Changelog

What changed in each release of Ultrathink, newest first.

The same notes appear in the app, under What’s new in your account menu.

3.84.0: Boards and calendars on every view

15 October 2026

  • Any saved view can now be a board or a calendar. Group a board by status, topic, person or who it is waiting on, add swimlanes to split it again, and drag a task to another day on the calendar to move its due date.
  • New accounts get a short welcome tour: three quick saves, each one skippable, then a look at what Ultrathink did with them.
  • Notes written as plain text keep their paragraphs.
  • The web app now asks before it counts how you use it. You can change your answer at any time in Settings, then Account, under Privacy.
  • When you delete an entry, the screenshots and recordings you saved with it are tidied away too.

3.83.0: Groundwork for views

15 October 2026

  • Groundwork for what comes next on your saved views, and steadier saving when you duplicate or delete a view.

15 October 2026

  • Ultrathink now opens where you left it, straight away, instead of showing a loading screen while it gets ready.
  • The first visit on a new device is quicker too: your newest entries show while the rest arrive.
  • Want to see how fast it opens for you? Click the version number in the account menu.

3.81.1: Comments that stick

15 October 2026

  • A comment sent on a shaky connection no longer says it failed when it was saved.
  • If you post more than 20 comments in a minute, Ultrathink tells you and puts your text back so you can post it again.

3.81.0: Comments from your colleagues

15 October 2026

  • People in your organisation can now comment on entries you share with them. Each comment shows who wrote it, with their email.
  • You can edit or delete your own comments, and you can remove any comment on your own entries.
  • Merging two entries keeps the comments from both.
  • Your AI tools now see an entry’s comments when they open it.

3.80.1: Ask, one key away

14 October 2026

  • Ask is now an icon next to the sort icon on every view. Press A to open it.
  • You can delete your own account in Settings. You type your password again first, and everything you saved goes with it.
  • With Keep my wording, Ultrathink now also leaves your text alone when you save it.
  • The desktop app updates without getting stuck when it is running, and a few labels and hints read better, including the password rule at sign-up.

3.80.0: Saved views, and Ask for a view

14 October 2026

  • Save any filter as a view. Views sit in a new Views section in the sidebar, with a count each, and you can drag them into order. Every change you make is in the link, so a view can be bookmarked or shared, and Save as view appears once you change something.
  • Six ready-made views: Stale (open and not touched for a week), Needs me, Waiting on others, Overdue, This week and Recently captured.
  • Ask turns plain English into a view. Type “overdue tasks waiting on Barnaby” or “everything about Earl from last month as a board”, and it sets the filters, matching names to your own topics, people and statuses. Anything it could not use, it tells you.
  • Filters do more: a topic or person can be any of, all of or none of, the same field can be filtered twice, and dates can be “in the last 2 weeks”, “more than a month ago” or “has a due date”. There are new filters for last updated and for waiting on anyone but you.
  • Home can now open on any view, and the filters you had on Projects, Tasks and Knowledge come with you.

3.79.1: Clearer while the AI works

14 October 2026

  • While the AI works on a new entry, an orange band at the start of its title shows what it is doing, however long the title is. An entry no longer says Unclassified until the AI has finished.
  • The desktop app now says when something has not saved, and why, and tries again by itself once you are back online.

3.79.0: Choose how the AI writes

14 October 2026

  • Settings, Detail panel now has How the AI writes. Pick UK English or US English for summaries and for the AI’s tidy of your notes, or pick Keep my wording and the AI never changes your notes. UK English stays the default.
  • There is now one privacy policy, at tryultrathink.com/privacy. It sets out what Ultrathink keeps, which services handle it, your rights and how visits to the website are counted.

3.78.0: Cleaner topics, your own statuses, and due times

14 October 2026

  • The AI now adds at most three topics to each entry, reusing your own topics wherever it can, and no longer adds general ones such as “documentation” or “task management”. Topics you add are never changed by the AI, and a topic you remove stays removed. Topics the AI added show with a dashed outline and a small sparkle.
  • The Topics page opens with a health panel: how many entries carry a general topic, topics per entry, and topics spelt more than one way, with one click to merge them or to remove the general ones. Every topic in use is listed, and deleting a topic takes it off its entries too.
  • Make statuses your own in Settings, Entities, Status workflows: name them, choose their colours and which ones count as done, give projects statuses too, and give a topic its own workflow, such as Planned, Drafting, To approve and Live for blog posts. Statuses are optional, and your board columns stay as you set them.
  • Tasks can now have a time on their due date, who they are waiting on (you or one person), and labelled links such as “Live post”. Tables have a Waiting on column and filter.
  • Tell the AI what counts as work and what counts as personal in Settings, Entities, and it files your entries with that in mind.
  • Settings now stay in step across open tabs and devices, and dates read right everywhere, including captures just after midnight in summer time.

3.77.0: Ultrathink in Claude Code

10 October 2026

  • Connect Claude Code to your knowledge base with the new Ultrathink MCP server, using a device key with API access (Pro plan). Claude can search your entries, read one in full, find related entries, see what changed lately and list everything about a person or a topic. With a Read+Write key it can also save and update entries for you. MCP server in the help docs shows how to set it up in one command.
  • The API can now list an entry’s related entries, your topics and people with how many entries each has, and the entries about one person or changed since a date. Search results now include a short excerpt of each entry, and every entry search finds, including ones shared with your organisation, opens with get entry.

3.74.0: Row numbers that follow your sort

9 October 2026

  • In tables, row numbers now count down the list in the order you see it, however you have sorted or filtered it.

3.73.0: One search bar, and a livelier app

9 October 2026

  • There is now one search bar, at the top of every page. Type in it to filter the page you are on as you go, whether it shows a list, a table, a board or a calendar. Press Enter to ask AI search instead, and the answer opens on the Search page.
  • Type # and a topic, or @ and a person, then press Enter, and it becomes a filter on the page. Esc clears the search bar, and Ctrl K takes you to it from anywhere.
  • A new entry shows the AI at work in its row, step by step, as its title, summary and topics arrive.
  • Drop a file, a link or some text anywhere on the window to capture it.
  • Opening an entry glides its title into the detail panel, and J and K move to the next and previous entry.
  • Hold the New button to record a voice note, and let go to save it.
  • Turn on the similar lens, and pointing at an entry lights up its similar and linked entries in the list, table or board.
  • You can hide the New button and the other add buttons. N, or dropping something on the window, still opens quick capture.
  • The comment box sits next to the newest comment, at the top when the newest comes first.
  • Most of these have their own switch in Settings, then Appearance, under Interface.
  • Recent in the sidebar can now show everything in one list, newest change first, whatever its type. Choose it from the menu next to Recent.

9 October 2026

  • Search and Work plan no longer cover the detail panel, and an empty search suggests what to do next.

3.72.0: Task reminders, when you want them

8 October 2026

  • Task reminders are here. The Ultrathink desktop app can remind you of tasks that are due today or overdue, at times you choose, and clicking a reminder opens the task.
  • Reminders are off until you turn them on. Go to Settings, then Notifications, and switch on Remind me about my tasks.
  • Choose your reminder times there, and turn reminders off at weekends or set quiet hours if you like. If you use more than one computer, only one of them shows each reminder.
  • Press Send a test reminder to see one straight away. Reminders need the latest version of the desktop app.

3.71.0: A fresh look for Ultrathink

8 October 2026

  • Ultrathink has a fresh look: a full-height sidebar, a slimmer top bar, and each page in its own calm panel.
  • Lists, tables and the kanban board are easier to scan. Group the list view, and reset column order and widths from the column menu.
  • Filter your entries from the page header. Each filter shows as a chip you can remove, and Due: This week is a new choice.
  • The detail panel is quieter and easier to read, with an option in Settings to give each section a background. Comments appear as soon as you post them.
  • Quick capture opens in its own window from the New button.
  • Text size and density now apply across the app, including the detail panel and your entries pages.
  • Recent is now a section in the sidebar, and you can move it like any other.
  • People and Topics have the new look too.
  • On a phone, open the sidebar from the menu button in the top bar.
  • New entries get an AI title unless you have switched AI titles off in Settings.
  • Times on entries and comments are shown correctly wherever you are.

3.70.0: A clearer Settings page

8 October 2026

  • Settings has a new layout. Its own list of pages takes the place of the main menu while you are in Settings, and Back to Ultrathink takes you straight back.
  • Each setting sits on one row, with what it does on the left and the switch or choice on the right, grouped under clear headings.
  • On a phone, Settings opens on the list of pages, so you can go straight to the one you want.
  • Members of your organisation are listed by name in your account settings.

3.68.0: Your tasks on a calendar

8 October 2026

  • The Tasks page now has a calendar. Pick it with the calendar button beside the list and board buttons, then choose a month or a week.
  • Each task sits on the day it is due. Done tasks are faded, and anything past its due date is marked so it stands out.
  • Click a task to open it, just as you would in the list. When a day has more tasks than fit, click “more” to see that week in full.
  • Your search, filters and #topics apply to the calendar too, and tasks without a due date are counted and listed so none go missing.
  • On a phone, tap any day in the month to see its tasks listed underneath, starting with today.
  • To open the Tasks page on the calendar every time, choose Calendar as the default view in Settings, under Tasks.
  • Make the calendar your own in Settings, under Tasks: start the week on Sunday, hide weekends or done tasks, open on a month or a week, choose how many tasks show each day, and colour tasks by status or topic.
  • A task due today now counts as overdue only once the day is over, everywhere in the app, and due dates show the right day wherever you are.

3.67.0: Ultrathink opens faster

8 October 2026

  • Ultrathink now opens almost straight away when you come back to it, because your entries and settings are ready on your device while the latest changes arrive.
  • Moving between your main pages is quicker the first time you open each one.
  • When you sign out, the copy kept on your device is cleared.

3.66.0: Quicker to open, however many screenshots you keep

8 October 2026

  • Screenshots and files you capture are now kept alongside your entries rather than inside them, so your entries open faster, especially if you have saved a lot of images.
  • Everything you have already saved works exactly as before.

3.64.0: A guided tour, and this panel

6 October 2026

  • A guided tour shows you how to capture something, find it again, open an entry, manage tasks, plan your week and connect your other apps. It never saves or changes anything while it runs.
  • This panel is new too. When we release something you will notice, a short note appears here, and you can read back through earlier releases at any time.
  • Start the tour or open What’s new whenever you like, from your account menu in the top right or from the Help panel.

  • Unstarring a duplicate card on the work plan removes that copy from the board.

3.61.0: A tidier work plan toolbar

13 July 2026

  • The drawing tools (pen, highlighter, shapes, text and sticky notes) sit on a floating palette on the left of the canvas, with their colour and thickness options beside them.
  • Reset view, hide completed and fullscreen live on a small rail at the top left of the canvas, so the toolbar fits smaller screens.
