Plate is a fast, minimal project management tool for small teams. Organize work into projects, sections, and tasks — with assignees, statuses, comments, and real-time collaboration, without the clutter of traditional PM tools.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
A few years ago we built Tweek — a minimal calendar for personal task planning. People liked it because it felt closer to paper than software: simple, calm, and obvious.
For a long time we wanted to bring the same feeling to team work. But every time we tried to extend Tweek with projects, roles, collaboration, statuses, and comments, it started becoming exactly the kind of tool we didn’t want to build.
So we made Plate.
Plate is a simple project management tool for small teams. The structure is intentionally limited:
Workspace → Project → Section → Task
No boards. No complex setup. No PM theater.
You can create projects, group tasks into sections, assign people, change statuses, leave comments, mention teammates, and see updates in real time.
The goal is not to replace Jira for engineering orgs or Asana for companies with heavy processes. Plate is for small teams that need a shared workspace to move work forward.
Would love your feedback, especially on:
1. Is the simplicity too strict, or refreshing?
2. What’s the one feature you’d still expect in a tool like this?
3. Does the positioning make sense compared to Basecamp, Linear, Asana, etc.?
Thanks for checking it out.
