Superthread is available as a desktop app for macOS and a mobile app for iOS:

The desktop app provides full access to all features, while the iOS app is specifically designed for note transcription.

​
Create Your Workspace

When you first sign up, you’ll create a Workspace - typically named after your company or organization. This is where all your work happens.

​
Invite Your Team

Superthread works best when your entire team is in the same Workspace. Invite people by:

  1. Clicking the ‘Invite’ button at the bottom of the sidebar
  2. Going to Settings > Workspace > Members

​
Core Concepts

​
Spaces

Spaces help organize your work into smaller groups. They contain Boards, Pages, and team members. Spaces can be:

  • Open - available for all workspace members to browse and join
  • Private - only accessible to invited members (available on paid plans)

To create a space:

  1. Click the + button next to “Your Spaces” in the sidebar
  2. Enter a name and choose an icon
  3. Add team members (optional)
  4. Choose visibility (open/private)

​
Boards

Boards visualize your workflow and contain cards. You can:

  • Create boards in any space
  • Choose from four layouts: Board (default), List, Timeline, or Calendar
  • Customize statuses to match your workflow
  • Group and sort cards by various properties
  • Filter cards using the F shortcut
  • Enable email-to-board for creating cards via email

​
Cards

Cards are your basic units of work (tasks, issues, tickets). You can:

  • Create cards using the C shortcut from anywhere
  • Add properties like assignee, priority, due date, and tags
  • Break down work using parent → child relationships
  • Convert text to cards from pages
  • Create cards via email (when enabled in board settings)
  • Link cards to GitHub pull requests for status automation
  • Use effort estimation (Fibonacci points, T-shirt sizes, etc.)
  • Create relationships between cards (blocking, blocked by, related to)

​
Sprints

Sprints are time-boxed work periods for teams to complete predefined work. When enabled for a space, you can:

  • Set sprint length (1-8 weeks) and start day
  • Configure cooldown periods between sprints
  • Automatically roll over unfinished cards to the next sprint
  • Link cards to GitHub pull requests for status automation
  • View current, upcoming, and completed sprints
  • Favorite sprints for quick access

​
Projects

Projects represent large initiatives or epics on your roadmap. You can:

  • Create projects in the Roadmap board
  • Convert existing cards into projects
  • Assign project owners and icons
  • Track project progress through customizable statuses
  • Subscribe to project status changes
  • Link related cards to projects

​
Pages

Pages are collaborative documents for documentation, specs, and notes. You can:

  • Create pages using the P shortcut
  • Use rich text, images, markdown, and inline comments
  • Organize content with subpages
  • Share pages publicly when needed
  • Convert text to cards directly from pages
  • Use page templates for consistent formatting
  • Add icons and cover images for better visibility
