Kanban boards that actually help you ship
Organize any project with drag-and-drop cards on a visual board. Create custom columns, set priorities, add checklists, and track progress — like Trello, but built into the same app as your meetings and focus sessions.
Your project's command center
Every project gets its own AI agent that sees across all boards, cards, and meetings. Ask it to analyze project health, find bottlenecks, move cards between columns, or summarize what happened this week — all without leaving the project.
Think out loud with AI
Open a conversation with AI that already knows about your projects, cards, and meeting transcripts. Brainstorm ideas, explore solutions, or plan your next feature — then push the best outcomes straight to your board.
Architecture Planning
AI breaks down your goals into steps
Describe what you want to build and AI generates a structured plan: milestones, subtasks, and considerations for scalability and security. Perfect for kicking off a new project without staring at a blank board.
Idea Repository
Capture ideas the moment they hit — from the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+K), the sidebar, or the Ideas page. Tag them, rate their feasibility with AI, and when one's ready, convert it into a project or a card in one click.
Deep work, gamified
Start a focus session, link it to a card, and enter a full-screen timer that blocks distractions. Earn XP, level up through 30 tiers, and unlock 84 achievements as you build your focus habit. Track your time with daily charts and export reports for billing.
Intelligence Feed
A personalized aggregator for your RSS feeds, research briefs, and industry news. Bookmark important items, identify trending topics, and chat directly with your feed to extract insights without leaving the app.
