What is SmartSuite?
SmartSuite adds a scheduled JavaScript runtime with secrets and run history.
SmartSuite is a no-code work management platform that is adding developer and agent surfaces. Script Engine, a new admin page, lets workspaces write, schedule and monitor JavaScript with memory and timeout limits, secrets by reference and per-run history. It builds on Managed Secrets, released two weeks earlier, and the hosted MCP server from early October.
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.
SmartSuite vs Super Productivity: editorial side-by-side
SmartSuite adds a scheduled JavaScript runtime with secrets and run history.
◆ Current state
SmartSuite is a no-code work management platform that is adding developer and agent surfaces. Script Engine, a new admin page, lets workspaces write, schedule and monitor JavaScript with memory and timeout limits, secrets by reference and per-run history. It builds on Managed Secrets, released two weeks earlier, and the hosted MCP server from early October.
◆ Where it's heading
SmartSuite is becoming programmable on three fronts: a hosted MCP server for agents, managed secrets, and now a scheduled code runtime. Together they let teams run integrations inside the platform instead of in Zapier or external cron jobs. Mobile dashboard parity and admin recovery tools continue alongside.
◆ Prediction
Expect scripts to gain record-event triggers beyond schedules, and links between Script Engine and the automation builder.

◆ 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.

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.
