Not all house Issues are equally bad. Now you can separate your most "Urgent!" issues from problems that can wait til you've finished your coffee... Pick from any of the following choices:
- Urgent
- Necessary but not urgent
- Nice-to-have
- No priority
Pro tip:
To change your Issue's Priority, Status, or Type, you can now make changes directly from your Issues or Projects lists, or click into the Issue with our new Full Page Issues (see post)!Now you can
enjoy much more space to work with and think about your Issues
. From the Issues list, just click on any Issue, and you'll be brought to a full page view of that Issue. Making changes and adding details should feel much more comfortable now. And never worry about forgetting to press "Save" again - we'll save your changes as you go
.Besides making Issues a little easier to use, this upgrade also gives us way more room to add more features to Issues -
stay tuned
!

Add Issues from the Areas View
Previously, to add issues for a given area, you had to open a dropdown menu. Now, there's a big button:
No good house project happens overnight, so we're here to help you better capture your "In Progress" work. Now, whenever you create or update an issue in Minicastle, you can display the following stages:
- To Do: your backlog of tasks, ideas, plans, and goals
- In Progress
- Done(Woohoo!!)
- Shelved: just take a break or put it on the back-burner, and come back when the time is right
We've also added new sorting options to handle statuses, and all data exports will include your status too. Need more status options? Share your thoughts on our Feedback page, or email help@minicastle.app
Many of you have mentioned that you'd like to use Minicastle to better manage paints, tools, equipment, and more. Now you can! New updates to the Inventory tool include:
- Track items based on where/how you use them (Example: Which paint did I use in a particular room? Where is it actually being stored in case I need to do touch-ups?)
- Attach photos so you know what you're looking for
- Include more detail for model/serial numbers, purchase dates, brands, etc.
- Track quantities, units, and costs
- Attach links to save receipts, manuals, how-to videos, and more

Better Projects
Projects help you easily organize issues and enjoy your progress as you complete them. Now you can also:
- See the total time and $$you've invested into any given project
- See an at-a-glance view of the issue count and overall status
- Add new or existing issues directly to the project
