Keyboard-first planning for people and teams

Plan things better.Then get them done.

Plan Things Better is a fast, focused place for your tasks and projects. See the same work as a list, a board, a timeline, a calendar or a map of what depends on what, side by side in panes, and move through all of it without leaving the keyboard.

Plan Things Better with four panes open: a team's open work grouped by project, their launch chat, a task's comment thread with a live task list in it, and the workspace's activity.

Try it now

Take it for a spin. No sign-up.

Open your own copy of a busy team’s workspace and try everything on real-looking work. It takes a few seconds, and nobody else sees it.

  • A product team in launch week: a mobile release and a billing overhaul
  • A launch plan with every kind of block: live task lists, diagrams, a whiteboard, slides
  • A sprint board, a roadmap, a calendar, a dependency map and a dashboard
  • The team’s chat, comment threads and a few days of activity
  • All of it yours to change: drag, edit, link and delete

Kept for 3 days, then deleted.

What it is

One home for the work, however you like to see it

Workspaces hold your projects and tasks, with their own statuses, priorities, types and labels. Break work into sub-tasks, link what blocks what, and plan it the way that fits the moment.

Instant

Every change shows the moment you make it, everywhere it appears. No spinners, no save buttons, no waiting on the server.

Keyboard-first

Short, memorable key chords for everything: go anywhere, create anything, update any field. Press ? to see them all.

Together

Comments, @mentions, chat channels and live presence, with an inbox for what needs you and a record of everything that changed.

Layouts

Six ways to see the same work

Switch any view between layouts without losing your filters, and save the ones you come back to.

Dense, grouped and sortable. Scan a hundred tasks at a glance and act on many at once.

The List layout: a team’s open tasks grouped by project, with priority, assignee, labels and type.

Docs

Write it down, right next to the work

Plans, specs and notes live in the same workspace as the tasks they’re about. Drop a live task list into a page and it keeps itself up to date, then add diagrams, formulas, code, a whiteboard, slides or a whole database.

A launch plan page with a live list of the project’s open tasks, a rollout flowchart and a code block.
What a doc can hold: a whiteboard, slides, a database board, a live task list, a diagram, a checklist, a formula and code.

Together

Talk where the work is

Every task has its own thread and every team its own channels. Mentions land in an inbox, and every change is recorded in Activity.

A task’s comment thread: a flowchart in one comment, a live list of urgent tasks in another.

Comment on the task itself, with diagrams and live task lists right in the thread.

A team chat channel with links to tasks and docs, replies and @mentions.

Chat in channels, linking tasks and docs, and @mention whoever needs to see it.

Features

Built for people who plan a lot

Everything you need to run a project, and nothing that gets in the way of doing the work.

WV

Split panes

Open anything beside anything else: a board next to its tasks, a dashboard next to the list it counts. Drag tabs between panes, resize them, and zoom one to fill the screen.

A1

Arrangements

Save a set of panes as “Triage” or “Planning” and switch between them in a keystroke.

A query bar that helps

Filter, group and sort by typing, like assignee:me is:open sort:due, with suggestions as you go.

Dashboards

Bar, line and pie charts and big numbers over any filter, including how long work takes from start to done.

Sub-tasks and dependencies

Break work down, see progress roll up, and mark what blocks what, related or duplicated.

Chat, comments and an inbox

Talk in channels or on the task itself. @mention someone and it lands in their inbox, with updates since you last looked.

Activity, with undo

Every change to your workspace is recorded: who changed what, and when. Revert a change right from the log.

A real Trash

Deleting is never a panic. Restore anything in one step; forever is a separate, deliberate choice.

CT

Everything on the keyboard

G then I for your inbox, C then T for a new task, U then S to set a status, and Vim-style J and K to move. Press ? any time to see every shortcut.
