One place for the plan and the work behind it.

THE WORKSPACE

## Start with the issue.<br>See the whole picture.

A good plan survives contact with the details. Keep tasks, project context, and progress close enough to act on.

01

### Issues that stay organized

Give work a status, priority, label, owner, and due date. Break it into sub-issues, link dependencies, and follow the activity as it changes.

[Learn about issues](https://initera.app/issues/issues)

02

### Projects with context

Keep the summary, resources, milestones, and updates beside the issues they explain. See what is done and what still needs attention.

03

### A rhythm for the next stretch

Group issues into cycles, plan recurring periods, and decide where unfinished work goes when a cycle ends.

SEE THE WORK

## The details are there when you need them.

Move from a compact list to a board, filter the work in front of you, and open an issue to see its context. The view stays quiet until you need to act.

HOW IT FITS YOUR DAY

## Find it. Move it. Keep going.

### Stay with the keyboard

Search issues and projects, open a view, or run an action from the command bar.

[Command bar guide](https://initera.app/reference/command-bar)

### Know where time went

Run a timer while you work, add past entries, and review time across the workspace.

[Time tracking guide](https://initera.app/planning/time-tracking)

### Work stays local

Your workspace lives on your computer. Export a portable backup with images when you need one.

YOUR NEXT STEP

## Put a little more order into the work.

Start a workspace, add one issue, and build from there.
