Wasp is not public yet. This is the build log: every release since the first line of code, written in terms of what it does for you rather than what changed in the codebase. Early access rolls out in waves. Until then, this page is how you can tell the lights are on.

July 2026

Light mode, and the fine print

Wasp stopped assuming you work in the dark, and started saying in writing what it does with your data.

  • New

    Light mode. Dark, Light or System, chosen in Settings. Left on System it follows your Mac, live, including when the OS flips at dusk.

  • New

    Privacy & Security, Terms, Refunds and Support pages, each opening with a plain English summary before the legal text. Read the privacy policy.

  • Improved

    Charts, panels and the desktop window frame all follow the theme, so nothing is left stranded in the wrong palette.

Notifications that reach you, and land somewhere

Two of the most useful things Wasp does could only reach you if you happened to be looking at it. Not any more.

  • New

    Meeting briefs and deadline warnings now reach you with the app closed.

  • New

    Tap a notification and Wasp opens the exact task, promise or brief it was about, instead of dropping you at the top of the list.

  • Improved

    Briefing items are proper rows you can click, and the click lands: the group unfolds and the task scrolls into view.

  • Improved

    Room to write in the task dialog, and a due date that reads as Today or Tomorrow rather than 07/27/2026.

  • Improved

    The calendar week grid lines up with its own column headers, and the expanded all-day strip stopped squashing tasks into slivers.

  • Fixed

    Wasp no longer treats "Review the Q3 budget" and "Review the Q4 budget" as the same thing.

  • Fixed

    A reply saying "Monday instead" can no longer move a deadline backwards, and a rescheduling reply updates the commitment rather than filing a second copy of it.

Warn before the slip

Until now the engine waited for you to miss something before it said anything. It stopped waiting.

  • New

    Wasp reads the week ahead and tells you when a deadline is running out of room to happen, while there is still time to move it. Each deadline is flagged once, so it stays a warning rather than a drumbeat.

Say it in a sentence

Type what you want instead of hunting for the control that does it.

  • New

    "Push everything non-urgent to next week." "What did I promise Sarah?" "Snooze the Wio thing until Friday." Wasp works out what you meant and which of your items you meant it about.

  • New

    Anything that changes something shows you exactly what it is about to do, on the real items, before it does it. So "everything non-urgent" arrives as the eleven specific things it turned out to mean.

  • New

    One undo for the whole batch.

Permissions that ask for less

Reconnecting an account used to re-ask for the entire list. Now it asks for the one thing that changed, and it can never quietly take a permission away.

  • Improved

    Upgrading a connection asks Google for only the new permission, on a one-line consent screen instead of an intimidating four-line one.

  • Improved

    Reconnect from the feature that needs it and carry on where you were. Your half-written draft survives the round trip.

  • Improved

    The page you land on afterwards names, in plain English, exactly what changed.

  • Fixed

    Approving from the wrong Google account can no longer overwrite the right one. Wasp refuses the whole grant and tells you nothing was changed.

  • Fixed

    Wasp stopped reading its own focus blocks off your calendar and suggesting them back to you as brand new tasks.

  • New

    Cmd-R re-reads everything without reloading the app, so open panels and in-progress drafts survive a refresh.

Draft it

Everything before this told you what you owed. This is the first thing that discharges it.

  • New

    Draft it, on a promise you missed or a reply you are waiting for. Wasp writes it into the existing thread, to the right people, in your voice. It picks that voice up from a few of your own recent sent messages, read at the moment you press the button and never stored.

  • New

    Tell it what to change in a sentence. "Warmer." "Shorter." "Say more about the legal delay." "Mention I am travelling."

  • New

    Save it to Gmail as a draft, or send it yourself. Wasp never decides to send anything: nothing leaves your account unless you read it and press send.

Waiting on

Wasp already tracked what you owe other people. Now it tracks what they owe you.

  • New

    "I'll get you the contract by Thursday" in your inbox becomes something Wasp is watching, with its own page grouped into what is overdue, what is still coming, and what arrived.

  • New

    When the date passes, a chaser you can edit and send, rather than a reminder to write one yourself.

  • New

    Wasp reads the reply and acts on what it says. Something delivered closes the item. "Sorry, Monday instead" moves the date and keeps it open.

  • New

    When it genuinely cannot tell, it asks "did this arrive?" rather than guessing. Quietly dropping something you are owed is the one failure this feature exists to prevent.

It already knows you

Two things Wasp now does before you ask it to.

  • New

    Connect an account and Wasp reads back through your recent history immediately, so the list is worth something on your first screen instead of your first week.

  • New

    A first-run review that puts everything it found in one place, with add, edit or dismiss on each, so nothing gets buried behind everything else.

  • New

    Pre-meeting briefs. About ten minutes before a meeting, Wasp joins up what is still open between you and the people in it. When nothing is open, it says nothing at all.

A list you can read at a glance

Twenty identical red badges tell you nothing. This pass made the screen say what to do first.

  • New

    First up: the single most pressing task lifted out of the list, with its actions on the card.

  • New

    Bands instead of badges. Needs attention, Slipping, On track, and one temperature marker per screen rather than a wall of them.

  • New

    Promises read as a ledger of quoted speech, each line showing how long it has been outstanding.

  • New

    Group the list by priority or due date and collapse the groups you are not working on.

  • New

    An activity timeline on every task: when it was captured, when Wasp checked in, when you moved it and how often.

Repeat, triage, and plain English

Importing a real backlog made two gaps obvious at once: no way to repeat anything, and no way to work through a pile.

  • New

    Recurring tasks. Daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly, anchored to the due date so a Friday review stays on Fridays. Leave one ten days late and you get the next occurrence, not ten of them.

  • New

    Select several tasks and complete, snooze, redate or delete them in one go.

  • New

    Sort the list your way, and it stays that way.

  • New

    A proper new-task dialog with the date, the repeat, the priority and the notes all in front of you, instead of a blank title box you had to enrich afterwards.

  • New

    Promises get their own view, and any promise can become a task without losing its own tracking underneath.

  • Improved

    A copy pass across the whole app. "Rung 2" became "slipping". Internal vocabulary you were never taught is gone.

Polish, and the day it would not open

The first person to install it from scratch got a blank window. Fixing that properly turned into the longest polish pass so far.

  • Fixed

    A fresh install could open to a blank window with no error at all. It cannot any more, and any future startup failure says so in words instead of showing you nothing.

  • New

    Drag a task straight onto the calendar to give it a slot.

  • Improved

    Completing a task plays out properly now. It strikes through, settles, and the list closes the gap behind it instead of the row vanishing mid-thought.

  • Improved

    Notification cards hand over to each other with a crossfade rather than a jump, and clear the moment you act instead of sitting on "Working".

  • Improved

    The daily briefing became tiles at a glance with detail on click, instead of a wall of text you had to scroll.

  • Improved

    The whole shell moved onto one raised panel, so the app reads as a single surface rather than three stitched together.

Broken promises, said out loud

The other half of promise tracking. Not just noticing what you said, but noticing when you did not do it.

  • New

    Wasp works out when a promise was kept and closes it quietly, without asking you to confirm your own good behaviour.

  • New

    When a promised date passes with nothing sent, you get a card that will not be shrugged off. Say you sent it, agree a new date, or drop it on purpose. Those are the options.

  • New

    Off-desk notifications, so an escalation reaches you when the app is shut.

  • New

    A promise made with no date gets a calm nudge and a one-tap way to give it one, rather than sitting there un-trackable.

Wasp on your desktop

The same app, in its own window, in your dock.

  • New

    A desktop app for macOS, built on the same client as the web so the two never drift apart.

  • New

    Native notifications while it is running.

  • Improved

    Notes gained structure. Headings, bullets and checklists from a slash menu, without leaving the panel.

  • Improved

    Focus blocks sync both ways. Delete one in Google Calendar and it disappears here. Delete it here and it disappears there.

A calendar you can work in

Wasp stopped describing your day and started letting you arrange it.

  • New

    A day and week calendar inside Wasp, showing your real meetings, your focus blocks and what is due, in one grid.

  • New

    Schedule a block from any task, from the row menu or the detail panel, and drop it on an open slot yourself.

  • New

    Per-task notes, and a real edit dialog instead of a title-only box.

It stops repeating itself

The same commitment, sent as an email and repeated in Slack, used to become two tasks. This is the work that makes adding more sources safe.

  • New

    Wasp recognises the same commitment across sources by meaning, not by matching words.

  • New

    A task you already wrote by hand stops being suggested back to you.

  • Improved

    When the same thing does turn up twice, Wasp tells you where else it saw it rather than hiding the second sighting.

Your account, your data

Settings in the browser, plans in the open, and a real exit.

  • New

    Full settings on the web: intensity, quiet hours, working hours, reminder times, briefing times, and a timezone that keeps itself in step so nothing fires at the wrong hour when you travel.

  • New

    Plans and pricing in the app, with a 14 day trial of the full Pro experience.

  • New

    Export everything you have, and delete your account for real. A full cascade, not a flag on a row.

Briefings

Two moments a day where Wasp does the thinking instead of handing you another list.

  • New

    A morning briefing: what to focus on today, written knowing what is already in your calendar.

  • New

    An evening recap: what closed, what is still open, and what tomorrow inherits.

  • New

    A weekly read on your workload that names the pattern rather than the number. A rising overdue trend, or one category quietly eating your week.

It learns how you slip

The engine stopped treating everyone the same and started using your own history against your excuses.

  • New

    The Follow-Through Model: a long-run read of when you fade, what you avoid, and which commitments are at risk before you would say so yourself.

  • New

    Escalation tuned to that model. Work you chronically defer is chased sooner. Work you reliably deliver is left alone longer, and Wasp tells you which it thinks this is.

  • New

    Weekly insights that pair a pattern with something to do about it, and show the numbers behind the claim so you can argue with it.

  • New

    Promise tracking. Wasp reads your outgoing mail, finds the commitments you make in your own words, and holds you to them.

The Accountability Engine

The reason Wasp exists. Capture is table stakes; what happens when you stall is the product.

  • New

    Deadline reminders timed to your working hours and your quiet hours, not to a server's clock.

  • New

    Stall detection. Wasp notices the task you keep sliding past, usually before you have admitted it to yourself.

  • New

    The Escalation Ladder. Silence gets a firmer response each time, and the ladder never loops back to a softer one.

  • New

    Schedule a block. When you are stuck, Wasp finds a genuinely free slot in your calendar and puts the work in it.

  • New

    Forced renegotiation. Wasp accepts any answer except silence: finish it, move it, or drop it deliberately.

  • New

    Intensity settings from gentle to firm, and quiet hours it will not cross.

June 2026

Wasp starts listening

The part that makes it an assistant rather than a nicer to-do list. Connect a source and the work starts arriving on its own.

  • New

    Connect Gmail, Google Calendar and Slack. Every permission is spelled out in full before you grant it, and disconnecting revokes the keys and erases them.

  • New

    Wasp reads what arrives, spots the commitments and proposes them as tasks. Low-confidence guesses never surface at all.

  • New

    The ambient suggestion card. Accept, edit or dismiss without leaving what you were doing.

  • New

    Every captured task keeps a one-line summary and a link back to the message it came from. The message itself is never stored.

  • New

    The Trust Center, where you can see exactly what is connected and cut it off.

  • New

    A guided first run that gets you to something useful in under a minute.

Capture, and a list worth keeping

The manual loop, end to end. Get something out of your head in one keystroke and put it somewhere it will not rot.

  • New

    Capture by typing, from anywhere, on a global shortcut, without losing the window you were in.

  • New

    Capture by speaking. Transcription happens on your own machine. The audio never leaves it.

  • New

    The Unified List: complete, snooze, edit, reprioritise and delete, updating live across every window at once.

  • New

    Keyboard-first throughout, with smart views down one side and a detail panel on the other.

  • New

    Rebindable shortcuts, so capture lands on keys you will actually press.

It runs, and it knows who you are

The first thing you could actually open.

  • New

    Sign up, sign in, and stay signed in between launches.

  • New

    The Command Center: a window you summon, living in the menu bar rather than cluttering the dock.

  • New

    Obsidian Chrome, the visual system the whole product still runs on. Colour is reserved for how urgent something is, and for nothing else.

Day one

Before any code, an argument: every tool you own remembers for you, and none of them make you follow through.

  • New

    The premise Wasp has been held to ever since. A task list is where commitments go to die, politely, one snooze at a time. Making that the hard thing is the whole product.

Updated whenever something ships that you would actually notice. Dates are the day the work landed, not the day it was announced.
