Help guide

How Think Projects works

Everything in the app, explained in 26 short sections with pictures — from setting up your first project to the keyboard shortcuts. The same guide is inside the app under Help.

01

Getting started

Signing in, the way the app is laid out, and the words we use.

02

Dashboard and My work

Where you land each morning, and the one list of everything on your plate.

03

Tasks across projects and saved views

One list of every task you can see, filtered any way you like, and kept as a view in the sidebar.

04

Projects

Creating projects, the tabs inside one, settings, templates and archiving.

05

Pages

The words around the work: the Overview and the pages under it, links that show as live chips, "Mentioned on", and live blocks that never go stale.

06

Meetings

Paste the agenda, take notes under each section as the meeting runs, turn any line into a task or a decision — and the minutes write themselves and go out to everyone.

07

Messages

Conversations on a project: posting, replying, mentions, reactions and the editor.

08

Tasks

Lists, subtasks, quick entry, the task drawer, tags, priorities, repeats and templates.

09

Board

The same tasks as cards in columns, for moving work along a flow.

10

Timeline and planning

The plan on a calendar: bars, links between tasks, milestones, the finish date, plan health and undo.

11

Insights

Progress and health, drawn from the work itself: your week, a project's pulse, and every project at a glance.

12

Workload

People down, weeks across: hours of planned work against the hours each person has.

13

Portfolio

Every live project on one line each: where the plan says it finishes, its milestones, and whether it needs a look.

14

Calendar and Inbox

The month view of everything dated, and where your notifications collect.

15

Files and Library

Every file in a project, and the Library of links, notes, emails and reference files.

16

Time tracking

Timers, logged hours, the Time tab and the CSV export.

17

Weekly status updates

A status update drafted for you from the week's activity, ready to top, tail and send.

18

People, companies and guests

Who is in the organisation, who is on a project, and how clients take part.

19

Client links

A read-only page for someone with no account — a client, the board, an investor — that you can turn off at any time.

20

Notifications and email

Pop-ups, emails, quiet hours, the Monday summary and replying by email.

21

Search

Finding anything — tasks, projects, messages, people, pages and the library — and the command palette.

22

Keyboard shortcuts

Every shortcut in one place — jumping around, making things, the task list, the editors.

23

Your settings

Profile, appearance, time off, calendar links, and keeping your account safe.

24

Admin and the organisation

People, companies, the working week, tags, templates, features, security, billing and data.

25

Importing from other tools

Bringing projects in from Teamwork, Trello, Asana, ClickUp or a spreadsheet.

26

On your phone

Installing the app on a phone, pop-ups, and sharing links, photos and text into a project.

Want to try it on your own work? Every feature on every plan, a 14-day trial, no card needed — and guests are always free.
