Flow (Project Management)

The rtylr Flow app is a project management tool built for teams that want to plan, track, and ship work. It combines the best of issue trackers and project boards in a fast, keyboard-driven interface.

Workspaces

Workspaces are top-level containers that separate different teams or departments. Each workspace has its own projects, members, and settings. An organization can have multiple workspaces (e.g., Engineering, Marketing, Operations).

Projects

Projects organize related work. Each project has three views:

• List — A flat list of all tasks with sortable columns
• Board — A kanban board with customizable columns (e.g., Backlog, In Progress, Done)
• Overview — Project description, progress metrics, and recent activity

Tasks

Tasks are the core unit of work in Flow. Each task includes:

• Title and description (Markdown supported)
• Assignee and reviewer
• Status, priority (Urgent, High, Medium, Low, None), and labels
• Due date and estimated effort
• Sub-tasks for breaking down work
• Comments and activity feed
• Attachments

My Issues

A personal view showing all tasks assigned to you across all projects and workspaces. Filter by status, priority, or due date. This is the default landing page in Flow.

Cycles

Cycles are time-boxed iterations (similar to sprints). Define a cycle with a start and end date, add tasks, and track progress. At the end of a cycle, incomplete tasks can be moved to the next cycle automatically.

Milestones

Milestones mark significant points in a project (e.g., v1.0 launch, beta release). Tasks can be grouped under milestones to track progress toward major goals. Milestones show completion percentage based on associated task status.

Roadmap

The roadmap provides a high-level view of projects and milestones across time. It displays a horizontal timeline with bars representing project phases and milestone markers. Use it for planning and communicating the big picture to stakeholders.

Timeline

The timeline (Gantt) view shows tasks on a calendar with start and end dates. Drag to adjust dates, link tasks with dependencies, and visualize the critical path. Timeline is available at the project level.

Views

Create saved views with custom filters, grouping, and sorting. Views can be shared with the team or kept private. Examples: "My overdue tasks," "High priority bugs," "Tasks due this week."

Team Workload

The workload view shows task distribution across team members for a given period. Bars indicate capacity utilization based on estimated effort. Use it to balance work and avoid overloading team members.

Triage

The triage inbox collects new tasks that have not been assigned to a project or cycle. Team leads review triage items and assign them to the appropriate project, set priority, and assign owners.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Flow is designed for keyboard-first navigation. Key shortcuts include:

• C — Create new task
• J / K — Navigate up/down in lists
• Enter — Open selected task
• A — Assign task
• P — Set priority
• L — Add label
• D — Set due date
• Cmd+K — Command palette
