About Quire
Quire is a commercial project management tool whose central idea is the nested task list: any task can be broken into sublists to any depth, so a big goal is split into small steps. It is aimed at teams that plan and collaborate remotely.
The same tasks can be shown as a focused sublist, a Kanban board, a Gantt-style timeline or a calendar. A collaborative document area keeps notes and updates alongside the work, and interactive reports turn task data, time logs and custom formulas into dashboards with a choice of chart styles.
Quire is hosted software with a free sign-up and a pricing page. The vendor lets teams start for free and publishes paid plan details on its site.
