Remember Codegeist 2020? For this contest by Atlassian, we submitted our app “Lively Recorder” and managed to land second place with it (see our blogpost)! Since then, Lively Recorder has undergone many changes, and we are excited to announce that it’s available on the Marketplace starting today!

We would like to give a huge THANKS to you for making this first year of Lively Apps so unbelievably amazing! When we founded this company at the beginning of 2020, we had no idea about the crazy ups and downs awaiting us. Let’s end this year on a positive note and revisit some of the good things that happened throughout the last 12 months! 🥳

Welcome HideElements 3.2.0! We love getting feedback and ideas for new features from our users. This release comes directly from a request to add Page History and Attachments in the tool menu to Hide Elements.

Earlier this year, the Atlassian Partner Scandio decided to split off their product department into a new company called “Lively Apps” (that’s us! 👋). As an Atlassian Solution Partner, Scandio was of course heavily utilizing the Atlassian stack internally, so there were several Atlassian Server systems that we had to take over from them. Here’s a short overview:

Welcome Task Reminder for Confluence Cloud! Teams using Confluence Cloud can now effectively track their outstanding Confluence tasks with Task Reminder. Like most of our apps, Task Reminder was born from a problem. Managing Confluence tasks can be tricky.

We are happy to announce PocketQuery for Confluence 4.0!
