tone is an online team task management service developed by a Japanese team. It is positioned as a lightweight tool that is “easy to use for both people and AI.” The product emphasizes simplicity, speed, and real-time sync, without relying on complex project management concepts. Its goal is to let teams across different functions manage collaborative tasks as easily as using a personal TODO app.
Based on the information on its website, tone covers the essentials for task management: creating tasks and lists, real-time sync, team spaces, task templates, automation, user groups, AI prompts, and advanced recurring rules. For collaboration, it can trigger the creation of other tasks after a task is completed, which helps connect cross-team workflows. Random assignment within user groups is suitable for routine tasks that “anyone can handle.” Permissions are an important team-oriented selling point: Pro includes permission management, while Enterprise offers advanced permission management, allowing teams to restrict viewing and operations.
Its main differentiation lies in AI/MCP. tone supports task access via MCP, and the website explicitly mentions that tasks can be read from tools such as Cursor and Claude Code. Development teams can turn standard operations such as release processes into task templates, reducing reliance on individual team members. Marketing teams can also share commonly used AI prompts. However, the materials do not disclose a traditional API, Webhooks, SDKs, or developer documentation. Third-party integrations also appear to focus mainly on MCP and the planned SSO support.
The Free plan is free and requires no credit card. It supports up to 3 members and 3 AI users, with unlimited tasks and lists, but limits templates, automation, team spaces, and similar features to 1 each. Pro costs 500 JPY per person per month, supports unlimited members, expands limits for AI users, user groups, templates, automation, and more, and includes priority support. Enterprise pricing is available on request and includes advanced permissions, planned SSO, customization, and advanced support.
Its advantages include a low learning curve, transparent pricing, friendly Japanese-language support, real-time sync, and distinctive AI access features. The free plan is also useful for small teams to test the product. Its limitations are that information on security compliance, backups, audit logs, mobile apps, view types, and the integration ecosystem is insufficient, and SSO is not officially available yet. tone is better suited to small teams in a Japanese-language context, as well as development, marketing, and back-office teams looking for lightweight task collaboration. It is also a good fit for teams that want to experiment with AI IDEs reading tasks. Large enterprises should further verify its security, compliance, SLA, and data governance capabilities before procurement.
The website does not provide information about access from mainland China or payment options beyond the billing currency. The Free plan requires no credit card, while paid plans require a credit card. Users in China should test network connectivity in practice and compare alternatives such as 飞书项目, Teambition, Notion, Trello, and Asana.
