Five parts that would normally be five separate tools. Here they share one set of data, so a change in one shows up in all of them.
Track tasks in a table when you want detail, or as kanban cards when you want flow. It is the same board either way.
Sketch a plan with notes, shapes and arrows. Then drop real tasks and pages onto it as live cards.
Bring in a spreadsheet or use a board as live data. Clean it up in steps, then chart it.
Built for everyday reporting on up to 50,000 rows per table. You bring data in as spreadsheet files or use your boards as live data; it does not connect straight to a database. If your reporting needs millions of rows or live feeds from other systems, keep your analytics tool for that and use Mechanesmos for the team's day-to-day numbers.
Pages, folders and files for everything the team needs to remember. Pages can show live work, not stale copies.
Invite colleagues by email. Everyone sees changes within a few seconds, with no refresh.
Owners manage people. Editors change things. Viewers can look without changing anything.
A log of who changed what, a calendar of everything with a date, and undo for your own changes.
Your browser holds a working copy, so a dropped connection does not stop you. Changes are sent when you are back.
Every product has limits. Here are ours, what each one means for your team, and how teams work with it today.
| Not yet | What that means for you | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| An app in the app stores | There is nothing to download from the App Store or Google Play. | Open it in your phone's browser and choose "Add to Home Screen": it then opens full-screen from its own icon. Longer work is more comfortable on a laptop. |
| Seeing a colleague's cursor as they type | Two of you can write in the same page at once and both keep everything you type, but the other person's text arrives every few seconds, not letter by letter. | Carry on writing; nothing is lost. If you both rewrite the very same words, both versions are kept next to each other for you to tidy. |
| Direct links to other systems and databases | Numbers from your accounting, sales or other systems do not flow in by themselves. | Export a spreadsheet file from the other system and import it. The cleaning steps you saved run again, so every chart updates in one go. |
| Very large data | Each data table holds up to 50,000 rows, which covers everyday team reporting. | For bigger data, bring in a summary, for example monthly totals in place of every transaction. |
| Large file storage | Files attached to pages are limited to 400 KB each. | Keep large files where they live today and link to them from the page. |
| Single sign-on and security certificates | People sign in with an email address and password, and we hold no outside certification yet. | Turn on two-step sign-in, which Business owners can require for everyone. The security page lists what is in place. |
If one of these is a deal-breaker, better to know now. If you are unsure, ask us and you will get a direct answer.
