Plan projects
the way you plan
your Civilization run.
Tree is a project management app that thinks like a tech tree. Branching nodes. Real prerequisites. Visible momentum. Built for people who'd rather see their roadmap than scroll a fourteen-tab spreadsheet that someone in operations is silently judging them for.
Existing tools treat your project like
a list.
Your brain treats it like
a strategy game.
You don't think in tickets and sprints. You think in what unlocks what. Which path commits you, which keeps options open, which dependency you can't see yet that's about to eat your week.
Linear is for ants
Beautiful, opinionated, built for teams who've already decided what they're doing. You haven't.
Plane is for dashboarders
Filter, views, dropdowns. All the time. We respect the optionality. We just wanted to see the forest for the trees.
Notion is for novelists
Your roadmap shouldn't read like a Wikipedia article whose maintainer abandoned it in 2023.
Every project is a tech tree.
Tasks unlock when the work they depend on is finished. Everything else stays greyed out. The path forward is always literally the path forward.
Build the tree
Drop in your goals, set their details, drag between them to mark prerequisites. The shape of the project becomes the shape of the tree.
Invite your crew
Add collaborators with the right level of access: shape the tree, work the tree, or watch it grow.
Start unlocking
Move through the tree as you finish things. Locked nodes light up. Unblocked work surfaces automatically.
Four mechanics. Borrowed shamelessly
from games we already love.
Real dependencies
Not labels you forget to update. Locked nodes don't show up in your active queue until their parents resolve.
Branch comparison
Stage two competing paths side-by-side, see their downstream cost in time and scope, then commit. Or don't.
Fog of war (optional)
Hide tiers you haven't started. Reduces planning anxiety; reveals the tree as you research it. Toggleable for grown-ups.
Keyboard-first
Built for people who alt-tab. Every action has a shortcut. Mouse is for ceremony, not for work.
We've been building software a long time. We've also put an embarrassing number of hours into Civ V, Stellaris, and eight different Total War games we won't name here.
At some point it stopped being a coincidence that the tools we chose to use for fun were better at modeling complex decisions than the tools we had to use for work.
Tree is the tool we wished existed. We're not pretending it'll replace your Jira instance — your Jira instance is load-bearing for an entire compliance department. We just want the part of your week where you're actually thinking to feel like the part of your week you actually enjoy.
