The tool we always wanted.
So we built it.

Quevell is built from six years inside heavyweight trackers: running real projects, administering them, and keeping a list of everything that slowed the work down, got in the way, or made it harder than it had to be.

Quevell is the tool without that list.

Principles

Opinions we hold, written into the product

Every one of these principles came from years of practice, not from marketing.

Speed

Fast is a feature

A tracker is opened dozens of times a day, so speed is part of the product rather than an optimisation for later. Screens render at once, lists answer at once.

Access

Administration is borrowed, not held

The request, the approval and the window are built into the product rather than living in a chat with an admin. Elevated rights are granted for a time and are removed automatically, and the question "why does this user still have full access" stops arising on its own.

Control

Your data is actually yours

A complete export in open formats is available at any moment: an ordinary feature rather than a negotiation with support. For backups, for your own reporting, or for peace of mind, everything you have put in stays available to you.

The work

Built and working today

Not a roadmap, the part you can touch. Every card below is covered by tests, not by intentions.

The foundation

Workflows

Workflows with a memory

Edit a live workflow safely: every publication is an immutable revision with an author and a time. Restoring an earlier version is a new publication, reviewed like any other, and never a quiet rewrite of the record.

Audit

Every change on the record

Who, what, and the values before and after, recorded at the core data layer rather than bolted on afterwards. When somebody asks who moved this and what changed, the answer is one query away.

Search

A query language, not a search box

QQL: typed fields, =, in, ~, AND, ORDER BY. The syntax is one you already know. A query binds to stable identifiers, so renaming a field or a status never breaks it.

Ownership

Your data answers to you

Before a user is deactivated you see everything that deactivation will touch, and their issues are handed over to a new owner. No issue is left without one.

Security

Visibility that narrows, never widens

HR, payroll and incident issues do not need a separate locked project: access narrows to a single issue while the rest of the project keeps working. Issue-level security only ever narrows project permissions, never widens them, so no mistake in the configuration can show an issue to somebody the project would have kept it from.

Signal

Notifications users don't mute

Rules your company writes decide who hears about what: typed events, recipients by role, narrowing by project, and individual notification opt-outs. Less noise is a feature.

The administrator elevations section: a one-hour request from Igor Lapshin, with its reason and the decision buttons
Administrator rights for a fixed window
An unfolded audit entry: the actor is Pavel Dorn, and the line below says Anna Kovaleva really did it
The full audit trail
The handover section: counts of open assignments, authorship and project roles, beside the two ways to decide
Handover: what moves to a successor
An issue's fields: type, priority, assignee, reporter, dates, and a security level reading People matters
Controlled access to issues
The issue search in QQL mode: the query priority in (Highest, High) and assignee is not empty, with the issues it found under it
A query language, not a search box

Every day

Automation

Rules that explain themselves

Conditions in QQL, schedules, outbound calls. Any rule can be tried on live data with nothing at stake: the check goes through the real engine and rolls back. Every rule can tell you why it fired, and why it did not.

Agents

A door for agents, not a side entrance

Quevell speaks MCP. An agent sees exactly what a user with the same rights would see, and everything it does lands in the same record as everything the users do.

Org chart

The whole company at a glance

Who reports to whom, and who is responsible for what: the chart is assembled from user profiles and moves when they do. There is no second structure to maintain, so there is nothing to go stale.

Boards

Boards, sprints and time, together

Boards and sprints for teams that work in iterations. Time is logged on the issue itself, with no second tool and nothing to reconcile at month end.

Knowledge

Knowledge next to the work

Procedures, decisions and how-tos live in the same product, under the same permissions and the same record of changes. Pages link to issues, and issues link to pages.

Import

Import from one file

CSV import from any tracker, validated before anything is written. Every problem is on screen before a single issue is created.

A rule's check report: two issues match the condition, each with the label, the transition and the comment listed under it
Any automation can be checked against live data
A scrum board: the running September sprint with six issues, and the backlog under it
Sprint boards with a backlog and planning
The Organization section: Igor Lapshin under Anna Kovaleva, with four people under him
The company's structure, in one place
The inbox: rows for a comment, a mention and a rights request, each with its issue, its time and whether it has been read
Inbox notifications always at hand
The knowledge page The support rota, with the linked issue SUP-2 under its heading
A knowledge base that points at the work
The CSV import preview: the columns mapped, and the two rows that cannot be imported with the reason for each
An import is checked before anything is written
The service accounts section: the account Builds and releases, with a token and an OAuth client and the rights each one holds
A service account with a token and an OAuth client, each narrowed to its rights
