What is Leantime?

Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.

Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.

Quidlo vs Leantime: editorial side-by-side

Q0.0

Quidlo's feed is a batch of evergreen productivity explainers crawled in one pass.

◆ Current state

All entries share a single publish timestamp, indicating a bulk crawl of evergreen blog content: time-tracking benefits, productivity metrics, and procrastination facts. Quidlo is a time-tracking tool; this feed is generic productivity content with no product changes.

◆ Where it's heading

No product trajectory is visible, the feed is static educational content captured in one crawl pass rather than a release stream.

◆ Prediction

Nothing here supports a confident product prediction; the crawl source should be re-pointed at an actual changelog.

L5.0

Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.

◆ Current state

Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.

◆ Where it's heading

The release cadence is roughly one feature version every two weeks, split between finer access control and a plugin marketplace that carries more functionality. Core changes increasingly exist to give plugins stable hooks, as the calendar rework shows.

◆ Prediction

Expect more marketplace plugins built on the new calendar and permission hooks, and further permission work extending to the remaining modules.
