Changelog

Spaces

Spaces are ongoing areas like Product, Marketing or Finances that hold your projects and never finish. Projects without a space stay under Projects, so nothing changes unless you start using them.

• A new Spaces section in the Tasks sidebar groups projects under collapsible spaces, and you can reorder spaces and the projects inside them.
• Click the Spaces + to start a new space right on its page, then edit its icon, name and description in place.
• A space's + menu can create a new project in it or move in a project that has no space, and Move to space is in every project's menu.
• Each space has an Overview with project cards, its own tasks, what's up next across the space, resources and completed projects, plus an Issues tab with every task grouped by project.
• Tasks with no project can live in a space directly, which works well for recurring upkeep.
• A properties panel sums up a space's open projects by status, late projects, the next target date, open and overdue tasks, and its latest change.
• Filter tasks with space:<name> and has:space in task search and saved filters.
• Archived spaces show on the Archived page, and restoring one brings its projects back.
• The CLI manages spaces with octarine space list|show|create|update|archive|restore|delete|resource, and --space or --no-space on project and task commands.

Projects

Projects now track more than open and done. Each one gets a status, priority, start and target dates, and labels, plus an activity chart of what changed and when.

• Statuses are Backlog, Planned, In progress, Paused, Completed and Cancelled, and you can set them from the project's properties panel, the new project dialog or the CLI.
• Project and space Overviews show a daily activity chart with a 7-day range and a feed of recent changes below it.
• Overview sections can be reordered by dragging the grip on their header, and the order is remembered.
• A new Settings tab puts a project's or space's setup on one page: name, icon, key, labels, task statuses, default template, shared filters and archive or delete. Edit project now opens it.
• Space project cards show status, priority, target date (red when late) and labels, and the Projects section can be sorted and grouped.
• The new project and filter dialogs are redesigned with a large name field, settings as a row of chips, and a footer that previews the first task ID or counts the matching tasks.

Ask Octarine

• Ask Octarine now carries out task and project changes directly, can set task types, and finishes long batch requests instead of stopping partway.
• Attach images to your messages by pasting them, picking them from your workspace, or choosing them from Finder through the new + menu.
• Images, selections and added context now show as chips above your message, and hovering an image previews it.
• Mention spaces with @ to give the chat context about a space's projects and tasks.
• Ask Octarine can now list, create and update saved note views and task filters for you.
• Ask Octarine can see a task's or project's space, filter tasks by space and move projects between spaces.

Template settings

Templates can now decide where notes created from them land and what they're named. A settings bar under a template's title has a folder chip and a name chip that accepts {{date}} and {{time}} variables with a live preview. These settings apply to Create Note from Template and octarine://create links.

Improvements

• The Tasks sidebar now has a Filters section listing your shared filters with their task counts, where + creates a new one.
• Filters that span projects start grouped by project, with each project's progress in its group header.
• Tasks can be grouped by Due date (Overdue, Today, This week, Later, No due date), and the task context menu has a Due date submenu.
• Due dates on task rows and cards show a calendar icon with relative labels like Today and Tomorrow, and turn red when overdue.
• Press ^T or Alt+T in the create task dialog to open the type picker.
• Any task status, built-in or custom, can be recoloured by clicking its icon in Settings.
• Task status groups now read To do, In progress, In review and Done.
• App updates now appear as a toast in the bottom-right corner with Update & Restart and Later, plus download progress.
• In a narrow Settings window, search now sits above the section dropdown, which groups settings the same way the sidebar does.
• Move to different folder option now allows creating folders if the search returns no results.
• Ask Octarine now supports OpenCode 2.
• Opening a project from the sidebar returns to the tab you last used, and collapsed status groups stay collapsed.
