Release Notes what's new in MyPlate
Update a saved filter, don’t just make a new one 🔖
Saving your favorite task views just got tidier. When you tap Save filter, you can now update one of your existing saved filters instead of always creating a brand new one.
- Keep Create a new filter selected to save a fresh one, exactly like before.
- Or pick an existing filter from the new Save to menu to refresh it with whatever filtering and sorting you have on screen — it keeps its name and its place in your Filters menu.
No more piling up near-duplicate filters just to tweak one.
A handy actions menu on every task ☰
Your task lists just grew a little menu — tap the ⋮ beside any task and you can act on it right where it sits, no need to open it first.
- Complete a task (or Reopen it) in one tap.
- Duplicate a task — brand new! It makes a full copy, carrying over the details, your custom fields, attached files, notes, and who it’s shared with. (Time-tracking entries stay with the original.)
- Delete a task without leaving the list.
The menu tucks itself away until you need it, so your lists stay clean — and it’s a comfy home for more shortcuts down the road.
Changed your mind? Undelete your tasks ↺
Deleting a task is no longer the end of the story.
- Deleting is now undoable. When you delete a task you’ll see an Undo right on the confirmation — one click and it’s back, just like marking a task complete.
- A safety net for 30 days. Changed your mind later? Head to My Account › Recently Deleted Tasks, where every task you’ve deleted waits for you with a one-click Restore button.
- You can see the clock ticking. Each deleted task shows how long until it’s removed for good, so nothing disappears as a surprise.
- Want it gone now? You can also permanently delete a task on the spot — we’ll make very sure you mean it first.
Delete with confidence — your tasks have a way back.
Sort by more than one thing at once ⇵
Sorting your tasks just got a lot smarter — and you barely have to do anything.
- Stack your sorts. Want tasks ordered by priority, and then by due date within each priority? Now you can. Order by as many columns as you like.
- Just click your columns. Click a column heading to sort by it, then click another — the new one leads and the previous one becomes the tie-breaker. Little numbers on the headings show the order. No special mode to turn on.
- Fine-tune by hand. Open Sort to drag your rules into the perfect order, flip any of them between ascending and descending, or clear them all in one click.
- Save it for later. Your multi-column sort travels with your saved filters, so a favourite view is always one click away.
Click around — you’ll be multi-sorting before you even notice.
Tighter security & abuse protection 🔒
We’ve added new safeguards behind the scenes to keep your account — and the service — safe.
- Smarter abuse protection. MyPlate now automatically slows down suspicious bursts of traffic, so the app stays fast and available for everyone.
- Hardened sign-in. Repeated failed logins, password-reset requests, and sign-up attempts are now rate-limited to protect your account from automated guessing.
You won’t notice any difference in normal use — this all happens quietly in the background.
Meet the MyPlate API 🚀
MyPlate now has a REST API, so you can connect it to your own tools and automate the busywork.
- Your own API keys. Head to API Keys in your account menu to create a personal key. Each key acts as you — it can see and do exactly what you can, including your team tasks.
- Built on the standards you know. Plain JSON over HTTPS, with a bearer token in the
Authorizationheader. - Interactive documentation. Explore every endpoint and copy ready-to-run code in your language of choice — more on that soon.
Whether you live in spreadsheets, scripts, or your company’s own systems, MyPlate can now plug right in.
Put your fields in the perfect order ⇅
Arranging your custom fields just got a whole lot friendlier. Say goodbye to typing little sort numbers — now you simply drag and drop.
- Reorder fields by hand. On the Fields page, grab a field by its handle and drag it up or down. The new order saves on its own.
- Reorder a field’s options too. Editing a field? Drag its options into exactly the order you want them to appear.
- It just sticks. Your arrangement is remembered automatically — no Save button to hunt for.
Less fiddling with numbers, more arranging things the way that makes sense to you.
Stay ahead of every deadline ⏳
Your Dashboard now opens with the one thing you don’t want to miss: a Due soon & overdue card that gathers everything coming due — or already past due — into a single, sorted list.
- Everything in one place. It looks across all your work at once — personal tasks, tasks shared with you, and every team you’re on.
- The next three days, at a glance. Anything past its due date or due within the next three days shows up, with the most urgent first.
- Clear at a glance. Each item is tagged Overdue or Due soon, so you always know what needs you right now.
Less hunting, fewer surprises — just open MyPlate and see what’s next.
