UVdesk vs DoneDone: at a glance
What is UVdesk?
UVdesk v1.0.18 adds PHP 8 support and ticket transfer with only one entry visible
UVdesk is a self-hosted help desk platform. The single catalog entry is v1.0.18 from October 2021, which packed PHP 8 compatibility, ticket transfer via workflow rules, a cache-clear dashboard button, saved reply search, and two dozen bug fixes. With only one visible release, the project's current development activity is opaque.
What is DoneDone?
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.

UVdesk v1.0.18 adds PHP 8 support and ticket transfer with only one entry visible
◆ Current state
UVdesk is a self-hosted help desk platform. The single catalog entry is v1.0.18 from October 2021, which packed PHP 8 compatibility, ticket transfer via workflow rules, a cache-clear dashboard button, saved reply search, and two dozen bug fixes. With only one visible release, the project's current development activity is opaque.
◆ Where it's heading
Without multiple entries, it is unclear whether UVdesk is actively maintained or effectively stalled. A v1.0.18 release in 2021 that includes PHP 8 compatibility suggests the team was addressing technical debt at the time. Whether development has continued past this point cannot be determined from the available data.
◆ Prediction
Unclear. If active, a v1.1.x or v1.0.19 release would be the next natural step. The absence of more recent catalog entries suggests either infrequent releases or reduced development activity.
DoneDone
5.0SUPPORT
DoneDone's editor gets tables, spreadsheet paste and text colors.
◆ Current state
DoneDone's November 13 release adds tables to the text editor, with direct paste from Google Sheets or Excel, plus text sizes, colors, highlighting and strikethrough. It follows the November 2 rework of Scheduled Tasks and October's bulk checklist entry and single email connection for several Mailboxes. Late summer brought workflow automations and custom fields.
◆ Where it's heading
After the bigger summer releases, DoneDone has moved into steady polish of daily actions: replies, checklists, schedules and now formatting. Each release removes friction for small help-desk teams rather than adding a new module.
◆ Prediction
More small usability updates on email and tasks are likely; the entries give no sign of another large module soon.
