What is Less Annoying CRM?
Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.

Woodpecker's feed stays on sales and lead-management guides, with no product releases.
◆ Current state
Woodpecker's recent changelog is entirely blog content. Six guides landed within about an hour on 21 September, covering territory planning, lead scoring, lead routing, prioritization, multithreading and segmentation, after a similar batch on 3 September. No platform features have shipped in this visible window.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is search-driven publishing in batches, with topics widening from cold email and compliance toward general B2B sales operations. The absence of product releases keeps the development trajectory opaque.
◆ Prediction
The entries don't support a call on the next product update. Expect further clustered batches of sales guides.

◆ Current state
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.
◆ Where it's heading
The work stays on the daily record view: making the current state of a client easier to see as history grows. No AI, pricing or integration moves appear in the entries.
◆ Prediction
More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.
