Table

Planning has never moved this quickly. Hold your work in a table with a column for anything you actually track — owners, dates, state, effort. Select a run of rows to edit them together, and press Tab to open a child item underneath.

Board

Read the state of a project in a single glance, with columns you define and grouping that goes as deep as you need. Drag a handful of items across at once, and open new work straight from the column you are already looking at.

Schedule

Get the shape of a month for your team or a single project without opening a spreadsheet. Plan ahead, agree on hand-off days with the people who care, and read effort at a glance. Open new work by dragging across the days it should occupy.

Timeline

Lay out a clear run of work so the pinch points show themselves before they cost you a release. Nudge dates in place, colour and label each band, and stretch the scale until the stretch you care about fills the frame.

Talk it through where the work lives

Threads

Keep the conversation attached to the thing it is about.

Discussion with an address

Work items are precise by nature, so arguing them out in place keeps everyone pointed at the same thing. Every message stays searchable months later.

Wired to your tools

Watch changes arrive from the other systems your team lives in — repositories, ticket queues, support desks.

Scope
Two things keep coming back from the field: exports stall past forty rows, and the shared filter resets on reload. Both belong in this release.

Real formatting

Headings, code fences, reactions, mentions, link previews and more.

Answer a fragment

Quote one message, or one line of it, so the context travels with the reply.

Media in place

Drop in stills, screen captures, design files, recorded walkthroughs.

Who has read it

See at a glance which teammates are already caught up.

Every note a colleague leaves you turns into a tracked item, so nothing quietly falls out of the release.

Keep every detail on the item

Item

Organise the work by keeping everything it needs in the same place. An item carries its whole record — from the first rough idea, through the calls made along the way, to the moment it ships.

Items stay tightly scoped: only the people actually involved get pinged about changes, the full history travels with them, they surface easily through lists and fields, and they report status upward without anyone writing a summary.

Fields

  • From queued to landed

    Move a state, or just tick the box beside the item, and everyone watching finds out.

  • More than one owner

    Put every person carrying part of the work on the record.

  • More than one list

    File work into lists such as “defects”, “insights-crew” or “autumn-launch”. One item can live in many at once, which is what makes cross-team work bearable.

  • Whatever else you measure

    Build your own fields for cycles, urgency, hand-off dates, design lead, or the work that is holding this work up.

Threads in place

  • Genuinely good to write in

    Argue the work out live using clips, stills, animations, real formatting, highlighted code, mentions, quoted replies and reactions.

  • Proof it landed

    Know that the people who need the decision have actually seen it, without a round of chasing messages.

  • Pull the other systems in

    Bridge your repository, ticket queue or support desk into Groveline so everyone on an item stays level. Reach for the API and event hooks to wire up your own routines and post updates back to the team. Browse every connection

this reads much better now
Write a message…

Write-up

  • Real prose

    Give the work its background with clips, stills, animations, proper formatting, highlighted code and links.

  • Nothing gets lost

    The moment you start writing, the text is held in your inbox as a draft you can come back to and post whenever.

  • Roll it back

    Read any earlier version of a write-up and restore the one that said it best.

Child items

  • Not a lesser object

    A child item in Groveline behaves exactly like any other one — its own fields, its own thread, its own write-up. It can land while its parent is still underway, and it can belong to somebody else entirely.

  • Fold and unfold

    Close every child item in a list at once, or open them one at a time as you work through.

  • Nesting you can read

    See how parents and children relate through indentation, or flatten the whole tree into one plain list.

Nothing hides for long

Query anything

Find one item, or every item that matches a shape you describe, by combining field filters with search across the full text.

Living lists

Save a filter as a list that fills itself: everything underway right now, or everything assigned to a person that nobody has touched since last month.

Bring outsiders in, carefully

Sharing

Open particular lists and items to clients and contractors so they can work alongside you. Fine-grained permissions make sharing progress, and handing off work to people outside the company, straightforward.

Guests reach only what you name for them, and they cannot change how your workspace is set up.
