Laver For teams of 3 to 30
You are six people, not six departments. What you need is one place where the board, the writing around it and the jobs nobody wants to do by hand all sit under the same list of names — and nothing to configure before you can use it. That is the whole of Laver.
Free for one workspace, 3 boards and 100 MB · £2.99 incl. VAT per seat per month beyond that · viewers are free
THE REAL THING
Not a mock-up, not a redraw: a screenshot of the running app. The team on it is invented, because nobody's real tickets belong on a marketing page.
Everything a small team actually uses
ONE WEEK, ONE TEAM
A week, in the order it actually happens. Nothing below is planned or nearly ready — it is what you get if you sign up this afternoon.
One board per project, with columns named the way your team already talks: Backlog, To do, In progress, Deployed. Open a ticket and the whole of it is in one place — who has it, what it is for, the dates, the checklist, the labels, the argument in the comments, the file somebody dragged in, and a record of everything that changed. You tell Laver which column means finished, and the rest of the product counts from there.
Boards and columnsMake the board repeat — every 7, 14 or 21 days, or any stretch from 1 to 90. When a sprint closes, Laver opens the next one for you: same columns, same groups, same people, unfinished tickets carried across, finished ones left where they are. The board you just closed is the record of that cycle, which is why nobody spends Friday afternoon writing one.
How sprints roll overThe wiki is a tree of pages belonging to the workspace rather than to any one board, so every member can read it — searchable, with history and attachments, and any page can be made private and shared with named people instead. The brief, the runbook and the reason you picked the thing you picked end up next to the tickets they produced.
Two of you can write the same page at the same time, each watching the other's cursor move with their name on it. Ticket descriptions behave the same way, because it is the same editor.
Wiki pagesEvery board carries its own automation rules, built in the app rather than in a config file. When a ticket lands in Deployed, drop the label and comment on it. Every Monday at 09:00, put up the release checklist. When something has sat in Review for three days, hand it back and raise its priority. A rule is a trigger, some conditions if you want them, and actions picked from a list Laver defines — and every run is written down with what it touched.
2 rules per board on the free plan, as many as you like on the paid one.
Automation rulesPublish a board as a read-only roadmap and it becomes a link with your columns and your unarchived ticket titles on it — no descriptions, no comments, no assignees, no dates. A single wiki page publishes the same way. Both are paid, both are one object at a time, and an owner can switch either off for the whole workspace.
In the other direction, a feedback form takes tickets straight onto a board from people who have no account at all, on either plan. Anyone who needs more than a glimpse comes in as a guest, held to the boards you name.
Sharing and board accessAnyone can issue themselves a workspace-scoped API key. It acts as the person who made it and inherits their board access, so there is no second permission model to keep in your head. Every write says which version it expects, which is what makes an agent and a person safe on the same board at the same time.
curl -X POST https://api.laver.app/boards/$BOARD/tasks \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LAVER_API_KEY" \
-d '{"title": "Flaky checkout test", "status": "To do"}'If the assistant is the client there is nothing to write at all: @laver/mcp is an MCP server, so one config block and
that same key put your board in front of Claude, Cursor or anything
else that speaks MCP.
HONEST FIT
Laver is small and opinionated on purpose: one way to look at a board, a fixed set of fields on a ticket, one home each for people, billing and documentation.
WHAT IT COSTS
Or £23.99 a seat if you pay for the year, on top of a free plan that asks for no card at all — one workspace, 3 boards and 100 MB. There is one paid tier rather than five, and paying lifts the limits instead of unlocking the basics. Viewers are free, and so are commenters and read-only guests. Active owners, admins, members and editing guests count as billable seats. Prices are in British pounds and include UK VAT at 20%; checkout works the tax out from your billing address.
