Rise helps you schedule, optimize and protect your day to give you more time for what’s important. It’s a beautiful calendar and project manager that helps you set direction, have clarity and make progress. You are in charge.
Hi ProductHunt!
Today, we’re launching Rise 2.0. This release adds the three most requested features: tasks&projects, mobile and first class support for Outlook.
It’s our mission to help you and your team have more time for what’s important. We already helped thousands of users with features like best time to meet, FocusGuard and our external scheduling links that highlight optimal times. We’re excited to introduce these three major additions and hope you’ll love them as much as we do.
Blocking off time for tasks is a battle tested way of getting things done. In Rise, you can now manage your tasks and projects within one app. Here’s what makes Rise Projects unique:
** Seamless integration with your calendar**
In Rise you can create, modify and drag tasks around like any other event. Setting a due date on a task automatically makes it show up in the all day section, from where you can easily drag it into your schedule. You can also easily duplicate any task with Command+D (or Ctrl+D on Windows), or use Alt+drag to quickly create a copy of your tasks. This does not only work from the calendar, but from anywhere within Rise.
** Meeting Boards help have more effective meetings**
For any internal recurring event, you can create a Meeting Board from Rise with a single click. We'll make sure all attendees (and only they) will get access to that meeting board. In your calendar, you'll see that this event will show a nice progress indicator, highlighting the progress for the meeting. From the board, you can easily add new tasks, assign them to the relevant participant and keep those items on track.
**One view for focus**
Mapping out your day is a really powerful way to make sure you're prioritizing what is right. This is why we built My Focus: one page to look at and combine your key tasks with meetings that are coming up. It really quickly became our most favorite page in Rise and we hope you'll love it too.
Next to this major upgrade, we have a big announcement for Outlook users. You can now link and use your Microsoft account to Rise and manage your time in one place. In Rise you can connect as many Google and Outlook accounts to a single Rise account as you want. Use our smart features like cross-calendar blocking, focus guard and scheduling links to make it easier than ever to protect your time.
Last but not least: Rise is now available on the go as well, with our app for iOS. Our Android app is close behind – we're running a closed alpha right now.
We're hanging out here to answer any questions you might have! Thanks for giving Rise a try :)
