🐧 Async standups, with penguins
Penguin Parade swaps the daily meeting for a one-minute check-in. Everyone shares what they got done, what's next and any icebergs in the way, and the whole team catches up in one digest, whenever their day starts.
Free for small crews. No card needed.
On your team's days, a nudge at the time you pick. Tick off yesterday's plans, say what's next, and flag any icebergs.
Every team you're on, or follow, in one place and one email. Who's checked in, who's out, and what's in the way.
Blockers land with team leads the moment they're posted, so someone can help before the day's gone.
The rhythm of a standup, without the calendar invite.
Every penguin picks their own reminder and digest times, wherever their ice floe is. Holidays and time off skip the nudge.
Each line of “what's next” becomes a plan. Next time, tick off what got done, and see how often plans are met.
Owners, contributors, sub-goals and a cadence. Updates say how far along it is and whether it's on track.
Participation, plans met, icebergs and mood over time, for the whole colony, each team and each penguin.
Each check-in waddles into its team's channel as it comes in, and editing it edits the post.
Claude sums up each team's day in a few lines, above the check-ins, so the big picture comes first.
Some conversations are just for the huddle. Private teams' check-ins stay with their members and your admins.
A fish for a nice catch, a comment to offer help. Small things that make async feel like a team.
Pick your species, or a character like the wizard or the astronaut, and an accessory to go with it. Your penguin waddles when you're due, flaps when you've checked in, and heads for the beach when you're out.
Set up your company and first team in two minutes, then invite the colony.
