About Quire
Breaking projects into smaller, bite-sized tasks is critical for successful project management. Quire is built for this key activity and arguably the best solution for businesses that struggle with taking big goals and both making them smaller and managing all these little tasks.
Quire assists project management in a number of ways. First, it makes it easy for users to put down thoughts and then structure them into tasks, similar to mind-mapping software but both easier and more intuitive. It also allows for infinitely nested lists, which makes it easier for big projects or tasks to be broken into smaller parts.
Quire hierarchical task list lets you brainstorm and plan ahead for your projects. On the other hand, Kanban board is for execution and progress tracking in a visual workflow form. Timeline view helps team spot roadblocks and manage the project schedules so that no task will ever get fallen behind. The best thing with Quire is, you can switch between different views and still stay in the same task list.
Sublist is a unique approach that makes Quire stand out among thousands of work management app. For one task list, you can create as many sub-lists as you wish to focus on which matters the most to you. The newly created sublists can mirror the main list and Quire Sublist is a huge advanced step for your work management.
One of the key features that make a task management software be in a different class from a simple task management software is the collaboration tool. Your team will always stay in sync with Quire real-time collaboration feature. You can access your projects using your mobile phones and web browsers at any time.
Quire also integrates with Google Drive, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Slack, Zapier, Microsoft Teams, etc. A REST API is also available for anyone that wants to customize Quire better for their business' needs.
Currently, Quire is completely free of charge.

It has been great, I've been using their free tier for almost 5 years and find it extremely easy and useful. I can invite clients to see their projects and it has nice and easy to understand gantt charts and to-do lists. From the free tier alternatives this would be my definite go-to project management tool.
Pros
It is super easy and doesn't have any fluff or bloat
Cons
Missing some integration capabilities (last time i checked: webhooks) and their API is not available in many automation services (yet)

Overall I'm loving it and using Quire on a daily basis. It made my life so easy that I cannot believe how I managed before without it. It's clean, elegant and for me very easy to use. It took me maybe 2-3 hours to figure out most of the stuff and a day or so to feel really comfortable with it.
Quire has all the features I wanted to have and gives me the ability to organize my business efficiently. It's brilliant that I can have several workspaces with multiple projects. Which I can further split into nested tasks with subtasks, but also into linked sublists with differnt view, e.g. boards.
Even if I'm looking for something it turns out to be better thought out then how I would expect it to be or look like. Plus I can get an overview of progress stats and progress summary.
Not to mention the support is amazing! Fast, responsive and eager to help. Something that you won't see much when it comes to free tools. Honestly, I can't believe it really is a free tool.
Pros
Simple.
Fast.
Intuitive.
Not distracting.
Gives everything a freelancer, SMBs or corporate might need.
It's not overly complicated with unnecessary features.
Tree structure is absolutely awesome! This way you can break every project into actually manageable tasks.
Every task or subtask can have priority, start and due date, responsible person or external team and files attached.
FREE.
Cons
Minimalistic view might give an impression it's super basic and won't provide what you need [but the truth is exactly the opposite].
Some people might find lack of chat or message board a disadvantage [but for me tasks comments are enough and allow me to keep things tidy].
There is no calendar view so it can be seen as a negative by some people [but there is a timeline view which is good enough for me].
Not sure how pricing structure will look like in the future.
Reasons for Switching to Quire
For me personally it felt most intuitive and had all the features I wanted to have. After testing Quire and 2 other tools I decided Quire works best for my individual needs. One of the points was the ability to have all projects / workspaces available on the left panel so I can see all the most important things without clicking back and forth. Also the design is not overwhelming so that's a positive.

Simple task software

Pros
Clean, open spaces, no clutter. Connected with Gmail easily
Cons
This software has no templates,. It is a very basic task software
Reasons for Switching to Quire
I didn't. I went with Airtable as I felt the interface was more user-friendly and I liked the templates that were available.Response from Potix
Hi Dianna,
I'm really sorry to learn that you didn't think Quire is a suitable tool for your business. Actually, we do have reusable templates on Quire. Also, most of the critical task software features are available on Quire, such as nested to do list to help you break down big goals into achievable tasks, Kanban board to help you get focused on what really matters in a short period of time, real time collaboration that allows work with teammates and always stay in sync, etc.
We still hope that in the future, you might consider give Quire another try and let us know what you think :) Have a wonderful day!

It took all of 4 days for me to become comfortable with their version of markdown and the in line task entry system. Creating check boxes, tables, asigning tasks in line, assigning deadlines and start dates in line, all of it.
There has been no issues to date with the software, and I am now using it to organize my entire life. NOT just my working life.
Getting my team onboard was easy, and everyone who uses the software comments on how easy it was to learn to use in our context, and how lightweight/quick it is to use.
Pros
Simple UI
Easy inline entry of tasks and restrictions such as due date, start date, assignees, tags, files and everything else one could need to get their tasks in order and their team up to date
In line chat and descriptions let people talk about important issues
The overview and kanban board options are great for people who organize their information in different ways, and the ability to have the boards interact with one another in various ways is excellent
Cons
Very minimalistic (A positive for me, but maybe not for everyone!)
Constant improvements being rolled out (A positive for me, but not everyone wants to have to learn new features constantly)
FREE!
Reasons for Switching to Quire
Free trial was winding up and the lack of needlessly complex requirements and input methods. The less I have to learn for minimum viable usage the better for switching/picking up new software, and makes convincing my team to use it easier. This minimalistic front end with the complexity in the back end that lets those who want to be power users and those that want to run at the minimum viable level is key for me.- Industry: Nonprofit Organization Management

Amazing product , exceptionnal and generous customer service
Reviewed on 2020/04/01
Very good, the best "tasks" app we ever used.
Very good, the best "tasks" app we ever used.
Pros
Everything, but i Prefer:
- Possibility to assign a single task to multiple user (and when it's get done, it goes away for everyone)
- Possibility to organize yours tasks by organization, projects and boards
- Possibility to create weekly, monthly, etc tasks
- Possibility to attach document to each task
- User friendly
- French language ! (and the translation is good!)
- The generosity and help from the customer service (as a small and poor charity organisation who rely on volunteers who work from home, we need this kind of service to complete our projects)
Cons
- maybe the fact that when you look a subtask on a board , you can't see their connection to the "complete task" and it can be somewhat confusing to differentiate between similar subtask (Actually we just have to always name the subtask with the name of the complete task, so we have a way around)

Wunderlist was bought by Window and replaced by To-do. We liked Wunderlist as it was free but it lacked some important feature (Quire is a lot better). We had to fond an alternative and we wanted something better.Switched From
Microsoft To DoReasons for Switching to Quire
