NocoBase vs Super Productivity: at a glance
What is NocoBase?
NocoBase's Runner Agent gets conversation management, task links and agent switching mid-thread.
NocoBase ships two beta trains a day, and the latest center on its agent layer and on demo deployments. Beta 10-28.1 lets users manage Runner Agent conversations with task links, queued messages and usage, and swap agents without losing history; it also adds inline form validation and duplicate-submission protection to app templates. Beta 10-28.2 tightens demo mode so shared demo apps block requests with external effects.
What is Super Productivity?
The device-surface push pauses; 18.21.2 repairs behind it and opens an Android URL scheme.
v18.21.2 follows the 18.21.0/18.21.1 pair with a patch weighted to repair: legacy data missing newer model sections is migrated, reminders no longer block overdue repeating-task cleanup, touch swipes stop moving schedule events, and the iOS add-task bar no longer jumps when the keyboard layout changes. Sync repair reliability and privacy handling are both tightened, and SuperSync gets processing and maintenance work on older operations. The three additions are small and surface-level: the currently tracked task now shows in the browser tab title, Android gains URL-scheme task actions, and the Turkish translation is refreshed.

NocoBase
8.8PM
NocoBase's Runner Agent gets conversation management, task links and agent switching mid-thread.
◆ Current state
NocoBase ships two beta trains a day, and the latest center on its agent layer and on demo deployments. Beta 10-28.1 lets users manage Runner Agent conversations with task links, queued messages and usage, and swap agents without losing history; it also adds inline form validation and duplicate-submission protection to app templates. Beta 10-28.2 tightens demo mode so shared demo apps block requests with external effects.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is being rebuilt as an app-template and agent product on a 3.0 server line: agents can develop app-local plugins, run conversations tied to tasks, and operate inside templated apps with release management. Each beta also publishes a cluster of package tags, so the feed is dense but the substance sits in the dated release notes.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Runner Agent and app-template work to keep landing in daily betas until app-server 3.0 leaves beta; a stable 3.0 announcement is the likely next large step.
The device-surface push pauses; 18.21.2 repairs behind it and opens an Android URL scheme.
◆ Current state
v18.21.2 follows the 18.21.0/18.21.1 pair with a patch weighted to repair: legacy data missing newer model sections is migrated, reminders no longer block overdue repeating-task cleanup, touch swipes stop moving schedule events, and the iOS add-task bar no longer jumps when the keyboard layout changes. Sync repair reliability and privacy handling are both tightened, and SuperSync gets processing and maintenance work on older operations. The three additions are small and surface-level: the currently tracked task now shows in the browser tab title, Android gains URL-scheme task actions, and the Turkish translation is refreshed.
◆ Where it's heading
The 18.21 line is settling. After the device list, remote sign-out and opt-in presence arrived in quick succession, this patch spends its effort on the consequences of that push rather than extending it, migrating older data forward and keeping aged sync operations maintained. The one outward move is addressability: URL-scheme actions on Android join the token-guarded local REST API and the plugin OAuth hooks as another documented way to reach the app from outside it.
◆ Prediction
With the device surface shipped and this patch cleaning up behind it, per-device detail such as last-seen times or selective reset remains the open item in the SuperSync account surface. The Android URL scheme follows the same outward pattern as the local API and the plugin hooks, so a wider action list is the natural next step there.
