Height

Overview

Height is built for builders. It targets product managers, designers, and engineers who find traditional project management tools clunky and slow. Its philosophy revolves around speed and flexibility, offering a user experience that feels more like a code editor or a high-performance app than a database. It aims to prevent project management from becoming a distraction.

Key Features

Spreadsheet UI

The core task view behaves like a powerful spreadsheet. Users can edit cells, batch update attributes, and create new columns on the fly without navigating through complex settings menus.

Real-time Chat

Communication happens directly within tasks. Users can mention colleagues, discuss implementation details, and share files in a context-aware chat stream, reducing the need to switch back and forth to Slack.

Workflows for Product

Height comes with pre-built workflows optimized for software development, such as bug tracking, sprint planning, and roadmap visualization. It supports custom statuses to match any team’s development lifecycle.

Command Palette

Designed for keyboard power users, the command palette (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K) allows users to perform almost any action—assigning tasks, changing statuses, searching—without ever touching the mouse.

Verdict

Height is a breath of fresh air in a crowded market. It strips away the bloat of enterprise suites and focuses purely on looking good and moving fast. while it may not have the extensive feature list of a Wrike or ClickUp, it is often superior for focused product teams that value speed and developer experience above all else.
