Features
The features Basecamp never shipped.
Kanban, custom fields, automations, and unread highlight. One install, no per-person setup.
Turn to-dos into a Kanban board
A full drag-and-drop board layered right on your Basecamp to-do lists. Group by status, assignee, or tag.
Custom fields
Priority, status, version, due date, estimate. Put any field you want on any to-do.
Color-coded tags & statuses
Build the tags and statuses your team uses, each in its own color. One look tells you where everything stands.
Automations
Set up rules that tag, assign, and set statuses for you, so nobody's doing it by hand.
Group & filter the board
Slice the board by status, assignee, tag, or priority. Then search and sort to find anything fast.
Runs inside Basecamp, so your data never leaves
There's no new app to learn. The extension adds its UI to the Basecamp pages you already use, and your messages, to-dos, and files never leave.

Loved by Basecamp teams
What beta teams are saying.
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.

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. 14 days, no credit card, full access for your whole team. After the trial, one admin subscribes for $29/month (or $290/year) and everyone keeps access.
How does pricing work?
One flat price: $29/month or $290/year for your whole team — unlimited seats and every feature. One admin pays; there are no per-seat charges.
Who connects the Basecamp account?
A Basecamp admin connects each account once and pays. After that, everyone in that Basecamp account gets the extension automatically — no seat assignments, no access requests.
