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.

September 2026

High and medium priority are told apart at a glance in dark mode

They were clearly different in light mode and nearly the same color in dark. Now they match.

  • Fixed

    The priority ring on a dark-mode task row now reads its level at a glance. Medium and high were both orange and sat far closer together than the same two do in light mode, so a high-priority task did not stand out the way it should. Medium is now a clear gold and high a stronger orange. Urgent and low are unchanged, and so is light mode.

The bug button takes ideas too

It was called "Report a bug" and asked what went wrong, so nobody had anywhere to say what was missing.

  • Improved

    The bug button in the title bar is now "Send feedback". Same one box, same single press, but it asks what is wrong or what is missing. A feature you wish Wasp had, something that confused you, or a genuine bug all go to the same place.

The promises pinned above your list are the ones you still owe

A commitment you have already kept is not something to be reminded about.

  • Fixed

    A kept promise leaves the strip above your task list straight away. It used to stay there until midnight, so a promise closed out just after midnight sat pinned to every view for the rest of the day with nothing you could do about it. Kept promises are on the Promises page, one click away on "All promises".

  • Improved

    "Done it" now tells you it worked. Pressing it confirms the promise was marked kept and offers to open the full list, and if the change cannot be saved it says so rather than doing nothing.

Workload says what it means, and your account lives in one place

A page about how much you are carrying should be readable at a glance by someone who has never seen it before.

  • Improved

    "The Fortnight Ahead" is now "The next two weeks", with the actual dates beside it. Each of the fourteen days is a cell that darkens as it fills and turns warm when it is past what you usually finish on that weekday, so a heavy stretch is visible without reading a chart.

  • Fixed

    Wasp no longer refers to "week 5". Its read of your workload counted weeks by position, which means nothing to anyone looking at the page. It now names the dates, and any analysis already written is corrected as it is shown to you.

  • Improved

    Plainer words throughout Workload. "Cleared" is now "complete", the tasks behind every number open where you are rather than in a second pop-up, and the vaguer lines have gone.

  • New

    Settings, the Trust Center and sign-out are in your profile row. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and they are all there, with a link to this page. Settings also opens with Cmd+, (Ctrl+, on Windows and Linux).

  • Improved

    The Trust Center explains muted senders in ordinary language. The section describing which senders Wasp has asked you about was written in terms only its author understood.

Blocking out time no longer fills your list with things that were never tasks

Planning a day and committing to something are different acts. Wasp was treating them as one.

  • Improved

    Drawing a block on the calendar no longer creates a task. Blocking out lunch, a workout or a haircut used to add each one to your task list beside real commitments. Now it just blocks out the time, which is what you asked for.

  • New

    Say when a block IS a commitment. A "Track as a task" tick sits beside the Book button, and turning it on lets you set a priority and notes there and then. The task is dated to the day you blocked out, so Wasp can actually follow up on it.

  • New

    Change your mind later. Open any blocked-out time and there is a "Track as a task" button. Nothing is lost by starting with a plain block.

Focus blocks land on the quarter hour, and you can edit one without leaving it

A block you aimed at half past nine should say half past nine, and its name should be yours to change.

  • Fixed

    Dragging a block on the calendar now snaps to 15 minutes. It used to settle on 5-minute steps, so a block aimed at 9:30 pm could land on 9:20 pm. Every block now starts on the hour, quarter past, half past or quarter to, wherever it came from.

  • New

    Rename a focus block from the block itself. Click a block and its title is an editable field. The new name goes to your Google Calendar and to the task in your list together, so the two can never say different things.

  • New

    Change a block's day, start and end without dragging it. The block's detail view now carries a date, a start time and an end time, each opening the same picker your due dates use. End times show how long they make the block, so you pick a finish rather than doing the arithmetic.

  • Improved

    A block's own name is the first thing you read. The words "Focus block" sat above it at the same size as a heading, which made it easy to mistake for the title. It is now a small label, and the name you gave the block leads.

One fewer page, and a week that spreads itself sensibly

The Daily Briefing told you three things your list, your rail and Workload were already telling you better.

  • Improved

    The Daily Briefing page has been retired. How loaded your day is lives on Workload, what to start on is the first card on your list, and the counts are in the rail beside you. A page that repeated all three, less well, is one more place to go for nothing.

  • Fixed

    "Spread over the week" no longer pushes your most important work furthest out. It gave each task the emptiest day, and the emptiest days are the ones furthest away, so the highest-priority tasks were landing at the end of the week while small things took today. It now fills the soonest days first.

  • Fixed

    Spreading a week no longer moves your repeating tasks. Shifting one occurrence of a daily habit does not reschedule it, it skips every day in between. Repeats are left where they are.

Tick off a repeating task late and today's one still shows up

Doing something and remembering to tick it off are two different moments. The gap between them was quietly costing you a day.

  • Fixed

    A repeating task completed a day late no longer skips today. Mark yesterday's daily task done this morning and the next one arrives dated today, where it belongs, instead of jumping to tomorrow. The same applies to a weekly task you finish a week late, and to "every weekday" repeats.

  • Fixed

    A day you have already dealt with cannot come back. Finish today's repeat, then go back and tick off an older one you had forgotten, and you get no second copy of something already done, dropped or skipped.

  • Fixed

    The "dismiss all" bar is no longer sliced off at the top. When several prompts stack up, the bar that caps them had its top edge cut away by the panel behind it. It now sits fully on screen.

  • Fixed

    Date pickers and menus stay on screen when the app is zoomed in. Move date, the right-click menu and the notes slash menu were opening partly past the edge of the window at anything above 100%, with their right-hand side cut off.

You can tell a medium task from a high one at a glance

The colored ring on each task is how priority reads while you scan the list. Two of the four levels had drifted close enough together to be the same color.

  • Fixed

    Medium and high no longer look alike in light mode. They were a shade apart, close enough that a medium task read as nearer to urgent than to the level directly above it. Medium is now a clear gold and high a clear orange, with the reds kept for urgent alone.

  • Improved

    The ring gets thicker as the task gets more urgent. Priority no longer rests on color alone, so the scale still reads on a poor screen, at the edge of your vision, or if you are one of the roughly one in twelve men who cannot separate reds from greens. For those eyes the four colors were previously indistinguishable, and the thickness now carries the whole signal.

The right-click menu stays on screen

Right-clicking a task near the bottom of the window opened a menu whose last options were below the edge of the screen, with no way to reach them.

  • Fixed

    The menu opens where it fits. It was flipped up or down on a guess at how tall it would be, and the guess was short, so for a task low in the list the bottom of the menu, Delete included, was simply off screen. It now measures itself and opens upwards from your cursor when there is no room below.

  • Fixed

    Reschedule and Priority slide up rather than running off. Those fly out level with the row you hovered, so near the bottom of the window their own options were cut off. They now shift up by exactly enough to sit fully in view.

Wasp stops crying wolf about your email connection

A moment's turbulence was enough to tell you Google had cut Wasp off, and then quietly stop reading your mail until you did something about it.

  • Fixed

    A brief hiccup no longer reads as lost access. If Wasp could not reach its own records for a second, or Google was slow to answer, it treated that as proof your permission had been withdrawn. It raised the "Wasp has lost access to Gmail" bar, stopped capturing, and stayed that way until you reconnected an account that had been working the whole time. Wasp now waits and tries again, and only tells you access is gone when Google actually says so.

  • Improved

    The warning says which account. With a personal and a work mailbox connected, "Wasp has lost access to Gmail" left you guessing whether half your mail had stopped arriving or all of it. It now names the account, and groups a mailbox and its calendar together when one sign-in covers both.

  • Improved

    The warning is easier on the eye. It was a wide red wash across the top of the app, in a shade retired from the rest of the product months ago. It is now a plain raised bar with a single amber mark, so it still reads as the most serious thing on screen without painting the whole window as an alarm.

Being copied on an email is no longer being handed the job

A colleague writing to a customer with you in copy is a real request, and a real promise. Neither one is yours.

  • Fixed

    Wasp reads who a message was actually addressed to. Until now it only checked whether an email reached you at all, so a request written to somebody else, with you copied in, looked exactly like a request written to you. Both are common and only one is work you owe. Wasp now tells the difference, and asks who the action belongs to before it offers you a task.

  • Fixed

    Wasp no longer says a colleague owes you something they promised a customer. The same blind spot was quietly filling your waiting-on list. If someone writes "I will get you an update by end of day" to a client and copies you, Wasp was recording it as owed to you, and chasing them when the day passed. It now asks who the promise was made to before it tracks one.

  • Improved

    A real ask still reaches you when you are only copied. This raises the bar on mail addressed past you, it does not silence it. If someone asks you for something, or promises you something, while you are in copy, that still lands the way it always did.

A forgotten timer no longer throws away the hour you worked

Leaving a timer running past its check-in used to cost you everything before it, not just the part Wasp was unsure about.

  • Fixed

    Time you already worked is kept when a timer goes unanswered. Wasp checks in after an hour. If you were away and never answered, it used to forget the whole session and offer to record it as zero, even though it had been counting all along. It now keeps the hour it was sure about and only drops the unverified time after it.

  • New

    You can type the real number. The question about a forgotten timer now has a "Set it myself" option, so a session where you worked forty minutes and then went to a meeting can be recorded as forty minutes instead of forcing a choice between two figures that are both wrong.

A shorter Analytics page

Two things on it were earning their space less than the room they took.

  • Fixed

    Your weekly read no longer appears twice. The sentence Wasp writes about your week was printed once near the top of Analytics and again near the bottom. It now appears once, at the top, where you see it without scrolling.

  • Improved

    The nudge response chart is gone. It split your reminders into answered and ignored, which turned out to say very little about the thing that matters: whether the work got done, and done on time. Those are already on the page, in the rings at the top. Where your tasks come from now takes the full width.

Cancel your subscription from Settings

Leaving should be as plain as joining, and in the place you would think to look.

  • New

    A Cancel button sits in Settings, next to Manage. One click asks why you are leaving and, where there is a cheaper plan that would suit you better, offers it. Say no and the cancellation goes through: you keep everything until the end of the period you have paid for. Nothing is hidden behind a support email, and if anything goes wrong the button falls through to your billing page, which cancels too.

Leaving Wasp open across an update no longer breaks it

A window that had been open for days could refuse to load anything, with an error that explained nothing.

  • Fixed

    Wasp updates itself instead of showing "Wasp couldn't start". When a new version shipped, a window that had been open since before it was still asking for pieces of the older version, which no longer existed. It stopped with a message about a MIME type that told you nothing about the cause or the cure. It now picks up the current version on its own, and if that does not work, it says the app has been updated and gives you a Reload button rather than an error.

Your briefing tells you whether today is winnable

A count of what is due means nothing on its own. Now it is drawn against how much you actually get through in a day.

  • New

    The morning briefing opens with the day measured against your real pace. Not "39 things due", but 39 against the six you clear on a normal day, with a marker showing where normal ends. When the day holds more than that, it says so, while there is still time to move something. The evening version shows what you finished of everything the day held.

  • New

    Every "what to change" row on Workload now carries a picture. A line where the question is which way something is heading, a bar against your usual pace where it is how far past normal a day has gone, the week with one day picked out where the finding is about that day, and a share of your list where it is how much of it something accounts for.

  • Improved

    The task list reads as a list again. Rows sit closer together and take a squarer corner than everything else on screen, so a task is visibly a thing you act on rather than another panel to read. Section headings are no longer quieter than the rows underneath them, which is what made a long list run together into one block.

  • Improved

    The fortnight ahead judges each day on its own day of the week. One average across all fourteen days held a Saturday to a Tuesday's standard, which called quiet weekends overloaded and let genuinely stuffed weekdays through. The line now steps: it sits where you actually finish on that kind of day, using your own history once there is enough of it, so "move this now while it is free" is advice worth taking.

  • Fixed

    Chart tooltips no longer chase the pointer. Moving between points on the Workload chart slid the card over almost half a second while its numbers changed instantly, so for most of that slide it showed one week's figures over another week's column.

A task is late when its day is over, not at five o'clock

Reminders stopped inventing a deadline nobody set, the whole morning's worth now arrive as one card, and Workload became a picture you can ask questions of.

  • Fixed

    No more "due in about an hour" on a task that has no hour. Wasp only ever asks you for a date, and it was quietly treating five o'clock as the deadline inside that date: warning you an hour before it, then telling you off after it. A task is now late when its day is over, so nothing gets chased on the afternoon it is still due.

  • Fixed

    No more "due tomorrow" reminders, including the ones that fired the moment you set a date. Giving a task tomorrow's date in the afternoon would send you a heads-up about it seconds later. That whole day-before nudge is gone: the evening briefing already tells you what is coming, once, for the whole day instead of once per task.

  • Improved

    The morning's reminders arrive as one card, not fifteen. When several tasks are due today, Wasp gathers them into a single prompt that opens the same one-tap triage the catch-up flow uses. Every task still gets its own decision, you just make them in one pass instead of clearing a queue.

  • New

    Workload is now a picture, with a time range. Four weeks, eight, twelve or all of it, the same as Analytics. It shows the overdue pile you are carrying week by week, which weekday keeps taking on more than it finishes, and the fortnight ahead drawn against the number of tasks you actually clear on a normal day, so an overloaded Thursday is visible while moving something is still free.

  • New

    "What to change" opens the tasks it is talking about. Instead of paragraphs, Workload gives you at most four things worth changing, each one a number you can click to see exactly which tasks are behind it. It also names the tasks with no date on them, which are the ones Wasp cannot chase for you.

  • Fixed

    Workload no longer shows you a window from six weeks ago. It read from a summary written once a week, so a quiet stretch left the page showing July dates in September with nothing saying so. Everything on it is now worked out from your live task list.

  • Improved

    The daily briefing says less. Its summary paragraph had grown to the point of listing every task again underneath the rows already showing them, and was being cut off mid-sentence. It is now two lines of actual sequencing advice, sitting with the "Start here" block it describes, and the day's shape leads with its own headline number.

  • Fixed

    Buttons are readable in light mode. A few filled buttons, including "Add your first document" on Key dates, were drawing dark text on a mid-blue fill.

Moving a date moves one task, not two

Picking a new date could quietly give a second, unrelated task the same deadline.

  • Fixed

    Choosing a date from the calendar sometimes rescheduled a task you had not touched. Once the task you moved left the view it was in, the list handed your selection to another task, and the calendar could apply your date a second time to whichever one had taken its place. You would see the confirmation appear twice. The picker now closes as soon as it gives Wasp a date, and a repeat of the same date is refused outright.

The attention meter only shows what actually happened

The gauge on a task now counts messages Wasp really sent, instead of guessing from the dates.

  • Fixed

    A task due today no longer claims it has been nudged. The meter was lighting up to the level a task qualified for, so a task that had only had its morning reminder showed both "Reminder" and "Gentle nudge" lit. Now a stage lights only once Wasp has actually reached you at that level, and a task nothing has been sent about shows an empty track. What the task's dates say still sets the color and the line above it.

  • Improved

    "Why you're seeing this" is now "Why Wasp got in touch", and only appears when it did. It was never explaining why a task was in your list, it was quoting the reason attached to a real reminder or nudge. On a task nobody had been contacted about it printed a paragraph saying so, which is a section earning nothing.

Make Wasp bigger or smaller

The zoom shortcut you already use everywhere else now works here too.

  • New

    Press Cmd and plus to zoom in, Cmd and minus to zoom out, Cmd and zero to go back to normal. Ctrl on Windows and Linux. The layout re-flows at every size rather than just getting blurrier, so a bigger view still fits the window, and your choice is remembered on that machine. It works in the desktop app, where the keys previously did nothing at all.

The attention meter names its stages

The gauge on a task's detail now reads like an instrument instead of four anonymous bars.

  • Improved

    The attention meter sits in its own panel, with the ladder spelled out. What is happening leads it ("5 days overdue, and stalled"), the track sits under that, and the four stages are named beneath: Reminder, Gentle nudge, Checking in, High stakes. You can see where a task sits on the ladder and what the next step would be, without guessing what the segments mean.

Workload tells you what to change, in three lines

It was writing you four paragraphs per problem. All of it true, none of it readable at a glance.

  • Improved

    Every pattern is now a title, its numbers, and one thing to do this week. At most three of them, never more. Workload answers "what do I change"; Analytics is where you go to ask "how am I doing". Two questions, two pages, and nothing on the first that does not end in something to do.

Panels that scroll properly, and a workload read you can act on

Three things that were describing something other than what you were looking at.

  • Fixed

    Analytics, Briefing and Workload scroll inside themselves. Scrolling any of the three pushed the whole panel up past the top of the screen, so its title bar ended up stuck to the edge of the display with the content it belonged to sliding out above it. The panel now holds its shape: the header stays put and the content scrolls underneath it.

  • Fixed

    Workload no longer diagnoses you using tags you cannot see. It was naming tags, most of which arrived in an import from another app and none of which appear anywhere in Wasp. A pattern you cannot look up or act on is worse than no pattern, so the analysis is now about the shape of your weeks: what is rising, what is sustained, and what is a one-week blip.

  • Fixed

    Real logos in the Trust Center, and one row per app. Fireflies had no mark at all and Claude was showing a hand-drawn letter A. Both are the real thing now. An app you have connected more than once is also one row rather than several, showing when you last connected it, and disconnecting it disconnects it completely.

A briefing that tells you where to start, and a list that stops calling today a bad day

A briefing is only worth opening if it answers something your list cannot. This one now opens with the shape of the day and the one thing to start on, instead of a page you scroll.

  • Improved

    The Daily Briefing fits on a screen. The day arrives as a single bar showing what it is made of, overdue against due today against promises at risk, so you can see the shape of it before reading a word. Each color is a chip you click to see those items. Underneath, the first thing to do gets a card of its own and the rest of the order sits quietly below it.

  • Fixed

    A task due today is no longer filed under "Slipping". Sorting by attention put everything due today under a heading that said it was already going wrong, so a perfectly normal morning read as a day behind. Due today now has its own heading, and Slipping means only what it says: a date you have already moved.

  • Fixed

    Selecting several lines of notes looks like selected text. Dragging across lines in a task's notes drew each line as its own rounded blob. It is one continuous highlight now, the way a selection looks anywhere else.

  • Fixed

    Analytics reads properly again. Longer durations like "3h 47m" were wrapping onto two lines beside their bars, a full percentage was crowding the edge of its ring, and the range buttons scrolled out of reach on a long page. All three are fixed, and the range you pick now stays on screen while you read under it.

  • Improved

    Kept promises leave the list once the day is out. A promise you had already kept stayed in the promise block on your list forever, so a block headed "1 open" could show three lines, two of which needed nothing from you. Promises you keep today still show, because seeing what you got done is worth something. Tomorrow they move to All promises with the rest of your history.

  • Fixed

    No offer to mute someone you are hearing from for the first time. "Stop suggesting from this sender" was appearing on the very first card an address ever produced, which reads as a comment on a history that does not exist. It now waits until you have turned down at least one card from that address.

  • Fixed

    Your Mac stops trying to correct what you type. Typing a name a dictionary has never heard of, a client, a codename, a ticket reference, popped up a correction you had to dismiss before carrying on. A task list is mostly words like that, so the suggestion was wrong far more often than it was right. It is off in Wasp now. Spelling is still underlined in your notes, because an underline waits for you rather than interrupting.

  • Fixed

    The list header no longer overlaps itself in a smaller window. With the window at less than full screen, "15 open, 11 of them need attention" ran straight over the Sort, Select and New buttons. The counts now move to their own line when there is not room for both.

  • Fixed

    Notes have one line spacing throughout. A blank line in a note opened a gap noticeably wider than the space between two lines of the same sentence, so a note read as unevenly spaced. Every line now sits the same distance from the one above it, and a blank line is exactly one of them.

  • Fixed

    Wasp no longer fails to start after opening the Trust Center. Two parts of the app watching the same list of muted senders could collide and take the whole window down with a "Wasp couldn't start" message. They no longer collide, and a live-updates failure can only cost you a refresh now, never the window.

Tell Wasp to stop suggesting tasks from a noisy sender

Automated mail that lands in your inbox but was never really meant for you, ticket alerts, system notices, anything sent to a team address, was producing a steady run of cards that were never worth keeping. The problem with that is not the cards. It is that you learn to swat them away, and then the real one gets swatted too.

  • New

    Stop suggesting from this sender. Once you have turned down a card from an address, later cards from it carry the option, and there is a list of the senders you have decided about in the Trust Center, where one click undoes it. Wasp carries on reading the mailbox either way. It only stops proposing tasks from that one address.

  • New

    Wasp asks when it spots the pattern. After four suggestions from the same address that you dismissed and never added, it asks once whether to stop showing them. It never decides this on its own, and if you say keep them, it will not ask about that sender again. A card you never see is one you cannot argue with, so that choice stays yours.

  • Improved

    Mail sent to a team address has to be a clearer ask. If a message reached you through a shared alias or a group rather than being addressed to you, Wasp now needs to be more certain before raising it. A genuine request forwarded to a team inbox still comes through. "Somebody should look at this", sent to fifty people, does not.

  • Fixed

    Giving an undated task its first date no longer counts against you. A task added without a deadline, then given one, was being recorded as though you had let it slip: the attention gauge jumped a level and read "Date moved once" on a task a minute old. You cannot put off a deadline you never set. Only a date that existed and then moved later counts now, and that count feeds the model Wasp uses to judge your follow-through, so it was not just a misleading bar.

  • Fixed

    Deleting a task no longer leaves its timer running. If you deleted a task while timing it, the clock kept counting in the title bar under the label "a deleted task", and there was no way to stop it, because clicking it tried to open a task that no longer existed. The timer now stops when the task goes. The time you had already spent is kept, as it always was.

Set a date on a caught task, or say you already did it

The card that appears when Wasp spots a task in your mail could only do one thing with it: add it exactly as detected. Now it can give it a date on the spot, and it can take "I already handled that" for an answer.

  • New

    Give a caught task a date without opening anything. When Wasp spots a task, the card now offers Today, Tomorrow or a date picker, already set to whatever it worked out from the message. This matters more than it looks: a task with no date is one Wasp cannot chase, because reminders and stall detection both need a date to work from. Plenty of messages do not contain one, so those tasks were quietly landing where the engine could not reach them.

  • New

    "I already did this." If Wasp catches something you have just handled, you can now say so instead of dismissing it. The task is added and marked done in one click, so it shows up in Completed and counts toward your follow-through. Dismiss now means only one thing: that Wasp was wrong.

  • Improved

    The card's Edit button is now called More. It always opened the full editor with priority, repeat and notes, but read as though it only let you reword the title.

Calmer colors, a tidier list, and notes you can select across

Adding a task used to have three doors into two different screens: the search box added a bare title, while the New button and Cmd+N opened the full editor. Now every door opens the same box. Type, press Enter, and it is in your list. The full editor is one step inside it for the task that needs a date, a repeat or notes.

  • Improved

    The search box can now hand a task to the full editor. Start typing a task in the search box and press Shift+Enter, and it opens in the same window Cmd+N gives you, with the title already filled in, so you can set a date, a repeat or a note without retyping anything. Enter on its own still just adds it, and Cmd+N and the New button still go straight to the full window as before.

  • Improved

    The list header is one line. Your counts sit beside the view's name, and Sort, Select and New are three matching chips on the right. The sort control no longer looks like it came from the browser.

  • Fixed

    You can now drag across several lines of a task's notes. A drag that reaches into another line selects whole lines, so copy, cut and delete work on more than one at a time. Pressing Cmd+A twice selects the whole note.

  • Improved

    Red is saved for what is genuinely critical. A task a couple of days late now reads amber-orange rather than red, and the counts beside each view in the sidebar are no longer red at all. A task that is badly overdue or has stalled still gets the full red treatment, so on a busy day the one thing that really needs you stands out instead of everything shouting at once.

  • Improved

    The list is easier on the eye. Your tasks now sit on one clean background instead of three near-identical grays, the Promises strip no longer looks heavier than the tasks around it, and the small date and status text under each title is brighter in dark mode.

August 2026

Undoing a repeating task no longer leaves a copy behind

Checking off a repeating task creates the next one straight away. If you then undid that checkmark, the one it had just created stayed in your list anyway, and doing that more than once could leave several copies of the same task sitting there, each looking overdue.

  • Fixed

    Undo now removes the copy it made, not just the checkmark. If you had already done real work on that copy, undo leaves it alone.

Work with your Wasp tasks from inside Claude

Until now everything reached into Wasp from the outside. This is the first thing that works the other way round: add Wasp as a connector in Claude, and Claude can see and act on what you have already committed to, without either of you retyping it.

  • New

    Ask Claude what is open, and act on it there. Add a task, mark one done, or move a date, and it lands in Wasp the same as if you had typed it in yourself.

  • New

    You approve it once, on a Wasp screen, and you can take it back. Connecting asks you on meetwasp.com rather than anywhere else, lists exactly what is being granted, and the Trust Center keeps a one click Revoke for as long as the connection lasts.

  • New

    It reaches your tasks and nothing else. The accountability engine, your promises and everything Wasp has read stay out of reach, whatever is connected.

See what Wasp can read at a glance, not by reading a list

The Trust Center used to be a long stack of settings you had to read top to bottom. It is now a set of cards, one per thing Wasp can see, so the answer to "what does Wasp have access to" is something you can scan in a few seconds.

  • New

    A card for Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and every meeting connector. Each one names what it reads, whether it is on, and how many accounts are connected, with a real logo instead of a gray icon.

  • New

    A section for the other direction: apps that can reach Wasp. Connecting Claude to Wasp shows up here too, with exactly what it was granted and a one click Revoke.

  • Improved

    A connection that needs reconnecting looks nothing like one that was never turned on. One fades quietly, the other gets its own amber label, so a lost connection cannot be mistaken for one you chose to leave off.

  • Improved

    Managing several accounts of the same service is one click away. A card summarizes ("2 accounts connected"); opening it still gives you the same per-account disconnect, reconnect, and "add another account" controls as before.

The sign-in screen looks like Wasp now

The first screen anyone sees was a plain card on a flat field, with a typed letter W standing in for the logo. It is also the screen you land on when you connect Wasp to another app, so it was doing the worst job in the place it mattered most.

  • Improved

    The real Wasp mark, not a letter. Sign-in and the connect screen now carry the actual logo, drawn from the same file the website and the desktop app icon use.

  • Improved

    The same living background as the website. The hero atmosphere from meetwasp.com, drifting light and dithered texture both, now sits behind the card so the screen feels awake rather than empty. It holds still if your system asks for less motion, and quietly does without on any device that cannot draw it.

Wasp catches what gets agreed out loud in a meeting

Until now Wasp only noticed a commitment when you wrote it down. Half of what gets agreed happens in a call and is never typed anywhere, in both directions: what you said you would do, and what someone said they would send you.

  • New

    Connect Fireflies or Granola and your meetings feed your promises. Agree to send someone the pricing sheet by Thursday and it lands in your Promises, with their name and the date you said, the same as if you had emailed it.

  • New

    What other people agreed to give you turns up in Waiting on. If someone says on the call that they will send you the contract by Tuesday, Wasp starts watching for it, exactly as it does when they put it in an email.

  • New

    Every commitment in the meeting, not just the first one. A call that runs through four agenda items can produce four separate things, each with its own person and its own date.

  • New

    Only what is clearly yours, and only when it is clear whose it is. Wasp works out which voice in the room is you before it files anything, and stays quiet when it cannot tell. Something two colleagues agreed between themselves is theirs, and never appears as yours or as something you are owed.

  • Improved

    A promise is closed with "Done it" rather than "Sent it". A promise made in a room is often kept by a call or a conversation rather than an email, and the old wording quietly suggested the button was not for you.

Rename a task without leaving its panel, and search opens the right list

Fixing a typo in a title meant right clicking it in the list and opening Edit. And a search result due today opened the whole task list instead of today's, the one page it actually belongs on.

  • New

    Click a task's title to rename it. The detail panel's title is editable in place now. Type the new one, then press Enter or click elsewhere to save.

  • Improved

    Search opens on Today when that is where the task lives. A search result due today, or already overdue, now opens on the Today list instead of All. A task with a later date or no date still opens on All, since it shows up in more than one place there.

Click or drag anywhere on the calendar to create a block

Placing a focus block meant picking a task first. There was no way to just click the calendar itself and start something new, and a block could never say it started earlier than the moment you created it.

  • New

    Click or drag an open slot to create a block from scratch. No task needed first. Draw a block the way Google Calendar works, type what it is, and Wasp creates the task and books the time in one step.

  • New

    Drag to size any block. Press and drag to set its length, snapping to the nearest of the four standard lengths. A plain click still places a block at whichever length is currently selected.

  • Improved

    Place a block at a time that has already passed. A block used to refuse any start time before now, and the hours before now were grayed out to say so. Neither is true anymore, so a block can say when the work actually started.

  • Improved

    Every block shows when it ends, not just when it starts. A block used to read "10:15" alone. It now reads "10:15-11:15", so a glance at your day says what is happening without opening anything.

The Stalled list stops describing a button that is gone

Snoozing was removed from Wasp a couple of days ago, but the Overdue page still explained a stall as something that happens when you snooze. It was telling you a stall comes from an action you can no longer take.

  • Fixed

    The Stalled section now describes what actually causes a stall. It reads "pushed back again and again, or untouched for 5 days past due". Pushing a date later is the thing that builds a pattern, and it is the only thing you can still do that does.

Move a task to any date, and a button that says what it does

Rescheduling only offered tomorrow, three days, or next week. Anything else meant opening the task and editing a field, which is a different action from the one a right click is reaching for.

  • New

    Move date, on the task itself. The task detail pane now has a button that moves the due date, beside the one that books time. It reads Set a date on a task that has never had one. Both live there because they answer different questions: when will I do this, and when is this owed.

  • New

    Pick a date is now in the right-click Reschedule menu. Right click a task, hover Reschedule, and choose any day from a calendar alongside the three quick options. Earlier dates are allowed as well as later ones, because pulling a date forward is the one move that clears a stall.

  • Improved

    Schedule is now called Book time. That button puts a working block on your calendar. It has never changed a task's due date, but its name and its calendar icon read as though it would, so it was the first place people looked when they wanted to move a deadline. It now says what it does, and matches the wording Wasp already used when a deadline slips.

No more reminders for a deadline you just set

Adding a task due today could set off two reminders within minutes of typing it, one of them announcing that it was due tomorrow. Reminders are meant to arrive before a deadline, not seconds after you name one.

  • Fixed

    A reminder can no longer arrive for a moment that passed before the task existed. High priority tasks are reminded the day before, the morning of, and an hour before the deadline. A task added at lunchtime and due that same day had already missed the first two, and both fired on the next sweep, minutes after it was created. Those windows are now skipped, and only the reminders still ahead of you are sent.

  • Fixed

    A task due today never says it is due tomorrow. The day-before reminder always carried that wording, so when it fired late it contradicted the date on the task itself.

Your running timer, up in the menu bar

Close the desktop app and Wasp keeps running in the menu bar. Until now that was also where a running stopwatch went invisible, which is exactly when forgetting it costs you.

  • New

    The focus timer shows in the menu bar. Start a timer on a task and the clock sits beside the Wasp icon, counting, whether or not the window is open. It reads the same number the app does, so a timer that has stopped counting because it went unanswered shows as stopped in both places.

  • Improved

    The menu bar icon is sized like the rest of them. It was drawn edge to edge, so it stood a good deal taller than every other icon in the bar. It now sits in the row instead of towering over it.

  • Fixed

    A repeating task appears once in search, not once per occurrence. Searching a daily task could return two identical-looking rows, one for the day you missed and one for the next time it comes round. Search now shows a single row for the task, and it is the one that has slipped, with its date beside it.

Fix a completed date, and a faster way to search

Marking something done the morning after you actually finished it used to leave the record wrong, with nothing to correct it.

  • New

    Edit a completed task's date. Right-click a completed task for "Edit completed date", with Today, Yesterday, 2 days ago or any date you pick. It corrects your streak, your completion-by-weekday chart and your on-time rate along with it, since all three read this date.

  • Improved

    Search opens on Ctrl+F. The shortcut for search and add moved from Cmd/Ctrl+K.

Connect more than one Google account

Work and personal in one place. Wasp used to allow a single Gmail and a single calendar, so the half of your commitments living in the other account was invisible to it.

  • New

    Add a second Google account. The Trust Center now lists each connected account separately, with its own status, and an "Add another Google account" button underneath. Everything Wasp finds stays attached to the account it came from.

  • New

    Disconnect one account without losing the others. Each account has its own Disconnect, which revokes only that account's access and leaves the rest exactly as they were.

  • New

    Choose which calendar Wasp books time in. With two calendars connected, "Book time to do it" needs to know where to put the block. Pick one and it says so on the row.

  • Fixed

    Removing your Wasp account now revokes every connection. If you had connected more than one account, only the first had its access withdrawn at the provider; the rest stayed granted.

  • Fixed

    A reply is always drafted from the account that received it. Drafting could pick the wrong mailbox, putting a reply to a work thread in your personal drafts.

A task tells you what is true about it

The attention meter used to name a step on the escalation ladder, which read as a report that you had been chased even when nothing had been sent.

  • Improved

    The attention meter states the situation. It now reads "Due today", "9 days overdue" or "Stalled" instead of naming a rung, so it describes the task rather than implying an action. What Wasp actually did stays in the task's own activity list.

  • Fixed

    A task with no date is no longer treated as slipping. Undated tasks were being counted as if they were due today, so they carried a warning color and a "slipping" badge with nothing wrong with them.

  • Improved

    Every task's second line starts in the same place. The repeat symbol moved up beside the task name, so dates and status read as one clean column down the list instead of stepping in and out.

  • Improved

    A repeating task shows its run, not its row. Opening one used to say when it was "added", which was really the moment you ticked off the previous occurrence. It now shows the cadence and how many you have finished since the series began.

A smaller wordmark, out of the corner

It was being drawn in white on a near-white bar, so the top-left corner of the window simply looked empty in light mode. Fixed, and while looking at it: it was also sitting alone in the corner at full size, big enough to keep catching the eye during ordinary work.

  • Fixed

    The Wasp wordmark is legible in both themes. It now takes its color from the surface it sits on rather than being pinned to white, so it reads as ink on a light window and stays as it was on a dark one.

  • Improved

    It now sits beside the search bar, sized down to match the bug button next to it. Present, not distracting.

Finish a task and its timer saves itself

Stopping the stopwatch was a separate thing to remember, at exactly the moment you had stopped thinking about the task.

  • Improved

    Marking a task done stops its timer and keeps the time. However you finish it, from the list, the detail panel, a notification card, the catch-up sweep or another device. Dropping or skipping a task does the same, since neither is still being worked on.

  • Fixed

    A forgotten timer can no longer block the next one. Only one stopwatch runs at a time, so a timer left on a finished task used to quietly refuse to let you start timing whatever you moved on to.

  • Improved

    It still cannot vouch for time you were not there for. A timer that had already run past its check-in is saved but not counted until you say what that time really was. Finishing a task saves your work; it does not sign off on an afternoon you never confirmed.

Your list turns over at midnight now

If you left Wasp open overnight, the next morning's tasks were missing from the list until something else made it redraw. The rail counted them; the list did not show them.

  • Fixed

    Today means today, even on a window that has been open for days. The date the list is built against now moves at midnight on its own, so tasks due the new day appear the moment it arrives instead of waiting for a click, a refresh or a reopen.

  • Fixed

    The number in the rail and the page it opens always agree. They are worked out from one reading of the calendar rather than two, so a count can no longer promise rows the list does not have.

  • Improved

    The two numbers above the list no longer read as a sum. It says "24 open, 9 of them need attention", because the second number was always part of the first rather than something to add to it.

See where your hours actually went

The timer was recording your work and nothing was reading it back. Analytics now shows the shape of a week's effort next to the shape of its deadlines.

  • New

    Where your time went. The tasks you spent the most timed hours on, longest first. The one answer a stopwatch is really for, and it was the one thing Wasp could not tell you.

  • New

    Focus by weekday, beside completion by weekday. One shows when your deadlines fall, the other when the work actually happens. Read together they tend to explain each other.

  • New

    Time focused, typical session, tasks timed. Your totals for whichever range you have picked. The typical session is the median, not the average, so one long afternoon cannot describe a week of short sittings.

  • New

    How often you time your work. The share of finished tasks that had a timer on them, so you can see whether the habit is sticking. It stays hidden until you have finished enough tasks for the number to mean something.

  • Improved

    None of these totals can be inflated by a forgotten timer. Every figure counts only time you confirmed. A stopwatch left running overnight contributes the hour you vouched for, not the night.

Skip a repeat, move a date, drag the split

A handful of adjustments from a first full day of real use: a right-click menu that says what it does, a way to miss one occurrence of a repeating task without losing the rest, a split you can size yourself, and counts on every view.

  • New

    Skip one occurrence of a repeating task. A daily or weekly task that does not apply today can be skipped from the right-click menu. It closes this one without counting it as done, and the next one arrives exactly when it always would have - tomorrow for a daily task, the same day next week for a weekly one. It costs you nothing in your follow-through record, because you decided it rather than let it slip.

  • Improved

    Snooze is gone, replaced by Reschedule. Snoozing looked harmless and was not: the task stayed in every list exactly as before, while Wasp quietly stopped chasing it. Nothing about it was visible, including the part that mattered. Right-click now offers Reschedule instead, which moves the due date and names the day it lands on: Tomorrow, In 3 days, Same day next week. Anything already snoozed comes back on its own.

  • Improved

    Wasp opens on Today, and the sidebar reads in order of urgency. Today, Coming up, Overdue, No date, then All and Completed. All used to sit at the top, which is not the question you open Wasp to answer.

  • New

    Drag the line between your list and a task's details. Pull it left for a long set of notes, right for a wider list. Wasp remembers the width on that device; double-click the line to put it back.

  • Improved

    Every view in the sidebar carries its count. All, Coming up and No date were blank before, so only Today and Overdue told you how much was in them.

  • Improved

    Undoing a completed task plays the tick backwards. Press Undo and the gap reopens where the task was, it fades back in still struck through, and the line lifts. It used to just reappear.

  • Fixed

    Task subtitles start with a capital letter. "tomorrow", "due today" and "was due Aug 1" read as typos under a task's name.

  • Fixed

    The stray C and S letters on the task buttons are gone. They sat inside the buttons looking like something to press. The shortcuts behind them have gone too: completing a task is one click on a circle that is always on screen.

The floating prompt card reads properly

The card that appears at the top right when Wasp catches something, or chases something, was losing its right edge and letting the page show through it.

  • Fixed

    Detected-task and check-in cards draw their full width. The card sat fourteen pixels past the edge of the window it floats in, so its border and rounded corner were sliced away. It now sits inside, with the corner intact.

  • Improved

    The card no longer shows what is behind it. It floats over the task detail pane, and the heading and buttons underneath were reading through the frosted glass. It is close to solid now, so the thing Wasp is asking you about is the only thing you read.

System banners read clearly in light mode

The bold lead-in on the update, reconnect and trial banners was set in a fixed white, so in light mode it went pale on pale instead of standing out.

  • Fixed

    The bold text in Wasp's banners is legible in light mode. "A new version of Wasp is ready," "Wasp can no longer read...," and the trial-countdown banners now use the same text color as the rest of the app, so the part meant to stand out no longer disappears into the background.

Time how long a task actually takes

A stopwatch on any task, a running clock you cannot lose track of, an hourly check-in that keeps the number honest, and a timer left going overnight that owns up to it instead of quietly claiming the whole night.

  • New

    Start a timer on any task. A Start timer button sits beside Complete, Snooze and Schedule. Press it when you begin, press it again when you stop, and the task keeps a running total of the time you have put into it.

  • New

    The running clock follows you around the app. A live timer shows in the title bar on every screen, not only on the task it belongs to, so a stopwatch you started an hour ago cannot quietly keep running out of sight. Click it to jump straight back to the task.

  • New

    Wasp checks in after an hour, so the number stays right. An hour into a timer, the title bar asks whether you are still working, with Yes and No, I stopped. Answer and the clock carries on. If Wasp is behind another window it will send you a notification instead, which you can switch off in Settings.

  • New

    A timer you forgot about asks instead of guessing. Leave one running overnight and Wasp will not tell you that you focused for nineteen hours. The clock stops counting time nobody confirmed, and next time you open Wasp it shows you both numbers and asks which one was real. One tap either way.

See what you have actually finished

A completed task used to disappear entirely, except as a number on the Analytics page. Now there is somewhere to find it.

  • New

    A Completed view, grouped by day. Today opens up automatically, earlier days sit collapsed until you want them, and the header tells you straight away how many you finished today.

  • New

    Opened a task by mistake, or marking it done was premature? A completed task now offers Reopen, which puts it straight back in your working list.

A quick way to flag something that is not working

Found something wrong? Say so without leaving what you were doing.

  • New

    Report a bug, right beside search. One box, one submit, nothing to fill in yourself: the page you were on comes along automatically. It sits next to the search bar, where you are already looking, not tucked in a corner or buried in Settings.

Typing in a dialog stays in the box you are typing in

Naming a new task could lose everything after the first letter. Fixed everywhere a dialog appears.

  • Fixed

    Your cursor no longer jumps to the close button mid-word. Typing the first character of a task name moved focus to the X in the corner, so the rest of what you typed went nowhere. Every dialog in Wasp shared the same fault, and all of them are fixed.

Overdue and Stalled become one page

They started as two sidebar views doing near-identical jobs, and at a glance nothing said which was which. Now there is one place for everything past its date.

  • Improved

    One Overdue view, two sections. Stalled sits on top, because a pattern is more pressing than a date, with everything else below. A line under each heading says exactly what puts a task there, so the two never read as the same pile twice.

  • Improved

    The note at the foot now covers the part worth knowing: what clears a stall. Finishing the task, dropping it, a real edit, or pulling the date earlier. Pushing the date further out does not.

  • Improved

    Asking Wasp to show your stalled tasks still works everywhere it used to: it opens Overdue with the Stalled section right at the top.

Notes that show you what they can do

The notes box could already do headings, lists and to-dos, and looked like a plain text field, so the good parts went unfound. Now it tells you, and it takes whatever size you want to write in.

  • New

    Pull the notes area to the size you want. A small handle under the box drags it taller or shorter, in the side panel and in the New task window alike. Wasp remembers your size; double-click the handle to go back to fitting the text.

  • New

    Shortcuts you already know. Start a line with "- " for a list, "# " for a heading, "[]" for a to-do, or type "---" for a divider, exactly as they work everywhere else. The / menu is still there for the same things.

  • Improved

    While you write, one quiet line under the box reminds you what the editor can do, and the empty box now says it plainly instead of pointing you at "commands".

  • Improved

    In the New task window, the Add and Cancel buttons stay in reach however tall you make the notes: the fields scroll, the buttons do not.

  • Fixed

    In the right-click menu, the priority labels sat pushed against the far edge, away from their color rings. Each label now sits beside its ring, with the tick for the current choice on the right.

See what is coming, not just what is late

The left-hand list could tell you what was due today and what you had missed, and nothing at all about next week. Two new views fix that, and a third thing you own finally becomes visible.

  • New

    Coming up. Everything dated but not due yet, for the next 30 days, split into Tomorrow, Rest of this week, and Later this month. It stops at a month on purpose: past that it stops being a plan and starts being an archive.

  • New

    No date. Tasks you captured but never scheduled. They were invisible to every other view and buried in All, which is how a backlog goes quiet without anyone deciding it should.

  • Improved

    Stalled now sits inside Overdue rather than beside it, because that is what it is: the overdue things you also keep snoozing or pushing back. A short note at the foot of the list explains exactly what puts a task there and what takes it out again.

  • Improved

    Each view remembers how you sorted it. Opening a date view no longer re-sorts the rest of the app behind you.

Repeat on the days you actually do it

Until now a repeating task could only run on one rhythm from one date, so the gym on Tuesdays and Fridays had to be two separate tasks. Now it is one.

  • New

    Every weekday. A one-click cadence for the things you do Monday to Friday. Complete Friday's and the next one lands on Monday, not Saturday.

  • New

    Pick your own days. Choose any combination: Tuesday and Friday, weekends only, four days out of seven. The task tells you what it will do in plain words before you save it.

  • Improved

    Leave one of these untouched for a month and it still comes back once, on its next real day, instead of arriving as a pile of missed ones.

Buttons that say what they do

The card that chases you had two buttons that sounded the same and did opposite things, and two more that never said what they changed. All four are rewritten.

  • Improved

    "Renegotiate" is now "Move the date" and "Schedule a block" is now "Book time to do it", because one changes when a task is late and the other puts the work on your calendar, and nothing on the old card told you which was which.

  • Improved

    "Dismiss" and "Drop" no longer sit side by side. Closing the card for now is the X in its corner. Dropping the task is the only thing left at the bottom, on its own, in red.

  • Improved

    The three ways out are equal-sized buttons in a deliberate order: mark it done, book time for it, then move the date. Each one opens its options directly underneath itself instead of above.

  • New

    Moving a date from the card can now pick any day, not just tomorrow, three days or next week.

  • Improved

    The label on the most serious cards read "Naming stakes", which is how the engine describes its own technique rather than anything useful to you. It now reads "High stakes".

Come back to a plan, not a pile

Take a day off and Wasp meets you with one card and one pass, instead of a list of slipped dates to re-plan by hand.

  • New

    Catch-up. Open Wasp after a day away and a calm card counts what slipped while you were gone. One tap opens a pop-up with every slipped task and a one-tap choice per row: today, tomorrow, pick a date, already done, or drop it.

  • New

    Whatever you don't want to decide one by one, sweep: everything left to today, to tomorrow, or spread over the week. Spread puts things on the days with the least already on them, not all on tomorrow.

  • New

    A task you promised to someone stays out of the sweep. It gets its own moment, and picking a new date also offers a drafted update so the other person hears about the change from you.

  • Improved

    Re-planning from the catch-up also answers any reminders waiting about the same tasks, so you are never nagged about a thing you just rescheduled.

When Wasp goes quiet, it says so

A connection that has stopped working used to look exactly like a quiet week. Now it tells you, wherever you are.

  • New

    You get told when a connection drops. If Wasp loses access to Gmail, Calendar or Slack, it reaches you the same way it reaches you about anything else, instead of waiting for you to open the app and notice. Tapping the notification takes you straight to the reconnect button.

  • New

    A bar across the top of the app names what has been lost and reconnects it in one click. It disappears by itself the moment the connection is back.

  • Fixed

    The only sign a connection had dropped was a small number on the sidebar, which is unreadable in the exact situation it exists for: nothing is arriving, so nothing draws you into the app to see it.

The dates that cost you

Passports, visas, licenses and tenancies now get their own countdown, because forgetting one of those is a different kind of expensive.

  • New

    Key dates. Add the expiry date printed on a document and pick how long the renewal takes to start. Wasp works backwards from it and starts chasing you while there is still time to act, not the week it runs out. Nothing is uploaded: you pick a type, type a name and type a date.

  • New

    A view of everything you track, sorted by how much runway is left. Documents with months to go stay quiet and out of your task list; one that needs starting joins the list like any other job, with the full engine behind it.

  • New

    Marking one renewed asks what the new document says and starts the next countdown from there, so a passport you replace this year is already being watched for the year it runs out.

  • Improved

    Wasp holds the date you enter and chases you about it. It never checks it with any authority and never tells you your paperwork is in order, which is now written into the terms and the privacy policy. It stores a date and a name you choose, never a document number or a scan.

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 traveling."

  • 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 behavior.

  • 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 recognizes 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. Color 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.
