Glideflow Create your workspace

Checklist discipline · for everything that isn't a plane

Digital checklists for the processes your team repeats.

Nobody remembers step seven. Closing the books, onboarding a hire, opening the kitchen, shipping a release — Glideflow stamps every step with a time and a name, and refuses to close a run while anything is still parked.

Free plan, no card. One email to confirm it is really you.

One checklist format, every kind of work

Same card, same rules, same run log — whichever trade you pick.

Three things, and that is the product

Write the checklist once, then let every run correct it

Ten minutes to write, and nobody has to be trained to use it.

Before

Write the steps down once

In the words your team already uses. Where a step produces a number or a decision — a closing balance, a temperature, who signed off — put a field on the step so it is captured in the moment instead of reconstructed from memory on Friday.

During

Check it off as you go

Each check writes a time and a name that cannot be edited afterwards. A run holds on to the exact version it started with, so publishing a new version never moves the ground under someone mid-process.

After

The run corrects the checklist

Spotted a missing step? Add it where you are standing. It goes into this run, and — if you say so — into a draft of the next version, attributed to you. This is why it does not go stale in a drawer.

Versatility

If you have done it twice, it is a checklist

Call them standard operating procedures, work instructions, runbooks or just the way we do it — to Glideflow they are all the same shape: an ordered list of things a person confirms. Nothing in the product knows what industry you are in, which is why one checklist format fits a tax deadline and a fire-door inspection.

You already have a document for this

A document and a checklist are not the same tool

A document tells you what to do.

A run proves it was done — at 09:14, by C. Vogt, and here is the number they wrote down.

A document is maintained by whoever wrote it, eventually, in theory.

A checklist is corrected by whoever is standing in the process, in the minute they notice.

A document can be skimmed, closed, and reported as finished.

A run with a parked step refuses to close. Nobody can make it look finished.

Parked

Parked: the one word that stops a run

Some steps genuinely cannot be finished today — three receipts are with a colleague who is on the road, a supplier has not called back. Park it, and the run will not complete. Not this week, not by accident, not by the person who wants to go home. It is the difference between a process that is finished and a process that is merely closed.

Before you ask

Five honest answers about Glideflow

Do I have to care about aviation?

No. Aviation is where the idea comes from, not where it applies. The people who use Glideflow close books, run kitchens, patch servers and hand over wards. The cockpit checklist in the card above is a joke about our own name — and also a real one.

What does it cost?

The free plan is free for as many people as you like, and free workspaces publish their checklists as public pages — that is what pays for the tier, and it is the part of the product that helps someone else's team too. Keeping checklists private costs €6 per editor per month. Run logs, recorded values and member names are never published on any plan.

How long does it take to set up?

A first checklist takes about ten minutes, and the people running it need no training — they read a line and confirm it. Start from a template (deployment, rollback, month-end close, onboarding, opening shift) or from an empty list, and fix the wording on the first run rather than trying to get it right up front.

Where does the data live?

In the EU, on servers we run ourselves. There is no analytics script on this page, no tag manager, no cookie banner to dismiss — and the fonts you are reading are served from this domain rather than someone else's.

What happens to my email address?

One mail to confirm it is really yours, one mail when your workspace is ready. That is the entire plan. No newsletter, never sold, never shared, and one click deletes it. The privacy notice spells it out.

Which of your processes is in one person’s head right now?

Get it out of there. Your first checklist takes about ten minutes.
