Why Task Collaboration

A board is how teams already think.

Every team already has a board — it is just spread across a spreadsheet, a chat thread, a drive, and somebody’s memory. Task Collaboration puts it in one place and keeps it live, so the plan and the work are the same object.

  1. 01The work is already a boardColumns are how teams describe status out loud.
  2. 02Stale is the same as wrongIf two people see two versions, the tool failed.
  3. 03Context belongs on the cardNot in a doc, a thread, and a drive.

The problem

Nothing is missing. It is just in five places.

The status lives in a spreadsheet someone stopped updating. The decision that changed everything is forty messages deep in a thread. The spec is a file named final-v3. The launch date is in a calendar nobody moved. None of it is lost, exactly — it is just impossible to see at once.

So the team rebuilds the picture in a status meeting, from memory, once a week. That meeting is the symptom. The board is the fix.

No refresh. No “can you re-share the latest?”

Live

A stale board is a lying board.

If two people can open the same list and see two different answers, the tool has failed at the only job that mattered. Realtime is not a flourish here — it is the difference between a map and a rumor.

Moves, comments, labels, and due dates travel over a live socket to everyone on the board. Nobody refreshes. Nobody asks whether they have the latest version, because there is only one.

Context

Open the card. That is the whole handover.

Work gets lost in the gaps between tools — the due date over here, the reasoning over there, the file somewhere else. So the card holds all of it: description, labels, owner, due date, checklist, comments, files, votes, and the activity trail of who changed what.

When someone new picks the work up, there is nothing to forward. The card is the briefing.

Pricing

Free is a plan, not a trial.

No credit card to open a workspace, and no clock running in the corner. Free is 10 boards, 10 seats, 3 guests, and 250 MB of files — with realtime, comments, checklists, calendar, Home, and the simple board automations included. Paid plans raise the ceiling; they do not switch the lights back on.

Always

Free

10 boards, 10 seats, 3 guests. The board, live, with the people who need it.

When you outgrow it

Pro

Unlimited boards, search across every card, table, timeline, map, custom fields, and scheduled automations.

Company-wide

Business

Unlimited seats and guests, 100 GB of files, everything in Pro.

Upgrade in Stripe Checkout, manage it in the customer portal, and export your boards whenever you like.

Access

Shared does not have to mean exposed.

Most work involves someone who should see one board and nothing else — a contractor, a client, another department. Guests are scoped to exactly the boards they were added to, and that scoping is enforced where the data is loaded, not hidden in the interface.

Public links are read-only and revocable. API keys are stored hashed and shown once. Webhook payloads are signed so your endpoint can prove they came from us.

Who it is for

Product, ops, and anyone who has outgrown a shared doc.

Small teams

One workspace, a few boards, everyone on the same lists. Free covers 10 boards and 10 seats — enough to run real projects, not a countdown to a sales call.

Growing companies

Unlimited boards, search across every card, table and timeline views, custom fields, and Stripe when billing needs to be real.

People who hate ceremony

No story points you will not use. No process theater. Drag the card, comment on it, move on.

Constraints we keep

What we will not do.

We will not bury the board

The lists are the product. Table, timeline, map, and analytics are other angles on the same cards — never a dashboard you have to cross to reach your work.

We will not invent a new metaphor

Workspaces, boards, lists, cards. If you have used a Kanban tool before, you are already finished learning this one.

We will not fake collaboration

Updates arrive over a live socket. A page that needs a refresh to tell the truth is a screenshot with extra steps.

We will not hold your data hostage

Export a board and take it with you. Import from Trello or CSV on any plan, including Free. Leaving should be as easy as arriving.

If the work is a board, start there.

Put one real project on a board this afternoon. Invite the people who need the lists. Keep the conversation on the cards.

Start for free. No credit card required.
