Hey Product Hunters Novakin here, Third time launching here. First two times the product wasn't ready. This time it is. Here's what's different: THE CORE PROBLEM WE SOLVED Agencies and freelancers spend hours translating a messy client brief into something their team can actually execute from. We eliminated that entirely. Paste any client email or upload a doc. Plannex reads it and builds your entire project canvas automatically. Parallel workstreams, approval gates, revision loops, client portal. From one messy email. WHAT SHIPPED IN THIS VERSION The Canvas, not a list, not a board. A living visual map of how your project actually flows. Nodes connect, gates fire, clients get updated. Everything in one place. Gate Nodes, logic nodes that watch multiple upstream nodes and unlock downstream work automatically when conditions are met. Set the rule: all must be done, any one, or X of Y. Nothing moves forward until the right conditions are met. No manual follow-up. Client Pulse, scheduled client snapshots delivered automatically via email, Slack, or Discord. No login required on the client side. Your client stays informed without you lifting a finger. Delivery Suite, the complete client-facing layer. Status overview, approvals, deliverables, reports, timeline, and the client portal. Everything your client needs to see, nothing they don't. Project Insights, revision rate, approval velocity, budget burn, estimated vs actual time, timeline health. One screen. Full picture. The data that actually changes decisions. Issue Pinning, flag an issue on any node without changing its status. Plannex highlights every downstream node affected and lets you decide how to handle each one. The flow history stays intact. Nothing gets lost. AI Brief Intake, paste a client email, free text, or upload a .md, .pdf, or .docx. Plannex reads it, extracts workstreams, identifies approval chains, and builds your entire canvas automatically. List View and Phase View, same nodes, different lenses. Sort by assignee, status, due date. See everything collapsed into phases with completion at a glance. Bulk update nodes! Countdown Node, connect it to a deadline or set it manually. Multiple warning phases, upcoming, due soon, overdue. Sits on your canvas so everyone sees it. AND TODAY WE ARE ANNOUNCING EXTENSIONS Plannex soon will publiush Extensions Marketplace. Every extension is free, locked only by plan, never by additional charge. No add-ons. No marketplace fees. No surprises.

Your bill grows every time you need something new. Plannex is different. Every extension is included in your plan. Install what you need, uninstall what you don't. Your data is always preserved. No hidden costs. THE HONEST PART I built Plannex as a solo developer at first because I couldn't find a tool that handled the full agency workflow, brief to delivery, without switching between 4 different products. It's still early. There are rough edges. But the core is solid and getting sharper every week. If you run client projects, or freelance try it. If something doesn't work the way you expect, tell me here in the comments. I read everything and ship fast. Product Hunt exclusive: HUNT30 — 30% off Pro for 3 months.
