Everything your research group needs

Kanban Board

Drag-and-drop task management with Todo, Doing, Done, and Blocked columns. Assign members, set due dates, and add labels.

Real-time messaging with @mentions, #task references, emoji reactions, threaded replies, pinning, and labels.

Document Sharing

Upload files and share links in a searchable document library. Attach files directly from messages.

Notifications

In-app notification center for @mentions and task assignments, with click-to-navigate and read/unread tracking.

Cross-page Navigation

Click #task references in messages to jump to the board. Click related messages in tasks to scroll right to them.
