Chat, woven into the work graph

Ithura Chat is a full conversation surface, channels, direct messages, group DMs, threads, reactions, pins, and a rich composer, that refuses to be a second window. A #PROJ-42 identifier renders as a live task chip that means the same thing everywhere. /task turns a message into a real task, /huddle starts a call in the channel, /page references a wiki page. Mentions land in the same unified Inbox and deep-link back to the message, and chat is reachable from global search and the command palette. Free on every plan.

What-if sprint planning, merged when ready

Try a sprint reshuffle before your team sees it. A plan branch is a named staging area for planning changes: switch to it, change task priorities and move tasks in and out of sprints as usual, and every edit records on the branch instead of touching the live plan. Compare the full before / after, then merge in one click, cherry-pick single rows, or discard. Drift-checked at merge time so a teammate's newer edit is never silently overwritten.

An undo button on the whole task, one day at a time

Ithura's Time Machine captures a canonical snapshot of every task touched in the last 24 hours, then lets any project member preview the field-by-field diff and restore the task back to that day in one click. Audited on the workspace log and on the task's own history feed. Enterprise-only.

Every audit event, streamed to your SIEM in real time

Ithura now streams every workspace audit event to a customer-owned webhook in real time, HMAC-signed with the same scheme used by workspace webhooks and agent-dispatch runners. Zero polling, zero export window, zero cron. Register a URL in Settings, verify one signature in your receiver, and watch events land in Splunk or Elastic within a few hundred milliseconds of the actor clicking the button.

A queue with provenance, not a hosted agent

Ithura's Agent Dispatch Queue hands a task to an agent runner your team controls, on infrastructure your team controls. HMAC-signed both ways, audited on every hop, with a per-run token so a leaked runner secret cannot forge callbacks for other runs. Not a chatbot. Not autonomy-by-default. The shape a tracker should have.

Async video, native to Ithura

Record a screen or webcam clip from any wiki page or issue comment; it uploads to your workspace's own storage and drops in as an inline HTML5 player. No Loom subscription, no external service, no data leaving your infrastructure.

The specs that stop lying

Ithura wiki pages can now embed a live filtered issue block that auto-refreshes every 30s. Drop it in a PRD, a sprint retro doc, an onboarding page: it never rots. Notion's synced blocks are one-way and dumb; this is the two-way binding only a tool with both wiki AND tracker under one binary can ship.

Delivery dates as a probability distribution

Every module and sprint in Ithura now shows a live Monte Carlo forecast: P50 / P85 / P95 dates computed from your team's real 90-day throughput. Drag scope in, the band slides right. Bootstrap sampling, 10k sims, no cloud dependency. The end of astrology-driven target dates.
