Kanban project boards

Tasks sit on boards with customizable sections and carry attachments, comments, due dates, tags and watchers. The Basic plan allows 3 projects.

Notes knowledge base

Shared notes are built from content blocks, grouped into folders and written together in real time. Basic allows 5 notes; paid plans have no limit.

Timeline views

Tasks or projects can be laid out on a Gantt timeline to show deadlines, overlaps and dependencies. Timeline is included from the Business plan.

Reports and time tracking

Every plan has 5 preset reports and built-in time tracking on tasks. Custom reports and a per-member team overview are added on Business.

Meister AI

AI features search the notes knowledge base and help with writing. Each request uses one credit: 20 a month on Basic, 75 on Pro and 350 on Business.

Automations and recurring tasks

From the Pro plan, tasks can repeat automatically and automations take over routine workflow steps. Pro also opens the API and third-party integrations.
