• Set up the loop. A checklist on Home that ticks itself off as you connect Jira or Linear, sync a project, connect GitHub, add the extension, invite your team and see your first ticket move. See Getting started.
• Inbox by kind. Ticket updates, Tasks (grouped by meeting or document), Code, Projects and History tabs; Accept all for ticket updates; short View PR links instead of raw URLs; pending cards expire after 14 days.
• Fewer, real suggestions. Tasks only come from explicit asks and commitments, and each one quotes the words it came from. A spec or PRD no longer floods the Inbox.
• GitHub fixes, found on a real repo. Merges seen by polling now close tickets; polling no longer skips events (GitHub's event ids aren't in time order); polled PRs arrive with their title; ticket comments read Merged pull request #4: title with a link.
• Jira fixes. Sync works on brand-new Jira sites, and descriptions come through as readable text.
• Coding agents. Commits Claude Code or Codex make themselves now move tickets (Align for Mac). Anything an AI app writes over MCP is credited, e.g. Co-authored by Claude.
• Phone dock. The app switcher magnifies under your finger like the Mac dock; slide and lift to switch apps.
• Website. A new share image for the loop; the try-it reads like a teammate (blockers become tickets).
• The loop. Align now runs the work around the code: a meeting or call becomes tasks per person, tasks sync with Jira or Linear, code moves the tickets, and the standup writes itself.
• Jira and Linear, both ways. Sync a Plans project with a Jira project or Linear team. Title, description, status, assignee, priority, due date and comments flow both ways within seconds. See Plans.
• Inbox with ticket updates. After a meeting, call or push, each person gets new tasks and updates to tickets already in flight, with Undo and an opt-in Auto-move my own tickets.
• GitHub moves tickets. A branch starts work, a PR puts it in review, a merge marks it done, through each person's GitHub login or the Align GitHub App.
• Standup. A new team Standup page in Plans and a card on Home. Done says what the work achieved, written from commit messages, PRs and tickets, not commit counts; Today and Blocked come from your tickets and meetings. Edit it into your own words. See Standup.
• Meeting prep: Since last time. Ticket moves, merged PRs and new blockers since the last related meeting, plus everyone's standup for standup meetings.
• Extension 0.4.3. A Prep tab before you press Start that follows the meeting type: everyone's standup for a standup, and for any other meeting a brief from the invite's title, description, attendees and linked Align Pages. After the call: N tasks + M ticket updates ready · Review in Plans. See Browser extension.
• MCP write tools. Coding agents can read, update, comment on and create tickets, and ask for my_standup. See MCP server.
• Pricing. Per person: Free runs the whole loop for up to 5 people with one tracker; Team and Business add both trackers and every connector.
• Website. A new landing page about the loop, with a free try-it: say or type one standup line and see the tickets Align would make.

• Align for Mac. The Companion now lives in your notch, with six tabs: For you, Now, Promises, Messages, Calendar and Desk. New: Promises (what you owe, from mail, Slack and Work), Messages (Slack asks and Align Chat with avatars), a Calendar week view with Join, volume and battery readouts, music from any app with opt-in synced lyrics, a file shelf with Save to Pages, and clipboard history.
• One tap into Align. Turn any item into Work or a Decision, offer to log a commit in Work after Commit & push, Create all from a finished meeting, and a morning Your day card.
• Coding agents. Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity sessions, Allow/Deny from the notch, and a commit-and-push card that now finds files edited in any folder.
• Fixes. Gmail thread links open the right account; promises are de-duplicated and old ones counted instead of listed; meeting prep also covers a meeting that just started and mentions what you owe the attendees; Hide Notch in the menu-bar menus.
• Onboarding. A minimal white welcome and first-run flow.
• Website. The /mac page shows the real app, with a bento of the tabs and a how-to-set-up timeline.
• Docs. Companion & Align for Mac rewritten for the notch app.
• Share links that open. Sharing a file from the notch now gives a link anyone can open, showing the file itself with a Download button. Save to Pages stays private.
• Move the ticket after a push. After a commit, Align finds the Jira, Linear or Plans ticket the work belongs to, even when the branch doesn't name it, and offers its next workflow step. Not this ticket is remembered.
• Follow-ups both ways. Promises is now Follow-ups, with Waiting on (work you gave someone, your asks in Slack and mail, or added from the notch) and You owe. When the person shares a file in Chat, Slack or Pages, the notch asks if it's what you were waiting for.
