Track it. Close it.
Your project tool coordinates the work. But the unplanned tasks in between are never closed. Handit turns your urgent action items into accepted, owned, trackable handoffs, so every ask reaches a clean close.
Teams where one small handoff can move a real deadline
Handit is built for client-facing and cross-functional teams whose work depends on one more thing from someone else.
Approvals
Finance, Legal, or a budget owner needs to make the call before work can move.
Reviews
A proposal, contract, deck, or launch needs one final read before it goes out.
Missing inputs
Delivery is waiting on data, a decision, or a confirmation from another team.
Access requests
A teammate cannot start until IT or an administrator grants the right permission.
Final-file delivery
A client, vendor, or teammate is waiting for the finished file that closes the loop.
Unpredictability is the nature of fast-moving teams.
Important work often stalls on one input from one specific person: an approval, missing data, a review, a decision, access, or a final file.
Today an ask opens and never closes. It goes out in a DM or an email, no one's clearly on the hook, and it slides down the screen. A week later: "any update on that?" The loop stayed open because nothing was holding it.
How it works
Handit is a handoff inbox for unplanned work. It captures messy requests from your head, Slack, email, and the browser. It assigns them to the right person, lets you follow up, and gives teams a clear view of what's needed.
- 1
Capture the ask
"Josh, can you review the Acme proposal before 3?" Forward an email, hit ⌘K, or right-click a page.
- 2
Handit creates the handoff
Owner Josh, due today at 3pm, requester Sarah, status waiting for acceptance.
- 3
Josh accepts, reroutes, or declines
If he accepts, it's his. If he can't help, he reroutes it to the person who can.
- 4
The requester sees the loop close
No chasing. No "any update?" No lost DM.
Your tools were not built for the ask
Your project tool coordinates work, but leaves asks unresolved
Asana, Monday, and Jira are built for planned work: projects, sprints, anything big enough to break into tasks.
But no one opens a ticket for "can you quickly review this." The setup costs more than the ask is worth, so it never goes in. The work is tracked. The ask isn't.
Chat carries asks. It can't close them.
So the ask stays where it was made: Slack, email, or a text. But chat has no owner, no status, no done. It's a river, not a home. The message scrolls away, and the loop stays open until someone remembers to chase it.
That chase, "any update?", is the tax you pay for a loop nothing closed.
Wrong person? Reroute it.
Sometimes the first person asked is not the person who can do the work. In Handit, they don't have to ignore it, decline it, or send another loose message. They can reroute the handoff to the person who actually owns it.
The requester sees where it went. The next owner gets the full context. The trail stays clean.
Handit is the home for the ask
Forward an email, hit ⌘K, or right-click a page. Name a person and a day, and the ask lands on their wall. They accept it, and it's theirs. Status and due date stay in view. When it's done, the person who asked sees it close.
One owner. One status. A clean close. The loop, finally shut.
How the options compare
| Capability | Fast capture | Explicit acceptance | Requester visibility | No project required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chat / email | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Project tools | No | No | Yes | No |
| Ticketing | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Handit | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
"Explicit acceptance" is Handit's strongest differentiator.
Your tools don't do what Handit does
Slack, email, Asana, Jira, and your help desk each handle a slice of work. None of them catches the quick cross-functional asks that fall between systems, gives each one an owner, and keeps it moving to close. Handit does.
Slack and email move the conversation.
They don't make one person accept the ask.
Asana and Jira track planned work.
They don't catch the quick ask that appears mid-day.
Help desks formalize support.
They don't fit every internal handoff.
Handit catches the work between them.
One owner, one status, one clean close.
Beautifully simple on purpose
No boards, sprints, or roadmaps. No custom fields, subtasks, or threads. Everything in Handit points at one thing: closing the ask. It's liberating.
Close the loop on every ask.
