What is Ever Teams?

Ever Teams shipped ten tags in twelve hours and one of them touched the product

The window is ten releases published between 01:06 and 12:54 on a single day, and nine of them are continuous-integration work: runners migrated to self-hosted ARC, dead ubicloud labels replaced, the DigitalOcean deploy gated behind a flag, actions bumped to Node 24, a desktop cache bounded after it grew to 9.5 GB. The one product change is v0.133.58, which drops four unread relations from the team-wide daily-plan fetch. Several tags carry no changelog at all beyond a compare link.

What is NotePlan?

NotePlan keeps opening its notebook to outside writers: plugins, MCP agents, now Apple Reminders.

NotePlan ships on two tracks: the main 3.2x app and Memo AI, a separate voice-capture product launched in April. Recent main-app work is integration and platform depth — community plugins, an MCP server that lets AI agents edit notes and manage tasks, Claude and MCP permission handling on Mac, and now a two-way Apple Reminders sync in beta. Memo AI has been iterating on transcription efficiency and device reach.

Ever Teams vs NotePlan: editorial side-by-side

E5.0

Ever Teams shipped ten tags in twelve hours and one of them touched the product

◆ Current state

The window is ten releases published between 01:06 and 12:54 on a single day, and nine of them are continuous-integration work: runners migrated to self-hosted ARC, dead ubicloud labels replaced, the DigitalOcean deploy gated behind a flag, actions bumped to Node 24, a desktop cache bounded after it grew to 9.5 GB. The one product change is v0.133.58, which drops four unread relations from the team-wide daily-plan fetch. Several tags carry no changelog at all beyond a compare link.

◆ Where it's heading

The release train is fully automated and fires on every merge, so tag count says nothing about progress here — the same CI changelog is restated verbatim across multiple tags minutes apart. What work is visible points at build infrastructure being rebuilt around self-hosted runners rather than at the application.

◆ Prediction

Until the runner migration settles, expect the tag stream to stay dominated by CI commits, with product changes appearing as occasional query-cost fixes like the daily-plan one.

N2.5

NotePlan keeps opening its notebook to outside writers: plugins, MCP agents, now Apple Reminders.

◆ Current state

NotePlan ships on two tracks: the main 3.2x app and Memo AI, a separate voice-capture product launched in April. Recent main-app work is integration and platform depth — community plugins, an MCP server that lets AI agents edit notes and manage tasks, Claude and MCP permission handling on Mac, and now a two-way Apple Reminders sync in beta. Memo AI has been iterating on transcription efficiency and device reach.

◆ Where it's heading

The through-line is turning NotePlan into a surface other software writes into rather than a closed notebook. Plugins became installable on iOS and then opened to the community, the MCP server gave agents write access to notes and tasks, and the Apple Reminders integration now syncs in both directions instead of importing one way. Memo AI runs alongside as a capture front end feeding the same note store. Cadence is steady at roughly monthly across the two products.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Apple Reminders integration to leave beta with broader filter and board coverage, and Memo AI to keep iterating on transcription. Deeper agent access through MCP remains the likelier place for the next directional move.
