What's new in PepperPlanner.

Daily Team Digest, create-as-you-go forms and a schedule that remembers

  • Daily Team Digest. A short morning message in your team chat: who’s absent, who’s overbooked, who has room, and where absences collide with planned work. Only exceptions are reported. Mattermost for now, available on request.
  • Create as you go. Add a new client right from the project form, a new position while adding a person, and link projects from the client form — no need to leave what you’re doing.
  • General settings. A new Settings tab for your company name and workspace currency (USD, EUR or GBP).
  • Click a name to open it. Names in lists open the edit drawer directly.
  • The Schedule remembers your view. View, zoom and sort order come back when you return.
  • Fixes & polish. Safer position deletion, simpler Weekly Status, natural name sorting, better text contrast and a handful of bug fixes.

Projects table fits 13" laptops

  • Projects table fits 13” laptops. The Projects list no longer clips project and client names on smaller screens (1280–1440 px). Low-priority columns (Workers, Project type, then Budget) hide automatically as the table gets narrower and come back when you collapse the sidebar or use a wider screen. Tables never squeeze a column below a readable width anymore — they scroll instead.
  • Weekly Status keeps its order. Projects are now listed alphabetically, regardless of health or submission state, so a project no longer jumps to the bottom the moment you submit or edit its update.
  • Reports ignore closed projects. Archived projects and projects in the Closed stage are excluded from the Project, Financial, People and Unallocated-projects reports, and from the project pickers in those reports.
  • Polish. The Save changes button in the weekly-update editor no longer wraps onto two lines.

Project view catches up with People view

  • Same schedule, either way. The Project view now matches the People view: compact weekends (with the toggle shared between views), full-width day columns at every zoom level, and sticky date and name headers while you scroll.
  • Clearer day cues. Weekends and public holidays are shaded differently, and a red “today” line marks the current date.
  • Consistent allocation bars. Bars in the Project view use the same style as the People view — soft project-colour tint, hover highlight, readable labels.
  • Overlapping allocations fixed. Two allocations for the same person on the same project no longer hide each other; both show side by side and can be edited independently.
  • Clearer removal confirmations. Removing an allocation or project from the Project or Schedule view now shows an improved confirmation dialog that spells out exactly what will be removed before you confirm.

Weekend planning and a cleaner schedule

  • Weekend allocations. Toggle weekends on in the schedule to plan Saturday and Sunday work. Day widths adapt automatically, including weekend-only ranges.
  • Compact lanes. Allocations pack into fewer rows, so more of your team fits on screen without scrolling.
  • Project name and hours on every segment. No more guessing what a bar is when it spans several days.
  • Weekly status, unified. One page for the whole team; missing rows can be filled in directly from the overview.

Weekly status updates

  • Weekly status. A lightweight weekly check-in per project — what moved, what’s blocked, what’s next. Optional per workspace; owners turn it on in settings.
  • Dashboard summary. Submitted updates roll up on the dashboard next to utilization.
  • Schedule fixes. Eight bugs squashed around splitting, resizing and multi-week allocations, now covered by an end-to-end smoke suite.
  • Safer CSV exports. Exports use explicit column lists and neutralise formula-like values, so nothing executes when opened in a spreadsheet.

Positions, sign-in and account hardening

  • “Role” is now “Position”. Reports and the People page use one word for what someone does — PM, Designer, Developer, QA — leaving “role” for workspace permissions.
  • Google sign-in polish. Signing in with Google on a pending account no longer leaves an untrusted password behind.
  • Deleted accounts stay deleted. Emails belonging to a recently deleted account can’t be re-registered or reused until the recovery window closes.
  • Security hardening. Stricter session handling, rate limits and input caps across the API.

Your data, exportable and deletable

  • Data export. Download everything — your personal data or the whole workspace — as a token-protected archive, delivered asynchronously.
  • Account deletion. Delete your own account with a soft-delete undo window, then a permanent purge. Last owners are guided through handing off the workspace first.
  • Verified email change. Change your sign-in email with re-authentication and a confirmation on both addresses.
  • Consent and retention. Cookie consent banner, consent captured at registration, and transient data cleaned up on a schedule.
