Everything your team needs. Plus a teammate made of AI.

Boards, chat, video calls, voice notes, calendars, sketches and files — one live workspace, on the web and in your pocket. And woven through all of it: companions, AI teammates that take real work off your plate and show you everything they do.

What makes it different

AI in the open, not in a corner

Companions aren't a chat window bolted to the side. They hold cards, appear in presence, comment under their own name, and deliver real pull requests — teammates you can watch, not magic you have to trust.

It asks instead of guessing

When an agent is unsure, the question comes to you — on the board, the timeline, your phone — with one-press answers. You stay in charge without standing over anything.

One workspace, same doors for everyone

Your files, boards, tables and sketches live together and link to each other — and your agent walks through the same doors you do, with the same permissions. No copy-pasting context into a bot.

Plan

Boards that move at the speed of the team

Drag-and-drop taskboards that are truly live: teammates' changes, cursors and faces appear as they happen — no refreshing, no wondering who has the latest. Every card holds the whole story, and an AI-written TL;DR lets you skim a wall of cards in seconds.

  • Priorities, tags, due dates, assignees, subtasks, files and covers on every card
  • AI summaries on cards and long comment threads — skim first, dive when it matters
  • Carousel mode flips through the board one full card at a time
  • Paste a whole paragraph and it becomes a card, title picked out for you
  • Press ? and the board teaches you every key it knows
Delegate

AI teammates that do the work — where you can see them

Hand a card to a companion the way you'd hand it to a colleague. It picks the work up, does it for real — reads the brief, writes the code, opens the pull request — and everything it does is signed with its name, live on the board next to yours.

  • Watch any session live, steer it mid-run, or stop it with one press
  • Stuck agents ask instead of guessing — questions rise to you with one-press answers
  • Real delivery: branches, commits and pull requests on your repos
  • Share a session with a teammate and let them steer too
  • Schedule one, tag one in, or send one from a voice note
Speak

Say it out loud. Watch it become work.

Hold the search button and talk. HardlySimple transcribes it, pulls out the action items — who, what, when, in your own words — and files them as cards on the right board. Emptying your head no longer requires typing.

  • Record from anywhere, on web or phone — slide up to lock, hands-free
  • Every extracted to-do keeps the exact quote it came from
  • One tap files the keepers to a board, tagged with where they came from
  • The full transcript stays readable and searchable forever
Schedule

A calendar where work runs itself

Personal and team calendars with honest recurring events — and something new under the sun: put an agent on the clock. A point on the calendar is a prompt plus a time. At 9:00 Monday a real session starts, does the job, and leaves a paper trail. If a run needs a human, it turns amber and finds you.

  • Month and week views that stay readable on a phone
  • Schedule a card pickup: this task, this agent, every Monday at nine
  • An activity overlay shows where the work actually happened, coloured by team
  • Every run is recorded — what fired, what it did, and why when it couldn't
Catch up

Three days away, five minutes to catch up

The timeline lays every board across every team on one spine — created, moved, finished, said, day by day. Whatever needs a human runs on its own lane so it can't hide in the noise, and a triage deck flips you through it one card at a time until the list is empty.

  • One stream across all your teams — or filtered to exactly what you care about
  • Three ways to read the same days: a spine, day columns, or a graph
  • Needs-attention items get their own lane, their own deck, their own count
  • Reply, unblock or push a due date right from the deck — r to answer
Talk

From quick question to face-to-face in one tap

Team channels and direct messages with mentions that mean something — mention a card and it links, mention a person and they know. And when typing stops being enough, the call is one tap away: video, screen share, a shared sketch mid-call, and recording that announces itself.

  • Typing indicators, instant delivery and attachments, on web and phone
  • Calls ring your phone like a real call — and land in its call log
  • Share a sketch into the call and draw together, live
  • Recording is announced to everyone, and anyone can stop it
  • Camera-shy? An animated stand-in keeps you present without the lens
Draw

An infinite canvas, live for everyone

Sketch the idea while it's hot — boxes, arrows, handwriting, whatever thinking looks like today. Everyone draws on the same canvas at the same time, cursors and all. And the canvas listens: describe a change out loud and it redraws itself, undo included.

  • Real-time co-editing with live cursors and instant autosave
  • Talk to your sketch — describe the change, and “undo that” just works
  • Sketches attach to cards, live in databanks, and join calls
  • Folders, pins and tags keep the hundredth sketch as findable as the first
Remember

A shared memory for everything the team knows

Databanks hold the files. Knowledge bundles hold the understanding — living documents your agents read before they work and update as they learn. SimpleTables hold the structured stuff, like a spreadsheet that grew up. And everything links, so the card, the sketch, the file and the repo that belong together stay together.

  • Previews that respect the file — even code diffs render properly coloured
  • Knowledge bundles: the team's how-things-work, readable by people and agents
  • SimpleTable: records, fields and views without spreadsheet fragility
  • Link cards, sketches, tables and whole repositories into one place
Find

One box that knows everything — and everyone

One search across cards, boards, messages, files, sketches, tables, memos and people. It understands meaning, not just spelling, and before you even type it shows a pulse of what needs your attention. Type @ and it finds people — with faces, so two teammates with the same name are never a coin flip.

  • Search by meaning as well as by words
  • @ finds people; picking one opens the conversation
  • Before you type: what needs you, and what's new of every kind
  • On a call, search knows it — the call's own files and links come first
Carry

The whole workspace, in your pocket

Not a viewer — the real thing, as a native app. Boards you can edit, chat with calls that ring like calls, the agent console, voice memos, the calendar and search: all live, with the same warmth down to the beating heart in the corner. iPhone, Android, and a proper iPad layout.

  • Full write access: add cards, move work, edit everything
  • Calls ring the phone's own incoming-call screen and land in its call log
  • Watch and steer your agents from the bus
  • iPad gets the desktop posture — sidebar, grids, split-view chat
Connect

Bring your own agent — it gets the same keys you have

Claude, Cursor, or the bot you built yourself — anything that speaks MCP connects with one command and can suddenly do everything: read boards, file cards, draw sketches, update the knowledge, query tables. 183 tools, your permissions and no more, every action signed with its name.

  • One-command setup — paste it from /get-mcp and you're connected
  • 183 tools and counting, a number verified by tests rather than marketing
  • Agents see exactly what their owner can see — nothing more
  • Every agent action lands on the same audit trail as yours

And all of this, everywhere

The parts you stop noticing because they simply always work — which is exactly the point.

TL;DRs everywhere

Cards, comment threads, memos — anything long grows an AI summary, so you skim first and dive only where it matters.

Attention that finds you

Blocked cards, overdue work and agent questions rise — into rails, decks, badges and your dashboard — instead of waiting to be found.

Every action signed

People and agents alike: everything that happens is attributed on one audit trail. No mystery edits, ever.

Live, not refreshed

Boards, chat, presence, agent sessions — changes appear as they happen. The refresh button is decorative now.

Teams and personal space

Team workspaces with shared everything, plus a personal space that's yours. One switch moves your whole view between them.

GitHub, attached

Cards carry branches and pull requests with live status — and agent work lands as real PRs you review like any other.

An inbox that deep-links

Mentions, assignments and agent updates land in one inbox, and every row opens the exact thing it's about.

Keyboard-first

Boards, calendar, timeline and search all drive from the keys — and ? shows the whole map on every surface.

Accessible by design

Screen-reader labels, focus rings, reduced-motion fallbacks and honest contrast — the polish everyone benefits from.

Light and dark

One press flips the theme, and every surface — down to these little demos — is drawn for both.

Sign in with Google

No new password to invent, leak or forget. Your Google account is the key, on web and on the phone.

Deploy-proof agents

A release hands running sessions to the next runner mid-thought. Your agent finishes the job; it doesn't start over.

Simple is Hard. That's the point.

We sweat the small stuff so your team doesn't have to. Bring the people; the companions are already here.
