Visualize and manage tasks
Spreadsheet
Project management has never been faster. Track your todos in a spreadsheet, with columns for everything you care about: assignees, due dates, status, etc. Select multiple tasks to batch edit them and use familiar keyboard shortcuts like Tab to create subtasks.
Kanban board
Visualize the state of your tasks & projects in one clear board, with editable columns and powerful subsectioning. Drag and drop multiple tasks from one column to another and easily add new tasks right from your board.
Calendar
Get the lay of the land for your team or project from a bird’s-eye view. Plan ahead and coordinate with key stakeholders on due dates and estimates. Seamlessly create new tasks and manage them with drag & drop.
Gantt
Create clear timelines of work to be done, making it easy to spot inefficiencies that put projects at risk of slipping. Set and adjust dates inline, pick colors and icons for tasks, and control the time scale to see what you need with ease. Learn more
Discuss in context, in real-time
Chat
Keep conversations focused on work.
Status updates
Keep a papertrail of the full lifecycle of a task, and get notified about updates you care about.
Messages in context
Tasks are inherently precise and specific, so discussing them inline keeps people focused. Messages are also easily searchable and retrievable.
Integrations
See updates from your team’s other key tools, like GitHub, GitLab, Zendesk, …
Rich messages
Messages support markdown, code blocks, emojis, mentions, unfurls, and more.
Inline replies
Reply to a message or part of a message to keep context.
Inline media
Embed images, videos, Figma files, Loom recordings, …
Read statuses
Keep the team in sync, and know when they are up-to-date.
Centralize information in tasks
Task
Organize your work better by keeping all the information you need in one place. Tasks track all the history, from the beginning of an idea, to key decisions made along the way, to the completion of the fully executed work.
Our tasks keep work well-scoped: only the people involved are notified about updates, they contain the full history of task state, can be easily found using lists and attributes, and communicate status to stakeholders to use for planning ahead.
Attributes
- From “To Do” to “Done”
Keep your team up-to-date by changing the task status, or by simply clicking the checkbox next to your task.
- Multiple assignees
Assign all the people working on a task to it.
- Multiple lists
Organize tasks in lists like “bugs”, “analytics-team”, or “project-launch”. Tasks can appear in many lists so it’s easy to work across projects, teams, and orgs.
- …and any other attribute you care about
Create custom attributes to track things like sprints, priority, due dates, design lead, and blocking tasks.
Chat in context
- World-class experience
Discuss work in real-time using videos, images, gifs, markdown formatting, code highlighting, mentions, replies, and reactjis.
- Read receipts
Make sure all stakeholders are up-to-date with the conversation without back-and-forth DMs.
- Pull data from integrations
Connect GitHub, GitLab, or Zendesk to Height to keep all the stakeholders of a task in sync. Use our API & webhooks or Zapier to create automations and send updates to the team. See all integrations
Description
- Rich-text
Share the context of your task, using videos, images, gifs, markdown formatting, code highlighting, and links.
- Drafts
As you start writing a description, it gets auto-saved as a draft in Inbox to come back to and post whenever.
- Restore previous versions
View previous versions of your description and restore earlier versions as needed.
Subtasks
- First-class citizens
Subtasks in Height are just like regular tasks — they can have their own attributes, chat messages, and descriptions. A subtask can be marked as done even when the parent task is still marked as in progress, and can have their own assignees.
- Collapse & expand
Collapse all subtasks in a list or individually expand and collapse them.
- Task-subtask hierarchy
See the relationship between tasks and subtasks with indentation, or view all tasks as a flattened list.
Increased visibility of your projects
Powerful search
Find specific tasks or a set of tasks that meet your criteria, using both filters and full-text search.
Smart lists
Create lists of dynamically pulled filters: a smart list to track all tasks in progress or one to track tasks that are assigned to someone and haven’t been touched in more than a month.
Invite guests to collaborate
Share
Invite clients and contractors to specific lists and tasks to collaborate on. Fine-grained permissions make sharing progress and delegating work to external people simple.
Guests only have access to the tasks you specify, and can’t make changes to your workspace settings.
