We mainly use Stackfield to keep track of projects, tasks and day-to-day communication. What I like is that I don’t have to search through different tools to find a file or figure out what the latest status of a task is.

We switched to Stackfield after getting frustrated with juggling three or four different tools just to run one project, and honestly it solved that problem better than I expected. Everything sits in one place: Kanban boards for the day-to-day tasks, a Gantt view when we need to plan out the bigger milestones, and a wiki for all the process documentation that used to live in scattered Word docs nobody could find. The task management alone would justify the switch, but it's the combination that...

Comments and Reviews
Stackfield can be an excellent alternative to collaboration tools like Slack and task management apps like Todoist or Asana.
It allows teams to work within rooms (e.g. each room corresponding to a project), message each other, assign and share tasks and track progress from different perspective: what different workers are up to, color-coded calendars corresponding to specific projects or everything together. The calendar has a day, week, month and agenda view.
It's very refreshing to find a task management app that realizes the convenience of integrating directly a calendar in the same place.
Stackfield's greatest advantage - which, I fear, far too few will value - is that it enables end-to-end encrypted messaging and file sharing. A team can work within a project in which contents are encryped/decrypted on the client computers, meaning that the data is impossible to snoop on my Slackfield, its admins or to any hackers, if they ever breached the company's servers. In case you don't appreciate the significance of this, consider that popular "productivity" apps - in fact, almost any you can think of - doesn't offer such encryption. At best, companies like Dropbox and Slack might encrypt customer data server-side, which means that they receive it, then encrypt it themselves using a key they hold onto. That means a) they can view it, b) lose it, or c) be forced by law to give it up. All of which has happened to the likes of Dropbox and Evernote. It's simply a terrible security/privacy model. End-to-end encrypted services have typically been file backup/sync services like Spideroak or Tresorit. However, Stackfield breaks the mold here in offering collaboration, task management and file sharing. Whether you find it as convenient is one thing, but it's much more secure than 99% of the alternatives.
Perhaps Stackfield's biggest weakness it that it has no iPhone or Android app.

What I didn't expect to like this much is the video calls. You're already in the project, so you just hit call, no extra app to install, no extra license to buy for someone external who's joining. If I need to walk a colleague through something, I just share my screen right there. For a small team, that saves more hassle than you'd think (one less login, one less tool to explain to new people).
The other thing that matters a lot to us is that Stackfield is a German provider with real end-to-end encryption and data hosted in Germany. We work with clients who ask pointed questions about where their data sits, and being able to answer that clearly without a caveat is worth a lot. It's not just a checkbox either, since I've noticed it actually shapes how the whole platform is built, not something bolted on afterward.
Support has also been consistently good. I've had a couple of setup questions and getting an answer usually took minutes rather than the usual back-and-forth of a support ticket.
Would recommend it to any team that's outgrown a simple to-do list or a team that wants the same feature depth without the US data hosting of the bigger enterprise platforms.
Looks good but VERY expensive for a non profit community
I was searching for an end-to-end encrypted alternative to Slack and found it with Stackfield! In addition, we are now able to work with tasks and calendars without the need to switch between different tools. Definitely a great tool that simplifies our daily work!
I have tried almost any project-management tool there is. I could never get used to Asana. Wunderlist is great, but it is not ideal to upload, preview und comment picutes (screenshots) and have group conversations.
Since I discovered Stackfield I don't need to look any further!
I <3 it
