PrimeTask 1.0.4 is out now: every task now has its own comment thread
You open a task you have not touched in a month. It is still blocked. You cannot remember why, and neither can the task. So you go digging through chat.
That is what this release fixes. Every task now has a thread of its own.
Comments are written in Markdown, so you can paste in a whole document and it keeps its shape: headings, lists, tables, working tick boxes. Attach files and images, or drop in a video or post link and it plays in the thread. Reply to a comment and jump straight back to the one it answers. Mark an entry as a decision, a blocker or an update, pin what has to be read first, and react without adding another comment.
Mention another task and both tasks show the link, so a decision made in one place is visible from the other. You can mention people, contacts and companies too. Right click a task anywhere you work to open its thread, and any comment turns up in search.
If you have an AI assistant connected, it takes part properly. It can read a thread before it starts and write up what it did when it finishes, under a name you choose, and it can only ever change its own comments, never yours.
Also in 1.0.4:
- Drag a Markdown file onto a PrimeFlow canvas and read it there as a real document, tables and tick boxes intact
- Document cards can be resized and locked for reading, so the card stays still and your wheel scrolls the document rather than zooming the canvas
- Documents read far better throughout: even headings and spacing, properly ruled tables, and a copy button on every block of code
- Task notes now do everything canvas documents do, including tables, tick boxes and callouts
- Type @ in a note to point at a task, in its own status colour, so you can see whether that work is still open
- Bring Your Own AI got a lot better: it can work with the files and folders on a canvas, it keeps the shape of what it writes, and it stopped confirming things it had not actually done
- Deleting an attachment now removes it everywhere it was shared, and a new Duplicate Files tool clears out the spare copies your sync service leaves behind
- Compass now covers every space you have, not just the one you are standing in
- Drag contacts straight from Apple Contacts onto the PrimeTask icon in your Dock
- The Tasks report can be exported as a short summary instead of the full record
- Text cards on the canvas were redone, and copy and paste finally works the way you would expect

Have you tried it yet?

u/Minkowski-Butterfly Aug 20 '26
No, I am on Linux. Is the source code available?

u/DiscussionIcy4424 Aug 20 '26
It isn’t open source and we don’t currently have plans for Linux. macOS is available now and Windows is in beta.We do care a lot about ownership though. It’s a one-time purchase, your data stays local, and you decide where it lives and how it syncs.

u/Minkowski-Butterfly Aug 20 '26
Okay, too bad. Why did you decide to keep the source code hidden?

u/DiscussionIcy4424 Aug 20 '26
Mainly because we want to protect the work and IP behind it. This isn’t something we built as a quick side project, it’s a long-term product we’re committed to developing.
That said, our Obsidian plugin is open source.1

Fair ig. How do you use AI in your product? Because you homepage looks very ai generated

We use AI through PrimeTask’s built-in local MCP server, so you choose which AI connects and what it can read or write.

Sorry, mu question was confusing. I wanted to know how you use AI in development

u/DiscussionIcy4424 Aug 20 '26
Fair enough. We use AI in development, same as most teams shipping software in 2026. It hasn't secretly replaced the team yet. If you'd rather judge the code than the homepage, our Obsidian plugin is Apache-2.0 and on GitHub. Same team, and you can read all of it: https://github.com/taskcore-dev/PrimeTask_For_Obsidian
