Project management that already speaks your trade
Most work apps are empty boxes you bend to fit your job. Ctrldesk ships with your job already built in — real project management and task management, with capacity planning and QC sign-off — plus tools made for your profession.
A complete platform under every edition
Whatever your profession, you get the work-management engine that every team needs — done properly.
Projects & tasks
Statuses, priorities, dependencies, sub-tasks, per-task roles with budgeted hours and time tracking — with reusable blueprints to start new projects in one click.
Capacity planner
Pick anyone by name and see their real workload week by week — booked vs hours-left, by project and by client, and how their hours split across the roles they play. Never over-commit.
Gantt timeline
See the whole programme at a glance — durations, dependencies and where the pressure is.
QC sign-off
A real quality pipeline: editable checklists, one- or two-checker sign-off, automatic rework on a fail, and an AI spec-vs-deliverable check.
Branded reports
Every report opens as one clean, branded document — save as PDF or print — plus Excel (CSV) exports across the app.
Cloud workspace
Embed each project's SharePoint, Google Drive or Dropbox workspace right beside its tasks — your files where the work is.
Comms in one place
Keep every conversation about a project together — link its Teams, Slack or WhatsApp, start a group chat or email the whole team in a click, message a teammate on WhatsApp, and optionally record emails into the project just by BCC.
Teams & sharing
Sync across devices, invite your team, and share a whole project — or a single task by link — with per-member roles and permissions.
Notifications, your way
A tidy notification bell you control — choose exactly what reaches you, and switch a daily email summary on or off.
Generate Project Proposal
Win the bid: drop in the tender, brief, contract or spec and get a finished proposal grounded in your own documents. It reads every requirement into a compliance matrix so no clause is missed, builds a fee table by role and division, and never invents a figure. Edit every word, export a branded PDF or Word, then turn it straight into the project's tasks.
Studio — AI content maker
Turn a short brief into finished, on-brand content — social posts per platform, emails, one-pagers, proposals, SOPs and more. Edit every word, then copy, save a PDF, or reuse it as a template.
Design studio — design anything
A full design canvas built in: social posts, posters, one-pagers, proposals, certificates — any size. Start from a template on your brand colours and logo, drag blocks, generate images with AI, and export a real PNG, PDF, PowerPoint or Word file. No Canva, no Microsoft — and your digital employee can compose one from a brief.
Growth — develop your people
A calm, private space for owners & leaders to sit down one person at a time and think through their strengths, growth areas and next moves — with AI to help shape your notes. Not a dashboard; a human conversation.
It already speaks your trade — whatever your trade is
Set your occupation and Ctrldesk tunes itself to you: it relabels projects, suggests the registers and blueprints your trade actually uses, and shows the tools that fit — hiding the ones that don't. Every profession gets a real fit, not a generic box you bend to your work.
Project & programme managers
RAID logs, risk registers and action logs — with capacity planning and QC sign-off.
Engineers
Electrical, mechanical, civil, automation — tailored registers (equipment, cable schedules, I/O lists), cable-sizing calculators, SCADA tag export and real quality control. Lay out a panel back-plate, view it in 3D, and export a genuine IFC (BIM) model for Revit or Navisworks.
Architects & designers
Drawing registers, room schedules, revisions and issue tracking.
Construction & site teams
Snag lists, site diaries, inspection registers and handover.
Operations & quality
SOP registers, asset registers and a two-stage QC pipeline.
Marketing & PR
Content calendars, campaign trackers, media contacts & coverage — plus an on-brand content studio.
Consultants & agencies
Deliverables trackers, action logs, branded reports and client-ready output.
Real estate
Property listings, viewings, and buyer ↔ listing matching.
Software teams
Release logs, bug registers and QC on every deliverable.
…and any occupation
Not listed? The full core is yours — and you can build your own registers, blueprints and terminology to fit exactly how you work.
Generic tools make you do the adapting
Made by people in the work
Ctrldesk is built and used by working professionals and pressure-tested on real projects — each profession's tools shaped by people who actually do that job, not bolted on by outsiders.
Depth where it counts
Real QC sign-off, real capacity planning, real client-ready output — the things spreadsheets and sticky-note apps can't do.
