A structured forum for teams where discussions become decisions and decisions become tasks.
Your team’s best thinking is buried in Slack threads, lost in email chains, and forgotten after meetings.
Discuss → Decide → Do → Document
Open a structured discussion from a template. The team contributes async comments over hours or days.
The discussion reaches a conclusion. A resolution summary captures what was decided and why.
Tasks spawn directly from the discussion. Each task links back to the decision that created it.
The resolved discussion becomes a permanent, searchable decision record. Context preserved forever.
Tack replaces your scattered Slack threads, endless meetings, and forgotten email decisions with one clear workflow.
They pick a template — Decision, Problem, Proposal, Retrospective, or General. The template enforces structure: context, options, trade-offs. No blank pages, no stream-of-consciousness.
Comments arrive over hours or days. No typing indicators, no pressure to reply now. Acknowledgments track who’s read it. Deadlines keep things moving without urgency theater.
The owner writes a resolution summary: what was decided, by whom, what alternatives were considered. The discussion moves from Open to Resolved. It’s now a permanent record.
Every task links back to the discussion that created it. Anyone picking up the work can trace it to the why. No “what is this ticket even about?” moments.
Resolved discussions are promoted to a searchable Decision Log. Six months later, search “why did we pick Stripe?” and find the full discussion, alternatives, and reasoning.
What’s left is what matters: structured discussions, documented decisions, trackable tasks.
Every discussion ends with a documented decision — who decided, what was decided, what alternatives were considered, and why. The Decision Log grows automatically. No extra work.
Six months from now, you’ll know exactly why you made this choice.
Forum DNA, not chat DNA. If you’ve used a forum, you already know how to use Tack.
Structured threads with enforced templates. Every conversation follows a lifecycle: Open → Resolved → Decision. Templates guide the author to include context, options, and trade-offs. No blank pages.
Discussions support deadlines, acknowledgment tracking, labels, emoji reactions, and threaded comments. When resolved, they lock and become a permanent record.
Work items spawned from discussions. Every task links back to the decision that created it — full traceability from “what” to “why.”
Tasks have assignees, due dates, acceptance criteria, and a timeline of progress updates. No more standup meetings — updates live on the task.
Your daily feed. What needs your ack, what’s assigned to you, what’s approaching deadline. Process it, then go do deep work.
Your async planner. Discussion deadlines, task due dates, and commitments on a timeline — not meetings.
The permanent, searchable record of every decision your team has made. Built automatically from resolved discussions. No extra documentation work — just use Tack and the log grows itself.
Other tools let you be messy. Tack won’t.
Decision, Problem, Proposal, Retrospective, or General. Every discussion starts with structure. Custom templates per team.
You can’t close a discussion without documenting what was decided. No silent closures, no ambiguity.
Once a decision is made, the discussion locks. New thinking starts a new discussion that references the original.
Explicit acknowledgments track who has read and understood. Timestamped, visible to everyone. No assumptions.
