We’ve added a brand-new way for teams to collaborate faster and more naturally inside Gately.

Voice Recorder for Task Comments

You can now leave comments on any task using quick voice notes.
Perfect for:

• Explaining something faster than typing

• Sharing context while on the go

• Adding tone and clarity to your feedback

• Reducing long text threads

✨ How it Works

• Open any task

• Click the microphone icon in the comment box

• Record your message

• Review & send

Your voice note will be attached directly to the task comment thread, where teammates can listen instantly.

🚀 Why This Matters

This update helps teams communicate more naturally, cut down typing time, and share richer feedback—especially useful for async teams.

We’re excited to introduce new improvements to Task Management in Gately. This update brings a cleaner interface, better organization, and a smoother experience across both the Board and Calendar views.

Layout Improvements
