Chirp (OS X)

Chirp (OS X) Publisher's Description:
Chirp is a group project task management & collaboration software tool. It helps you keep your finger on work being done by teammates in one or many projects. Enter task assignments big and small, then use the dashboard to identify trouble areas, or create reports to provide to your managers.

Chirp automatically synchronizes project information, task assignments and status updates between everyone on your team using the Plum Canary sync service. As you assign tasks in a project to new users, they automatically get added to the project team list, and immediately gain visibility into all team information.

Unlike web-based project management systems, which can't be used when you are not connected to the Internet, Chirp maintains a copy of all project and task information on your computer. Chirp will automatically update your entire project team with the changes once you get connected again.

Chirp is fully cross-platform, working identically on Windows and Mac, so everyone on your team can be fully integrated.

And you can try before you buy. Chirp is available in a 30-day trial for you and your team to use for free so you can get better at managing people, and meeting deadlines -- using Chirp.

What's new in this version:

* Task tags: Tags are a new way of associating tasks with each other into groups other than Projects.
* Nobody assignees: Nobody assignees are a new feature that allows tasks to be created and not assigned to an actual person. Instead, users can enter an assignee name in the form #somename as a placeholder for a future assignee.
* Undated task ordering (preference): A new preference setting is available (on the Operation page) that controls whether tasks with no due date set are shown before, or after dated tasks.
* Status history readability improvements: On Windows, (read-only) task status history entries are now made much more readable, with sharp black text on a grey background.
* OS X launch services: Daily email reminders contain links that can launch Chirp. Until this release, these links only worked for Windows users. This release adds support for OS X users.
* RYG status update interval change: This release reduces the frequency of how often Chirp checks to change RYG status entries from every second to every 60 seconds. (This provides a short window where improper / accidental date changes can be corrected before Chirp automatically changes an RYG status, and creates a bogus status history entry.)
