Straight from the notification

Decisions get made - and then what?

Every meeting produces decisions. Without structure they vanish between minutes, chat and memory.

Decided - but where is it written down?

Decisions are made in the meeting and then disappear into the body of the minutes or a chat thread.

Nobody feels responsible

Without a clearly assigned owner it stays unclear who carries a decision and who approves it.

Approvals drag on

Approval hangs on one person who only gets reminded again at the next meeting.

“What did we actually decide?”

At the next recurring meeting there is no overview of which decisions have already been taken across the series.

From a spoken point to a traceable decision

Every decision follows the same clear path - captured, assigned, approved, tracked.

01

Capture

Record the decision right in the minutes - with a title and the meeting context.

02

Assign

Name a responsible person who owns the decision and approves it.

03

Approve

Approve, approve with changes or reject - the status is visible to everyone.

04

Track

Follow every decision of a series and a project together in the register.

Capture in context

Record decisions where they happen

Mark a spot in the meeting minutes as a decision and record it with a title and a responsible person - without leaving the editor and without a second tool.

  • A decision with title and owner straight from the minutes
  • No switching to a separate tool - you are taking notes anyway
  • Distraction-free focus mode during the live meeting
  • Share the minutes as PDF or Markdown - decisions included

Approval workflow

Approve, approve with changes or reject

Every decision carries a clear status. The responsible person approves it, approves it with changes or rejects it - straight from the notification, without navigating to the meeting first.

  • Four unambiguous states: open, approved, approved with changes, rejected
  • Approve or reject directly from the notification
  • Approval rests with the assigned responsible person
  • The status is visible to everyone involved at all times

Overview across every meeting

Every decision of a series and a project in one place

The recurring-meeting history becomes visible as a whole: every decision of a series and, project-wide, across all meetings - with status at a glance.

  • Decision register per series and project-wide across all meetings
  • Every decision's status at a glance - open, approved, rejected
  • Alongside decisions, the open tasks from the series are bundled too
  • Filter by series, project and status

Linked, not isolated

From a decision straight to the task and the right person

Link a decision to the relevant Kanban card or person as you write - with an @-mention in the minutes. That turns the decision into a traceable task.

  • People and Kanban cards via @-mention right in the decision text
  • A decision becomes a trackable task
  • The link between decision, person and delivery is preserved
  • Works in the detail view and in focus mode

So that maintaining decisions never becomes a chore

Traceability should remove work, not add it.

Approve without a detour

The responsible person approves or rejects a decision straight from the notification - with no need to navigate to the meeting first.

No second tool

Decisions are created in the minutes you are writing anyway. Nothing has to be maintained twice.

Clear ownership instead of chaos

The minutes stay with the organizer and the note-taker - with an administrator override in case the responsible person is unavailable.

Decision meets delivery

Decisions turn into tasks

A decision is only worth something once it is delivered. The open tasks from a meeting series appear bundled alongside the decisions - as Kanban cards linked directly to the meeting.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. As you write, you link people and Kanban cards via @-mention right in the minutes. That turns a decision into a trackable task.
