Release Notes what's new in MyPlate

We’ve strengthened the security of our sign-up page.

• A quick human check when you create an account. A lightweight, privacy-friendly verification now runs on the sign-up form to keep automated spam accounts out. Most people won’t have to do anything — it usually happens automatically in the background.

The result: fewer junk accounts and a safer, cleaner MyPlate for real members.

MyPlate can now tap you on the shoulder at just the right moment.

• Task reminders. Open any task and add as many reminders as you like — each one fires at the time you pick, in your timezone, by email, push notification, or both.
• Push notifications. Get real notifications on your phone or computer, just like a native app. Turn them on under My Account > Push Notifications. On iPhone or iPad, first add MyPlate to your Home Screen (Share → Add to Home Screen), then enable notifications from inside the app.
• Everywhere you work. Reminders are also in the MyPlate API and available to your connected AI assistants.

Never let a task sneak past you again. ⏰

Sharing a task just got quicker.

• Suggestions as you type. The “Share with (email)” box now offers people you’re already connected to — anyone you’ve shared a task with, anyone who’s shared one with you, and your teammates.
• Pick or type. Filter the list as you type and choose with a click or the arrow keys — or just type any email address, exactly as before.
• No more unhelpful autofill. Your browser will no longer try to fill in its own saved addresses (like your own) there.

See Sharing tasks in the Help Center for details.

This morning’s Power Search now works outside the app too.

• In the API. A new GET /v1/search endpoint runs the same fuzzy, relevance-ranked search across every task your key can see — titles, descriptions, notes, file names, and people — in one call. Full details in the API reference.
• In your AI assistant. Assistants connected over MCP get a new search_tasks tool, so you can just ask: “Find that task about the invoice” or “What am I working on with Mike?” — typos and nicknames included.
• Same results everywhere. The header search box, the API, and your assistant all share one engine, so they always agree.

There’s a new search box in the header, and it looks everywhere.

• One search, all your tasks. Personal tasks, tasks shared with you, and your team tasks come back in a single relevance-ranked list.
• It reads the whole task. Titles, descriptions, notes, attached file names — even the names of the people a task is assigned to or shared with.
• Close counts. Typos and partial words still match, and common nicknames are understood — searching for “Mike” finds tasks involving “Michael”.
• Best matches first. Results are scored, with title hits ranked above matches buried in notes or files, and your search words highlighted.

See Power Search in the Help Center for tips.

Your AI assistant can now connect to MyPlate directly from its own settings — no API key copy-pasting needed.

• Works where you chat. Add MyPlate as a custom connector in the Claude apps (web, desktop, and mobile) or in ChatGPT, and it’s available in every conversation.
• Sign in, approve, done. Connecting uses the industry-standard OAuth flow: you log in to MyPlate, review what the assistant will be able to do, and approve.
• You stay in control. Each connection shows up on your API Keys page, where you can revoke it at any time.

See Connect AI assistants in the Help Center for setup steps.

MyPlate now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude work with your tasks in plain language.

• Ask about your plate. “What’s due this week?” “What am I forgetting?”
• Get things done by talking. Create and update tasks, add notes, set your custom fields, and share tasks — all conversationally.
• Track time hands-free. Start and stop timers and total up your week without leaving the chat.
• Safe by design. The assistant connects with one of your API keys, sees only what you can see, and every action is logged. Revoke the key any time.

See Connect AI assistants in the Help Center to get set up.

A small fix for time tracking: when you convert a personal task into a team task, its time entries now move with it into that team’s workspace.

Before, older entries could stay stuck under My Tasks even after the task had joined a team — so your Timer Entries filters and totals now line up with where the task actually lives.

Team task lists now have an Assignee filter, right next to the other filters.

• See one person’s plate. Pick a teammate and the list narrows to just the tasks assigned to them.
• Find unclaimed work. Choose Unassigned to surface tasks nobody has picked up yet.
• Plays nicely with everything else. Combine it with your other filters and sorting, and it’s captured in saved filter presets just like the rest.

Editing a task just got safer and faster — no more losing a carefully written description to a closed tab.

• The title and description now auto-save while you type. Pause for a moment (or click away from the field) and your changes are quietly saved. Watch the little cloud on the Save button: it spins while saving and returns to a cloud when your work is safe, and the time of the last auto-save slides into view beside the buttons. If something goes wrong, you’ll see a warning instead.
• Notes post instantly. Start typing in the note box and an Add Note button appears; click it and your note joins the conversation right away — no page reload, and nothing else you were editing is disturbed.
• Scheduling and assignment save themselves too. Change the Due or Delay Until date (or tap a delay quick button), or reassign a team task’s Assignee or Manager, and the change is saved on the spot — same little cloud, same status line.

The Save button still works exactly as before for everything else — dates, custom fields, and the rest.
