AI-powered daily planner combining tasks and calendar with natural-language task entry and integrations

Ellie follows its MCP opening with a 30-day Trash and Google Calendar editing.

◆Current state
Ellie is a solo-built task and calendar planner on web, desktop, iPhone and iPad. The August catch-up release opened task data to outside agents through MCP and an API in beta, alongside iPad Week Calendar, Pomodoro and Quick Capture. The October 5 update added a 30-day Trash across platforms, Google Calendar editing and more iPhone features.
◆Where it's heading
After a long quiet stretch, releases are arriving more often and filling gaps in safety and calendar parity between platforms. MCP access remains the directional bet, while recent work is mostly parity and polish.
◆Prediction
Expect more iPhone and iPad parity work; whether MCP access leaves beta is unclear from the entries.

    iPad Week Calendar, Pomodoro, Quick Capture, rich notes, and MCP

    ⚡ SPARK

    An eight-month catch-up digest whose headline items are app polish, with the directional one placed last: Ellie now exposes an MCP endpoint, making the planner's structure addressable by outside agents rather than only by the assistant built into it.

    🧹 Todoist integration, improved Slack/Notion integrations and more

    A Todoist integration with project, section, label and priority filters, alongside iOS task templates, configurable Slack task defaults and a mobile floating timer. Integration breadth remains the growth axis, and this is the release where changelog generation itself got automated.

    Ellie AI, Task templates, "Add task" from calendar events and more ✨

    ⚡ SPARK

    The first AI surface inside Ellie, aimed at bulk task manipulation by voice or text. It established the assistant-inside-the-app arrangement that this year's MCP work inverts.

    Notion integration, Analytics, Rituals, Notifications and a ton more

    Notion integration, analytics tables with CSV export, rituals, timebox notifications and an iOS timer with Dynamic Island support. The first integration release, and the start of the reachable-everywhere pattern that still governs the roadmap.

    🐹 Outlook Calendar Integration, iOS Widgets, Slack integration and more

    Outlook Calendar with two-way sync, three iOS widget types and a Slack integration for pushing tasks into Ellie. Calendar and chat remain the two places tasks actually originate, and this release covered both.
