Your whole plan, side by side

Plan things better.Then get them done.

Plan Things Better puts the board, the plan, the dashboard and the chat side by side, so you see the whole picture at once. Every change lands instantly and is recorded, and you never have to leave the keyboard.

Free forever for one workspace. No card needed.

Or try a live demo, no sign-up

Panes and arrangements

Everything you need, open at once

Make a task, put Activity beside it, tile the board, the launch plan and the chat, then save the set to bring back later. Every step is a couple of key presses.

Make a taskCTType a title, press Enter, and open it from the notice.

Everything you need, open at once: Make a task

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.

How it fits together

Plan by what, and by when

Five ideas cover everything in Plan Things Better. Projects hold the work, milestones set the dates, and a Space shares just the part a client needs.

One workspaceEvery project, task, doc and chat your team has, in one place everyone on the team can see. How workspaces work

Layouts

The same work, whichever way you need to see it

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 and talk

Write it down and talk it through, next to the work

Plans, specs and notes live beside the tasks they’re about, and every task has its own thread. Mentions land in an inbox, and every change is recorded in Activity.

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.

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 and arrangements

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, zoom one to fill the screen, then save the set as “Triage” or “Planning” and bring it back in a keystroke.

Share with clients, free

Give each client a private Space and invite their people as guests, who are always free. Preview as guest shows exactly what they'll see.

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.

Forms and signatures

Share a form by link, and every answer becomes a task, sorted by your rules. Send a doc for signature and get back a sealed PDF, or ask a client to sign off on a task or milestone.

See it as a graph

Every task as a dot, linked to what it blocks and gathered by label. Watch the work grow in a time-lapse, download it as a video, or share a live link that keeps up.

Your own fields

Add the fields your work needs: numbers, choices, dates, people, links and more. Keep each to the Spaces and task types it belongs to, then filter, sort and chart by it like any other.

Sub-tasks and dependencies

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

Repeating tasks and templates

Tasks that come back on a schedule, and templates for the ones you make again and again.

AI that shows its work

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI assistant to the built-in MCP server with a key. It reads your work and changes only what you allow, acting as you, and every change it makes shows in Activity, so you can see exactly what it did.

Activity and a real Trash

Every change recorded: who, what and when, and filterable by person or action. Put a task’s edits back from the log, and restore deleted tasks, projects, docs and views from the Trash.

Instant, on the keyboard

Every change shows the moment you make it, everywhere it appears. Short key chords go anywhere and change anything - press ? to see them all.

Ways of working

Set it up the way your work runs

A workspace, its Spaces, projects and milestones fit together differently for a studio, a launch or one person. Here are four setups to start from.
