Contributors of the month October 2026 46 community contributors had 143 PRs merged in October! From "won't do" tasks, repeat end dates and multi-task dragging to a much bigger Local REST API, faster long task lists, new community plugins and translation updates, this was our biggest month yet by number of contributors. A massive thank you to everyone who invested their time in making Super Productivity better. Outstanding contributions @tiliakoos had a remarkable month with 28 PRs. Highlights include an alarm-style looping bell for reminders on desktop (#11015), New task, Today and Inbox in the macOS dock menu and Windows jump list (#11017), configurable trusted proxy ranges and daily cleanup hour for the SuperSync server (#10297, #10301), and enforcing plugins' minimum app version (#11019). Recurrence got a lot of care too: monthly repeats no longer skip short months (#10919), deleted instances are skipped in the next-occurrence tooltip (#10603), tasks copied by Duplicate Project no longer link to the original's repeat config (#11004), and recurrence date logic is now shared (#11022). The rest spans bug fixes, performance, accessibility, translations, tests and docs. @steindvart contributed 14 PRs, many of them polishing plugins and the side nav. The sync state is now one clear glyph instead of a checkmark overlay (#10430); projects and tags are indented under their section headers, archived projects appear at the bottom of the projects list, and collapsing those lists is animated (#10712, #10713, #10518). On the plugin side: a confirmation before clearing uploaded plugins, clearer naming for that action, translated Community Plugins cards, and plugin language names shown in the UI language (#10558, #10962, #10557, #10559). Short syntax now only suggests @ options the parser actually understands (#10460). @davidvornholt delivered 13 PRs with a focus on the Local REST API and performance. The API can now manage task repeat configs (#10510), correct or remove a day's tracked time (#10890), and read and update simple counters (#10891). A series of performance PRs cut the per-row cost of long task lists (#11105), skip per-second work that changes nothing while tracking or in Focus Mode (#11104), and avoid needless recomputation for due-date colors, archive checks, counter charts and Flowtime animations (#11103, #11107, #11108, #10519). Focus Mode sessions also got more robust (#10995, #11040). @Zoriot contributed 9 PRs: multi-tag filtering in the task view customizer (#11095), making "move to top/bottom" work for tasks in a section (#10747), preserving subtask due dates and undated subtasks when duplicating a task (#10302, #10741), mapping plannedAt to dueWithTime in the Local REST API (#11093), closing note editors before the desktop add-task bar opens (#10300, #10632), and listing the standalone Markdown notes and monday.com plugins in the community catalog (#11096, #11133). @GabeSilvaDev contributed 9 PRs: new repeat instances now appear where the previous one was, including in sections (#11197, #11243); issue-provider plugins can declare their own done states (#10470); the Local REST API waits for archive removal before answering a task restore and keeps reminders in sync when dueWithTime changes (#10967, #11013); settings search reopens hand-collapsed sections (#10601); the Planner shows distinct weekday labels in the app locale (#10629); task lists reject a dragged section (#10900); and missing Brazilian Portuguese strings were translated (#10543). @siemieniuk delivered 6 PRs: an undo button for unscheduling a task (#10450), a localized heatmap with local date formatting (#10329), a thorough Polish translation overhaul (#10324), HTML formatting that showed as raw tags in several translations (#10320), darkening of background images under the Liquid theme (#10466), and reopening a project from its archived project details (#10946). @H1manshu01 contributed 6 PRs: projects and tags now show up in search results (#10606), yearly repeats handle leap days (#10724), checklist items insert reliably on repeated toolbar clicks and hover controls stay clear of note text (#10566, #10605), and several Vietnamese strings were fixed (#10565, #10723). New features and everyday workflows - @anandghegde added "Finish as won't do" for tasks you decide not to do (#10708), an optional end date for repeating tasks (#10276), and kept short-syntax tokens out of auto-created issue titles (#10273). - @ac9492 added dragging selected tasks together between sections and projects (#10505), relative-date colors for scheduled dates and Today icons (#10494), and an opt-in desktop app-icon badge for due tasks (#10921). - @MannXo made the repeat dialog show the next instance and the subtasks it will inherit (#10279) and deferred remote issue deletion until the undo window has passed (#10192). - @nilay1221 added nth-weekday short syntax such as @2monday (#10308). - @ParthibanRajasekaran brought deadlines into the Schedule view (#10310) and let task titles wrap in portrait mode on iOS (#10173). - @symonbaikov added a done/total badge on collapsed subtask toggles (#7115), precomputed ordered task groups in the work view (#8437), and routed plugin PATCH requests through native HTTP on Android (#8590). - @dschodits made deadlines discoverable in the Add Task bar with a hint and a button (#11146). - @artemc added a separate volume setting for Focus Mode sounds (#10568). - @MaiwulanjiangMaiming reworked the side-nav collapse/expand animation and repaired macOS window-drag dead zones (#10303, #10176). - @Zhong-fan kept priorities on recurring tasks and let configured keyboard navigation continue across task groups (#10821, #10822). - @akshit-codes made projects hidden from the side menu selectable in the add-task bar's project picker (#11092).
