Pages & docs
A Notion-style editor, an infinite canvas, backlinks and sharing: documents that live inside projects instead of in a separate app.
Explore
See the work, move the work, finish the work.
Project management that tells you the truth about where things stand.
Kanban boards, timelines with dependencies, hill charts for the messy middle, and analytics that write their own status report. Every ticket carries its context, and Tenon flags anything that has quietly stopped moving.
Why it matters
Most project tools show you a board. Few tell you what's stuck.
A board is great for the daily "what am I doing next?" question. It is terrible at the weekly "are we actually on track?" question, because a card sitting in In progress for nine days looks exactly like one that moved there this morning.
Tenon gives you the board and the other views the board can't answer: a timeline for sequencing and dependencies, hill charts that separate "still figuring it out" from "just executing", and analytics (burndown, workload, health cards) that surface problems before the retro does.
Then it goes one step further. Any ticket idle for three or more days is flagged as stuck, in the board, in the portfolio health table and in the AI assistant. Nobody has to notice; it's noticed for you.
What you get
Projects, item by item.
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.
Views for every altitude
The day, the month, and the honest middle.
Different questions need different pictures of the same work. Tenon keeps them in sync because they are literally the same tickets.
Board: for today
Drag a ticket, assign it, set a priority. Columns are yours to name: "Waiting on client", "In QA", "Blocked by legal".
Timeline: for the month
Lay work out across weeks, connect dependencies, and see the week where three deliverables collide before it arrives.
Hill chart: for the truth
Every piece of work climbs a hill: uphill is uncertainty, downhill is execution. A dot stuck on the left side for two weeks is a conversation, not a status.
Todo lists
For the small stuff that never deserved a ticket.
Every person gets a My Tasks list, and every project gets lightweight todo lists: due dates, reminders, done. No columns, no ceremony.
- Personal and per-projectYour own list, plus checklists inside projects.
- Reminders, not naggingSet a date; it shows up in Up Next on your home screen.
- Promote when it growsA todo that turns into real work becomes a ticket in one click.
A Tuesday afternoon with Tenon
A sprint check-in that takes four minutes instead of forty.
It's 2pm. Maya opens the Mobile app v3 board. Two cards carry the stuck flag: a payment screen that has been "in review" since Thursday and a bug that nobody picked up. She drags the bug to Aisha, adds a due date, and drops a comment.
She flips to the hill chart: the offline-sync work is still uphill after two weeks; the team hasn't figured out the conflict strategy. That's the real agenda item for tomorrow. She flips to analytics, sees the burndown is slightly behind, and clicks Generate status report. Brain writes three paragraphs from the actual ticket data. She edits one sentence, pastes it into the #leadership channel as a page card, and goes back to work.

Questions
Common questions.
Can I customise the board columns?
Yes. Each project defines its own columns. Add, rename, reorder or remove them; tickets keep their history when columns change.
What is a hill chart and why would I use one?
A hill chart plots each piece of work on a curve. The left (uphill) side means the team is still working out how to do it; the right (downhill) side means the approach is known and it is being executed. It makes uncertainty visible, which percent-complete never does.
What counts as a "stuck" ticket?
Any open ticket with no update (no status change, comment or edit) for three or more days. The flag shows on the board, in the portfolio health table and to the Brain assistant.
Can I add my own fields to tickets?
Yes. Org admins define custom fields (text, number, select and more) that appear on tickets and pages across the organization.
Can I import existing work?
Pages can be imported from Word and PDF today. For ticket imports from other trackers, the REST API and webhooks are the intended path; talk to us about migration help on Team and Enterprise editions.
