General settings
Workspace name, branding and defaults, set once per organization.
Every feature, explained plainly
Four products' worth of features that share one brain and one database.
Tenon is deliberately broad. Below is everything it does today, grouped the way your team will actually use it. Every item links to a page that explains what it is, why you'd want it, and what it looks like on a Tuesday afternoon.
See the work, move the work, finish the work.
Projects & work tracking
Kanban boards, timelines, hill charts and analytics, so every project has one honest picture of where it stands.
Projects with real settings
Each project has its own status, members and settings. Archive it, rename it, hand it to another team, and nothing else breaks.
Kanban board
Drag tickets between custom columns. Name the columns whatever your process is actually called.
Tickets that carry context
Priority, assignee, due dates, custom fields and a rich description with images and checklists. No more "see the doc".
Timeline view
Schedule work on a horizontal timeline, draw dependencies, and spot the week where three things collide.
Hill charts
Track whether a piece of work is still being figured out or already being executed. Progress, not just percent-complete.
Todo lists
Lightweight checklists inside a project for the small stuff that never deserved a ticket.
Project analytics
Burndown charts, team workload, circular progress, health stat cards and AI-generated status reports.
Custom fields
Org-defined fields on tickets and pages: a "Customer" dropdown, a "Story points" number, a "Region" tag.
Document import
Drop a Word or PDF file and it becomes a page you can edit, link and search.
Global search
One search box across projects, pages and tickets. Press a shortcut, type, jump.
Write it once, next to the work it describes.
Pages & docs
A Notion-style editor, an infinite canvas, backlinks and sharing: documents that live inside projects instead of in a separate app.
Notion-style editor
Headings, tables, task lists, images, embeds, color and highlight, sub/superscript and slash commands. Built on Tiptap.
Icons for every page
Give a page an icon so it is recognisable in the sidebar, in search and in chat.
Page linking & backlinks
Link pages to each other. The Linked Pages panel shows what points here, so nothing gets orphaned.
Infinite canvas
Freeform text notes and diagrams on an endless surface, with its own toolbar and full-screen mode.
@-mentions with peek
Mention a teammate inside a document; a peek modal previews who or what you referenced.
Sharing, inside and out
Share within the workspace, or generate a public link for a client or vendor who will never log in.
My Pages
Every page you own across every project, in one list.
Import Word & PDF
Bring the old spec with you. Mammoth and pdf.js turn files into editable pages.
Built-in product manual
An in-app manual at /docs/manual with callouts, tables, shortcuts and feature lists.
Conversations that end in decisions, not scrollback.
Chat & collaboration
Real-time channels and DMs with reactions, attachments, page cards, polls, decision records and async standups.
Channels and DMs
Real-time messaging with reactions, hover actions and read receipts. Familiar on day one.
Attachments
Upload files, preview images inline, and link files or pages into a conversation.
Page link cards
Share a page into chat and it renders a rich preview, not a naked URL.
Polls
Ask the room, count the votes, move on.
Decision cards
Propose a decision inline, record who agreed, and find it again six months later.
Async standups
Configurable standups with a submission modal and an AI-generated summary card. No 9:15 meeting required.
Notifications
An in-app notification panel, plus admin broadcasts from the superadmin panel when everyone needs to know.
An assistant that has actually read your workspace.
Brain, the AI assistant
A floating assistant that knows your projects and tickets, drafts work for you, writes the morning briefing, and runs on the AI provider you choose.
Workspace-wide assistant
A floating chat available on every screen, with streaming responses and a typing indicator.
Workspace-aware context
Brain can see projects and tickets, and flags tickets that have sat idle for three or more days.
Morning briefing
An AI-generated daily summary so the first ten minutes of your day are not spent hunting.
Draft ticket cards
Describe a problem in conversation; Brain proposes tickets you can accept with one click.
AI executive summary
A real generated report on the insights dashboard, with proper errors if AI is not configured, never a canned paragraph.
Standup digest
The standup cron job writes a readable digest of everyone's updates instead of a raw list.
Bring your own provider
No AI key is hardcoded. Superadmins choose Google Gemini or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including self-hosted models.
One shared AI layer
Chat and cron jobs route through a single edge-function abstraction, so every feature uses the provider you configured.
Org-wide answers without a status meeting.
Workspace insights
Portfolio health, resource heatmaps, C-suite metrics and an AI executive summary across every project in the organization.
Portfolio health table
Every project's health in one table, including a stuck-ticket flag for work idle three or more days.
Resource heatmap
Who is overloaded, who has room, across projects, not just inside one.
C-suite metrics
The handful of numbers leadership actually asks for, kept current automatically.
AI executive summary
A generated narrative of what moved, what stalled and what needs a decision.
Burndown & workload
Per-project burndown charts and team workload charts feed the org-level view.
Tenant isolation enforced by the database, not by hope.
Auth, security & SSO
Row Level Security on every table, SAML and OIDC single sign-on, session control and activity logs, on Tenon Cloud or infrastructure you run.
Email, password & Google
Supabase Auth (GoTrue) handles email/password sign-in plus Google OAuth out of the box.
Row Level Security everywhere
Org-scoped, superadmin-aware policies on every table. A query cannot return another tenant's rows, even if application code has a bug.
SAML & OIDC identity providers
Add identity providers per workspace with a setup-instructions drawer and copyable config fields.
Active sessions
See where you are signed in and revoke any session with one click.
Activity log
A per-user log of what happened, when.
Password & security settings
Change-password flow and general security settings without a support ticket.
Onboarding tour
A guided welcome and tooltips for new users, with progress saved per section.
Extend it, automate it, verify it.
Developer features
A public REST API with API keys, HMAC-signed webhooks with retries, custom fields and deployment self-tests.
Public REST API
API-key authenticated endpoints (currently GET /v1/me and GET /v1/users), managed from Developer Settings.
Signed webhooks
Subscribe endpoints to user.created, user.updated, user.deleted, member.added and member.removed. HMAC-SHA256 signatures, exponential-backoff retries, a delivery log with sample payloads.
Custom fields manager
Org admins define fields for tickets and pages without a migration.
Test-email function
Verify your SMTP or email provider from inside the app.
RLS self-test
An edge function that proves tenant isolation is working on your deployment.
Settings & customisation
The unglamorous features that make it yours.
Team members
Invite by email, assign roles, remove access. Invites go out through your own email configuration.
Profiles
User profile settings plus workspace-level profile fields.
Notification preferences
Each person decides what deserves an interruption.
Focus mode & slim sidebar
Collapse the chrome when you need to think. Dark and light themes included.
Global search
A modal that jumps to any project, page or ticket from anywhere.
