Drag-and-drop Kanban
Lanes for status you actually use — drag cards between them without a status meeting. No Jira ceremonies, no custom workflows to configure.
Virtual Office · Planning
The planning board that fills itself
Notion, Linear, and Trello all ship you an empty board and wait for you to log the work. Maniana's Planning is fed by every other room in the office — Support calls, Frontdesk emails, Marketing threads, app releases — because they all live in the same platform. Board, list, and calendar over one graph. Nothing to sync.

What it does
Three views. One truth. Zero syncing.
Board for status, list for triage, calendar for scheduling — all over the same underlying tasks. Change something in one view, it's updated in the others before you blink.
List view for the details
Filter, sort, and edit fields inline. Perfect for triage sessions when you need to look at 40 items in one screen instead of clicking through 40 cards.
Calendar tied to real dates
Every task has a real date. See the week, the month, or the quarter. No fake milestones drifting in a separate roadmap tool.
One work graph, every office room
Support flags an issue → it's a card. Sales promises a demo → it's on the calendar. Marketing schedules a launch → it's on the board. No copy-paste.
How it works
From zero to a running board in under a minute
01
Open Planning
It ships empty and ready. No project templates to pick, no schema to configure. Just an empty board with lanes you can rename.
02
Drop your first tasks
Type them, paste them from a doc, or let Frontdesk/Support surface them from real conversations. Every task gets a date, an owner, and a lane.
03
Work the board
Drag cards across lanes as work moves. Flip to List to triage, Calendar to schedule. Whatever view suits the moment.
Why it's different
Every other board starts empty. This one comes pre-loaded — from your own office.
Notion, Linear, Jira, Trello, ClickUp — they're all excellent empty containers. The problem was never the container. The problem is that the work happens in Slack, on calls, in your inbox, in customer conversations — and the board never catches up. Planning inside Maniana catches up automatically, because Support, Frontdesk, and Marketing all live in the same platform and drop tasks straight onto the board.
Tasks come to you
Support call flags a bug? It's a card. Inbound email needs follow-up? It's a card. You don't have to log the work — the office does it for you.
No project-management theatre
No sprints, no story points, no epics-to-features-to-tasks hierarchy. Just work, with dates and owners. Zero ceremony.
Real dates, not phantom milestones
The calendar is a real calendar. Deadlines slip? You see it. Nothing hidden in a separate roadmap that quietly drifts.
Currently paying for Notion?
Why solo founders don't need Notion for a SaaS roadmap
Notion is a great thinking canvas. It's the wrong tool for a roadmap when the same AI that reads your inbox and takes your support calls can fill the board itself.
Give the status meeting back its hour
A board that fills itself, three views over one truth, real dates. Set up in under a minute, working because the whole office is in the same place.
