Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes — straight from our build log, published as we ship.

August 2026

Aug 20

Show clients which version a task is live in

Feature

If you run a preview site alongside the live one, you can now say so. Each subproject gets its own release stages — Preview, Production, whatever you call them — with the version currently running on each. Tasks keep the single version field they always had, and the stage badge is worked out for you: a task marked 1.4.0 reads “Live” once Production is on 1.4.0 or later, and “Preview” while it's only out on preview. Deploy, bump one number, and every task badge moves at once — no going back through tasks one by one. Because stages sit on the subproject, two websites in one project can run completely different version lines without confusing each other. Turn on “Show versions & stages” in your share settings and clients see it all on the share link, including which stage each version is on. It stays off for existing links until you switch it on.

Aug 20

Put tasks on hold

Feature

Work that's real but not right now no longer clutters your board. Set a task to On Hold and it moves into its own column at the end of the board, out of the way of what you're actually working on. The board now reads left to right as your actual pipeline — On Hold, Open, In Progress, In Review, Done — with the two states that aren't live work folded away as slim rails on either side. The board opens on the work in flight, the live columns get the full width, and each rail still shows how much is parked behind it. Click a rail to slide it open, click its header to fold it back. Held tasks stay fully editable and searchable, but they stop counting against you: they're left out of the progress bar, they don't show up in your dashboard queue, and they no longer warn you off marking a subproject as done.

Aug 19

Reply to comments

Feature

Comments can now reference each other: hit the reply arrow on any comment to quote it in your answer. The reply shows a compact quote of the original — click it to jump right to it in the conversation. Everything stays in one clear stream, no nested threads. Works on shared project pages too, so clients can reply to your comments directly.

Aug 19

What's new, right in the app

Improvement

A new button in the top bar shows you the latest features and improvements at a glance. A small dot lights up whenever something new has shipped since your last look — like right now.

Aug 19

Drag & drop on the board, links in notes

Feature

You can now drag tasks between the board columns to change their status — a plain click still opens the task. The board is also the default view now, in the app and on shared project pages; if you prefer the list, your choice is remembered per project. Task notes support links: paste or type a URL and it becomes clickable, opening in a new tab. On shared project pages, your own comments now stand out in their own color so clients can tell their messages from the team's, the board view uses the full width of large screens, and note links work there too.

Aug 18

Notes and comments side by side

Improvement

Opening a task note no longer hides the activity timeline. On a wide screen the task panel widens and the note opens as a third column on the right, so you can read the comments while you write. Close the note and the panel slides back to its normal width.

Aug 13

New task status: In Review

Feature

Tasks can now be marked as In Review — for work that's finished building but still being tested or checked. The board gets a fourth column between In Progress and Done, and the new status shows up everywhere: lists, filters, shared project pages and email notifications. The board also adapts better to smaller screens (columns wrap instead of scrolling sideways), and long columns show the first 10 tasks with a "Show more" button.

Aug 13

Smoother images in comments

Improvement

Attached images now show a small thumbnail in the comment box before you send, and no longer flicker when the comment is posted. On shared project pages, clicking an image or file in a comment opens the full-screen preview instead of a new tab.

Aug 13

Shared projects: board view, notes and a refreshed task panel

Feature

Public share links got a big upgrade. Visitors can now switch between a list and a kanban board, and the task panel matches the app's new look — including formatted task notes with headings, lists and code blocks (when notes are enabled for the link). Also fixed: tasks with notes could fail to open on the shared page.

Aug 11

Notes in project resources

Feature

Resource categories can now hold formatted notes alongside images and PDFs — for briefings, research findings or decisions that don't belong to a single task. Notes use the same rich editor as task notes. On large screens, opening a note, image or PDF docks it in a panel next to the list so you can read it side by side with your resources. Changes from teammates appear live.

Aug 10

Project resources

Feature

Every project now has a Resources page for project-wide files: brand guides, budgets, research and more, organized into categories you name yourself. Upload images and PDFs, preview them right in the app, and find the page next to the sub-project tabs. Uploads from teammates appear live.

Aug 10

A redesigned Today view

Feature

Your dashboard now opens with what matters: changes from your team you haven't seen yet — with a one-click "Mark all as seen" — the latest comments across your projects, and your open tasks sorted into Overdue, Due today and In progress lanes. Everything opens the task directly.

Aug 10

A bigger, calmer task panel

Feature

Opening a task now shows a wide two-part panel: details, notes, files and subtasks on the left, and the conversation always visible on the right — no more switching tabs to see comments. Notes open in place, comments send with Enter, and the whole panel follows the app's new softer look. On phones everything stacks neatly.

Aug 10

A calmer, more compact board

Improvement

Board cards got a redesign: shorter cards show the task number, due date, subtask progress and attachment and comment counts in one line, so more tasks fit on screen. Columns and tabs lost their border lines in favour of soft tonal surfaces, and the sub-project and view switchers are now clean pill controls. The separate project attachments page has been retired — files live on their tasks, and project-wide resources are coming as their own space.

Aug 9

Set priority and category straight from a board card

Feature

On the Kanban board you can now change a task's priority and category right on the card, the way the list view already worked — no need to open the task first. Cards also carry a coloured left edge showing their priority, which turns green once the task is done.

Aug 9

More room on large screens

Improvement

The board and the task list now use the full width of a large monitor instead of stopping short, fitting more cards side by side as the screen grows. Text across the app renders lighter and crisper, and the board and list toolbars now look and behave the same.

Aug 9

A cleaner, calmer look

Improvement

Nebulist got a visual refresh: a crisper typeface throughout, more breathing room on the Kanban board with color-tinted columns, a bolder project header, cleaner subproject tabs, and the sidebar now identifies projects by their initials.

Aug 8

See your project as a board

Feature

Every project now has a Kanban board view next to the list: tasks grouped into Open, In Progress and Completed columns, with priority, category, due date and comments at a glance. Switch between list and board at the top of the task area — each project remembers your choice.

Aug 8

The sidebar is always within reach

Improvement

The sidebar now stays visible as a slim icon rail and expands the moment your cursor touches it — no more clicking to open it. Move the cursor away and it slides back out of the way, or pin it to keep it open. Your content keeps its full width either way.

Aug 3

Attach files to a comment

Feature

You can now attach images, videos and PDFs directly to a comment — paste a screenshot, drop a file, or use the paperclip. They show up right in the conversation and still land in the task's attachments, so nothing moves and nothing is duplicated. Clients viewing a share link see them too.

Aug 3

Archive finished subprojects

Feature

Finished subprojects can now be marked as done and moved to a project archive, so All Tasks only shows work that is still live. Nothing is deleted — the archive keeps every task, and reopening one brings its subproject straight back. Subprojects can also be renamed now: click the name in project settings.

July 2026

Jul 22

Clearer task lists

Improvement

Completed tasks now visually fade into the background so open work stands out. Task lists also show a version column and the subproject each task belongs to.

Jul 6

Smoother note creation

Fix

New notes no longer flash twice while being created, and the activity feed shows the note's actual title instead of a placeholder.

Jul 2

Better on your phone

Improvement

A full mobile checkup: project pages scroll properly again, headers and buttons adapt to small screens, and everything is easier to tap.

Jul 2

Faster loading, smoother navigation

Improvement

Nebulist now opens with your data already in place — no more loading flash. Pages transition with a subtle fade, and search results list matching projects above tasks.

Jul 2

Permission changes apply instantly

Improvement

When your role in a shared project changes, you see it immediately — no reload needed. Members with Contribute access can edit any task again, as intended.

Jul 2

Security hardening

Improvement

A round of under-the-hood security improvements keeps your projects and data even safer.

June 2026

Jun 25

A calmer, redesigned dashboard

Improvement

The dashboard got a fresh editorial look — a personal greeting, today's date, and one focused column instead of crowded stat cards. Task and note editing picked up refinements too, including rich text in the create dialog.

Jun 25

New floating sidebar

Feature

The sidebar now floats above your content and tucks itself away when you don't need it — more room for your tasks on every screen size.

Jun 25

Names always up to date

Fix

When someone changes their display name, the new name now appears everywhere right away — in activity, comments, notes, and avatars.

Jun 10

More detailed activity feed

Improvement

Changes to priority, category, and subproject now show up in the activity feed and in your email digest — so you always know exactly what changed.

Jun 10

Filter tasks by priority

Feature

A new priority filter joins status and category in every task list. Loading more recent tasks on the dashboard now works reliably, too.

Jun 8

Bulk actions and category filters

Feature

Select multiple tasks at once to move, categorize, or trash them — with progress toasts so you know when it's done. A new category filter and open-task counts round out the project view.

Jun 8

A clearer activity timeline

Improvement

Activity events are now color-coded cards with icons, so you can scan what happened at a glance. You can also edit your own comments inline, and comments post instantly.

Jun 2

Share previews and due date fixes

Fix

Public share links now show a proper preview image in chat and social apps, and due dates no longer shift by a day in some timezones.

Jun 1

Guest comments on shared projects

Feature

Visitors on a public share link can now comment on tasks — no account needed — and your team gets notified. Share links also got shorter, readable URLs.

May 2026

May 12

Search by task number

Feature

Type a task's number — like WEB-12 or just 12 — into the command palette to jump straight to it. Signing in and out feels faster, too.

May 6

Mobile refinements

Improvement

Smoother scrolling in the task view, compact project headers, no more unwanted zoom when typing on iOS — plus a show/hide toggle on password fields.

May 4

Public share links

Feature

Share a read-only view of any project with clients or stakeholders via a secure link — no account required. You control whether notes are visible, and you can rotate or disable the link anytime.

May 4

Trash with 30-day recovery

Feature

Deleted tasks now go to a trash instead of vanishing. Restore them anytime within 30 days — after that they're removed automatically.

May 3

A brand-new website and sign-in

Feature

Nebulist got a completely new landing page, a slick sign-in dialog, and a redesigned sign-up. The site also detects your language automatically, with a switcher to change it anytime.

May 1

Hide completed tasks

Feature

A new filter option hides completed tasks from any list, so you can focus on what's still open.

April 2026

Apr 30

Password reset

Feature

Forgot your password? Request a reset link by email and set a new one in seconds.

Apr 28

Nebulist works on your phone

Improvement

A top-to-bottom mobile pass: layouts, the task view, dialogs, and touch targets now adapt properly to small screens.

Apr 28

All-new notes editor

Improvement

Task notes now use a modern block editor: drag blocks to rearrange, highlight text in color, and format your documentation exactly how you want.

Apr 26

Project progress at a glance

Feature

Every project now shows a progress bar with completed and in-progress work, so you instantly see how far along you are.

Apr 25

Rich text task descriptions

Feature

Task descriptions support real formatting now — headings, lists, code, and more — instead of plain text.

Apr 25

All project files in one place

Feature

A new attachments page lists every file uploaded across a project's tasks, searchable by filename — no more opening tasks one by one.

Apr 24

Email notifications

Feature

Get emails for project invites, comments, and status changes on your tasks — plus an optional digest that bundles updates. Every category can be controlled in your preferences.

Apr 23

Create tasks with AI

Feature

Describe your work in plain words and Nebulist drafts a set of tasks with titles, descriptions, and subtasks — you review and adjust everything before it's created.

Apr 22

Keyboard shortcuts

Press C to create a task, / to search, and ? to see the full cheat sheet.

Apr 22

Change your email and password

Feature

Update your sign-in email and password anytime from the new Security tab in your profile settings.

Profiles, avatars, and preferences

Feature

Set your display name, upload a profile picture, and pick your language and theme — all from the new profile and preferences dialogs.

Apr 20

Comments and task activity

Feature

Discuss any task in a chronological timeline that mixes comments with what happened — status changes, completions, and more. Mark a comment as an update to make progress stand out.

Apr 19

Instant search

Feature

Press Cmd+K anywhere to search tasks and projects. Results appear as you type, tolerate typos, and can be navigated entirely by keyboard.

Apr 19

Share projects with your team

Feature

Invite people to a project by email with the right level of access — Edit, Contribute, or View. Everyone sees who's on board.

Apr 19

Real-time collaboration

Feature

Changes from teammates appear live, without reloading. Unseen badges show which tasks are new or updated since you last looked.

Apr 19

Pin tasks for your whole team

Pin important tasks to the top of the list — everyone in the project sees the same pins. A dedicated Pinned page collects them across all your projects.

Apr 19

Files and links on tasks

Attach images, PDFs, and videos to tasks, add reference links, and preview files in a full-screen viewer.

Apr 18

Task notes

Apr 17
