All capabilities
The full feature library, grouped by topic.
Everything about a project, in one place.
Each project keeps its chat, tasks, issues, documents and past calls together. You don’t connect anything.
One place per project
Open a project, a lead, or a partner and everything about it is there: the conversation, the tasks, the issues, the history, the documents.
- Talk
- The project's own conversation. Meetings, notes, GitHub, and agents post event lines into it. The thread is the project's log
- Tasks and issues
- Tasks live on the project. Link a GitHub repository and you read, answer, and close its issues here. Starlings posts every GitHub change in Talk
- Goals and decisions
- A goal states what the tasks and the agents work toward. A decision records what the team settled, once, with its source: typed, a line in Talk, a Claude, or the meeting notes
- Questions waiting on you
- On the web, an assigned agent question appears in Home and Work Inbox with its sender. Answer with buttons or dismiss it; the conversation shows the same result. Mac and iPhone currently answer questions inside chat
- Decisions waiting on you
- An agent puts a question to you with its options, a recommendation and a default-by day. It heads INBOX on the web, the Mac and the phone; one tap answers it, and the agent reads the answer back
- History
- Interactions and quiet event lines about this project in one chronological list
- Activity
- Catch up in Work on Mac, iPhone, iPad and web: the latest 30 entries from the past seven days across your subjects, each opening History
- Documents
- The documents about this subject, from Docs, beside the work
- Starlings about this
- Start a room from the project. Starlings files the call on the project before it starts, so its transcript and tasks go to the project
- Who is responsible
- Name the person who answers for a project or a lead. Until someone is named, the person with the most open tasks shows as suggested
- One record
- Starlings, GitHub and your agents read and write the same project
- Works on
- Mac, Web, iPhone and iPad
Tasks
Everything you owe, on the project it belongs to.
- Create
- From a message, a call, or a quick note
- Hand off
- To a colleague or an agent
- Move to…
- Onto another project or lead. Nothing else about it changes
- Close
- Done or cancelled from any row's menu
- Works on
- Mac, Web, iPhone and iPad
Issues
GitHub issues, read and answered inside the project.
- Read, comment, close
- In Starlings, not on GitHub. Close or reopen from any row's menu

- Works on
- Mac, Web, iPhone and iPad
Tasks from transcripts
Starlings finds a commitment in the transcript and proposes it as a task.
- When
- Starlings checks during the call and again when it ends
- From the notes
- Starlings proposes each action item in the notes on the call's project or lead, with the owner, the deadline, and the exact quote
- The follow-up
- After a call with people outside your team, the host gets a drafted follow-up next to the call's tasks. Approve opens it in your own mail app. Starlings never sends it
- Accept
- Pick the project and who owes it. The task has no owner or date until someone accepts it
- Source
- The task links to the call it came from
- Works on
- Mac, Web, iPhone and iPad
Messages
One conversation per person, group, or project. The same thread on every device.
- Where
- Everyone, a group, a person, or a project
- Compose
- @mentions, files, link previews, and Markdown formatting
- After
- React to any message, including your own. Save your own message as a Quick Note copy to triage later; edit or withdraw it. Mute for a week
- Works on
- Mac, Web, iPhone and iPad
Quick Notes
Write a private note now. File it into shared work later.
- Capture
- Mac, phone, browser, or copy your own message from Team or Work Talk. Dictate from the watch. Only you see an unfiled note
- File
- Search projects and leads beyond the first page, or filter conversations as you type. File as a task, issue, message or document; the destination's access rules apply
Every meeting, transcribed
Zoom, Teams, Webex, or Google Meet: your Mac records the call, writes the transcript, and files it with your Starlings meetings.
- Record
- From the menu bar, or one click when a call starts. A minute before a calendar event with a call link, Launch & Record opens it and starts
- Transcribe
- On the Mac. Speakers named; a Zoom call reads its own roster for who is speaking. The audio stays on your Mac
- File
- Starlings files the transcript and summary on the project, with your Starlings calls
Docs
Your company second brain. Standards, playbooks, research and working documents, connected to the projects they inform.
- Company memory
- Keep standards, playbooks and research in one shared knowledge base, with links between documents
- Context for agents
- Authorized agents can read source documents and file their drafts beside the work
- Versions
- Every save, with a message
- Comments
- On a passage, on every device
- Graph
- Explore linked documents grouped by folder on Mac, iPhone, iPad and web. Filter folders, then pan and zoom to explore
- Links
- Paste or drop a URL and Docs saves the page, with screenshots. A link saved on a project is filed on that project
- Folders

Every card has a stage
Tasks and issues move through the same stages. An agent works a card until Review. Starlings logs every move in the project.
- One vocabulary
- Queued, doing, review, blocked, done. A Core task and a GitHub issue read through the same stages
- A board on every project
- Drag a card to another column, or move it from its menu, on Mac, web, iPhone and iPad
- Your view
- Show only the cards people hold, or only an agent's. Hide the columns you do not use, on every device
- GitHub issues
- On a project with a repository, the issue's label sets its stage and the issue thread is its history
- Agents on the board
- A card an agent is working on shows the agent's last update. Anyone can take the card back
- You accept the work
- An agent never moves a card to Done. It stops at Review, and the card waits in the Inbox of the person who answers for it
- Log
- Starlings writes one line into the project's Talk for each move
- Works on
- Mac, Web, iPhone and iPad

Calls that file their own notes.
Send a link and guests join from a browser, with no account. The host’s device writes the transcript, and Starlings files it on the project.

Work with people outside your team.
Share one project with a client or a partner company. They see that project and nothing else, and their agents can work in it too.
Private until you share it.
Quick Notes and personal calendars stay private. Anything you file into a project, conversation, document or the company calendar takes that place's access rules.
Private by default
Your quick notes and personal calendar sources are yours alone.
- Quick Notes
- On iPhone and iPad, New Quick Note stays in the Home bar. Only you see an unfiled note until you file it as a task, issue, message, or document
- Calendars
- Additional Google accounts, iCloud, On My Mac, and personal subscriptions stay in your calendar view
- Preferences
- Your calendar display, timezone, weather, and other personal settings stay yours
Mac, iPhone, and the browser.
The native apps and the web app share the same building blocks.
Native apps
Built for each platform, at parity. The same rooms, the same workspace, the same Home.
- Mac
- AppKit. Host from the window or the menu bar. Home, Calendar, Work, Team, and Docs in tabs or separate windows, chosen in Appearance settings. Quit to the menu bar and keep recording. Updates itself
- iPhone and iPad
- SwiftUI. Host and transcribe on the phone. Live Activity for the call, widgets for the next meeting, today's agenda, and today's work
- Apple Watch
- What is next, who is waiting, and your quick notes: read, add, delete
- Web
- The full workspace, signed in. Guests join with nothing to install
- Workspaces
- One Mac or iPhone app for every workspace you belong to. Switch from the Starlings menu on the Mac, or from Settings on iPhone
For everyone.
Every control works with a screen reader and a keyboard.
Accessibility
Every control says what it does. The room announces who joins, who leaves, and who raises a hand.
- Labels
- Icon-only controls on Mac, iPhone and the web have a spoken label that names the action, not the symbol. A control with a word on it has no tooltip
- In the room
- A screen reader hears people join and leave and hands go up, in the order they happen. Nothing is read twice
- Text size
- The iPhone app follows Dynamic Type all the way up. Rows wrap instead of truncating; dense calendar grids hand off to the list beside them
- Contrast
- Increase Contrast on the Mac and prefers-contrast in the browser make thin lines solid and muted text dark
- Motion
- Reduce Motion is respected on every client. Reactions fade in place instead of flying
- Keyboard
- Every page starts with a skip link. Focus is a visible ring on every control, and the main verbs have shortcuts on the Mac
