    Features For Better Project Visibility

    Everything you need to track, visualize, and communicate project progress in one beautiful tool.

    Project Overview

    Get an overhead view of your projects with Hillcharts that show both exploration and execution phases.

    Progress Tracking

    Visualize non-linear project progress and understand where your team is in the project lifecycle.

    Tool Integration

    Connect with Slack, Jira, Trello, Asana, and more using Hillia's robust API integrations.

    Timeline Updates

    Every change is instantly reflected in your project timeline for easy progress tracking.

    Real-time Collaboration

    Follow progress asynchronously and remotely with your entire team, no matter where they are.

    Shape Up Compatible

    Perfect for teams following Basecamp's Shape Up methodology who need dedicated Hillchart visualization.

    The Power of Hillcharts

    Introduced in 2018 as part of Basecamp's project management toolkit, Hillcharts have revolutionized how teams visualize project progress.

    If you're following the Shape Up methodology but can't use Basecamp, Hillia offers a free alternative to track your projects with these powerful visual tools.

    While Basecamp is a complete suite with to-do lists, messaging, file sharing, and integrated Hillcharts, Hillia focuses on delivering the core value of Hillcharts to everyone.
