AsyncUp
AsyncUp is a free, open-source, self-hosted tool for asynchronous daily standups in Google Chat. Each workday it sends participants a direct-message card with three questions and a mood selector, then posts replies in a dated team-space thread. Teams can customize questions and make participants mandatory or optional. People set their own time zones, while optional Google Calendar out-of-office synchronization marks them away. AsyncUp tracks blockers, supports acknowledgments and updates, and sends nudges or escalation messages for stale items. Its web app includes Google sign-in, guided setup, standups, blockers, reports, team settings, and personal pages. Reporting provides chat trends, eight-week participation, mood, and blocker charts, weekly digests, and CSV export. SAML 2.0 sign-in covers Google Workspace, Okta, Entra, and OneLogin, with a SCIM 2.0 provisioning endpoint. Deployment uses Docker with embedded SQLite or configurable PostgreSQL. Google Chat is supported; Slack and Microsoft Teams are planned.
