Features
by the next kickoff, the plan will already be reading itself.
Six capabilities do the heavy lifting in Bramble: boards that speak your workflow, timelines that follow their dependencies, standups written while you sleep, a heatmap that spots overload early, a keyboard that reaches everything and an inbox that stays quiet. Each one is shown below, in the product, with the same Lantern launch project you met on the home page.
Task boards
stages named the way your team talks
A board is only useful if its columns match the work. Bramble lets every board carry its own workflow, so a content board can run Brief, Draft, Legal check, Live while an engineering board runs Backlog, In build, In review, Done. Move a card and its status, its owner’s inbox and the timeline all change together.
Comments, files and the argument that led to the decision stay on the card, in order, with the person who wrote each line.
Start from a template, rename the stages in Settings, and import cards from Asana or GitHub into whichever column fits.
Timelines
a schedule that is allowed to update
Link one task to the next and your dates become a chain. Slip Legal sign-off by two days and every task downstream slides with it, unless it has slack to absorb the change. The proposed moves wait for your approval, so nothing shifts behind anyone’s back.
Milestones hold their place until the chain says otherwise, and the timeline tells you plainly when launch day can no longer hold.
Draw a dependency in the task drawer or drag one bar onto another. Review the ripple, approve once, and the board follows.
Async standups
the standup that writes itself up
Each teammate answers three short prompts at a sensible hour in their own morning: what shipped, what is next, what is in the way. Bramble gathers the replies into one digest, lifts blockers to the top and links each line back to its card.
Managers read a single page over coffee. Teammates in three time zones never join a call just to say “still working on it”.
Pick prompt times per person, choose where the digest posts, and keep the live call for the decisions the digest flags.
Workload heatmaps
overload, seen a fortnight early
The heatmap sets every teammate against every week and colors each cell by booked hours against capacity. A red square on the 16th is a conversation you can have on the 2nd, not an apology on the 17th.
Click a cell and the tasks behind it open. Bramble suggests who has room, and one click reassigns the task without leaving the view.
Set each person’s weekly hours once, including part-time weeks and leave. The arithmetic updates as estimates change.
Command palette
every action, one shortcut away
Press ⌘K from anywhere and type what you mean. “Move to in rev” finds the stage, “assign hana” finds the teammate, and the Return key does the rest. The palette knows which card you are on, so commands apply to it without a single menu.
Triage a Monday inbox with the keyboard alone: assign, date, move, next. Every command shows its own shortcut so the palette teaches you out of needing it.
Inbox
a quiet inbox that only speaks when it matters
Notifications are the first thing a distributed team learns to ignore. Bramble’s inbox shows only what touches you: a card assigned, a date moved on something you own, a reply in a thread you joined. Everything else stays on its card.
Select several rows and clear, snooze or hand them on in a single move.
Pick a daily delivery hour and read the whole inbox once, rather than being pulled out of focus all afternoon.
Six capabilities, three plans

security and integrations, stated plainly
who changed what, and when
Canopy workspaces keep an audit log of every permission change, export and sign-in, so an administrator can answer a question in one search.
SSO and audit logs are part of Canopy. Read-only viewers never count toward a plan’s member limit.

built to stay out of your way
A planning tool should be the calmest thing on your screen. These are the behaviors we hold Bramble to, written as commitments rather than percentages.
