The Lifetime Pack is Here!

We’ve been listening to the changing trend in AI and SaaS.

Soon, usage based pricing would take over user based pricing. We wanted to be early adoper to this model. So, we have rolled our Lifetime Pack alongside per user pricing.

 Smarter Kanban Boards

We’ve overhauled the Kanban experience to make it feel more fluid:

  • Drag & Drop Everything: You can now drag entire boards to reorganize your workspace exactly how you want it.
  • Smoother Columns: We’ve polished column visibility and movement, so managing your workflow feels snappy and intuitive.
  • Reliable Filtering: We fixed a bug where filters didn't always play nice with columns. Now, what you see is exactly what you filtered for.

Better Timesheets & UI

  • Stay Focused: In the Timesheet table, the first column now "sticks" while you scroll horizontally. No more losing track of which row belongs to which project!
  • Clean Look: We’ve optimized headers and column widths to give your data more room to breathe.
  • Custom Field Sorting: Sorting now works perfectly across all your custom fields, making it easier to find the specific data you need.

Global Timesheets in Astravue

Managing a global workforce shouldn't feel like a second job. Up until now, capturing team hours meant wrestling with a "Frankenstein" of spreadsheets, messy manual entries, and the constant fear that billable hours were slipping through the cracks of different time zones. It wasn't just tedious; it was an administrative burden on your team’s creativity.

Introducing Global Timesheets in Astravue. Now, your entire team’s hours are unified in a single, seamless view. No more timezone math—just clean, accurate data in one click.

What’s Upcoming:

  • Instant Time Tracker: Log hours will become just easier; just click and go.

Astravue Weekly Release Notes - Protect Your Profit.

This week marks a major milestone for Astravue.

We are taking the first structured step toward Project Profitability Control — helping you ensure that your projects don’t silently erode margins.

Resource Management — The Foundation of Profit Protection

Projects don’t lose money dramatically. They leak it gradually.

With the introduction of Resource Capacity Management, Astravue now moves closer to answering a critical business question:

Are we deploying the right people, at the right capacity, within the right budget?

Here’s what this unlocks:

  • Visibility into team capacity
  • Alignment of resource allocation with planned effort
  • The foundation for cost tracking against project budgets
  • Prevention of margin leakage before it becomes damage

This will soon be tightly connected witt

  • Timesheets clocked by team members
  • Budgeted project costs
  • Actual effort vs planned effort comparison

The end goal is simple and powerful:

No project should leak money.

You grow your business confidently. You protect your margins. You deliver great customer experience — without compromising profitability.

This is Phase 1. More financial intelligence is coming.

Experience & Usability Enhancements

We also made several improvements to make daily execution smoother and faster.

 Chat Improvements

  • Default landing tab changed to Direct Messages for quicker conversations.
  • Added dynamic search in chat sidebar for faster project and DM navigation.
  • Improved message grouping for better readability.
  • Enhanced dynamic scroll handling in project chats to adapt automatically when content changes.

Notifications

  • Clicking the notification toggle now automatically marks notifications as read.
  • Task close actions now properly handle notifications, mentions, and reminders — ensuring cleaner workflow completion.

Timers

  • Global task timer popover now hides automatically when the last active timer stops — cleaner UI, fewer distractions.

Context-Rich Threads + Gmail Integration

As we build Astravue, our focus remains simple: help service teams save time and protect billable minutes.

What’s New

Threaded Context Where Work Happens

Tasks in Astravue now carry their full context. Conversations, updates, and decisions stay threaded with the work itself—so teams don’t waste time searching across tools or re-explaining details.

Why this matters: When context is always relevant and visible, teams make informed decisions faster. Less back-and-forth. Fewer mistakes. More time spent delivering value.

For agencies and professional service teams, every minute counts in billing. This update is designed to respect that reality.

Astravue on Gmail Marketplace

Astravue is now available on the Gmail Marketplace.

Project members and stakeholders can now:

  • Raise tasks directly from emails
  • Convert client requests into actionable work instantly
  • Preserve email context without manual copy-paste

Why this matters: Email is still where a lot of work begins. By turning emails into tasks seamlessly, teams eliminate delays, reduce context loss, and move faster from request to execution.

The Bigger Picture

These updates are about one thing: keeping context connected so teams can move faster, decide better, and stay profitable.

As always, we’re building Astravue for teams who value clarity, accountability, and time.

Better Collaboration & Sleeker Workflows

We’re excited to roll out a suite of new features designed to make your project management and team communication smoother than ever. From enhanced guest permissions to smarter chat tools, here’s what’s new!

Empowered Guest Collaboration

We’ve expanded what guest users can do to help your projects move faster.

  • Create Tasks: Guest users are no longer limited to just editing—they can now add new tasks, allowing them to contribute directly to the project pipeline.
  • Granular PM Controls: Project Managers now have a toggle for Full vs. Limited privileges. You decide exactly how much control your guests have over task creation and management.

Smarter Team Chat

Communication is the heart of every project. We’ve added two highly-requested features to our chat module:

  • Online Status: See who’s available at a glance with real-time presence indicators.
  • Threaded Replies: No more lost context in busy group chats! You can now reply directly to a specific message, making it easy to keep track of different conversation threads.

Personalized Views

Everyone works differently. You can now Favorite your most-used views for instant access. Whether it's a specific board, list, or timeline, your favorite workflow is now just one click away.

🛡️ Coming Soon: Task Approvals

We know how quickly "scope creep" can derail a project. We are currently working on an Approval Workflow.

Soon, any task added by a guest or team member can be sent for approval before it officially joins the project scope. This ensures every new item aligns with your project goals and budget.

Regards,

Ramesh

1:1 Direct Messages Are Here

1:1 Direct Messaging (DM) — Now Live 

You can now have private, one-to-one conversations inside Astravue. No more switching tools or losing context—discuss tasks, clarify updates, and make decisions faster, right where the work happens. This is a major step toward real-time, action-driven collaboration.

AI Project Summary – Version 2

Our AI summaries just got smarter. In addition to tracking pending and delayed work, the summary now also highlights on-time completions, giving you a more balanced and accurate view of project health and delivery performance.

Bug Fixes & Improvements

We’ve squashed several bugs and made behind-the-scenes improvements to ensure a smoother, more reliable experience.

05 Jan, 2026

AI-Powered Project Summary

We’ve introduced Project Summary, an AI-powered feature that gives you a clear, no-noise snapshot of your project health.

Instead of scanning dashboards, Astravue now highlights what actually matters:

  • Tasks currently overdue and where delays are stacking up
  • Work that finished late
  • Average time taken to complete tasks
  • Clear signals on whether a project needs attention

No health scores. No clutter. Just clarity.

A few important things to note

  • This feature is in limited rollout
  • It is actively being enhanced and refined
  • Usage limits and pricing, if any, are still being worked on and will be communicated clearly before broader release

Ramesh

Chat-Driven Tasks & Real-Time Tag Updates

  • Create Tasks via Chat Users can now create tasks directly from project chat, improving context-driven execution.
  • Tag Management via WebSocket Real-time updates for tag creation, deletion, and management without page refresh.
  • Added success confirmation for tag deletion.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed task status update issue affecting the tick-mark action.
  • Corrected task description displayed in chat to reflect the project task description.
  • Resolved errors when creating tasks via chat, including status change failures.
  • Restricted Guest users from creating tasks via Project Chat.

Release Note – Discussions (Chat) Feature

I am excited to introduce Discussions, a built-in chat feature designed to improve productivity through focused collaboration and transparent communication.

As teams grow, conversations often get scattered across emails, messaging apps, and informal channels. When information is lost, frustration builds, accountability weakens, and the blame game begins. Discussions addresses this problem by keeping conversations exactly where the work happens.

With Discussions, teams can:

  • Collaborate in real time within the context of their work
  • Keep decisions, updates, and clarifications centralized
  • Reduce dependency on external chat tools
  • Improve customer satisfaction through better visibility and transparency

This is a step towards a single, unified workspace—because managing work should not require paying for multiple tools.

Availability

  • Available for Trial, Starter, and Powerpack plans
  • For Lifetime Deal users, Discussions will be available as an add-on, as the infrastructure cost for real-time communication is significantly higher

What’s Next

  • 1-on-1 chat is already in progress and will be released soon

We believe Discussions will help teams collaborate better, stay aligned, and move work forward without communication spills.

Regards,

Ramesh
