Feature Inventory

A quick checklist of everything RefractTrack can do, with a link to the full page for each where there's more to say.

  • Clone an existing task as a starting point for a new one
  • Archive and unarchive tasks, one at a time or all at once
  • Light text formatting — bold, italic, underline, headings, nested lists, code blocks with color highlighting across a wide range of game-dev languages (C#, Java, C/C++, JavaScript/TypeScript, GDScript/Python, JSON/YAML/CSS, XML/HTML, and SQL), and a live preview as you type
  • Task codes that turn themselves into clickable links wherever they're mentioned
  • A stripped-down issue-reporting form for teammates who shouldn't need full board access, plus a personal My Reports page so they can track what they've submitted
  • File attachments on every task — images, office documents, audio, and a wide range of source-code and game-engine formats, gated behind the same permission checks as everything else
  • Zip-file project backups — tickets, attachments, groups, stages, and saved lists all round-trip together, with a command-line option for backups too large to upload through a browser
  • 15 color themes, including an animated Rainbow option
  • Automatic strong-password generation when adding a new user
  • An Approvals count always visible in the navigation bar
  • Projects that can be safely retired without ever losing their history
  • Full role-based permissions — reusable roles, per-person fine-tuning, and project-by-project access control
  • Separate Comments and Activity tabs on every task, with comment edit history preserved
  • Bulk task creation with reusable saved lists
  • Drag-and-drop board with an optional due-date prompt when moving tasks
  • Independent Stages, Groups, and saved lists for every project
  • An optional automated setup script for standing a brand-new server up from scratch, and a guided upgrade script for moving an existing install forward
  • Behind-the-scenes database updates that keep an upgraded install current automatically, with no manual steps for everyday use
  • If two people edit the same task at the same moment, RefractTrack quietly keeps both sets of changes wherever it can, and leaves a plain-language note instead of ever silently losing anyone's edit
  • RefractTrack remembers the project you were last working in and opens straight to it next time you log in
  • Switching projects keeps you on the same kind of page you were already on
  • A full security hardening pass, covering everything from login protection to safe file downloads

See Home for a topic-by-topic guide to all of the above.
