Portfolio, program and project management
Portfolios hold programs, and programs hold projects. Tick off a task and its program’s progress and its portfolio’s health move with it, so every level is current without a status report. Start with one project and add the levels above when you need them.
Works with Claude and other AI apps · no AI add-on to buy
Connect Claude, Claude Code or any app that speaks MCP. It reads your harbors as you, keeps them up to date from the conversation you’re in, and can take tasks of its own as a member of the crew. You use the AI you already have; Harbor doesn’t charge for it.
YouWhat’s late on Ridge Runner, and what’s on me this week?
ClaudeTwo tasks are late: RR‑14 Confirm the sole supplier (Mara, 3 days) and RR‑21 Dye lot sign-off (you, 1 day). This week you also have the trim review on Thursday.
YouGive RR‑21 to our Claude agent and log a risk: the dye lot may slip two weeks.
ClaudeDone. RR‑21 is on Claude’s list now, and the risk is on Ridge Runner’s register, owned by you.
“What’s late, and what’s on me this week?” “Write up where Footwear stands for Friday.” Answers come from your harbor as it is now.
Add and move tasks, comment, check in, log a risk, from the conversation you’re already in. Each change is signed in History: “Aya via Claude”.
Add Claude to People as an agent and give it tasks like anyone else. It picks them up, says what it did, and moves each to review for a person to check. It never marks its own work done.
Harbor asks you first, every time. Allow reading only if you like. Nothing an app does deletes work, and one click disconnects it.

This is part of the demo company’s shoe launch. Finish a task, start one, cut one or add one, and the forecast answers the way it does in Harbor: from how fast this crew really works.
Or start from your own notes
Notes, an email, a to-do list. Each line becomes a task, a name its owner, “by Friday” its due date, and a worry a risk. Edit the example or paste your own.
Store reopening · 4 tasks · 1 risk
Worked out in your browser: no AI reads your notes and nothing is sent while you type. Keep this board makes a harbor of your own with the board in it; Open it in the demo puts it beside Cedar & Co.’s work, no account.
Inside a harbor
Forecast
Harbor replays the coming weeks a thousand times from how many tasks the crew actually closed each week lately. No estimates, no story points: “probably Nov 12, very likely by Nov 18”, the chance of making the due date, and what each week late would cost.
The long pole
The long pole is the one line of waiting tasks that sets the date, first blocker to last, with who has each one and how many days it can slip. Under it, barnacles: the work that grew onto the plan since the baseline, and how much of the slip it explains.
Bridge mode
Bridge mode gives each project one screen with only what changed since last week. Press D, A or R to log a decision, an action or a risk as the room agrees it. Projects where nothing moved are skipped, and the summary can go to the program's Slack, Discord, Teams or Google Chat channel.
People
See who is holding work and who has room. Work only one person knows gets flagged, with someone nearby who could be a second pair of hands.
Programs
A program is a set of projects with a real end date. See the constraint and the owners before the date moves.
Risks, issues and decisions
One register for risks, issues and decisions, scored and owned, with a review date that nags. Each decision keeps why it was made and what was turned down, and comes back when it is time to look again.

Only on Harbor
A few of Harbor’s tools take their names from ships and harbors. Each one answers a plain question; the name is just how the crew remembers it.
Every project is a boat; the farther from port, the longer until it’s likely done. Press Night, or leave it full screen on the office wall after seven: the sea goes dark, a lighthouse sweeps the water, and a cabin light stays on where someone worked in the last two hours.
Ridge Runner launch
Navigation redesign, off track
A project’s key, flown in the International Code of Signals beside its name. When it goes off track it also flies Victor: “I require assistance”.
Each person gets a hull that sinks as work comes due over the next three weeks, and goes under its line when there’s more than they can close. Programs get one for their crew.
One program asks another for something by a day, and the other takes it on through one of its projects. If that project’s forecast lands after the day, the side that asked hears about it before the day, not on it.
Look again after
from the day it’s marked Done.
Before a project closes, say what should be true afterwards and when to look. On the day, Harbor asks whether it was: yes, partly or no, kept with the project.

Switching from another tool
No migration project. Export what you have, drop the file in, and the board you know shows up in Harbor, owners and dates included.
Jira’s CSV, Asana’s CSV, a Trello board’s JSON, a monday.com or Smartsheet workbook, or rows pasted from a spreadsheet.
Harbor recognizes the tool, matches its columns and shows what each row becomes before anything is saved. Fix a column with one pick.
Owners, dates, status, priority, what waits on what, and subtasks come over. People named in the file can be invited, and Undo takes the whole import back.
For people who live in a shell
Three commands and you have a harbor of your own. Boards, risks, people, the roadmap and History run full screen, every field editable from the keyboard and saved as you go. Your crew sees the same harbor on the web.
$ npm install -g @harborppm/cli # Node 22 or later$ harbor signup # make a free account in your browser$ harbor # name your harbor and its first project
ssh try.harborppm.com opens the same app on the demo harbor. Nothing to install, no account, and nothing you change is kept.harbor login, then harbor.harbor mine, harbor project, harbor done RR-42, each with --json. An agent can set up programs, projects and tasks end to end.No setup project
The small things a real project accumulates, without a setup project of their own.

Built in the open
Harbor changes in small, tested steps, most days. Every change is written up in plain words, and the roadmap shows what’s being built now.
The morning reminder email has Harbor's look.
Drag cards on a project's board with your finger.
The try-it board feels like a real one.
Harbor is a small product. Your boards are yours. We don’t sell data or train a Harbor model on it. Draft sends only the sentence you type to Anthropic. Export or deletion: write hello@harborppm.com.
Built by a consultant who spent fifteen years running government programs on tools someone else chose.
An ops lead, a consultant running client work, a 5–20 person team. A handful of real initiatives — not a thousand tickets.
Yes: 30 days with everything, and no credit card. The Cedar & Co. demo is open with no account at all. After 30 days a harbor nobody has subscribed for stays readable, so nothing is lost, and Keep ($49/month for the whole crew) lets you change it again.
Keep is the paid plan: $49/month or $490/year for one named harbor. The whole crew. No seats. It is membership for your harbor, not a lock on the boards.
When you start free you give the harbor a name — your company, your practice, your crew. That name is the account. Keep, if you subscribe, attaches to that harbor, not to each person.
Yes. Describe the work in a sentence. Harbor proposes a board — name, summary, and tasks with dates. Review and approve every task and date. Delete what isn’t true. Harbor does not move work or message your crew on its own.
Yes. Connect Claude, Claude Code or any app that speaks MCP and ask it what’s late, what’s on you, or where a program stands. If you allow it, it can open programs and projects, add and update tasks, comment, check in and log risks — signed in History with the app’s name. Harbor asks you first, every time, and nothing an app does deletes work. How to connect: harborppm.com/ai.
It counts how many tasks each project's crew actually finished in each of the last few weeks, then replays the coming weeks a thousand times, each week drawing one of those real counts, until the open tasks run out. That gives a likely date and a very likely one. Holidays and time away count, and work added later moves it out. With only a handful of finished tasks to go on, it says the forecast is rough.
Monday and Asana charge per seat and run a lot of tickets. Harbor gives a 5–20 person crew one harbor: portfolios, programs, and projects in one place. No seats. Full comparison at harborppm.com/compare.
On the pricing page, choose Cancel subscription. Stripe opens — use the email you paid with. You keep the boards through the period you already paid. The next charge does not run. After that the harbor stays unless you ask us to delete it.
