New
Our largest update to date. A completely new working experience that feels familiar yet more productive, flexible & efficient.
Whatâs new:
Single sidebar & simplified hierarchy
Private area inside the sidebar
Quick bar to the right
Faster search experience
App templates
Brand new drag-and-drop logic
Improved todo app (auto assign self)Â
Improved link-adding logic
A brand new onboarding experience

We built 2.0 with more than two thousand of you and with the incredibly-valuable feedback you have shared. We hope this update is exciting, efficient and most importantly useful to your everyday productivity set-up with liftOS. đĢļ
â ī¸ URL changes:
2.0 Access is under a new domain: www.liftos.app (requires password reset)
1.0 access is moved to: old.liftos.io (all data will be deleted in 30 days)
Finally, one simplified sidebar.
We received lots of feedback to improve our double-sidebar UX into a simpler single-layer one. So we did just that. Merged both layers into one, simple & flexible sidebar.
We also simplified the hierarchy inside your Workspace.
Sections are now Spaces & Spaces are now folders.
Spaces inherit folders & you can have up to 10 nested folders.
This way the Sidebar can be simple to work with but also more customizable as you can freely move things around and create a nested-structure.
More things to come to the sidebar, looking forward to all of your feedback in the next days đ
A new private area
To help you manage private Apps and Folders with ease. Simply add folders, add apps, and reorder to organize with ease. If youâd like to move anything from private to the public area, simply drag and drop to share with your team!
We wanted a separate area to quickly add info without thinking about the destination. So you can quickly jot down info or keep tasks and then move it anywhere you want to keep it organized.
A-very-quick Quickbar
Chat, Calendar, Inbox, Templates, and other tools for you neatly packed into the new Quickbar to the right of every Workspace.
Simply hover over to discover different tools & collapse when focusing on the work with the arrow button at the middle of the Quickbar.
And much moreâĻ
1k+ feedback analysed, written over 100k lines of code for 12 weeks to deliver this new experience to you. â¤ī¸âđĨ

Last but not least: For those who love the details:
A new permission structure
How Permissions Work
Workspace-level roles do not affect any Space / folder-level visibility.
One can assign users to both Spaces & Folders.
Space & folder assignments are in 2 categories: Admin / Member
Admin
Can view, delete, change name and reorder the Space / folder as well as remove members
Member
Can view, & add new members of the Space / folders.Â
If a user is not assigned they wonât automatically see any Space or Folder unless:
Auto assign is ON:
Space and Folders can be turned on to automatically be shared with users of their âparentsâ.
A Space can inherit all members from the Workspace and folder from the Space of folder above it.
For example (IMAGE) Everyone at âWS NAMEâ can see this.
If this is âFull accessâ automatically workspace members can see this area. If a Space is âfull accessâ but a folder is âno accessâ then that folder will remain invisible. So you can manually decide under Spaces that are full access which folders will also be visible automatically or not.

liftUI 2.0 has been in the works for the past 2 weeks and brings much-requested improvements to working with your tools and people inside liftOS.
Our focus with this update is on keeping the same level of simplicity and organization but improving the flexibility, speed, and ease of use of our user interface.
Watch the pre-update information:
This liftUI 2.0 update will bring:

âšī¸ making navigating between spaces easier
Quick app and folder adding option
âšī¸ to help jot down info quickly
Ability to open apps from different spaces
âšī¸ to increase flexibility when using tools
Ability to move apps between spaces by drag and drop
âšī¸ Flexibility in usageÂ
A new private area to organize personal work or drafts until they are ready to share by dropping it to the âsharedâ spaces area
âšī¸ Helps working quickly with tools
No more sections (logic remains but everything is a Space or a folder now.
âšī¸ Simplicity
Unlimited sub folders with assignments going top to down
âšī¸ Customisation

âšī¸ Ease of use and speed of use
With this change, we are also fixing many bugs we had with Favourites, Sync Apps, and Home page tools and eliminating lines of code to make using liftOS a faster, smoother, and more enjoyable experience.
When ready, youâll automatically be transferred to liftUI 2.0 and your data will be fully migrated to this UI keeping your Section > Space > Folder > App structure and translating it inside the new UI automatically.
We hope to share what we have been working with you next week đ

July 26th, 2024
With this update, we are introducing liftCalendar. To help you visualize your todos & projects based on days, weeks and months. Also with this update, we redesigned the date picker to help you easily add dates to your todos. Read more to find out whatâs new đ
View all todos that are assigned to you at a specific time with the Global Calendar
Create tasks directly from the Global Calendar or view your existing tasks all together in one Calendar view.
If a task is assigned to you and has a time selected, it will automatically appear in the Global Calendar. Tasks are separated by color (colors are inherited from Tags) so if you assign any Tag to group your todos, your calendar will have the same color system automatically.
In the Global Calendar view, you can only see your tasks, (seeing teammates coming soon) but inside the Todo App Calendar view you can see all tasks in Calendar view đ.
View all the todos in a single App inside the Calendar view built within Todos.
You can do this by simply toggling it within the App. Here todos will also inherit tag colors, and you can change the tag from within the Calendar view. This view will show all tasks in the Calendar view regardless if whether it has an assignee or not. The only requirement for a task to be shown in this view is that it has a specific time selected.
A beautifully re-designed date picker to help you quickly add dates to your tasks
We redesigned the date picker and added a time picker as well as suggested dates to help you pick a date quickly and productively đĢļ
We hope you enjoy the new Calendar and features we launched with this update to help you organize your days, weeks and months more productively with liftOS đ
Whatâs next for Calendar?
All-day tasks, zooming in and out of time ranges & Google Calendar integration
Coming shortly after đ
July 9th, 2024
With this update, we added the much-requested Grid-view to our Files App, thumbnails to PDF + Images, and a new way to open Files inside Todos.
Toggle to the new Grid-view
With the new Grid view option insides the Files App, you can get hold of information by glancing at thumbnails of files to find what you need quickly!
View files side by side in relation-view
We are a big fan of viewing information side by side, now with this update, files open in our relation view allowing you to see files and other apps side by side đ
We hope this update improves how you work daily with liftOS and improves your productivity đĢļ
more to come soon (some easter eggs are in this update đĨ)

With this new update, You can chat with your teammates directly inside of liftOS using liftChat and get the help of AI right inside of our Note App. Both features we will improve more in the next weeks with your feedback
Chat with your team without leaving liftOS
Chatting and working in two seperate platform can create knowledge silos and increase distractions. Our goal with chat is to bring communication directly where you work. You can chat about Spaces or DM users individually with chat groups coming soon. Slack, Teams and Discord integrations as well as rich text, images and file uploads will be coming in the next month!.
Use AI to get help with writing notes, document and wikis
We are going to be releasing more and more AI features inside liftOS, starting with the low-hanging-fruits, NoteAI. Note AI can help you improve writing or to create new writing for you with a single prompt. Try it out by highlighting text or using the "/" comment.
We love feedback on new features!
