I am excited to roll out a set of powerful updates and fixes designed to make your project management experience smoother and more efficient.

Rich Text Editor for Task Descriptions

Add more clarity and context to your work! You can now format your task descriptions with bold, italics, lists, links, and more, making it easier to organize detailed information, add instructions, or highlight key points for your team.

Timer Stop Reminder

Never leave a timer running longer than it should! Astravue now reminds you to stop your timer when your task ends  or extend it seamlessly if the work continues beyond the planned limit

Project Space Admin Controls (for Public Projects)

When a Space is created, admins can now decide whether all Space Admins should automatically become Project Admins for public projects within that space.

This gives organizations the power to define governance upfront  ensuring the right people have the right level of access from the start.

Improved Mobile Responsiveness

We’re continuing our efforts to make Astravue shine across all devices. Several mobile screens have been optimized for smoother navigation and better usability, with more improvements on the way.

Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

We’ve resolved multiple issues identified internally and reported by our community. Expect smoother performance, faster load times, and an even more reliable experience across modules.

Simplify teamwork.

Next major one is IOS

We’re excited to roll out two key updates designed to make your workflow smoother and more transparent.

🕒 Global Timer

You can now start and log time effortlessly without diving into task details. The pause option lets you manage breaks easily, while the auto-stop feature ensures the timer ends at the preset time in your preferences helping maintain accurate time logs and eliminating client billing discrepancies.

🔒 Private Tasks

You can now mark tasks as private, keeping them visible only to your internal team. Guest users won’t see these tasks, ensuring confidentiality while maintaining overall project transparency.

Additionally, several issues related to subtasks and guest access have been resolved in this update.

🔧 What’s Coming Next

We’re revamping the task description editor with richer formatting options, introducing reminder alerts for running timers, and refining notification preferences  all to help you stay more organized and precise.

As always, we continue to do our best to help businesses deliver projects on time — with transparency, privacy, and a stronger connection between your brand and your customers.

A Quick Note

Our iOS app submission was held due to missing Apple Sign-in. The team is already on it — expect an updated version soon! Meanwhile, the Android app bug fixes are in progress and will roll out in the next few days.

Coming Soon

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s next on our roadmap:

• Rename Org Space and add your own icons
• Clickable Kanban Boards for smoother navigation
• Task Import for easy onboarding
• Guest Role Enhancements for better collaboration
• Task Reminder Improvements for stronger follow-ups
• Global Timer Display and Timesheet Reports for deeper time insights

Every update takes us one step closer to making Astravue your everyday productivity hub.

Stay tuned. The best is yet to come. 

I’ll be honest with you all. This one has been a long time coming.

We committed to Google Calendar integration quite a while back, and I’m happy to share that it’s finally here! 

Along the way, I misjudged a few technical complexities. It’s been a learning experience, and I’m now more careful with committed timelines for new features and enhancements. That said, we’re making steady progress. iCal sync, our iOS app, and chat are already in motion and should be available within the next 3 weeks.

Major Feature

Google Calendar Integration Astravue now integrates with Google Calendar so you can manage tasks and schedules in one place.

Enhancements

• Sorting feature – Improved sorting for easier task and project organization.

Issues Fixed

• Billable vs. Non-billable UI – Minor UI alignment issue fixed.
• Project dashboard (two-column) – Sync issue between columns resolved.
• Space active summary – Fixed system freeze when clicking on total task label.
• Forgotten password – Customer-reported reset issue resolved.
• Hide space icon – Visibility issue fixed.
• Task duplication – Subtask owner duplication issue resolved.

Note: Google finally approved the app. Should be there in 2-3 days from now.

IOS app already started.  Same for ical. So, both should be available  in less than 3 weeks of time

Ramesh

Last week, around 50% of the team focused on monitoring stability and addressing bugs reported after the release. The rest continued work on upcoming features like calendar integration, the mobile app, and task sorting/reordering, targeted for next week (around Aug 23rd).

Here are this week’s bug fixes:

Bug Fixes

• Resolved issue with bulk task updates not functioning correctly.
• Task start date now defaults to the current date and cannot exceed the due date.
• Fixed errors in space and project creation.
• Improved page load time when moving tasks across projects.
• Corrected alignment issues in notifications, mentions, and space names.

Thank you all for your continued support. We’ve already received 65+ feature requests and enhancements, which gives us plenty to build on. Our focus, however, is not on adding everything, but on ensuring the app stays simple, productive, and the go-to tool that helps teams work efficiently and businesses retain profit.

Hi Customers,

I want to address two major setbacks we faced after our latest release on August 9th, 2025 and share with you the steps we’re taking to ensure they never happen again.

A little background: This release was a big milestone for us. We migrated Astravue to a new architecture to make the platform sturdier, more stable, and ready to scale. We also upgraded our frontend to the latest version to improve speed and overall customer experience. The goal was simple. To serve you better. We conducted intensive testing to avoid any major issues, but unfortunately, two slipped through.

What happened:

1. URL Loading Issue: For some customers, loading the app resulted in a blank white screen. Clearing the browser cache resolved this. No further action required, henceforth
2. Task Description Loss: For a few customers, when tasks were moved, the details stored in the Task Description were lost (this did not occur in all cases).

What we’ve done:

As soon as these issues were identified, our team treated them with highest priority. Though the 1st is just cache issues, we should have taken action proactively. For the second issue, a permanent fix is in progress and will be rolled out by EOD August 13th, 2025 (IST).

A personal note:

I want to sincerely apologize to each and every one of you who faced the issue. You trust us with your projects and we take that responsibility seriously. This time, we slipped, and I am truly sorry.

Astravue is here for the long run, and we are learning from this experience to ensure such issues do not happen again.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and trust as we work to make Astravue better every day.

For any questions, please reach out to us via support@astravue.com

With sincerity,

Ramesh Kumar Ramachdran,

Founder & CEO, Astravue
