Leantime 3.4 Released:The Features You Asked For

After months of development and countless conversations with many of you (yes, we read every single feature request, even the ones submitted at 3 AM), version 3.4 is ready. This release focuses on reducing friction in your workflows and addressing some of your most consistent requests.

Core Updates in 3.4

Recurring Tasks

You’ve been asking for this since 2021. It’s finally here—we promise we weren’t just putting it on an infinite snooze cycle. Set up tasks to repeat on daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly schedules—perfect for standing meetings, routine reports, or any work that follows predictable cycles.

One early adopter noted: “This eliminates the mental overhead of recreating the same tasks repeatedly. For those of us with attention management challenges, this reduces a significant point of friction.”

 For SaaS users: Available immediately on all paid plans

 For self-hosted users: Available as the Recurring Tasks plugin in our marketplace

Personal Access Tokens for API Integration

Meaningful automation no longer requires custom code or interpretive dance to make systems talk to each other. With personal access tokens, you can now connect Leantime to Zapier and build integrations with your existing toolchain:

• Pull tasks from email communication
• Convert form responses into structured projects
• Sync critical dates with your calendar system
• Push notifications to your team’s communication channels

 For SaaS users: Available immediately on all paid plans

 For self-hosted users: Available as the API Integration plugin in our marketplace

Workspace Personalization

We’ve added a collection of background options for your workspace. A small change, but one that many of you requested to make your project environment feel more aligned with your thinking and work style. (No, we don’t have the “scrolling green code from The Matrix” option… yet.)

 For SaaS users: Available on all plans, including free tier 

 For self-hosted users: Plugin to be released soon

Changes to Our Marketplace

Based on your feedback about our plugin ecosystem, we’ve rebuilt our marketplace approach:

• Simplified Categorization: Plugins are now organized by function and complexity rather than abstract tiers
• New Personal Tier: Designed for individuals and small teams (1-3 users)
• Adjusted Pricing Structure: More realistic tiers that align with how teams actually grow and use Leantime
• Reduced Pricing: Lower costs for most user categories

 For self-hosted users: This affects how you purchase and access plugins 

Licensing Approach for Self-Hosted Users

We’ve heard your concerns about sustainability models for open source tools. Our approach:

• Buy once, use that version permanently
• Annual updates available but entirely optional (think of it as optional insurance against the chaos of technology evolution)
• Full transparency about compatibility considerations
• No forced obsolescence or artificial limitations

This respects your autonomy while allowing us to continue development without resorting to questionable fundraising tactics. (We promise we won’t start a Leantime-branded cryptocurrency.)

What’s Next

We’re already working on some quality of life improvement for the next release. As always, your input shapes our roadmap—we’re not just randomly throwing darts at a feature board, though sometimes that does sound tempting.
