Discover how Nifty’s intuitive workspace, flexible modules, and cross-platform support help teams stay organized and collaborate efficiently.
I’ve been working as an Engagement Director for more than two years now at a Software Development Company. Before that, I was a Project Manager at a Corporate Communications Agency. In my current job, we use an agile methodology and utilize Teamwork as our main project management software.
For MacSources, however, our needs are different. We primarily need clear visibility into which reviews are in progress, who is assigned to each piece, and where everything stands in the pipeline. That is what led us to Nifty. It is a robust and full-featured platform in its own right, but its interface and workflow feel more streamlined for our purposes. It provides the structure, collaboration tools, and visibility we rely on, without introducing unnecessary friction into a lean editorial environment.
About Nifty
Nifty is a cloud-based project management and collaboration platform developed by Nifty Technologies, Inc., a privately held software company headquartered in New York City. Founded in 2017, Nifty helps teams streamline planning, execution, and communication by unifying tasks, milestones, docs, discussions, and reporting into a single workspace.
Developer Information
Nifty is built and maintained by a small team focused on SaaS productivity tools that support modern workflows across product, engineering, marketing, sales, and IT teams. The company is headquartered in New York, NY, and operates with a globally distributed workforce.
The leadership includes the founder and CEO Shiv Kapoor, with other key contributors focusing on engineering, product development, and customer success. The organization is privately held and serves a broad base of organizations looking to centralize project management and communication.
Nifty integrates with many popular third-party tools and offers a REST API and webhook support for custom integrations, enabling teams to build bespoke connections and workflows on top of the platform.
Tech Stack
While Nifty doesn’t publicly disclose its full internal architecture, third-party technology profiles and public metadata indicate components of its web infrastructure and integrations:
Hosting & Content Delivery: Cloudflare for CDN and security Database: MySQL appears to be used for backend data storage Front-end / UI: Standard web technologies such as HTML5 and common JavaScript frameworks are present Web Security: reCAPTCHA is present for bot mitigation UI Assets: Libraries like Font Awesome are included in the interface layerThese details reflect how the Nifty website and supporting platform connect with broader web technologies, while the full internal server-side stack and application frameworks remain proprietary.
In addition, Nifty provides a documented REST API that allows developers to programmatically access workspaces, tasks, webhooks, and other core features, enabling integrations, automations, and custom extensions.
Background
Nifty was created to address a common challenge in team productivity: scattered tools for planning, discussion, documentation, and tracking that live in separate silos. By bringing these into a single platform, Nifty aims to reduce context switching and help teams spend more time actually executing work.
The platform supports multiple project views (including Kanban, list, timeline, calendar, and roadmap), built-in chat, real-time file and document collaboration, workflow automations, time tracking, and portfolio management. Nifty also emphasizes flexible workflows that can accommodate agile and traditional project management styles.
Today, Nifty is used by thousands of teams worldwide who leverage its unified hub to coordinate work across disciplines, automate routine processes, and maintain visibility into project progress without switching between disparate apps.

User Experience
Nifty is designed to be an all-in-one workspace for managing projects, tasks, and team collaboration. Because of that, I wanted to explore what it’s like to use the app day-to-day, from setting up a workspace and organizing projects to customizing features, communicating with your team, and navigating across different devices. Hopefully, you’ll get a sense of how intuitive the interface is, where it shines, and a few areas where it could improve.
Setup & Hierarchy
The first step with Nifty is to create an account. As I mentioned above, you can sign up for free and then upgrade your account if needed. Once you get your account started, you set up a Workspace. One of the things that is important to understand with any Project Management tool is the data hierarchy and how everything is organized. With Nifty, information is organized by:
Workspace: All of the projects, portfolios, team members, and data Portfolios: A collection of projects with access control permissions Folders: A level of project sub-organization within a portfolio Projects: A collection of tasks, roadmap, discussion, docs & more Tasks Subtasks Roadmap Discussion DocsOnce you understand the placement of the data, the setup process is a breeze and more importantly, beginning work with Nifty becomes second-nature very quickly. Nifty has a great Knowledgebase and the chat support is also very responsive. When I’ve contacted them, I usually leave a message and get a response within 24 hours or so.
Workspace Customization
When we set up our Workspace, we started with two members. So, both of us had access to the entire Workspace. We set up a series of Projects to track things like Review Progress, Contacts, and a general Task Backlog. This helped us move away from just sending each other to do items over text message. The UI is very straightforward and intuitive especially if you have previous experience with project management software. One of the features I like a lot is the ability to add custom fields. Because of the nature of our business, we have some special needs for tracking so we added custom fields and Nifty makes that very easy.
Another feature I like is that you can hide the Project Modules that you aren’t using if you don’t want them to clutter up your dashboard. We don’t use the Dashboard or Roadmap modules with our Review Progress project, so we turned those off. It’s a great feature that really helps you customize your experience.
Feature Limitations
There are a couple of things I would love to see added as features. First of all, I would love to be able to sort tasks alphabetically. I’ve asked Nifty’s support about this a couple of times and they’ve said it’s not an ability that is supported at this time. Hopefully they will change that in the future. You can sort by other fields when you are in List view, but not by the name of the Task.
The other thing I would love to see is the ability to specify what your home screen is on the mobile app. When you open the app as a cold launch (opening the app after it’s been fully quit), the default home screen in the app is My Work. While I understand the rational behind this (the app is designed as a progress tracker so a user would want to see the tasks they are responsible for), it would be great to have an option to change it to something different.
Interface & Navigation
The design of the app does feel clean and modern. It seems very quick and I’ve never had a problem with it being responsive. I like how easy it is to find Projects and switching between Workspaces. At first, I was a little confused by where the Docs live, but once I discovered that you can easily link them to a task or create one directly from the Task itself, it became much easier to navigate.
Collaboration & Chat
The Chat feature is very handy. Our team has been communicating through text messaging exclusively, which is impossible for tracking purposes. With the Chat feature, you can easily grab a message directly from a chat thread and create a task from it. This is far more efficient than using text messaging for task tracking. In many cases it might be able to replace a third party messaging app like Slack.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
As far as cross-platform compatibility, I can comment on how well it works across iOS, iPad, and macOS. It’s been very stable and consistent. I’ve found that tasks are updated quickly across the different platforms and I haven’t noticed any instances of data loss.
Learning Curve
For non-technical users, Nifty is generally easy to navigate. The interface is intuitive and feels like a “fill in the blanks” experience, so getting started doesn’t require a steep learning curve beyond figuring out where features are located. More advanced functionality may require some guidance, depending on a user’s technical comfort level. While the app itself is straightforward, those less familiar with tech could initially feel a bit lost in the various settings. Fortunately, Nifty offers a well-organized resource library and a responsive support team, making help accessible and useful whenever it’s needed.
Conclusion
Nifty provides a streamlined and intuitive workspace for small to mid-sized teams that want to consolidate project management, communication, and collaboration into a single platform. Its combination of task management, portfolios, built-in chat, and customizable modules allows teams to tailor the platform to their specific workflows without being overwhelmed by unnecessary features. While there are a few minor limitations, the platform is stable, responsive, and easy to adopt for both technical and non-technical users. Overall, Nifty is an excellent option for teams seeking a clean, unified project management experience.
