Programs
Catch program risk before a date slips
A program is a set of projects with a real end date. See the constraint and the owners before the date moves.
For 5–20 person teams
Know what’s on track, what’s at risk, and who owns the next move.
Simple portfolio, program, and project management. $49 per workspace, not per seat.
Built for crews that still talk in the hallway.
The demo is open to anyone. A workspace of your own is free for 30 days, no credit card, then $49/month for the whole crew. Or try it in your terminal.
Interactive demo · no signup required
Turn a sentence into a project plan
Describe the work in plain language. Harbor proposes the tasks, owners, and dates. Review and approve every task and date. Delete the rest.
Opens the Cedar & Co. demo so you can see a board. No account.

- What AI does
- Sends the sentence you type to Anthropic (Claude) and proposes a board: a name, a summary, and 5–8 tasks with dates. It does not read the rest of your workspace.
- What it does not do
- It does not train a Harbor model on your boards. It does not move cards, assign people, or message the crew. You review the draft.
People
Balance load before you assign more
See who is holding work and who has room. Assign from the crew, not a pile of tickets.
Risks & issues
Log the risk before it becomes the issue
One register for risks, issues and decisions, scored and owned, with a review date that nags. Each rating change leaves a trend, so a risk that keeps climbing is visible before it lands.
Forecasting
See spend before it surprises you
A planned burn line against actual spend to date, and a forecast at completion from the burn so far, so you know you're ahead of budget or behind it before the review, not during it.
Works with Claude and other AI apps
Ask your AI how the work is going
Connect Claude, Claude Code or any app that speaks MCP. It reads your harbors as you and, if you let it, keeps them up to date from the conversation you’re already in.
Ask
“What’s late, and what’s on me this week?” “Write up where Footwear stands for Friday.”
Update
Add and update tasks, comment, check in, log a risk. Each change is signed in History: “Aya via Claude”.
Stay in charge
Harbor asks you first, every time. Allow reading only if you like. Nothing an app does deletes work, and one click disconnects it.
For people who live in a shell
Try it in your terminal
Three commands and you have a harbor of your own. Boards, risks, people, the roadmap and History run full screen, every field editable from the keyboard and saved as you go. Your crew sees the same harbor on the web.
Terminal
$ npm install -g @harborppm/cli # Node 22 or later$ harbor signup # make a free account in your browser$ harbor # name your harbor and its first project
- Already have an account?
harbor login, thenharbor. - For scripts and agents:
harbor mine,harbor project,harbor done RR-42, each with--json. An agent can set up programs, projects and tasks end to end. - On the web, the same commands work from a command line at the bottom of the page: turn on Command line at the bottom in your menu, then press
/. harbor open RR-42opens a task on the website, andharbor invitebrings your crew in by email.- Free for 30 days, no card. Changes show in History as “via Harbor CLI”.
Also in every workspace
The small things a real project accumulates — without a setup project of their own.
Custom fields
Text, number, dropdown, or checkbox fields per project — the ones your work actually needs.
Automations
"When priority is set to Urgent, assign it to the lead and leave a note." Simple rules per project, no workflow builder to learn.
Intake forms
A public link for requests — no account needed. Submissions land in the backlog, ready to triage.
Status report in one click
A one-page Markdown status per program: health, budget and forecast, milestones, projects, live risks. Paste it into the Friday thread.
Baselines and the critical chain
Commit the dates once, then see how far each project slipped. The timeline outlines the longest run of dependencies, lag and all.
Shared notes & stakeholder links
A doc per project for specs and decisions, plus a read-only link to share a portfolio's health outside the team.
History and undo
Who changed what, for every portfolio, program and project. Undo takes back your last change, and a deleted project asks first.
Pull requests on tasks
Connect the Harbor GitHub App and name a task’s key, like RR-42, in a pull request. It shows on the task, moves it to review, and finishes it when the pull request merges.
A weekly brief, not another status meeting
Harbor writes a short letter of what’s late, what’s at risk, and who owns the next move. Send it before Monday. Built for crews that still talk in the hallway — so the meeting can be short.
Who Harbor is for
A good fit
- 5–20 people, a handful of real initiatives
- You want portfolio, program, and project in one place
- You would rather not pay per seat
Not a fit
- You need a company-wide work OS or heavy automations
- You want a code issue tracker: keep GitHub or Linear for that, and Harbor above it for the year’s bets and dates (pull requests still show on Harbor’s tasks)
- You already live in Monday or Asana at scale
What $49 unlocks
$49/month per workspace
or $490 a year
Keep is the paid plan for a named workspace, after its 30 free days. Whole crew. No seats. Monday and Asana charge per person. Harbor doesn’t.
Free for 30 days
A workspace of your own with everything in it. No card. The live demo needs no signup at all.
Keep — paid workspace
Your named workspace for the crew. Cancel any month. Boards stay through the period you already paid.
Trust
Harbor is a small product. Your boards are yours. We don’t sell data or train a Harbor model on it. Draft sends only the sentence you type to Anthropic. Export or deletion: write hello@harborppm.com.

Questions
- Who is it for?
- An ops lead, a consultant running client work, a 5–20 person team. A handful of real initiatives — not a thousand tickets.
- Is there a free trial?
- Yes: 30 days with everything, and no credit card. The Cedar & Co. demo is open with no account at all. After 30 days a workspace nobody has subscribed for stays readable, so nothing is lost, and Keep ($49/month for the whole crew) lets you change it again.
- What is Keep?
- Keep is the paid plan: $49/month or $490/year for one named workspace. The whole crew. No seats. It is membership for your workspace, not a lock on the boards.
- What is a named workspace?
- When you start free you give the workspace a name — your company, your practice, your crew. That name is the account. Keep, if you subscribe, attaches to that workspace, not to each person.
- Can it draft a project?
- Yes. Describe the work in a sentence. Harbor proposes a board — name, summary, and tasks with dates. Review and approve every task and date. Delete what isn’t true. Harbor does not move work or message your crew on its own.
- Does it work with Claude or other AI apps?
- Yes. Connect Claude, Claude Code or any app that speaks MCP and ask it what’s late, what’s on you, or where a program stands. If you allow it, it can open programs and projects, add and update tasks, comment, check in and log risks — signed in History with the app’s name. Harbor asks you first, every time, and nothing an app does deletes work. How to connect: harborppm.com/ai.
- How is Harbor different from Monday or Asana?
- Monday and Asana charge per seat and run a lot of tickets. Harbor is one workspace for a 5–20 person crew: portfolios, programs, and projects in one place. No seats. Full comparison at harborppm.com/compare.
- How do I cancel?
- On the pricing page, choose Cancel subscription. Stripe opens — use the email you paid with. You keep the boards through the period you already paid. The next charge does not run. After that the workspace stays unless you ask us to delete it.
