What has shipped

In the order it shipped, published from the product itself. Nothing here is planned; everything here is in.

    1. An agent can put a person on a project, on the studio's side or the client's, with a role, and take them off again. Task changes come back named and linked.

    2. Drag a pinned record up or down the rail and it stays there. Alt with the arrow keys moves it from the keyboard.

    3. Every stage can carry planned hours. Projects show hours logged against hours planned as a bar, and the project header puts the budget beside the fee.

    4. Each person sets their hours for every weekday. Bookings shows how much of the next four weeks is free per person, and Home says how booked the team is.

    5. Home looks ahead: open proposal value, what starts next month, projects with nothing booked, invoices falling due, costs renewing and a pipeline that has gone still.

    6. A beta switch in Settings. Tasks take planned hours, and the Timer page lists today's planned work with a Log button that writes the time in one click.

    7. Reports has a time report with date presets and two levels of grouping. Save one by name and it is a chip you can reopen, rename or remove.

    8. A company keeps a day rate and an hour rate. Proposals show the card beside each stage and price a stage from days on request.

    9. A service's stage lists the meetings it needs and when: kick-off at the start, a review with round two, a handover at delivery. Applying the service plans them on the project, the timeline shows them, and Home asks for the ones still to book.

    10. Settings is a page of its own: the menu takes the rail, the section takes the page, and every section has an address. Back and Escape return you where you were. Press , to open it.

    11. Modular frames

      Improved

      The rail and the page sit as two cards on a quiet ground, and the page scrolls inside its own frame. Both follow the studio's roundness and tint.

    12. Proposals, agreements and templates in one place. Agreements lists the studio's paper and the client's together, filtered by whose it is. Policies moved to Settings.

    13. The timesheet reads as a list by day, grouped by project or any other column, with the table a click away. Click an entry's times to adjust start, stop or day on a calendar. Admins can see everyone's time.

    14. Pop-out timer

      New

      In Chrome, pop the running timer into a small always-on-top window from the timer pill, the way Spotify does.

    15. Each person keeps a home time zone, set from their device the first time. The timesheet reads in it wherever you are, and says so when your device is elsewhere.

    16. Who opened it

      New

      Invoices and review rounds show when the client opened them, and a project shows when the client was last in the portal. Company-level only, never a named person.

    17. A service carries its stages, the deliverables placed in each with a start day, the rounds it includes and the tasks it seeds, so applying one lays a project out.

    18. Agents

      Improved

      Every MCP reply links the records it names. Agents can list the service library, shape a service's stages and tasks, set a project's currency, and see a project's fee from its plan.

    19. Fee from the plan

      Improved

      A project's fee is what its billing plan or stage prices add up to, never a typed figure. Health reads it the same way.

    20. PDF preview

      Improved

      Every PDF button previews the document in place with Download beside it, rather than saving it straight away.

    1. Chase a late invoice with Send reminder on the invoice or its row menu, which emails the billing contact with the PDF attached.

    1. Branded portal invites

      New

      A portal invite goes out in the studio's own name, mark and colour, and the invite confirm shows the email before it sends.

    2. Your own name

      New

      Every login carries the name its owner gives it, asked once on joining and kept in step with Profile.

    3. Tasks on cards

      New

      A deliverable's card on the Stages tab lists its open tasks first, with View all for the rest.

    4. Link a deliverable template to the services that sell it from either side: the templates grid now edits its services as chips.

    5. Folder tabs

      Improved

      A project's notes sit under folder tabs, with the client-visible tab marked by an eye.

    6. Hover a bar in Reports to see its figure.

    7. The typeface picker shows each name in its own face.

    8. Attention lists

      Improved

      Gone quiet and the attention table name each company and record with its chip.

    9. Timer

      Improved

      A running timer names the task, deliverable or project it is on, with its icon.

    10. Resizable lists

      Improved

      Operator pages with a second list give it a column beside the rail that you can drag wider or narrower.

    1. Relationships, industries and tags start from one fixed list in every studio, each with its own icon. A company can hold several relationships at once.

    2. Record chips

      Improved

      Records read as the same chip everywhere, with their icon in a block at the front, in tables, menus and pickers alike.

    3. Timeline bars

      Improved

      Bars take the chip's corners, and hovering one shows a tidier card.

    1. Colour a record from its mark

      Improved

      The icon picker opens on Icons now, and on a record that can wear a cover it carries the colour as a tab of its own, on the record's header and in the register's name cell alike, so a row can be coloured without opening it. Setting a mark and setting its colour are two thoughts a moment apart, and they were two controls at opposite ends of the header. The Cover button under the band is unchanged and sets the same colour.

    2. Read a task over MCP

      New

      get_task returns a task whole, including the description no list carries, and names its project, deliverable and assignee instead of handing back three uuids. An agent could write a task's detail and never read it back.

    3. Read a person over MCP

      New

      get_person returns somebody's whole record: their links, their phone, what the studio knows about them and the companies they are attached to. An agent can now check what is there before enriching it. Their day rate is not in it.

    4. Move a task between deliverables

      Fixed

      update_task takes a deliverable_id, and an empty one takes the task back off. The deliverable has to be on the task's own project, and says so plainly if it is not. Moving a task no longer means cancelling it and writing it again.

    5. Toggles an agent can write

      Improved

      A toggle is written as a triangle in front of its summary, and any right or down triangle now counts, so an assistant that cannot type the exact character still gets a foldable section rather than a stray mark.

    1. Contractors is now Bookings, under Operations, and the team can be booked too. A team booking is salaried: no fee, never a project cost. Team members see the schedule, never the money, and can book themselves.

    2. Docs

      New

      A manual for the whole app, written in the app's own kit: how to run a studio, what a client sees, what agents can do. Agents read it too, at /llms.txt and over MCP.

    3. Every signed thing in one place. Issued is the studio's own paper, Received is the client's, and Terms is the wording they are raised from. Contractor agreements moved here from Contractors.

    4. Log a document the client signed on their own contract against a project: an NDA, their agreement, a release. It carries who signed, when, and when it expires, and warns thirty days out.

    5. Agreement history

      New

      Every issued agreement records when its link was fetched, when somebody opened it and when it was signed, on the PDF and in its panel, the way a proposal does.

    6. Sign in the portal

      New

      A contractor signs their own agreement from its page in the portal as well as from the emailed link.

    7. Start a new draft from any proposal, on any project: the same stages and wording under the current live terms, nothing of the send.

    8. A fourth brand control beside accent, tint and typeface: none, subtle, medium or full, and every corner in the portal follows, including the pages a client reaches by link.

    9. The studio logo and icon take an SVG, and a single-colour SVG follows light and dark.

    10. Documents

      Improved

      Proposals, invoices and agreements sit on one grid, wear their state as a band at the top, count the days to or past due, and say who signed and when the same way on every sheet.

    11. Forms and reviews wear the brand

      Improved

      A form or a review reply now looks like the studio that sent it, as the proposal and invoice pages already did.

    12. On a phone

      Improved

      Settings open as a tray with a Studio and Personal switch and search. Tables scroll edge to edge without a stuck column. Toolbars and the menu tray no longer wrap awkwardly.

    13. A project's icon carries its cover colour into every grid, timeline and chip, and sits on a tile in the projects grid whether or not it has one.

    14. Client portal

      Improved

      Clients see proposals against their name, the tasks assigned to them, project stages as a timeline, and their projects in the rail.

    15. Agents

      Improved

      Agents can log received paper, list both agreement registers, and read the docs. The guidance an agent gets on connecting says plainly which tools need a full-access key.

    16. Delete from the row

      New

      Right-click a company or a person to delete them. A record with history stays, and the answer says what that history is.

    1. Cover colours

      New

      Give a project, person or company a tint on the band at the top of its page, from a palette that reads in light and dark.

    2. Project pictures

      New

      A project or deliverable can wear a photo, an icon or an emoji, and it follows the record into every list and chip.

    3. Projects come as cards as well as a table, for the studio and for clients: cover, mark, stage and code at a glance.

    4. Grouping

      New

      Group any table by a column from its header menu; each group folds and unfolds on its own.

    5. A lead has a health reading of its own: how long it has sat, when anyone last spoke to them, and whether a proposal is waiting or has lapsed.

    6. Undo a stage move

      Improved

      Dragging a project to the wrong column on the board can be undone from the toast.

    7. A contractor can open any agreement the studio has sent them and read it as a document, letterhead and signature included.

    8. Reviews tab

      Improved

      A project's review dates have a tab of their own, and its description is split into what the client sees and what stays internal.

    9. Column widths

      Improved

      A table sizes its columns to what is in them rather than to a fixed guess.

    10. The floating timer follows a stop or start made on the Timer page instead of ticking on by itself.

    11. Phone zoom

      Fixed

      Tapping into a field on a phone no longer zooms the page in.

    12. Block menu

      Fixed

      The slash menu in the editor opens above the line when there is no room below it.

    1. Reviews

      New

      Put deliverables on a dated review, then say you have shown them. Everything on the table goes to the client in one act.

    2. Client replies

      New

      Holding a review emails the client what you showed them, with Approve and Request changes beside each thing. Their answer is recorded as theirs.

    3. What is next

      New

      A client's project page now answers where we are, what is next and what is owed, with a retainer reading its period and hours instead.

    4. Scope

      New

      Every deliverable knows whether it was in the agreement. Anything added since is counted and offered to you to price, include or file.

    5. Tasks

      Improved

      One task table everywhere, so the project tab has the full status picker and the main list has the timer.

    6. Timeline

      Improved

      The chart stays put when nothing is dated, and you can book a task or a review without leaving it.

    7. Documents

      Improved

      Headings and paragraphs in notes and briefs now sit apart properly, so a long document is easier to read.

    8. Time entries

      Fixed

      An entry logged against a task you later finished kept its own name instead of reading as no task.

    9. Back links

      Fixed

      A back link now opens the full page instead of sliding the destination over the top of what you were leaving.

    10. Ledger

      New

      A project now shows what the client agreed for each line, what has been billed against it and what is still out, with a Bill control that drafts the line for you.

    1. Timeline

      Improved

      Bars carry their stage colour, the date row stays put as you scroll, and the year shows when you zoom out.

    2. A third view on the timeline, arranged by person, showing who is on the hook for what and when.

    3. A deliverable's bar fills as the tasks under it are finished.

    4. Milestones

      Improved

      A project's milestones share one row, with labels that adapt as you zoom, and each can wear its own mark.

    5. Notes are blocks now, split into a summary and a transcript.

    6. Change the zone a booking link's hours were set in. The readings stay put and the times move with them.

    7. Reach your studio at a short address of your own.

    8. Search and alerts

      Improved

      Search and notifications moved to the top of the sidebar, beside the studio switcher.

    1. Saved views

      Improved

      A register opens the way you left it, table or cards, and on the same filter.

    2. Finance

      Improved

      Invoices, expenses, subscriptions and reports sit together under one heading.

    3. Accounts

      Improved

      Everybody with a login now has a page of its own rather than a settings panel.

    4. Right click a row on the timeline to open the project or task it stands for.

    5. Pinch the timeline to scale it, anywhere between a fortnight and a year.

    6. Outside links

      Improved

      A link to somebody else's site opens in a new tab and says so.

    7. Bulk actions

      New

      Pick several rows in any table and act on them at once.

    8. An assistant can put a suggestion in the agent inbox for you to approve.

    9. Setting up

      Improved

      Connecting an assistant leads the settings pane, with the config a click to copy.

    10. Dead keys

      Improved

      A revoked key can be taken off the list, and a live one still cannot.

    11. Record drawers

      Fixed

      Opening a record from a table no longer looks like it loads twice.

    12. Narrow dialogs

      Fixed

      Labels in a small dialog stop being cut short by the field beside them.

    1. Screenshots

      New

      Send a screenshot with your feedback, or capture the page you are on.

    2. Undo delete

      New

      Deleting rows from a table can be undone for a few seconds afterwards.

    3. Export your whole studio as CSV files in one ZIP, from Transfer in the sidebar.

    4. Version notice

      New

      A note appears when a new version of the app has shipped.

    5. Invitations you have sent are listed, and can be revoked before they are used.

    6. Signing up

      Improved

      Joining a studio works without already having an account.

    7. Studio switching

      Improved

      A link to a record in another of your studios offers to switch to it.

    8. Row selection

      Improved

      Selecting rows no longer pushes the table down the page.

    9. Home page

      Fixed

      The home page could fail to load for a studio with a deliverable awaiting changes.

    10. Duplicate names

      Fixed

      Two studios can use the same name for a milestone or an invoice number.
