Powerful GitHub & GitLab integrations
- Keep tasks up-to-date automatically
Whenever a commit, a branch, or a pull request is updated, you can choose to update the linked tasks with a specified status.
- Sync comments
Non-technical people can know what’s happening on GitHub or GitLab without an account.
- Auto-generated branch names
Start developing your feature by creating a branch that’s going to be automatically linked to the task.
Zero learning curve
Seamlessly onboard new coworkers: people new to project management will immediately feel at ease with lists that look and feel like spreadsheets.
Designed for managers and ICs
Individual contributors will feel at home with their Assigned to me list to track todos and their Inbox to stay on top of notifications.
Smart filters and lists
Power users will love using Height’s dynamic filters to find all tasks that fit the criteria set. Filter your tasks to find all the design tasks due within the next month, or see all the high priority projects across the entire company in one view. You can even save these searches as smart lists to come back to again and again.
Free workspace guests
Collaborate on tasks and projects with guests, including contractors and clients, effortlessly. Guests can create and edit tasks, contribute to the conversation, and get visibility into the state of the project all in the same place as your own team — and can be invited to join your workspace at no cost!
