Project tools that start simple and grow with you.
Whether you're running a freelance project, a company's work or a class, the same toolkit applies. New projects start with a simple view; you unlock more as you need it, and nothing is ever taken away.
CoLabEx is in an early-access beta. Everything on this page is live today; anything still planned is listed under “Good to know.”
Coming from running projects inside one company? The work is the same; who you're working for isn't. A project here can be somebody else's idea that you take on, with your share of it written into the project from the start.
What you can do
Choose Basic, Intermediate, Advanced or Full for each project — or answer four plain questions and let the wizard recommend one. Change it any time.
Tasks, subtasks, dependencies, a critical path, baselines, milestones and deliverables, with list, board and timeline views.
Set a budget, log expenses, split task values across a pool, and see planned versus actual.
A workload heatmap and capacity flags show who is overbooked, and time off is taken into account.
Health status, a printable status report, client links, and calendar feeds for your deadlines.
Describe an idea or paste meeting notes and get suggested tasks to accept one by one, plus a plain-language status summary.
Simple rules like 'when a task is done, notify the PM', and one-click import from a spreadsheet.
Objectives and key results that update from the tasks tied to them.
How it starts
- Create a project and pick a feature level.
- Break the work into tasks, or import what you already have.
- Review submissions, track health, and share progress.
Good to know
- AI features have daily limits, and suggestions are always yours to accept or ignore.
- Some tools appear only at higher feature levels, on purpose — raise the level any time.
Accounts are free while CoLabEx is in early access, and spots are limited.
