Plan, share and ship work without interruption
Shape helps busy teams reach consensus and ship faster with focused spaces designed for discussion and delivery.
There's more to business than chat
Constant distractions
Pings, mentions, and quick replies keep teams in a loop of interruption. Deep work becomes shallow as focus is stolen by the next message.
Knowledge drain
Important ideas vanish into chat history. What was once a great insight becomes a memory no one can find.
Problems are recycled
Just like click-bait, chat is superficial and then dissolves. Once a discussion loses its novelty factor, teams rapidly lose interest.
Lack of ownership
Tasks and decisions drift through conversation with no single owner. Responsibility dissolves the moment a chat ends or a teammate logs off.
Too often, messaging platforms are too noisy to be productive. Threads are chaotic, DMs are overwhelming and progress is blocked.
Shape gets your work back on track
For years, we wondered how chat took over our work. Shape is our answer: a calmer, more deliberate space built for team clarity and progress, not chatter and movement.
Read our storyYour team has so much more to say
Start a discussion in Shape to collaborate on a new topic or idea. Discussions are designed for long-form, long-term conversations.
Let your ideas evolve
In other tools, the lifecycle of a message is an hour or two. With Shape, discussions stay open and evolve towards consensus then resolution.
Open discussions show as Active, so you know exactly what's important and what's not.
Your team talks and collaborates. Shape summarizes, identifies blockers, and proposes next steps.
Mark a discussion as resolved when the matter is settled. Shape will suggest resolution or auto-resolve after 8 days of no activity.
The result is a knowledge-preserving, clutter-free, and perpetually relevant workspace.
Noise-cancelling headphones for your workday
Shape allows teams to focus with no distractions. With features that protect against overwhelm, you have full control of how you work.
Always at inbox zero
Your inbox is finally under your control. With Shape, other people can't just pile on your todos. Only you can add messages to your inbox.
Goodbye unreads
With Shape, you can't mark a message as unread (our favorite feature). Add it to your inbox to revisit it on your own time.
You control the speed
Get notified in real time or every hour; subscribe to all channel activity or just certain discussions.
Teams who use Shape report feeling more productive, happier and more satisfied
Their work doesn't disappear into chat history—it compounds into shared understanding.

Chatrooms for casual conversations
Sometimes you just want to meme. Shape brings team chatrooms and DMs without the chaos. Long messages look great here too.
No typing indicators
Never rush to compete with other senders. Take time to structure your thoughts and hit send when you're ready.

Move from chat, to discussion, to todo
Quickly turn conversation into action. You can easily convert a chat to a discussion, or a discussion to a task to make things happen.
