Start from a kit or the brief
Three questions and about a minute. Six kits (essay or report, group report, thesis, startup, launch and client project) and a guided blank. Paste the brief and its items become the plan.
Features
Everything a project with a finish line needs
A goal and a deadline, a plan divided into parts that people own, tasks inside them, and a library of everything the project collects. Nothing more.
Today: what needs you
Across every project: reviews asked of you, changes to make, mentions and anything overdue come first, then this week and later. Each says why, with one button.
The project at a glance
The goal and deadline, how far the plan has come, your next step, who owns what, whether every item in the brief is covered, and what changed since you were last here.
The plan, as an outline, a board or a timeline
Parts, their tasks and the steps inside them, in an outline you can run from the keyboard. The board shows the tasks by status, grouped by part or by track, and the timeline draws each part as a strand with the checkpoints as knots. A part that waits for another says so until that one is done.
A page for each part
What the part is, who owns it, what it waits for, its tasks with their steps, the material linked to it, its review and its comments.
A library for everything the project collects
Files with versions and previews, sources with citations, notes in Markdown, and links to Google Docs, Figma or GitHub. New things land in the inbox until you sort them. Export the sources as BibTeX, RIS, APA or Harvard.
Divide it fairly
See each person's parts, open tasks and the hours they can give. A part or task with nobody on it gets a suggestion, with the reason.
Reviews that get closed
Ask someone to look at a part. They say it looks good or ask for changes, and open issues stay in sight until they're resolved.
Updates, decisions and check-ins
Discuss the project, write down what you decided, and answer a weekly check-in in under a minute: what you did, what's next, where you're stuck.
Your calendar and a quiet morning email
Your tasks, parts and deadlines by month, with a private feed for your own calendar. The morning email only comes when something needs you, and keeps to your quiet hours.
Short notes in your Discord server
Connect a channel and get a note when a part moves on, a review is asked for or a deadline is two days away. Never anyone's name, never a file's contents.
English and Swedish, light and dark, phone and desktop
Pick your language and theme. Everything works on a phone, with a keyboard and with a screen reader.
It works beside the tools you have
Writing stays in Word or Google Docs, chat stays in Discord, Slack or WhatsApp, and meetings stay in Teams or Meet. Belaywork links to them and keeps the files.
