Nifty rebuilt its mobile apps and shipped capacity planning while its API moved to v3.

mcpapicapacity-planningmobileperformanceproject-management
◆Current state
Three releases in four weeks changed different layers. September 14 opened API v3 with a developer portal and OAuth 2.1, and set a September 1, 2027 sunset for v1. September 28 added Capacity Planner, which turns estimates, working hours and time off into visible capacity on Calendar and Workloads. October 12 rebuilt the iOS and Android apps on a new architecture, and Nifty reports the work behind spinners and long waits fell by about 95%.
◆Where it's heading
The MCP server made Nifty an agent surface in July, and the autumn releases extend beyond it: a public API for integrators, a planning model built on real availability, and a mobile foundation Nifty says will let it ship faster. Agent work continues alongside, with full-thread context for assistants and explicit notice when content is trimmed.
◆Prediction
The October notes list a new rich text editor and AI agent hand-off notes as coming next, and September's named Forms support for MCP and improved invites. Those are the likely next items.

    New iOS and Android apps, plus large web speedups

    The apps are rebuilt from the ground up rather than updated, and the web gets large speedups on big projects and search. Nifty calls the architecture a foundation, so this release matters most for how fast mobile can change next.

    Capacity Planner arrives with a redesigned Calendar

    Capacity Planner adds an Estimate field and working-hour schedules, and aligns Calendar with Workloads. Project planning shifts from task dates and Story Points toward actual availability.

    API v3 opens to every workspace as v1 gets a 2027 sunset

    API v3 and open token registration give integrators a supported path, and v1 now has an end date. Agents also get complete threads, extending July's MCP work into the public API.

    Nifty MCP gains file uploads, Docs control and edit conflict checks

    A month after the MCP server shipped, the August digest widens it rather than redirecting it: file uploads, Doc creation and filing, a guard against overwriting a collaborator's newer edit, and large-document reads cut from minutes to about a second. Funnel charts and much faster twelve-month reports are the other substantive items.

    Nifty ships an MCP server for outside AI assistants

    ⚡ SPARK

    The origin of the arc August extends: outside assistants got read and permissioned write access to the workspace, and everything since has gone into making that access faster and safer.
