Getting Started

Updated

Welcome to Kwilio Projects

Kwilio Projects is a native desktop app for planning work, shipping releases, and keeping the board honest about what actually landed. It runs on macOS and Windows and talks to the Kwilio API, so everyone in your organisation sees the same work.

There is no browser version, and no offline cache — the app needs a network connection to do anything.

Installing

| Platform | Requirements | Download | |---|---|---| | macOS | Apple silicon or Intel, macOS 11+ | KwilioProjects-latest.dmg | | Windows | 64-bit, Windows 10 or 11 | KwilioProjects-latest-setup.exe |

Install once. From then on the app checks for updates when it starts and offers what it finds — installing is always your choice. Updates are signature-verified before anything is written to disk, and the Mac build is notarized by Apple.

Creating Your Account

  1. Open the app and choose Sign up
  2. Enter your email and a password
  3. Check your inbox for a six-digit verification code and enter it

People joining from an invitation link are not asked to verify — their organisation already vouches for the address.

Forgot your password? Forgot password on the sign-in screen emails a code. Resetting also verifies the address.

Main Views

Kwilio Projects gives you several views onto the same work:

| View | What it's for | |---|---| | Kanban board | Moving cards between statuses | | List | Scanning a lot of tasks at once | | Releases | Sprints and versions, and what's in each | | Timeline | Releases laid out against the calendar | | My tasks / My board | Your own work across every project | | Dashboard | A ranked daily brief, when you ask for one | | Activity | Recent events in the projects you can see |

The sidebar starts collapsed as a narrow rail and expands on hover, giving the board back the width.

  1. Create your organisation — you become its owner
  2. Create a project — see Projects
  3. Add tasks to the board — see Tasks
  4. Create a release and pull tasks into it — see Sprints & Releases
  5. Invite your team — see Teams & Sharing
  6. Connect GitHub or Bitbucket so branches attach themselves — see Git Integration
  7. Add an AI connection if you want it — see AI Features

Trial and Plans

Every new organisation starts on a 14-day trial — no card, every feature. When it ends, pick a plan from the Billing page inside the app.

| | Team | Business | Enterprise | |---|---|---|---| | Price | $29/month | $79/month | $199/month | | Seats | Up to 25 | Up to 100 | Unlimited |

Pricing is per seat, where a seat is an active member or a pending invite. Nothing is deleted while you decide, and an organisation that later lapses keeps working until the end of the period it paid for. A failed payment shows a banner rather than locking you out.

See Billing & Account for the details.
