The Changelog

August 2026

Task Capture Redesign & Hosted AI Integrations (Claude & Copilot)

A focused, fully redesigned flow for creating and editing tasks, alongside hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Microsoft Copilot integrations for mobile and desktop AI workflows.

  • New Task Entry Panel: A minimal collapsed bar expands into a focused bottom sheet (mobile) or centred modal (desktop) with structured fields — name, label (required), context, and subtasks — in the right order, every time.
  • Voice Input in the Field: The microphone button lives directly inside the task name input, letting you dictate a task hands-free without switching modes.
  • Smarter Subtask Entry: Add subtasks one by one or enable split mode to paste a comma- or newline-separated list and explode it into individual items instantly.
  • Hosted MCP Server for Claude (iOS & Web): Live Server-Sent Events (SSE) remote MCP endpoint at /api/mcp, allowing Claude on iPhone, iPad, and web browsers to manage your tasks without local terminal runners.
  • Microsoft 365 Copilot & GitHub Copilot: Native compatibility for Microsoft Copilot Studio (Teams/Outlook/Word custom actions) and GitHub Copilot in VS Code.
  • Opt-in Rollout: Existing users can try the new UI via Settings → Beta Features at any time. New accounts default to the new experience automatically.
July 2026

Widescreen Layout & Copy Shortcuts

Enhancements focusing on workspace comfort on desktop screens and quick task sharing capabilities.

  • Widescreen Layout: Expanded the dashboard workspace width on laptops and desktops, providing 25% more horizontal space for reading, writing, and editing long task descriptions without visual clutter.
  • Copy to Clipboard: Added a copy button to task cards, letting you export the task and all its components (description, tags, comments, and subtasks) directly to the clipboard in clean Markdown format.
  • Platform Improvements: General code fixes and stability improvements to the platform.
June 2026

Founder's Release & Task Blueprints

A major milestone release graduating from beta and introducing task blueprints for repeatable workflows, inline subtask editing, and reverse list sorting.

  • Task Blueprints: Save active tasks and checklists to a dedicated Templates Vault, with full editing capabilities and instant dashboard spawning.
  • Inline Checklist Editing: Directly click and modify individual subtask description texts inline from the edit dialog.
  • Reverse Sorting Toggles: Instantly flip your sorting order with a click, complete with fail-safe locks when custom manual sorting is active.
  • Founder's Release: Graduated from beta into the Founder's Release edition.
June 2026

Zen Mode Polish & UX Refinements

UX refinements focusing on workspace compactness, keyboard workflows, and empty state navigation helper actions.

  • Compact Mode Labels: Task labels are automatically hidden when Zen Mode and Compact Mode are both active, creating a highly streamlined workspace.
  • Escape Key Dismissal: Pressing the Escape key collapses the task creation panel and blurs focus, resetting inputs cleanly.
  • Empty State Actions: Interactive CTAs enable clearing active filters or immediately creating a task (exiting Zen Mode automatically if needed).
May 2026

AI of Choice Support & Workspace Sync

Expanding our AI integration to support your assistant of choice, ensuring flawless sub-task generation and improved workspace session sync.

  • Flexible AI Sub-Tasks: Now compatible with ChatGPT, Claude MCP, or your AI of choice. The app automatically cleans up formatting inconsistencies so sub-tasks translate perfectly to your checklist.
  • Seamless Workspace Resuming: Dynamic session sync ensures your active workspace state is saved and restored instantly when moving between tabs or devices.
May 2026

Morning Briefing & Workflow Polish

UX improvements to ensure intentionality and robust cross-device support.

  • Morning Briefing: Returning future-dated tasks now awaken into a dedicated review banner rather than silently merging.
  • iPad Support: Fully re-engineered the Eisenhower Matrix drag-and-drop to seamlessly support touch devices.
  • Reliable AI Connection: Handled assistant requests entirely server-side to ensure task breakdown works flawlessly, even if you run aggressive ad-blockers or privacy extensions.
April 2026

The AI Coaching Era

A massive evolution transitioning OliTick from a digital filing cabinet into a true AI-powered productivity companion.

  • Bi-Directional Assistant Flow: Export tasks to ChatGPT, Claude MCP, or your AI of choice to refine them and import updates back instantly.
  • Workspace Maintenance: Re-built the settings pane with curated Generative-Art Avatars and unified data wiping.
