Assign work to people who aren't in the app yet
Plan with your whole team before anyone signs up. Add people by name as placeholder members, assign and track their work, and never pay for a seat that isn't logging in. When they're ready, promote them to a real login - and every task they were assigned stays attached.
From $1/user/month • No credit card required
What you get
Key capabilities
Everything you need from placeholder members, nothing you don't.
No Seat, No Signup
Add someone by name and assign them work immediately. They don't need an account or a paid seat.
Assign Like Anyone Else
Placeholder members get tasks, due dates, and assignments just like logged-in teammates.
Promote Later, History Intact
Invite a placeholder member to a real login anytime - all their past assignments and history carry over.
Bulk Import a Plan
Import projects, tasks, labels, and named people in one shot - no manual re-entry.
