Kanban, custom fields and automations for Basecamp.

Turn your to-do lists into a board.

A drag-and-drop board over a project's to-do lists, or over its card tables. Open one list, a whole project, or every project in your account, and Group by rebuilds the columns from assignee, tags, or any select field you've made.

• ✓ Drag to change status, right on the board
• ✓ One board for a single list, a project, or every project at once
• ✓ Group by assignee, tag, or custom field
• ✓ Pivot view: one field across the top, another down the side
• ✓ Hide empty columns and rows, or write your own show-and-hide rules
• ✓ Your grouping choice is remembered per project

Give every to-do the fields it's missing.

Tags and Status come built in. Add Priority, Estimate, Version, Category, or any other field you need, each with its own color-coded options. Now one glance tells you what matters.

• ✓ Color-coded tags & statuses, ready to use
• ✓ Add any custom field: priority, estimate, version, category
• ✓ Shows up on to-dos, cards, messages, documents, and files, right inside Basecamp

Everything about custom fields →

Stop doing the busywork by hand.

Simple when → then rules. Tag something "Feature Request" and it assigns itself to the right person. Create a to-do and it gets a starting status. Set it once and forget it.

• ✓ Triggers on a Basecamp event or a custom-field change
• ✓ Auto-tag, auto-assign, set a field, post a comment
• ✓ Logs every run, so you can see what fired

Turn voice notes into text everyone can read.

Basecamp 5 records voice notes but never transcribes them, so a two-minute note takes two minutes to hear, can't be skimmed, and is invisible to search. Assistant adds a Transcribe button under every note.

• ✓ One click, on your notes or anyone else's
• ✓ Posted as a comment, so people without Assistant read it too
• ✓ A summary and action items on longer notes
• ✓ 6,000 transcription minutes a month, included

Duplicate a whole card table in one click.

Pick "Duplicate this table", name the copy, and Assistant rebuilds the columns and clones every card using Basecamp's native copy. Comments, attachments, original authors, and timestamps all carry over.

• ✓ Every card copied with its comments and attachments
• ✓ Live progress with pause and resume
• ✓ Close the tab mid-copy and it picks up where it left off

The grid view Basecamp 4 users miss.

Flip any Docs & Files page from list to grid: folder cards you can peek into and scroll, image thumbnails, and Basecamp color labels you can set right from the card. Drag to file items into folders, or back out of them.

• ✓ Folder cards with scrollable previews
• ✓ Your custom-field pills on every card
• ✓ Drag to reorder or file items in and out of folders, with live drop hints

Let your AI agent update your Basecamp fields.

Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, or any MCP client can set statuses, tag work, save board views, and manage automation rules in Assistant. Sign in from the client, or use a token.

• ✓ 29 tools, each one an Assistant route
• ✓ Acts as you, in one workspace, with your role
• ✓ Basecamp itself stays on Basecamp's own API

See what's due, across every project.

Filter any board by due date: overdue, due today, this week, next week, or a custom range with a start date, an end date, or both. It stacks with the assignee, tag and field filters.

• ✓ Overdue to-dos carry a red flag on the card
• ✓ A custom range takes a start date, an end date, or both
• ✓ Pair it with the All projects board to see every deadline at once

Set the limit once. The whole team sees it.

Click a column count to cap how much work sits there. The count turns red the moment open work goes over, so the pile-up is visible before anyone has to raise it in a meeting.

• ✓ Click the count on any column to set its limit
• ✓ Stored per board, so one column can allow 10 here and 3 there
• ✓ Completed items never count toward the limit
• ✓ Everyone on the team sees the same limit

Every project gets exactly the fields it needs.

Turn custom fields on or off per project, straight from Basecamp's project settings. A client project stays lean while your dev board runs Priority, Category, and Version.

• ✓ One toggle in the project's own settings
• ✓ Uncheck fields you don't need there. Values are kept
• ✓ New fields stay visible everywhere by default

See what changed since you were last in.

To-dos, cards, and messages with new activity get marked, so you can open a busy project and know where to look instead of re-reading everything.

Bubbled up and bookmarked, flagged.

Anything you bubbled up or bookmarked carries a blue flag, on native lists, on the item page, and on Kanban cards. The thing you set aside this morning is still obvious at four.

Everything about the everyday fixes →

Copy any link in one click.

A copy-URL button on item toolbars. Grab a permalink for the standup note without right-clicking around Basecamp's UI.

• ✓ On the toolbar of every to-do, card, message and doc
• ✓ Cmd or Ctrl + Shift + L copies the page link from anywhere

Everything about the everyday fixes →

Subtasks that keep their line breaks.

Subtasks written across several lines keep their line breaks, and URLs inside them stay clickable. Notes stop collapsing into soup.

• ✓ Links inside subtasks stay clickable
• ✓ Optionally open links that leave Basecamp in a new tab

Everything about the everyday fixes →

Give external links a real place on the project.

Basecamp squeezes a project's external links into a small flat strip. Assistant turns each one into a full dock card you can position next to any other tool, right where your team expects it.

• ✓ Full-size cards on the project home
• ✓ Move them next to Docs & Files, the Message Board, anywhere
