Kanban for client work
Every priority and conversation on one board.
Plan client work, assign owners, decide what matters, discuss the details, and connect every task to its hours in TurtleTime.
Shelly AI in Tides
From a rough task to a clear next step.
Use /ai inside the task editor to draft a brief or checklist. Select task content to improve the wording, summarise it or change the tone.
- Polish task content. Turn rough instructions into something your team can act on.
- Polish comments. Clean up an update before posting it, without leaving the conversation.
- Ask Shelly in the sidebar. Work with your task, project and linked knowledge context while the board stays in view.
One connected workflow
From intake to done, context stays on the card.
Tides keeps planning, decisions, and discussion close to the task, so the board reflects how the project is actually moving.
Plan the project
Change the view, not the data.
Move between board, list, and timeline while every task keeps its project, client, owner, dates, and status.

Keep the context
A task is more than a title.
Client, project, owner, dates, tags, subtasks, relations, attachments, and activity stay together.

Integrations & Shelly Bridge
Your board belongs in the wider workflow.
Connect the tools your team already uses. Shelly Bridge gives you a place to review and match supported client, project and task records, while connected apps add useful context for Shelly AI.
Keep external work connected to the right project, then link Kraken knowledge and TurtleTime hours to the task.
Start with TidesTides + TurtleTime
Start in Tides. Return with the hours.
Open TurtleTime from the assigned task, run the timer there, and bring the logged time back to the same task and workspace.

The thinking behind the board.

Linear is simple. Jira is detailed. We needed a third thing.
A simple board with the extra detail a client project actually has: hours, a document, and an inbox for the agent.

You can read this software. That is the point.
Linear is closed. Jira Cloud is someone else’s attic. Tides is part of a suite you can run.
