How to use it ↗
Make the next step obvious
A plan people
can work with.
Give work an owner. See who has room. Keep the decision and the reason together, so the next conversation starts with context.
- Shared tasks, sprint goals and measurable objectives
- Self-declared capacity—not productivity scores
- Accepted handoffs and decisions with review dates
Keep the human part human
Better support.
Not more admin.
A thoughtful welcome. A useful one-on-one. A thank-you that doesn’t get forgotten. Make room for the moments that hold a team together.
- Onboarding checklists with a buddy
- Private agendas, approvals and leave requests
- Kudos, virtual coins and fair team rotations
Built for the way teams work
Pick what helps.
Leave the rest.
Use one workflow or connect several. Schedules are opt-in; your team chooses its own questions, participants and rhythm.
Keep everyone in the loop
- Custom check-ins
- Ask your own questions, edit responses before the digest closes, or add a labeled correction afterward.
- Schedules & digests
- Pick weekdays and time zones, skip holidays, and bring responses into one channel summary.
- Blockers & reminders
- Choose a helper for a blocker. Use opt-in reminders and escalation summaries to follow through.
- Multiple workflows
- Keep daily standups and weekly reflections separate—even in the same public channel.
Make work and decisions visible
- Personal & channel to-dos
- Keep a private list or give shared work an assignee, due date and completion status.
- Polls & decision log
- Gather votes, close a poll, and record a decision with its rationale and review date.
- Sprints, retrospectives & planning poker
- Set a sprint goal, discuss attributed retrospective topics, and reveal estimates together.
- Workload & objectives
- Compare tasks with self-declared capacity and track measurable key results. No individual productivity scores.
Support the people doing the work
- Handoffs & approvals
- Agree on a handoff with its recipient or request a private decision from a designated approver.
- Onboarding & one-on-ones
- Build a newcomer’s checklist with a buddy; prepare participant-only agendas and follow-ups.
- Leave & coverage
- Request time off and show approved dates and proposed cover without sharing private reasons.
- Kudos, coins & fair picks
- Thank a teammate, send virtual recognition points, or use /pick rotate for least-recent selection.
Connect the details
- Comprehensive reports
- Review check-ins, tasks, blockers, recognition, planning and coordination records, then explicitly share.
- Jira, Linear & GitHub
- Connect your organization’s tracker. Preview selected issues and confirm imports or status changes.
- Search & message shortcuts
- Find retained Kick history, or turn selected public-channel message text into an action, blocker or thanks.
- Delivery operations
- Owners and admins can inspect configuration, audit entries and eligible delivery retries.
Delivery is checked every 15 minutes for enabled schedules and queued notices. Private reminders require installation consent and activation. Read the setup and availability guide.

Try something useful
Make a private list with /todo mine. For shared work, run /sync setup in a public test channel and review the settings.
Bring the team along
Choose a workflow in Kick Home. Collect updates, assign an action or preview a report with /report week. Share only when you’re ready.
Clear boundaries
Shared work stays shared.
Private work stays separate.
Kick stores Slack identifiers, authorization and the records you submit in Neon Postgres; Vercel hosts the app. Shared workflows use 7-, 30- or 90-day retention. Personal tasks use 30 days. Private tasks, approvals, leave details and one-on-ones stay out of shared reports.

What can my team do with Kick?
Run check-ins, manage personal and channel tasks, vote in polls, review reports, plan capacity and goals, record decisions, and coordinate handoffs, approvals, onboarding, one-on-ones and leave. Recognition and fair picks are included too. All fourteen commands are published in Slack.
Do we need another account?
No. Install Kick in your Slack workspace and use its commands or Home tab. Core workflows are free. Optional GitHub, Jira and Linear connections require your own provider account and administrator consent.
Can we choose our own check-in questions?
Yes. Use /sync setup to select a template or write one to five questions, choose participants and a time zone, and set the schedule. Preview and confirm before enabling. You can run up to ten named workflows in a public channel.
Who can see our information?
Shared workflow records are limited to current channel members. Personal tasks are private to their owner. One-on-ones are limited to their two participants; approval details to requester and approver. Private records are excluded from shared reports. Read the privacy policy for the full rules.
How do reports and connected issues work?
Reports summarize retained records for one workflow over a selected UTC date range of up to 90 days. Preview before sharing. Jira, Linear and GitHub issue imports and status changes are manual: an authorized administrator chooses the issue and confirms the direction. There is no background sync.
When do scheduled messages arrive?
Enabled scheduled workflows and queued notices are checked every 15 minutes; delivery can be delayed by outages or backlogs. Private reminders require installation consent and activation. Quiet hours, snooze, leave and opt-out preferences keep reminders under your control.
Less chasing starts here
Give your team
a little Kick.
The work is already in Slack. Bring the next steps there, too.
