Features
Everything your team wished Basecamp had.
Nine powerful additions. Zero plugins for your team to install. Install once, works everywhere in Basecamp.
Kanban board view
A full drag-and-drop Kanban board layered on top of your Basecamp to-do lists and card tables. Group by status, assignee, or tag.
Custom fields
Add fields like Tags, Status, Priority, Hourly Rate, Due Date, or Estimate to any to-do. Text, number, dropdown, multi-select, or date — set them anywhere, filter by them everywhere.
Automations
Auto-tag, auto-assign, or change status on triggers like item created, moved, or commented. Simple rules, big time savings.
Voice notes
Record voice messages in any Basecamp comment box. Auto-transcribed, attached as rich audio blocks.
Unread highlight
Instantly spot to-dos, cards, and messages with unread activity. Skip the scroll — jump straight to what's new since you last checked.

Up and running in 60 seconds.

Loved by Basecamp teams
"How did we run Basecamp without this?"
Early quotes from beta teams using Assistant across client work, product, and operations.
We've tried every project tool you can name. The team kept drifting back to Basecamp. Assistant gave us the Kanban and custom fields we were missing — finally, everyone's in one place.
The automations alone paid for the year. New bug comes in, it auto-tags, auto-assigns, and lands in the right triage column. My PM got half a day back every week.
Clients used to email us daily asking for status updates. Now the status is right there in Basecamp. My inbox is measurably quieter. Worth every penny per seat.
Pricing
Fair pricing that scales with your team.
Pay per seat, billed monthly or yearly. First 50 seats on a tapered curve, $1/seat after that. Yearly saves 10%.
FAQ
Common questions.
Does this replace Basecamp?
No — it enhances it. Assistant runs inside Basecamp. All your data stays in Basecamp; we add a layer of tags, statuses, fields, and views on top.
Do I need to change how my team uses Basecamp?
Not at all. The extension adds UI directly onto Basecamp pages. People who don't install it still see Basecamp exactly as before.
What data do you store?
We store tags, statuses, custom field values, automations, and OAuth tokens needed to connect to the Basecamp API. We never store your project content (messages, to-dos, files) — those stay in Basecamp.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 60 days, no credit card, full feature access. After the trial, admins can purchase seats. Free users can keep read-only access even after trial.
How does pricing work?
Per-seat, billed monthly or yearly. The first 50 seats use a tiered curve ($5 first seat, tapering down). Seats 51+ are flat $1/seat. Yearly billing gets 10% off.
Who connects the Basecamp account?
A Basecamp admin connects each account once. After that, team members can be invited and given seats by the admin.
