This looks like a great productivity & project management tool! Even after testing most software out there I still haven't really found the perfect fit for our team. Something I always struggle with is that clients use their own tools and don't want to learn anything new. I'd love to hear how Ora tackles that problem: are there any integrations with existing tools like slack, skype chat, google calendar etc. It would be so cool if there was a tool where let's say internally we work with Ora but the client could use his own ecosystem and still get all the notifications & could access things from his preferred tools. This incompatibility is the main reason we keep going back to google drive, sheets and docs & skype chat. People just don't want to go through the whole learning curve.

@e_reder You read my mind! I would love for a way to connect my team's internal project management/productivity suite with that of a client's. It's hard to get external people to use the same tools as my team, and vice versa. It's a constant barrier. A tool that allows different teams to work together and while using the tools they already use and like would be a godsend.

soooo, I've been testing Ora over the last few days and am starting to find my way around. 1 piece of feedback: I find it hard to add to-do's. It's not very intuitive & the feature is hidden. Every time I hit "my tasks" I get to the inbox (only for assigned tasks). If I hit the Plus button it only let's me add projects. I find myself clicking around to finally find the add task button in my projects.

Love the interface on this!

My Awwwsome team has switched to Ora from Asana three weeks ago. I can't find a single dissapointed person :) For us it's a perfect balance between JIRA and Asana, which we already tested. UI is great and intuitive. There are a few rough edged though, but I believe that the Ora team will polish them really soon. Amazing job guys!

Looks incredibly well-designed @yanev_n, @uffou, and @dimitarnestorov! Agree with the calendar... BUT this is an awesome tool!

Testing it since yesterday! I Love the Userinterface, but the Projects must have a calender mode. Otherwise it will be not long our object of love.. ;)

Played with it this afternoon & really love what I see. At face value, interface is friendly (a little bit of - IMO - unnecessary complexity on the Task objects, but overall very nice). But as you dig, you uncover structural genius that solves common problems most task managers don't address. Each 'task' card exists within the project, but also within your own personal space, where you can see & update cards across all projects. My favorite feature thus far is easily the 'Plan My Week' space, where you can visually organize your tasks across the week (which, of course, updates the due dates in the projects that each task belongs to). Great vision & looks like a really beautiful product so far. It's a tad bit slow in Opera, which might annoy some people. Can't wait to see chat & the mobile apps! EDIT: grammar plz!

Nice design :) a few days ago I asked about to-do lists and time-management apps. And today I found you. I'm exactly going to try.

We use it at Futurist Labs for our team and really like it.

Certainly a fresh air in that crowded space. Was looking for an alternate to Trello. Tried Asana, gave up for it being complicated once you have some 50+ tasks in a project under different headings. They should rethink the layout and make it easy than to fight with the tool. Tried Favro, felt a lot better but still couldn't get a unified view of activities/tasks across projects and clearly felt something was missing, even though it's a lot better tool among the crowd. Ora seem closer to a winner in this segment provided they roll out their mobile and other platform apps the sooner they can. Everything says coming soon...and that sounds scary for now given these days not many sit in front of a computer to plan or update their tasks. Also, a good About page would give us a better understanding of what to expect from the team there. Overall felt good trying, if they can tighten these little loose ends.

I love Ora! They have everything you could possibly need for project management and more. Ora has a great UI and UX; although, it can take some time getting acclimated to all of the features. The system runs very fast. Plus, I love the ability to chat with my team and clients without needing to use another platform. I'm really looking forward to chat being added to the mobile app too!

To-do list : - Subscribe - Chill :)
Jevin Sew
Yes yes yes! At last an app that syncs with other project management tools. I hope the site is as slick as looks!
Deepak Manoharan
Looks awesome.. Searchera is moving to Ora !
Marko Radak
Looks like a really great start, but I'd say there's a long way until this could be fully utilized in a production... It feels pretty ruff around the edges, once you actually start using it... Hope that the update frequency will pick up :)
Nikolay Yanev
@iammarkoradak Hey Marko, we plan frequent updates. Can you share with us what do you want to be polished?
Marko Radak
@yanev_n Sure thing, I'll sum it up and post here :) Or I can send you an email?

Clean, minimal & sweet UI, very useful, i love it.
Ben Winters
Looks incredible, though the logo is very similar to frontapp.com.
Ivan Homola
Working in small dev team and we love this tool!

one of the best project manager I have ever seen

I just can't understand why this is not used by everyone yet. I have been searching for the ultimate tool to manage projects, and this seems to fit the bill on all fronts. It is a mix between the ease-of-use of Trello and sheer power of Jira, the former is sometimes not suitable for some flows and the latter is too much bloated and slow these days. With Ora.pm, I can unify marketing, product development, sales, customer projects and other activities in one roof, maintaining a birds-eye view across the board as a manager.

Ora did their awesome job to please the team leader of any software project using SCRUM (Agile framework). Highly recommended
