What is Notesnook?

Notesnook ships steady 3.4.x patches across desktop and Android with the notes kept off-feed.

The release feed is a rolling stream of 3.4.x point releases alternating between desktop and Android, roughly weekly. Every entry is a version tag with a one-line pointer to the blog and a compare link, so nothing about the actual changes is visible in the feed itself.

What is Tability?

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

Notesnook vs Tability: editorial side-by-side

N5.0

Notesnook ships steady 3.4.x patches across desktop and Android with the notes kept off-feed.

◆ Current state

The release feed is a rolling stream of 3.4.x point releases alternating between desktop and Android, roughly weekly. Every entry is a version tag with a one-line pointer to the blog and a compare link, so nothing about the actual changes is visible in the feed itself.

◆ Where it's heading

This is maintenance-phase cadence: no minor version bump across the whole visible window, no announcement-shaped entries, and platform releases interleaved rather than coordinated. Direction cannot be read from these notes — the feed is a build log, and any substantive change is being communicated elsewhere.

◆ Prediction

Expect the 3.4.x patch stream to continue on both platforms at the same interval; the feed will not indicate a larger release until a minor version bump appears.

T7.5

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

◆ Current state

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

◆ Where it's heading

The two tracks are converging, and the sequencing tells the story. Delegating goals to AI agents shipped first; the releases since have been building the structure those agents need to reason over — who reports to whom, what depends on what, which slice of a busy workspace a question is actually about. Overflow controls on large maps and a refreshed Initiatives view point at customers with enough plans and people for readability to become the constraint, which is a different buyer than the small-team OKR tool this category started as. Import friction is being attacked from the same direction: an AI-assisted path out of spreadsheets, with review gates before anything is created.

◆ Prediction

Expect the agent features to start consuming the graph the recent releases exposed — dependency-aware and reporting-line-aware agent actions rather than per-goal delegation — and the scheduled-prompt mechanism behind executive summaries to widen into other recurring outputs.
