Super Productivity vs ZenTao: editorial side-by-side
Super Productivity's feed shows a docs commit, not a release, since August.
◆ Current state
The last tagged release is v18.21.2 in late August, which repaired legacy data migration and sync privacy after the 18.21 device-list and live-presence work. The newest entry is a branch tag on a docs commit recording known capture gaps for repeat tasks and time blocks, not a release.
◆ Where it's heading
The 18.x line built SuperSync into an account surface with device management and encrypted-only uploads, then paused for repair. The docs commit suggests work on task capture is underway, but nothing has shipped in the feed since.
◆ Prediction
The next release likely addresses repeat-task and time-block capture, given the recorded gaps; the feed shows no date.
