A calmer way to run busy work
Threadwork brings tasks, conversations and time tracking together so your team stops switching tools.
Start freeOrganise
Threadwork is built on structures — a Context → Layer → Item model you shape to fit your team. Run software projects out of the box, or model clients, notebooks, departments or anything else. Workspaces and projects are simply the built-in project-management structure.
01
Model work the way your team actually thinks: nested layers of items with a typed schema (text, number, date, yes/no, person or select fields), seen as a board, tree, grid or records. One Airtable-style meta-model bends to project management, a CRM, a knowledge base or an org chart alike.
See the guide02
The ready-made project-management structure — workspaces for each team or client, projects inside with their own ref prefix (PM-12) and workflow. It's just one structure: use it as-is, or build your own alongside it.
See the guide03
The heart of Threadwork — a task and its conversation in one place. Assignee, due date, priority and stage on a single screen.
See the guide04
Write updates as blocks, Notion-style. Reply in chains, pin what matters, and let throwaway notices auto-clear unless the team engages — keeping the discussion next to the work.
See the guide05
Switch context from anywhere and open it as a board, tree, grid or your saved record views — drill through layers, drag-and-drop, multi-select, pin and resolve, with breadcrumbs and a 'you are here' rail. Reports and time tracking scope to any structure too.
See the guide06
Let the board take the next step: when a record is resolved, clear its tags; when it's tagged WIP, move it to In Progress in its own project; when it's overdue, make it Urgent. Build rules by dragging When / If / Then blocks — your own, or organisation-wide ones admins set for everyone — and a message tells you each time one runs.
See the guide07
A step-by-step wizard builds your structure for you — pick a ready-made template (project management, note taking, org management) or start blank, tailor the layers, and you're up and running in seconds.
See the guideCollaborate
Conversations live inside the work, not in a separate chat app. Mentions, reactions and a focused Updates inbox mean nothing important gets lost.
@-mention people and they get a tidy, dismissible Update — separate from the tasks they still need to resolve. The same @ menu also links straight to a task, workspace or project, or drops in a date like “tomorrow”.
React with an emoji, give kudos for great work, or flag a concern about a risky practice — right on the post.
Two clear counters — Tasks assigned to you and Updates you've been mentioned in. Your tasks group by due date (Overdue first) and filter by priority, so your day starts focused.
Assign departments and roles, build user tags, and control who can see which workspace, project or thread.
Spin up a lightweight room for a huddle or topic, pull the right people in, and close it when you're done.
Track
Define how work flows, then view it your way — a kanban board, a list, grouped and filtered however your team thinks.
01
Build the stages work moves through (Backlog → Done), and choose whether they must run in sequence.
See the guide02
Drag threads across a board by stage, group them by tag, or work a sortable list. Filter by stage, tag, assignee or priority — or multi-select cards and resolve, re-prioritise, reassign, tag, untag or move them in bulk.
See the guide03
Priority and Status come built in; add your own categories. Filter and count by tag, then save the combination as a one-click view.
See the guide04
Find any workspace, project, thread, room or teammate in a keystroke and jump straight to it.
See the guideMeasure
Clockify-style time tracking and budgets built in — log time against a thread, approve what's billable, and report against budget.
Start a timer on any thread, or log time after the fact. Your Time page groups entries by day with running subtotals, and the active timer sits at the top of the screen.
Mark time billable, approve the portion that can be charged, and see logged vs approved at a glance.
Give each project an hours and/or cost (£) budget, set a team hourly rate, and watch progress turn red the moment you're over. Add subcontractor costs against the budget, and let team members request a change for an owner or admin to approve.
Break down time by workspace, project, person, thread and tag — logged, billable, approved and its £ value — for progress reports and billing.
Run your team
Notifications, secure sign-in and sensible defaults so your team can get to work on day one.
01
A header bell for mentions, assignments, replies, kudos and flags — and follow any thread to get its updates. Mute the types you don't want.
See the guide02
Every new team starts with a ready-made workflow and the Priority & Status tag categories.
See the guide03
Invite by email; people accept or decline on their own terms. Belong to more than one team and switch between them in a click.
See the guide04
Magic link, password, Google/Microsoft/Apple or a passkey (Face ID / Touch ID), with email verification.
See the guide05
Resolving a thread and giving kudos keep momentum visible — work feels like progress, not a backlog.
