Changelog

What's new

• CRM Home: see pipeline, win rate, lost deals, at-risk accounts, overdue follow-ups, and today's meetings for the last 7 days, 30 days, this quarter, or a custom range
• Charts and watchlists: scan pipeline by stage and currency, then jump straight to at-risk accounts, follow-ups, and upcoming meetings
• Resources: review tasks, meetings, notes, and activities linked to accounts and contacts, and complete reminders from one place
• Lists: open saved views of accounts, contacts, leads, and deals, then create, edit, share, or delete them without leaving CRM
• Opportunities: work the deal pipeline from a dedicated board with stage values and expected close dates

Improvements

• Account and contact pages: a full-width section bar keeps identity, notes, schedule, pipeline, and permissions together
• Flow: Home, Resources, and Lists are available in Flow so you can keep working across columns
• Mobile: Overview, Resources, and Lists are on the CRM hub, including offline reads and reminder updates that sync when you are back online

Fixes

• Boards: creating a card during a brief connection hiccup no longer shows a raw error message, and a calendar rendering issue on a board no longer takes down the whole page
• Board guests: people with board-only access can now log activity on that board
• Time tracking: summary cards no longer flash to zero while a timer is running, manually typed durations save correctly, and a stopped timer no longer reappears as a phantom entry
• Sign-in: magic link sign-in is more reliable after verifying
• Team settings: canceling a pending invitation no longer fails
• Notifications: the unread badge no longer gets stuck when a team's data is briefly unavailable

• Invoicing: an unsupported logo image format no longer breaks PDF generation
• Signup: a failed payment script load is handled more gracefully
• Hub and onboarding: recovers automatically from a couple of rare rendering crashes

Improvements

• Notes checklists: keep typing the item as usual; a menu appears at the end of the line for due date and priority. Use the up and down arrows to highlight an option, then Return to apply it

Fixes

• Card descriptions: type and paste links without the editor freezing or sending you to markdown
• Notes checklists: ticking items and linked tasks is more reliable

What's new

• Pin to top: right-click a note or Smart Note in Recent to keep it at the top of that list on this device
• Note preview: in the to-do list, use the eye to preview the source note, or open it from the note title

Improvements

• Checklists: ticking items in a note is more reliable
• Flow and mobile: the same to-do list preview and tick-to-complete behaviour is available there too

What's new

• To-do board: see every checklist item across your notes as a three-column board (To Do, In Progress, Done), or switch to a list grouped by vault and note
• Status, priority, and due dates: mark items in progress, highlight high or critical work, and add a due date from the board or while writing in the note
• Stay in sync: changes on the board update the source checklist, and edits in the note show up on the board
• Everywhere you work: the same to-do board is available in Flow and on mobile, including offline mobile updates that sync when you are back online

Improvements

• Quick metadata: while writing a checklist item, add a due date or priority without leaving the editor
• Start a timer: play on a to-do starts time tracking linked to that note

Fixes

• Time tracking: stopping, discarding, and editing a timer from Home uses the workspace where the timer actually lives
• Notes and Calendar: speech tools and daily calendar loading behave more reliably when pages change or requests finish late
• CRM: contacts stay usable during bulk selection, and new workspaces receive their default pipelines and stages correctly

• Team policy: set default currency, receipt thresholds, reimbursement instructions, and whether board admins can review linked claims
• Everywhere you work: the same expense workflow is available in Flow and on mobile, with search, notifications, and quick create

Documentation

Improvements

• Mobile Calendar: linking records, reviewing events, managing subscriptions, and deleting recurring events work more smoothly
• App updates: the update screen now fits smaller displays better, making required updates easier to complete

What's new

• Convert lead to deal: open a lead, add an optional deal value and expected close date, then convert; Saku saves your edits, creates the deal, marks the lead qualified, and opens the new deal
• Pipeline links: open a specific lead or deal from a link so you can jump straight into the right card in CRM

Improvements

• Boundary slip: only appears for back-to-back entries, respects invoiced blocks, and gives clearer feedback when a nudge would make an entry too short
• Live day totals: grouped day totals on Time include a running timer so daily subtotals stay current

What's new

• Boundary slip: drag the join between two nearby entries, or open the control for preset shifts, to move where one ends and the next begins without retyping both
• Live totals: day, week, and list totals on Time update while a timer is running so you always see up-to-date minutes

Improvements

• Time list layout: entry rows align more cleanly on wide and narrow screens, with clearer billing and duration columns

Fixes

• CRM automations: workflow reminders and background runs skip teams still setting up instead of reporting errors
• Billing: seat sync clears outdated subscription links when billing no longer matches your workspace

Improvements

• CRM pipelines: default lead and deal stages seed more safely when a team already has custom pipelines

What's new

• CRM: accounts, contacts, and pipeline are ready for everyday use without the beta label
• CRM intake and inbox: collect leads from hosted forms and email, then triage new messages in one inbox
• Workflow studio: build and run CRM automations from a visual studio on web and in Flow
• Collaborator links: invite verified contacts to claim a secure link and work with you on the right records
• Revenue command centre: review pipeline health, stage metrics, and qualification in one place

Improvements

• Recurring events: editing a series or a single occurrence is safer and less likely to drift
• CRM import and export: move fuller account graphs in and out, with clearer progress when a job is running
• CRM at scale: large account, contact, and pipeline lists stay responsive as the workspace grows

Improvements

• Time entries: editing and linked work pick the right client more consistently when cards, accounts, or other links change
• Command footer: time linking stays aligned with Time Entries when searching and attaching work

Fixes

• Boards: the board loading state is more reliable and less likely to hit a blank load failure
• Daily notes: creating a daily note applies its label without failing mid-create
• Notes: expected missing-note cases no longer create noisy failure reports
• Error tracking drops unhelpful blank database timeout noise and duplicate search failure titles, so real issues stay easier to spot

Fixes

• Flow calendar: the agenda opens on today’s date in your timezone, not a fixed Dublin day
• Flow CRM accounts: the account editor overlay sits correctly over the account pane
• Flow boards: clicking the already-selected card again still brings the card column into view
• Flow invoicing: client pickers show an error when clients fail to load, instead of staying on Loading
• Command bar time activity: switching Today / 7d / 30d no longer risks showing the wrong range while requests finish out of order

What's new

• Time activity in the command bar: click Today / Week to open a popover with a timeline of today’s sessions, plus 7-day and 30-day charts you can break down by billable, client, board, task, or label. Jump to Time when you want the full view

Improvements

• Clearer browser tabs: cards, notes, CRM accounts and contacts, invoices, quotes, calendar items, and My Work show their name in the tab title so it is easier to find the right window
• CRM account pickers: choosing an account or contact in searchable selects keeps the selection instead of clearing when the menu closes

What's new

• Flow calendar: browse an agenda by day, create and edit events, and keep related context in the trail as you work
• Flow time write-up: create and edit time entries, stop a running timer, submit a week for approval, and approve or reject submitted timesheets from Flow
• Flow invoices and quotes: create drafts, edit lines and details, then issue, record payment, void, or convert a quote — all in Flow panes
• Flow CRM pipeline: move leads and deals between stages, edit them, add comments, and convert where you already can in CRM
• Flow account workspace: edit account details, add notes and reminders, and review linked time with clearer KPIs

Improvements

• Flow pane focus: selecting something in Boards, CRM, or operational panes scrolls that column into view so the trail stays oriented
• Flow insights: open a longer date range, drill into a row, and jump to the matching product with a clear Open action

What's new

• Time entry filters: on Entries, narrow the list by billable or internal, by CRM account (including entries with no account), and by labels (including entries with no labels). Search accounts and labels as you type; account options show logos

Improvements

• Entries list layout: client sits in its own column with clear headings for entry, client, duration, cost, and billing
• Flow time entries Beta: the same account and label filters are available when browsing time in Flow
• Sign-in and verification: after you sign in or verify your email, you are taken into Saku more reliably, without bouncing between sign-in and Home

What's new

• Getting started checklist: on Home, a dismissible checklist points you at creating your first board, card, note, or CRM client, and ticks off as you go

• Week-one emails: after the welcome note, you may get a day-three tips email and a day-six check-in from Florian, with an easy way to invite someone from Home. Turn these off under email preferences if you prefer

Improvements

• Product tour: the first-login tour is more reliable when you arrive from email verification, so you are less likely to miss the walkthrough

What's new

• Quotes: create priced proposals for CRM clients with line items, VAT, discounts, terms, and a validity date. Issue or email a branded PDF with a secure review link so clients can accept or decline without a Saku account. Accepted quotes convert into a draft invoice with lines and settings carried across; quotes expire after their validity date

• Quotes in Flow Beta: open and manage quotes from Flow alongside invoices so you can keep quoting and billing in the same column path

• Payment pending: when a client pays with a delayed method, invoices move to Payment pending until the payment clears, then mark as paid automatically

Improvements

• Live collaboration: notes and boards update sooner when teammates save, take over editing, or change linked work, so shared sessions feel more immediate

• Account analytics: draft invoices show correctly on the Issued KPI for CRM accounts

• Flow polish: clearer loading and layout when opening boards, CRM, and card panels in Flow

What's new

• Saku Flow Beta: open Flow from Home or command search (Cmd/Ctrl + K), pick a product in the rail, then keep opening related work in columns from left to right. Boards, Notes, CRM, calendar, Time, Invoicing, and Insights each have Flow-native paths so you can create, edit, link, and decide without bouncing back to the standard screens

• Flow navigation: a pinned horizontal scrubber sits above the timer so long column paths stay easy to move through; columns load when you need them, with layout-preserving skeletons while content arrives

• Timer in Flow: the timer bar recognises the card, board, note, account, contact, lead, or deal you have selected and offers a linked session

• Related record chips: linked accounts, contacts, users, and other records show as clickable chips with a quick preview eye, matching the boards link experience

• Account analytics: CRM accounts show period KPIs so you can review activity and health for a chosen date range

• Calendar schedule card: clearer schedule controls when creating or editing calendar items, including linking a board card when the work already lives on a board

• Faster saves: Cmd/Ctrl + Enter saves or submits in create and edit forms across the app

• Account invoices: open a CRM account to review its invoices, jump into one, or start a new invoice for that client

• CRM mentions: use @ and [[ links in account and contact notes, pipeline descriptions, and comments

• Single-client boards: put a whole board on one CRM account so cards and linked time follow it automatically, or keep multi-client mode when cards need different accounts

• New accounts and leads: create an account with its first contact, or a lead with account and contact, in one flow; picking a contact on a lead fills the matching account when known

• Searchable pickers: type to filter accounts, contacts, stages, owners, roles, boards, cards, leads, and deals

• Safer deletes: removing an account or contact hides it from active views while keeping history; turn on Show deleted to restore

• CRM layout: accounts, contacts, and pipeline screens share clearer panels and spacing with Time and Invoicing

• Board search: filtering a board is more reliable when a list has an empty or unexpected card slot

• Notes and card editor: fewer interruptions when typing quickly on an empty line with the slash menu

• Invoice payouts setup: clearer guidance when payout account setup cannot start yet because platform payments are still being configured

• Open linked work from Time: when editing a time entry, open a linked board, card, note, CRM record, or calendar item from the linked work list

Improvements

• Homepage and features — refreshed marketing pages with interactive demos so you can see boards, notes, CRM, time, and invoicing before you sign up

• Saku for you — new audience pages for individuals, freelancers, consultants, agencies, and small teams, plus a dedicated pricing page

New features

• Calendar work panel — open a Saku event to create a linked task or note, attach CRM records, and start or log time without leaving the schedule

• Imported events — turn a read-only external event into a board card from the same work panel, keeping the description and schedule with the new task

Improvements

• Money amounts — currency amounts display with the correct number of decimal places across invoices and reports

New features

• Your day — open a daily note to see that day's calendar entries and due cards beside the editor; link an item into the note, or create a task or calendar entry from the panel

• Checklist tasks — turn a checklist item into a board card; checking the item moves the card to Done when the board has a Done column, and Done cards keep the checklist in step

Improvements

• Linked records — wiki links and linked items open a clearer preview so you can see what you are pointing at before you jump away

New features

• Saku Invoicing — draft, send, and track invoices from the hub, with a clear view of paid, open, overdue, and issued totals

• Compose from work — pull uninvoiced billable time and expenses linked to a CRM client, or add manual lines with VAT and discounts

• Issue and email — send invoices with a PDF attached; client replies land on the invoice activity thread

• Get paid — clients pay on a public pay page into your team's connected payment account, or record bank transfers manually

• Branding — set your issuer details on every plan; Pro and Max unlock a custom logo, brand colour, and extra PDF templates

New features

• Saku Time — open Time from the hub to review entries, manage team settings, and log time against cards, clients, and other work

• Weekly timesheets — review Monday-start weeks and submit for approval when your team requires it

• Import — bring in CSV exports from common time tools and map clients where possible

• Automation — connect external tools with a Time automation key, or use the browser extension to start and stop timers

New features

• Boards — Move to another board from any open card; choose the destination board and list, and Saku removes assignees or labels that do not apply on the target board

• Boards — Duplicate a card to the same board or a different one; content comes with you, with sensible handling for assignees and labels across teams

Improvements

• Boards — open boards check for changes more efficiently, so you spend less time waiting when nothing has changed

• Hub — team lanes on home load faster when you switch between workspaces

• Notifications — unread counts stay responsive on busy teams without slowing the rest of the app

Improvements

• Notes — paste images directly into a note; uploads give clearer feedback when something needs your attention

• Team ownership — transferring ownership between members is more reliable

• Calendar — filter layout works better with imported feeds; connecting external calendars is more robust

• Team statistics — archived card counts load faster on large teams

• Boards — skeleton loading while a board opens; segmented tabs look consistent across the app

Fixes

• Navigation — no more white flash when moving between pages in dark mode

• Card modal — closing one card and opening another no longer brings back the previous card

• Notes images — improved handling and cleanup when an upload does not complete

Improvements

• Cost report PDF — refreshed layout with your organisation on the left and card, client, date range, and guidance on the right; page numbers on every page; card exports name the file after the card

• Card detail reports — member hourly rates beside names, durations shown as hours and minutes, time entries with start and end times, per-member subtotals, expense notes, and a scannable link to open the card at the bottom

• Date ranges — lifetime exports now read naturally (for example, Up to 9 Jul 2026) instead of showing a blank or incorrect start date

Fixes

• Card Costs tab — the include internal costs in exports checkbox toggles correctly again

• Direct expenses — editing an expense scrolls you to the form at the top so you can see what you are changing

Fixes

• Card Activity tab — editing a time entry opens the edit dialog above the card instead of behind it.

• Comments and descriptions — viewing a full-size image from a comment or card description opens correctly above the open card.

• Card Costs tab — confirming deletion of a direct expense shows the dialog on top of the card.

Fixes

• Calendar subscriptions — external calendars now keep syncing reliably after deployment, including feeds that rely on newer date and recurrence formats.

• Billing — plan changes and subscription actions handle missing billing records more clearly, and teams on plans managed by Saku no longer see payment errors when changing or cancelling plan options.

Improvements

• Landing page — the homepage loads quicker with less work on first visit, so hero text and pricing appear sooner on slower connections.

• Accessibility — pricing tabs, feature tooltips, headings, and footer links are easier for assistive technology to read; pinch-to-zoom is available again on phones and tablets.

• Signed-in experience — session analytics load after the page is idle so browsing the public site stays responsive.

Improvements

• Boards and cards — opening boards, editing cards, and working with checklists responds faster with less waiting behind the scenes.

• Gifted plans — complimentary team plans honour their expiry date and downgrade automatically when the gift period ends.

New features

• Note icons — pick an icon for any note in Details so it stands out in the sidebar, library, and recents.

Improvements

• Wiki links and mentions — the link picker is easier to navigate with the keyboard, scrolls to your selection, and looks consistent across notes, cards, and comments.

• Code blocks — long fenced code in notes keeps accurate line numbers as you edit or apply syntax highlighting.

• Version history — the versions tab shows a loading state while fetching, and Saku creates fewer duplicate snapshots when you close a note without changing anything.

• Boards and navigation — boards and notes open more reliably when you arrive from links or switch tabs.

Fixes

• Sign-in and sessions — improved handling when your session is refreshed or your plan changes mid-session.

Improvements

• Billing and plans — after upgrading or changing your team plan, your updated access shows up without needing to sign out and back in.

• Profile updates — name and avatar changes appear across Saku sooner after you save them.

• Admin overview — the admin dashboard loads health and activity sections progressively so the page becomes usable faster.

Fixes

• Brand icons — Saku icons and pinned-tab artwork display correctly again in browsers that were showing broken images.

• Reliability — image processing and thumbnail generation are more dependable in production deployments.

Improvements

• Sign-in links — magic login requests are rate-limited so repeated attempts cannot overwhelm your inbox or slow sign-in for everyone.

• Account security — password changes are unavailable during assisted support sessions on your account.

• Reliability — behind-the-scenes platform updates for smoother performance across boards, notes, and calendar.

New features

• Notes device handoff — when the same note is open somewhere else, Saku locks the passive editor and shows who is editing. You can take over editing from the banner when you need control on this device.

• Shared note auto-refresh — public note links update automatically while the page is open, so viewers see saved changes without refreshing.

Improvements

• Notes autosave — active notes save to Saku more often and make a final save attempt when you leave the tab.

• Version history — Notes now create cleaner editing-session checkpoints instead of filling the history with frequent autosave entries.

Fixes

• Delete card — the confirmation dialog now appears above an open card panel, so you can review and confirm without the dialog hiding behind the card.

• Card side rails — your choice to show or hide the activity timeline and sibling list is remembered the next time you open a card.

• Hub home — the dashboard hub loads more reliably when your active team context is still settling in.

• Signup — if team setup was only partly finished during a free signup, finishing the flow can pick up where you left off instead of starting over.

• Recurring cards — scheduled card rules run more reliably during routine maintenance.

Improvements

• Shared notes — calmer background with a subtle brand tint at the top, darker body text for better contrast, and clearer footer layout on public note links.

Fixes

• Card details from boards — when a card loads its full description and checklists in the panel, both update together on the board card so previews and checklist counts stay accurate.

• Checklist loading — screen readers announce while checklists are loading in the card panel.

Fixes

• Checklists on cards — existing checklists show in the card panel after refresh, including when you land on a card from a board link.

• Checklist progress on cards — the checklist count on board cards stays in sync after you add, complete, or remove items in the card panel.

• Duplicated cards — copying a card with checklists keeps the checklist progress visible on the new card.

New features

• Notes folder tree — right-click a note in the vault sidebar for the same actions as Recent notes: pin, favourite, rename, move vault, duplicate, and delete.

Improvements

• Notes editor shortcuts — use ⌘/Ctrl+S to save from rich text, markdown, or split view. Bold, italic, and underline shortcuts work in markdown mode too.

• Code in notes — fenced and inline code blocks show a clearer copy control; block snippets display their language where helpful.

• Export buttons — clearer format icons in the note Details export section.

New features

• Card context menu — right-click a card for Edit, Duplicate, Move to (another list), Archive, and Delete, with the same actions whether you use drag-and-drop or the menu.

New features

• Collapsible side rails — hide or show the activity timeline and sibling list beside a card. Toggle buttons keep the layout tidy when you want a wider description area.

New features

• Note labels — colour-code labels, filter the Library by label, and manage your vault’s label list (rename, recolour, remove unused labels) without opening each note.

• Note export — from a note’s Details panel, download the latest saved version as Markdown, PDF, or plain text. Linked Saku records export with readable titles; Markdown and PDF keep real links.

Improvements

• Card descriptions — while you are typing, background updates no longer overwrite your work. Closing the card warns you when there are unsaved changes.

• Settings and modals — switches, compact dialogs, and segmented tabs look and behave more consistently across boards, team settings, and CRM.

Fixes

• Notes — label editing and wiki-link insertion in the editor are more reliable when selecting text or picking a link target.

New features

• Card descriptions — the visual editor is now a proper rich text editor with headings, lists, links, images, and formatting that stays reliable as you type. Markdown mode is still there when you want raw text.

• Wiki links and mentions — type [[ or @ in a card description to link boards, notes, CRM records, calendar items, and teammates, same as before but with smoother insertion.

Improvements

• Card activity — the timeline in the card panel uses a cleaner layout so comments and history are easier to follow.

• Board activity — shared timeline styling keeps activity views consistent across the board and card.

Improvements

• Cards — changing priority, assignee, client, or labels in the card panel updates straight away instead of waiting on the server. Archive and delete from the board menu remove the card immediately too.

• Boards — opening a board loads members, timers, and related data in parallel so the page appears faster.

• Notes smart screens — unresolved links, comments, attachments, and similar lists load access checks in bulk instead of one note at a time.

• Billing — deleting a team cancels its subscription so you are not charged for a workspace that no longer exists.

Fixes

• Files — soft-deleted attachments are no longer served from the file detail link.

Fixes

• Team invites — accepting an invite now returns a clear message when the link has expired or been cancelled, instead of a confusing error.

• API: cards — deleting a card through the API handles already-archived cards more reliably.

Improvements

• Email to board — inbound messages are checked for size earlier so oversized payloads are rejected cleanly.

New features

• Profile photos — when you have not uploaded a photo, Saku can show an avatar linked to your email address across boards, notes, CRM, team settings, and admin views. Your own upload always takes priority.

• CRM contact roles — choose a standard role (Decision Maker, Champion, Technical Evaluator, End User, Economic Buyer) from a dropdown instead of typing free text. Existing custom role text is preserved in job title where it fits.

Fixes

• Home product tour — the tour link on your home page no longer errors when the page first loads.

• Calendar subscriptions — subscribed calendars sync more reliably when they contain many events.

• Boards — background refresh handles lost access and brief connection drops more gracefully, without unnecessary error reports.

Improvements

• Timers — if a workspace is briefly unreachable, your active timers still load from workspaces that are available.

Improvements

• Note email invites — acceptance is clearer when you sign up or sign in from an invite link.

• Note invitations — fair-use limits help keep invite sending dependable for everyone.

• API — improved security and faster responses across key routes.

New features

• API: Notes and CRM Beta — Max teams can read and manage notes, accounts, contacts, leads, and deals through the v1 API, alongside existing boards and cards endpoints.

Documentation

• API reference — expanded guides for Notes, CRM, webhooks, and calendar integrations.

Improvements

• CRM workspace — cleaner layout and faster workflows when you move between accounts, contacts, and deals.

• Notes folders — moving notes between folders is more predictable, including when folders are shared or nested.

New features

• Archive cards — archive done or stale cards via the API so boards stay focused without losing history.

Improvements

• Boards API — rate limits and archiving support help automations and integrations run safely at scale.

Fixes

• Note email invites — you can invite the same person to more than one note without the earlier invite breaking, and re-sending after you revoke one works as you'd expect.

• Note comments — if something goes wrong when you add a comment from note details, you'll see a clear message instead of silence.

• CRM contacts — when you move a contact to another account, Save stays disabled until you've picked a valid destination.

Improvements

• Boards and cards — client account pickers stay in sync when you switch between cards in the modal.

New features

• Notes Sharing tab — open Details → Sharing on any note to see who has full access, read-only access, or title-only visibility (for locked personal notes on CRM). Invite people by email with read-only or full access, manage share grants, approve access requests, and control public links in one place.

• Note email invites — invite someone who is not on Saku yet. They receive a clear email, sign up for their own free workspace, and get access to just that note.

• CRM contacts without an account — add and manage contacts on their own, then link them to an account when you are ready.

• Contact profile photos — upload a photo on a contact record so people are easier to recognise across CRM and linked work.

Improvements

• Note comments — moved into the Settings tab in note details so Sharing stays focused on people and access.

• Account pickers — search and select CRM accounts consistently when assigning clients on boards, cards, calendar items, and pipeline records.

Documentation

• CRM and Notes guides — updated for standalone contacts, sharing, and linked notes.

Improvements

• Vaults — open Vaults from the Notes sidebar to browse every note in your personal and team libraries, select several at once, and move them to another vault in one step.

• Move a note — use the vault control in the note top bar to move the open note to a personal or team vault without leaving the editor.

Documentation

• Docs refresh — updated guides for Notes vaults, access requests, CRM linking, sharing, notifications, and how Saku fits together as a connected workspace.

New features

• Note access requests — when someone follows a link to your personal note, they can ask for access from the unavailable screen, a backlink, or a CRM or card link. You review requests in Notes → Access requests and get a notification when someone asks.

• Unavailable notes — if you open a link to a personal note you cannot view, you see who owns it and whether a request is pending or denied instead of a blank error.

Fixes

• Notes — clearer handling when a note cannot be found or fails to load; child folders sort correctly alongside notes in the sidebar tree.

Improvements

• Daily notes — today's daily note shows as Today in the sidebar and folder tree, with a calendar icon and a subtle highlight so you can spot it quickly. A shortcut on today's note opens the daily note template.

• Explore templates — notes you create from Explore keep their template icon and colour in the sidebar, folder tree, library, and recents, so starter notes stay easy to recognise.

• Notes sidebar — deleted notes drop out of Recents straight away; note rows in the folder tree show when they were last updated.

Fixes

• Library & Explore — note and vault cards open reliably when you click them; Explore only disables the template you are creating, so you can start another while one is saving.

Improvements

• Notes — New note saves your current note first, so you can create another without reloading. The folder sidebar updates as you rename notes, and top-level folders line up with Daily Notes and Unfiled.

• Folder settings — choose a parent folder from the settings cog to nest folders without drag and drop.

• Smart Notes & Explore — coloured icons on each view and starter template so you can spot them at a glance; recent Smart Notes in the sidebar use the same colours.

• To-dos — empty checklist lines are hidden; [[links]] in todo text appear as chips; checkboxes are easier to see.

• Note details — the Versions tab shows a loading state and a clear message when there are no previous versions yet.

Fixes

• Notes welcome & Explore — starter templates load correctly after a recent update.

Improvements

• Notes recents — the Recent sidebar now mixes Smart Notes, notes you have opened, and notes you have saved into one list, sorted by what you touched most recently.

• Note details — the drawer uses compact pill tabs that fit better on smaller screens, and the Links tab lets you jump straight to backlinks and outgoing links.

• Note settings — move a note to another folder from the settings tab; the folder picker shows each folder’s colour and icon.

• Editor — clearer save status beside the Save button (up to date, unsaved, or saving), tidier spacing under headings, and wiki links in split view appear as proper chips.

• Sidebar folders — Daily Notes and Unfiled can be collapsed like other folders.

Fixes

• Recent notes — recently opened notes appear in Recents again instead of only Smart Notes.

Improvements

• Link previews — when you share a board, a docs page, a feature page, or a public note, social apps and messengers now show a branded Saku preview with the right title and product colours instead of a generic placeholder.

• CRM notes — account and internal notes support [[ entity links so boards, cards, contacts, and other Saku items appear as styled chips while you write.

• Shared notes — inline code and links read more clearly in public note pages.

Fixes

• Notes folder settings — creating and editing folders is more reliable, with clearer validation when something is missing.

New features

• Password-protected note links — when you turn on public sharing for a note, you can optionally require a password before anyone can read it. Viewers enter the password once per browser; you can change or remove protection any time.

• Share confirmations — turning public sharing on or off now shows a clear confirmation so you know exactly what is exposed and what happens to the link.

Improvements

• Smart Notes to-dos — checking items off no longer makes the list jump or hide completed tasks until you reload the page.

• Smart Notes links — bookmark or share a direct link to Smart Notes view; browser back and forward keep your place.

New features

• Product tour — new teams get an eight-step walkthrough of Boards, Notes, CRM, Calendar, and Insights. Replay it any time from Settings, the hub help menu, or /tour.

• Example workspace — after the tour, explore a linked Example Client Ltd demo with a sample board, CRM account, calendar item, and note so you can see how Saku connects before adding your own data. Free plans can preview the sample CRM account in read-only mode.

Improvements

• Welcome email — sign-up confirmation links to the tour and your home hub so your first session has a clear next step.

• Email verification — verify links use a Continue to Saku step that is safer with inbox scanners; expired links can send a fresh sign-in email.

• After the tour — a short banner on Home and a calendar highlight on your first visit point you to the sample workspace.

Improvements

• Shared notes — links to boards, cards, CRM records, calendar items, and other Saku items now appear as styled chips on public shared notes. Private links show a clear hint to sign in rather than a broken link.

• Shared note pages — refreshed footer with clearer Saku branding and a sign-up link for visitors.

New features

• Daily note templates — set a markdown structure for new daily notes in your vault. Open settings on the Daily Notes folder, hover today’s note in the sidebar, or use Edit template on the welcome screen. Only future daily notes use the updated template; past notes stay as you left them.

• Folder appearance — choose an icon and colour for each notes folder in the library and sidebar so your vault is easier to scan at a glance.

• Home hub — your main hub is now labelled Home, and sign-in reliably lands you there when you opened Saku from a bookmark, invite, or magic link.

Improvements

• Hub navigation — refreshed section switcher on the dashboard with clearer layout and faster switching between boards, notes, CRM, and other areas.

• Linked notes — clearer feedback when linked notes cannot be loaded.

New features

• CRM account workspace — open an account for a clearer overview: status and pipeline at a glance, quick counts for contacts, schedule, boards, cards, leads, and deals, and one-click navigation between each section.

• CRM contact workspace — contact profiles now show linked notes in a dedicated panel so related Saku notes stay easy to find while you work the record.

Improvements

• CRM contacts — refreshed list and account cards with clearer layout and faster paths into account and contact workspaces.

• CRM schedule — schedule sections on account and contact workspaces are easier to scan and act on.

• Linked notes — notes linked to CRM records load more reliably and display in a cleaner panel.

Fixes

• Sign up — new accounts now complete registration reliably; team setup no longer fails partway through creating your workspace.

Fixes

• Imported calendars — external calendar subscriptions that use modern network routing now sync reliably instead of stopping with an error.

• Calendar subscription feed — events you subscribe to from Saku now include their end time in the feed, so other calendar apps show the correct duration.

Improvements

• Notification actions — links in toast notifications are checked before opening, so only safe in-app and web addresses are followed.

New features

• Card Links tab — open a card and choose Links to see everywhere that card is mentioned: notes, other cards, comments, CRM records, calendar items, and imported calendar events linked to that card.

• Rich links in cards — type [[ or @ in card descriptions and comments to link to notes, boards, cards, people, CRM records, and calendar items; links appear as styled chips you can follow in one click.

Improvements

• Imported calendar events — open a read-only imported event on your calendar and link it to CRM records or a board so it stays connected to your work in Saku.

• Boards address — your boards hub now lives at /boards. Old /dashboard bookmarks and links still work and redirect automatically.

New features

• Import external calendars — subscribe to ICS or webcal feeds from your other calendar apps and see those events read-only on your Saku calendar alongside cards and calendar items.

• Per-feed controls — pick a colour and display name for each imported calendar, show or hide feeds independently, and remove a subscription when you no longer need it.

Improvements

• Automatic sync — imported events refresh in the background so your calendar stays up to date without manual refreshes.

New features

• Home hub — after you sign in, Home greets you with a quick launcher for Boards, Notes, CRM, Calendar, and Insights, plus a snapshot of recent activity across your teams.

• Feature pages — dedicated pages explain what each part of Saku offers, linked from the homepage so you can explore boards, calendar, CRM, notes, insights, and more before diving in.

New features

• Notes folders — organise notes in nested folders from the sidebar Folders tab, with drag-and-drop to move notes and folders.

• Library folder management — create, rename, and delete folders from the Library view, with note counts per folder.

Improvements

• Calendar — day, week, and month views use a clearer time grid, fill the screen without the whole page scrolling, and make it easier to scan cards and calendar items across the day.

• Calendar on mobile — compact view controls and icon actions so filters and add stay reachable; you can scroll through the full day, including late evening, on smaller screens.

• Year view — the annual overview is easier to read, with a refreshed layout aligned with the rest of the calendar.

• Sidebar lists — switch between Recent and Folders in the notes sidebar so you can browse by activity or structure.

• New notes in folders — when the Folders tab is active and a folder is selected, New note creates the note inside that folder.

New features Beta

• Notes workspace — create and organise your notes in a dedicated area with a new writing experience designed for longer, structured documents.

• Smart linking — link notes to each other with quick suggestions while you type, making related information easier to connect and revisit.

• Shareable notes — publish a note with a secure share link so clients or collaborators can read it without needing full workspace access.

Improvements

• Faster note discovery — note search is now available from command-style search so you can jump to the right content quickly.

• Dashboard visibility — your dashboard now surfaces note context alongside existing work views, making planning and follow-up easier.

Fixes

• Email preferences — “Unsubscribe from all” links in Saku emails (notifications, billing, marketing, and account messages) now work reliably instead of failing with an error.

• Card notifications — follow and mute settings on a card load correctly for all workspaces, including older teams that were missing the underlying data.

• CRM welcome — the CRM beta welcome message opens reliably when you first visit CRM, without errors during page load.

• Passkeys — cancelling or timing out during passkey sign-in or registration is handled as a normal outcome instead of surfacing as an unexpected failure.

• Board limits — when your team is over its board limit after a plan change, moving cards and other board actions show a clear plan-limit message instead of looking like a broken save.

New features

• Passkeys — sign in with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device PIN from the sign-in page when you have added a passkey.

• Manage passkeys — add or remove passkeys under Settings → My Account → Security.

Fixes

• Dashboard — opening the dashboard is more reliable if board creation shortcuts are temporarily unavailable during page load.

Improvements

• Boards load faster — large boards open with a lighter initial load, and the app no longer repeats a full refresh when your view is already up to date.

• Faster card saves — editing card details returns sooner; follow-up updates such as activity and notifications run in the background instead of holding up the save.

• Smoother collaboration — when someone else moves or edits a card, your board updates in place without reloading the whole page.

• Card modal — opens more quickly, and the activity timeline loads only when that side panel is shown on wider screens.

• Timers on the board — running timers use less work in the background on busy boards.

• Tabs in the background — routine checks pause while the tab is hidden and resume when you return, so idle tabs stay quieter.

Fixes

• Unsaved card edits — your browser warns you if you try to close the tab while a card is still saving.

Fixes

• Card comments — comments now load when you open a card and remain visible after you refresh the page or reopen the card, instead of only appearing briefly after you post.

Fixes

• Boards — opening a card with no labels is more stable, especially on mobile devices.

Improvements

• Dashboard and My Work — when you belong to several teams, boards, overdue cards, and work items load in parallel so the hub feels quicker on busy accounts.

• Notification emails — clearer, more consistent buttons and layout across board invites, assignments, digests, and password reset messages.

Fixes

• Opening What's new from a link — following a dashboard link with the what's-new flag no longer causes a blank or broken page.

• CRM and other pages — fixing a rare crash when the app read certain URL query parameters.

• Dashboard on mobile — improved stability when the hub loads several sections at once.

Fixes

• Jump to a card — choosing a card from quick search, or following a board link that opens a specific card, now opens that card for you reliably after the board scrolls it into view.

Improvements

• Automatic recovery — if you see the app-wide error screen, the page can refresh on its own so you can often get back to work without hunting for the reload button.

Fixes

• Database upkeep — background work that keeps board and team listings in sync now follows the same update path everywhere, so upgrades stay consistent whether you use our hosted service or your own containers.

• Self-hosted setups — example configuration files now include the server action encryption setting alongside other required variables, so new installs are easier to finish correctly.

Improvements

• Boards and dashboard — opening your boards and hub sections should feel steadier, with less background waiting when several parts load at once.

Fixes

• Behind the scenes — stricter checks on a few server actions so unexpected input is handled more predictably.

Improvements

• Snappier boards feel ready faster when you open them.

Fixes

• Background upkeep now runs more reliably during updates.

Fixes

• Read-only admin card previews no longer trigger unsupported notification controls.

Fixes

• Smoother board and card reliability — opening cards, loading dashboard sections, and everyday board work now recover more gracefully during brief interruptions
• Steadier team and admin behaviour — account and workspace health checks provide clearer, more dependable status information for faster issue resolution
• Session stability improvements — sign-in and access state stay more consistent when background account updates happen

What's new

• Recurring scheduled cards on boards — on Pro, set cards to come back on a rhythm that fits your team, so standing work, reminders, and repeating tasks stay visible without recreating them each time
• Board card feeds (Pro and Max) — each board can offer a feed you can add to your preferred reader so new cards land where you already follow news

Improvements

• Board settings — clearer presentation of scheduling options when you manage how cards repeat
• Dashboard hub switcher — moving between hub sections is quicker; the switcher appears when you hover so you spend less time hunting for the control

Fixes

• Cards and teamwork — timers, checklists, and opening cards behave more reliably when your organisation uses shared boards and teams
• Sessions — sign-in state stays better aligned when administrative actions affect accounts in the background
• Dashboard polish — the hub menu stays steadier without distracting scrollbar flicker; the desktop header spacing reads correctly again

Fixes

• Sign-in stability — sessions now stay quieter and more resilient during brief database restarts or maintenance windows
• Cleaner reliability alerts — temporary database reconnects are handled as expected background recovery instead of creating false alarms
• Board reliability — board refreshes are now more resilient when a temporary server timeout happens in the background, so you can keep working from the board already on screen
• Board sync speed — faster and more reliable live board updates for teams already set up in Saku

Improvements

• Cleaner loading states — key areas like dashboard views, calendar, CRM, boards, templates, and team spaces now use a more unified loading style while data is on the way
• Smoother page transitions — replacing older pulse placeholders with steadier skeleton layouts makes navigation feel more polished and easier on the eyes
• More consistent experience — loading feedback now better matches the final page structure, so screens feel less jumpy as content appears

Fixes

• Board reliability — opening, refreshing, and revalidating boards is now more resilient when data is incomplete, a board is unavailable, or a background request is cancelled
• Dashboard and sign-in stability — transient fetch and transport interruptions are now filtered more accurately so normal browsing and magic-link delivery issues are easier to diagnose without noisy false alarms
• Safer board rendering defaults — the experimental kanban path remains opt-in while the stable board experience stays default for production teams

What's new

• Refreshed dialogs and panels — many modals and workspace panels have been redesigned so key actions are clearer and easier to scan
• Cleaner board and card flows — board views and card interactions feel more consistent, with better spacing and improved visual structure

Improvements

• Faster-feeling workspace UI — common screens now feel more responsive and polished during day-to-day use
• More consistent styling — updated components share a more unified look and behaviour across the app

• Reliability and security — we’ve made reliability and security improvements so the app runs smoother and stays safer
• MCP access — the API key authorisation screen now opens in the app the same way as the rest of Saku, with no jarring full-page jump

Fixes

• Archiving cards — archived cards stay archived after you refresh the page or open the board again; you can still review them from Archived cards

Improvements

• Boards — boards with a long history of archived work load a little faster because the main view focuses on active cards

• More reliable error reporting helps support teams diagnose issues faster when something goes wrong
• Smoother update handling helps keep your app steady and up to date as new versions roll out

Improvements

• Calendar — rotating your iCal subscription link is more reliable; analytics no longer interrupt the flow if something goes wrong in the background
• Costs — receipt uploads attach only after a direct expense saves successfully; failed links are cleaned up so you do not get stray files
• Notifications — marking read or flagging from the list behaves more predictably, with clearer error handling if something fails
• Board exports — cost reports and budgets treat direct expenses consistently with your export settings

Fixes

• Calendar feed — fetching the feed without rotating no longer regenerates tokens on every request
• Board compatibility — older workspaces without newer attachment columns still load board pages and list views without errors

Improvements

• Board overview — when cards have image attachments, you can show a thumbnail on the board list (turn it on or off in appearance settings)
• Dashboard — the create menu includes New board and New card shortcuts
• Notifications — Mark as read and flag from the notification list or dropdown, and the panel stays open while you triage items

Fixes

• Card details — on smaller windows or narrow layouts, side panels tuck away cleanly so the main card view stays easy to read
• Navigation — when you are signed in, the app home link takes you to your dashboard

New features

• Direct expenses on cards — log one-off purchases against a card (item, supplier, amount, date, notes) with an optional receipt; choose bill to client when the amount should count toward billable pass-through totals as well as company cost (where you can see internal figures)
• Costs tab — add and review these lines on the board Insights → Costs view (pick a card when adding) or from a card’s Costs tab; totals stay separate from time-based margin and internal budget so your existing economics stay comparable
• Exports and reporting — Max CSV and PDF cost reports include direct expense rows alongside time; the organisation Costs report and CSV include direct billable and direct company columns where applicable

Documentation

• Cost management docs describe how direct expenses work and how they relate to time-based figures

Improvements

• Calendar subscriptions — you can now generate a fresh iCal link directly from the Calendar subscription panel
• Better control — when you generate a new link, older links for that calendar scope are retired so it is easier to keep subscriptions tidy
• Reliability — creating and copying iCal links now works more consistently, so adding your feed to calendar apps is smoother

Improvements

• Card detail — the activity area has a tidier headline and layout, the side rail lines up more neatly with the content, and the panel keeps a steady width when you switch tabs so nothing jumps around
• What changed on a card — short, plain-language labels when a card is updated, with a bit more breathing room in the tabbed sections
• Time tracking — when you log time, the activity feed shows it as one clear line instead of feeling repetitive
• Busy boards — opening cards and time-related views should feel snappier when several people have timers running at once

Fixes

• Improved connection stability — resolved an issue that could cause the app to become unresponsive when many workspaces were active at the same time; the server now manages database connections more efficiently and within a safe limit
• Faster page loads after updates — internal improvements mean the server no longer accumulates unnecessary background connections after the app is updated, reducing intermittent slowdowns

What's new — CRM (beta)

• Accounts and contacts — browse and open contacts in a dedicated workspace with quick actions that feel consistent with the rest of Saku
• Pipeline — open leads and deals from the board, review them in a focused detail view, and keep notes and comments in one thread so nothing gets lost between sales and delivery
• Contact details — edit profiles with a clearer layout, profile photo, and social links so records stay useful at a glance
• First-time guidance — a short welcome for CRM with an easy way to send feedback; dismiss it once you are settled and it stays out of your way
• Loading experience — richer skeleton states and steadier tab chrome so CRM feels calm while data is on the way

What's new — elsewhere

• Calendar — clearer team-scoped feeds and subscription flow, with stronger feed links and small interface refinements when you plan from the hub
• Dashboard hub — Saku Invoicing appears in the section menu as coming soon (not available yet), so you can see what is next on the roadmap

Improvements

• Hub layout — boards, calendar, and CRM use a more consistent maximum width on large screens for a calmer reading line
• Reliability — fewer rough edges when calendars, boards, or team data are under load, including tidier handling behind the scenes when something is briefly unavailable

Improvements

• Calendar subscriptions — adding your feed from the Calendar page opens in a new tab more reliably (including after your browser has already fetched the link), and team-scoped feeds keep the correct subscription address when you use the built-in “add to calendar” options
• When things get busy — things stay steadier during short busy spells instead of feeling flaky or interrupting you
• Heavier boards — fewer odd hiccups when you’re really loading up a board with lots on the go

Fixes

• Minor stability and polish behind the scenes

New features

• Extended API — scoped, documented endpoints for boards and members (and related workflow) so you can build automations, scripts, and integrations that stay in step with the product
• MCP server — install the published Saku MCP server to let AI agents and automation platforms that support MCP list boards, inspect cards, and take permitted actions on your behalf, using the same access rules as the API

Fixes

• Sign-up reliability — creating a new workspace now completes more reliably during account setup
• Dashboard stability — team and header summaries handle temporary workspace database problems more gracefully
• Platform resilience — background admin reporting no longer interrupts active team activity, improving overall reliability

Fixes

• Boards — opening a board with a newer-style link no longer runs an unnecessary background lookup on every visit, which makes the page quicker and steadier
• Platform — admin overview counts treat older or partially upgraded team workspaces gracefully instead of failing the whole summary
• Sign-in — sign-in is steadier during upgrades: if your account is temporarily missing some new data while we update the database, you can still sign in without hitting an error

Fixes and improvements

• Sessions — when the database is briefly unavailable during verification, we no longer skip the check in a way that could leave a revoked session valid; you may need to sign in again until the connection stabilises
• Digest email — failures while loading teams you belong to are reported correctly instead of being treated as ignorable noise
• Cards and teams — lookups now report membership database issues while muting only the expected noise from optional board-only team probes
• Checklists — “no access to this card” from creating a checklist is treated as an expected outcome, not an app error
• Billing webhooks — error details are logged safely even when the thrown value is not a normal Error or contains circular data

What's new

• Board insights — pick an activity period at the top of the window; timeline and statistics load events for that range instead of a fixed short list
• Pro and Max — extra insight tabs: People (who contributed most), Time (logged time on the board in that period), Flow (how work moved through comments, moves, and related activity), Risk (overdue items and cards that have gone quiet), and Export (download the loaded events as a file you can open in a spreadsheet)
• Card activity history — when you open a card, its activity list can draw from all time so older work on that card is easier to find

Improvements

• Statistics on free teams still show clear headline numbers for the period you chose; richer breakdowns and the new tabs remain part of Pro and Max
• Heavier boards are handled more safely: very busy ranges may show a note if the list is capped for performance, with a nudge to narrow the period if you need a smaller export

Fixes

• Minor stability and reliability improvements

Fixes

Documentation

• Added a full XML sitemap for public pages and docs to improve indexing coverage
• Added a standard robots.txt that points crawlers to the sitemap and keeps member-only areas (like dashboard and boards) out of search results

Fixes

• Dashboard — brief server or network glitches no longer surface as noisy errors while your boards and preferences still load from what is already on your device where possible

What's new

• Create board — optional project economics (internal budget on Max, expected billable total on Pro and Max) in a section you can turn on only when you want targets for this board
• Templates on create board — card grid with full names, an empty board starting point, and links to manage templates with your team
• Create board step order refined for a more natural path through the flow

Improvements

• Long create-board content scrolls inside the dialog while the footer actions stay visible
• Plan labels align consistently next to Project economics and Templates headings

Fixes

• Account settings use a clearer tab structure for accessibility and consistency with the rest of the app

Documentation

• docs/project-economics.md — updated alongside in-app economics behaviour

Improvements

• Board toolbar Insights (was Activity) opens the same modal — Board insights — with timeline, statistics, and costs
• Max CSV and PDF exports: tabbed format with optional internal costs (off by default, with guidance for customer-facing shares); clearer PDF layout names; PDF tables give card titles more horizontal space
• Costs tables (by card, by member, customer preview) use wider card columns so titles break less often

New features

• Team settings → Costs — organisation default currency, default bill (Pro+) and internal (Max), and per-member bill/internal rates with avatars
• Boards inherit org rates automatically; Billing and Costs show when figures still use organisation defaults; optional board currency override
• Cost report (PDF) on Max — multiple layouts (per card detail/summary, per user timesheet/summary), Degular typography, organisation logo when available, Saku footer with generation time
• Money formatting uses the effective currency across costs UI, analytics, and exports

Improvements

• CSV column names use the effective currency code (not hard-coded EUR) where applicable

Documentation

• docs/project-economics.md — currency, precedence, PDF naming, estimates disclaimer

Fixes

• Board list view — Screen readers get meaningful labels for extra assignees, comment counts, and checklist progress instead of bare numbers; each card row is announced and works as a single clear button
• Costs tab — if totals are not available for the current view, you see a clear message and Retry instead of a blank panel

Improvements

• Opening a card from the list view is recorded in error tracking to help diagnose slow interactions

• Magic links now include a clear Continue to sign in step, so your login is confirmed by you before access is granted
• This helps prevent automated link checks from using a one-time sign-in link before the intended person opens it

New features
