Projects, tasks, and wikis — without locking you in halfway.

BlocPad is a modern project management app built on one belief: your work shouldn’t be used as leverage. Plan projects, manage tasks, and document decisions in one place—kanban boards, task details with context, and a built-in wiki that lives with the work. No mid-project paywalls. No sudden lock-ins. Built for real teams doing real work.

"No mid-project paywalls" is such a refreshing approach! Too many tools start free then hit you with upgrade prompts right when you're deep into work. How does BlocPad's export/data portability work? Love the idea of not being locked in.

@nora_studiohedera Thanks — that lock-in frustration is exactly what we wanted to avoid.
Your data is always yours. You can export projects, tasks, and docs anytime — no upgrades, no “unlock to download” screens. BlocPad is meant to earn trust by being useful, not by trapping work inside it.
Hi Mihir, can I ask how your product differs from tools like Notion or Lark?

@jojo_li Great question. BlocPad actually started because I was a Notion user. Our startup loved it… until we hit limits and suddenly it was ~$10 per user, which adds up fast for small teams.
BlocPad is still an MVP, so it’s too early to compare it feature-by-feature with Notion or Lark. Right now the focus is on no mid-project paywalls, real-time by default, and a tighter mix of Notion-style docs + Jira-style execution.
We’re rolling out something genuinely different over the next few weeks — especially around AI workflows, integrations with Cursor and Claude CLI, and an AI project manager that feels human — helping managers stay on top without micromanaging. Just getting started 👀

@zahran_dabbagh Thanks — really appreciate you giving it a try 🙌
That’s fair feedback on pricing. Right now we’re intentionally keeping the freemium model simple while we learn how teams actually use BlocPad, but a clearer, more structured pricing plan is coming soon — without mid-project paywalls or lock-in.
Nice, could you please explain a bit more what sort of features as a user I can get that I won't have on Atlassian, Notion or other work management tools?

@khashayar_mansourizadeh Great question. Instead of competing feature-by-feature with Atlassian or Notion, we’re focused on things they don’treally solve yet.
Over the next few weeks, we’re launching three core features:
1) BlocPad AI — a chat agent that helps you create work: turning ideas into requirements, requirements into tasks, and tasks into a living knowledge base — all in project context.
2) BlocPad CLI (for devs) — developers already live in Cursor, Codex, Claude, Gemini CLI, etc. Our CLI lets them authenticate, pull assigned tasks + context automatically, and work without jumping between tools. Less context switching, faster execution.
3) AI Product Manager — an AI agent that joins the project like a team member. It watches task and wiki changes, helps with clarity and structure, and supports managers without replacing human judgment.
It’s still early, but the bet is simple: less tool overhead, more execution.
— what’s the one feature that, if a tool did it really well, would make you stop using Notion / Jira altogether?
@mihir_kanzariya great, specially the CLI could be really interesting
