Work together without chasing status

Talk where the work is. Comments, project chat, and reviews live next to the tasks they are about, and everyone sees changes as they happen.

  • Project chatA channel per project; any message can be linked to a task and shows in its timeline.
  • Live updatesChanges to tasks, the graph, and proposals reach everyone in under a second.
  • PresenceSee who is looking at the same task or graph.
  • Review hand-offSend a task to a reviewer, who approves it or sends it back with an issue and screenshots.
  • NotificationsAn in-app inbox and email for mentions, assignments, proposals, and risks, with preferences per type.

How it works

Every flow in Keel follows one loop: a signal becomes a risk, a risk becomes a proposal, and only an approval changes the plan.

See the full loop

  1. Discuss a task in comments or project chat.
  2. Link the messages that matter to the task.
  3. Hand it to a reviewer when it is ready.
  4. The reviewer approves or sends it back with screenshots.
  5. Everyone sees the change live.

Team collaboration questions

Can I link a chat message to a task?

Yes. Linked messages appear in the task timeline, and Keel can use them as evidence for proposals.

How do reviews work?

Hand a task to a reviewer. They approve it, or send it back with a description of the issue and screenshots.

Can I choose which notifications I get?

Yes. Preferences are set per notification type, for the inbox and email.
