Features
A kanban that keeps its own schedule honest.
Narcove was built around a single observation: the schedule on every project tool gradually stops matching reality. Narcove fixes that — automatically, where it can; transparently, where it can't.
The Tide
Cascade replan that runs itself
Move a card. Downstream cards shift automatically. Pull-forwards apply on the fly. Push-backs over a threshold surface for review with a one-click revert.
AI Planning
Honest time estimates and auto-scheduled plans
Time guesses with min and max ranges, drawn from your past work. Plan-with-AI reads a backlog, infers dependencies, and lays out a schedule. Both stay grounded in what your team has actually shipped.
Client portals
Public submission portals on every plan
Each project gets a /r/your-slug URL. Clients submit, watch the kanban update live, and never need a login. Branded with your own domain on Team.
The Chart
Gantt with target vs projection bars
Cursor-anchored Hour/Day/Week/Month zoom. Critical path glows cobalt. UK bank holidays striped out. Solid bars are commitments; hatched bars are projections.
The Harbour
Maritime kanban with Adrift flag
Six states — Harbour, Open Water, Underway, In Tow, At Anchor, Ashore — instead of To Do / Doing / Done. Adrift cards float to the top automatically.
For agencies
Multi-workspace, branded portals
Separate workspace per client. Custom-domain portals on Team. Studio-wide capacity view across every editor and project. £99 flat-5 or £29/seat (+ VAT).
What ties it together
Three ideas that show up in every feature
The schedule maintains itself. The Tide is the obvious one — when work moves, the rest of the plan moves with it. But the same idea runs through everything else. Soundings updates time guesses as your team finishes work. The Adrift flag fires automatically on cards that have stalled. The Chart re-computes the critical path after every change. Nothing waits for you to keep it accurate.
You see the working. Every AI guess shows the past cards it's based on. Every cascade writes a one-line reason. Every projection is a current-state projection, not a hopeful one. We never give you a number without showing you where it came from. You stay in control because you can always see the working.
The people watching pay nothing. Public client portals are free, on every tier. Stakeholders, clients, customers, and execs read the live board without a paid seat. We charge for editors — the people doing the work. That decision shapes the whole product: the portal isn't an afterthought, it's the same data with private fields filtered out.
Read deeper
Each feature has its own page
We didn't want a marketing tour where every feature gets two sentences. Every feature page above answers what it does, how it works, when it's useful, and what it isn't. Pick the one that matters most for your team. If you're not sure which to read, start with The Tide: it's the part of Narcove that most teams notice first.
Or read by team type
Same product, different priorities
The features above work the same for every team. But which ones matter most depends on what you do. Freelancers care most about the public portal and honest time guesses. Marketing teams care most about the cascade replan when briefs slip. SaaS teams care most about the public roadmap and bug intake. Agencies care about multi-workspace and branded portals.
Free for one project. Card cascades and forward-pull included.
