Quire

Nested task list

Tasks break down into subtasks with no limit on depth on every plan, and sublists give each person a focused slice of the main list.

Kanban board

The same tasks can be arranged on a board and moved through statuses. The free plan allows 5 task statuses per project and Professional 25.

Timeline and other views

Professional adds a Gantt-style timeline with task dependencies, plus table, calendar, dashboard and insight views. Premium adds a schedule view grouped by day.

Time tracking and Pomodoro

From Professional, time can be logged against tasks and summarized in time reports, with a built-in Pomodoro timer. Timesheets need Premium.

External teams and shared links

On paid plans, outside collaborators can be limited to the tasks assigned to them, and a project can be shared with clients through a public link that needs no signup.

Documents, chat and integrations

Projects hold documents and chat channels, and every plan lists Slack, Microsoft Teams, GitHub, Zapier, n8n and Google Drive integrations plus the Quire MCP and CLI.
