See what's on your team's plate.
Three slots a day. S, M, or L. No time tracking. No sprints. Just an honest view of who has room and who's drowning.
Capacity that's honest by design.
Spin up your workspace in five minutes.
Sign in with Google or a magic link, pick a timezone, and share a three-word join code with your team. No seat licenses to provision. No admin tier to configure. Everyone joins flat.
Commit to your day, three slots at a time.
Every morning, each teammate fills their three slots. Sized S, M, or L — the only sizing language Plate uses. Once a slot is taken, it stays taken. Finishing early earns slack, not more work.
See your whole team at one glance.
The team grid is the answer to two questions managers ask all day: who's drowning, and who has room. Over-committed rows turn red. Blocked tasks step aside so they don't lie about capacity. Off-days replace the slot stack with a pill, no DM required.
The small mechanics that make daily honesty stick.
@mention the person blocking you.
Blocked tasks step aside — they don't lie about your capacity. The blocker sees them surface in their own panel.
Yesterday's leftovers, triaged in seconds.
Open the app, see what didn't ship, decide where it goes. Three buttons. No re-typing, no re-estimating.
One click marks you off. The grid knows.
Your day becomes a pill, your tasks move to Later, your name stays on the grid. No DM to a manager required.
Plate is opinionated. Read this before you sign up.
A small, honest tool that refuses scope creep is only the right tool for some teams. Here's who.
Small product teams that already make decisions in chat.
- →Teams of 5 to 15 — founder, PM, a few engineers, a designer or two.
- →One or more leads coordinating who picks up what, day by day.
- →Loose or no sprints. Work assigned 1 to 3 days out.
- →A PM tool already exists, but capacity decisions happen outside it.
Anyone needing time tracking, sprints, or approval chains.
- ✗Solo founders and freelancers — there's no team to read.
- ✗Enterprise teams with hierarchical workflows and approval gates.
- ✗Engineering-only teams running formal scrum.
- ✗Agencies billing clients by the hour.
Two plans. Hard cap at 25.
We built Plate for small teams. Above 25 members, it isn't the right tool — and we won't pretend otherwise.
The heart of our ICP — small product teams making daily decisions together.
- ✓Unlimited tasks, days, and blockers
- ✓Carry-over tray + standup forms
- ✓Off-day toggle + presence states
- ✓Google + magic-link auth
Growing small teams approaching the ceiling. Same tool, more seats.
