Planning ergonomics rather than new capability.

    Concurrent edits to different task fields now merge instead of overwriting

    The release names sync reliability and data safety as its focus, and the field-level merge is the substantive change: two edits to different fields of the same entity no longer resolve as one silently discarding the other. Necessary groundwork for shared projects.

    Development tag carrying a project-move sync fix

    Not a user release — a working tag whose only content is a sync fix converging project move replays. It inflates the entry count without representing a shipped version.

    Todoist import, drag-and-drop task creation and an Android widget

    A Todoist import plugin joins the Import/Export launcher, links and EML files can be dropped onto the app to create tasks, and Android gains a home-screen widget for today's tasks. Onboarding and mobile reach in one release.

    Plainspace collaboration expands and wallpapers gain per-context overrides

    Shared projects can now be opened in Plainspace with direct task creation, easier discovery and polling on by default — the collaboration surface widening a release after it appeared. Global wallpapers with per-context overrides and desktop release notifications round it out.

    Issue providers become plugins and Plainspace brings shared projects

    ⚡ SPARK

    The structural turn behind the last three releases: Azure DevOps and Trello move out of core into plugins, and Plainspace integration introduces shared projects to an app built on single-user assumptions. The sync merge work that follows is the consequence.
