Everything, and how to use it.

How to use it

1. 1Hover the message you want to track and open its ⋯ menu.
2. 2Choose Send to Pondros board. The message text arrives as the task title.
3. 3Fill in what you need: notes, board, project, one or more assignees, a due date, priority, tags.
4. 4Press Add task. Pondros confirms in a DM — nothing from this menu is posted to the channel.

No message to start from? Use the global shortcut New Pondros task, or type /pondros add write the Q3 recap to skip the form entirely. @mention someone in that text and they become the assignee.

How to use it

1. 1Create the task as usual, filling in everything you want every occurrence to carry.
2. 2Open Repeat and pick Every weekday, Every Monday or 1st of the month.
3. 3Press Add task. The first occurrence appears immediately, not next cycle.
4. 4From then on each occurrence arrives on its own, carrying the assignees, tags and checklist you set up.

Each occurrence is a separate task, so a series kept three weeks and missed on the fourth reads as three kept and one dropped. A single task that reopened would lose that history — which is the part your follow-through rate is built on.

How to use it

1. 1In Assign to, pick everyone who owes something. There is no limit.
2. 2Each person is nudged about it individually, in their own DM.
3. 3When someone presses Done, it marks their part finished and they stop being chased.
4. 4Everyone else keeps being followed up. The task closes on its own once nobody is outstanding.

Adding a fourth person later doesn't re-open it for the three who already finished. Removing someone and adding them back does reset them — which is usually what you meant.

How to use it

1. 1Save a checklist with the steps you repeat — onboarding, a launch, a monthly close.
2. 2When creating a task, pick it from Checklist.
3. 3The steps become ordinary subtasks on that task, inheriting its board, project and owner.
4. 4Tick them off individually; the card shows ☑︎ 2/5 as they land.

Editing a saved checklist later never rewrites tasks already stamped from it — people have started working against those steps.

How to use it

1. 1Type /pondros rota @ana @ben @cai in the channel your work lands in.
2. 2Create a task and leave Assign to empty.
3. 3Pondros hands it to whoever is next in the rota and advances the turn.
4. 4/pondros rota shows the current rota; /pondros rota off stops it.

Naming an assignee always wins — the rota is a fallback for unclaimed work, never an override. Whose turn it is is stored, not guessed from who looks least busy, so closing a task never silently changes the order.

How to use it

1. 1Type /pondros volunteer write the Q3 recap in the channel.
2. 2Pondros posts an unassigned card there with a Claim this button.
3. 3The first person to press it owns the task; the card rewrites to show who took it.

If two people click at once the first wins, and the second is told privately rather than in the channel.

How to use it

1. 1Give a task an owner and a due date. That is the whole setup.
2. 2The owner gets a DM as it comes due, with Done, Tomorrow, Next week, Not mine and Reassign on it.
3. 3Replying in plain language works too — “done”, “pushed to Friday”, “blocked on legal” all land on the board.
4. 4If it keeps slipping, Pondros warns the owner first, then tells whoever is owed, then replies in the thread the promise was made in.

Tomorrow and Next weekgo quiet without moving the deadline. “Not right now” and “I renegotiated this” are different things, and only one of them should make an overdue task stop reading as overdue.

How to use it

1. 1Open Schedule in Pondros and find Status report to a channel.
2. 2Turn it on and pick the channel it should post to.
3. 3Choose the cadence: Mondays 9:00 AM, every weekday, Fridays 4:00 PM, or the 1st of the month.
4. 4It posts to that channel from then on — always the channel, never a DM.

Off until you turn it on. A quiet week posts nothing rather than an empty “0 tasks” card, which only teaches the channel to ignore it.

How to use it

1. 1Open Add update on any task.
2. 2Tick Notify me about this task.
3. 3You'll be DM'd when it's finished, and when its deadline moves.

Owners, assignees, whoever asked for it and anyone who has commented follow automatically — so the box often starts ticked. Untick it to stop. You are never notified about your own actions, and ordinary status nudges stay silent on purpose.

How to use it

1. 1Type /pondros board, or open the Pondros app and press View full board.
2. 2Group by status, owner, due date or project.
3. 3Filter to My tasks or the whole team, and narrow to one project.
4. 4Change a task's status from the dropdown on its card — the web board updates live.

You only ever see boards you have access to, and the status dropdown only appears on tasks you're part of.

How to use it

1. 1Open the Pondros app in Slack and go to the Report tab.
2. 2Pick a window: 7, 30 or 90 days.
3. 3Switch between Just me and Whole team.
4. 4Press Full report for the web view, where you can also filter by person, client and project, and export it.

How to use it

1. 1Add tags when you create a task, from the Tags picker.
2. 2They show on the task everywhere it appears, including in Slack.
3. 3Filter the board by tag to pull one slice of work out.

New tag names are created on the web board, where the colour picker lives; the Slack picker applies the ones you already have.

How to use it

1. 1On the web board, rename, recolour, reorder, add or remove columns.
2. 2Every Slack surface picks them up straight away — the board view and the update form both offer your real columns.

Statuses are per board, so a client board and an internal board can work completely differently.

How to use it

1. 1Open Settings in Pondros and generate an MCP key.
2. 2Add the Pondros MCP server to your AI tool using that key.
3. 3Ask it about your meetings, open commitments and people.
