What is Reclaim.ai?

Reclaim's roadmap has narrowed to OOO and Slack polish as its release cadence slows

Reclaim's recent shipping is concentrated on out-of-office and Slack integration — custom Slack OOO auto-replies and team OOO calendars are its only two 2026 entries. The rest of the visible feed is from 2025 (a Slack app overhaul, travel timezones, scheduling-link branding). The cadence has thinned noticeably, with multi-month gaps between releases.

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.

Reclaim.ai vs Leantime: editorial side-by-side

R2.5

Reclaim's roadmap has narrowed to OOO and Slack polish as its release cadence slows

◆ Current state

Reclaim's recent shipping is concentrated on out-of-office and Slack integration — custom Slack OOO auto-replies and team OOO calendars are its only two 2026 entries. The rest of the visible feed is from 2025 (a Slack app overhaul, travel timezones, scheduling-link branding). The cadence has thinned noticeably, with multi-month gaps between releases.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is iterating on team-coordination edges — OOO visibility, Slack presence sync — rather than its core AI scheduling. Combined with the slowed cadence, the signal reads as consolidation and polish over expansion.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued OOO/Slack-coordination refinements; the multi-month gaps between releases suggest no major net-new capability is imminent based on the entries shown.

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.
