A Gate moves, and Soon recalculates the work that depends on it.

The demo changes an external Gate, connects it to dependent work, and switches to Timeline to show the resulting schedule shift.

Workspace

Four ways to read the plan.

The same project stays connected across every view.

Whiteboard

Shape the plan.

Arrange the work and connect what must happen first.

Whiteboard UI extract Focused Whiteboard crop with a populated dependency graph.
  • soon-view-whiteboard.webp · image/webp · 1600 × 900 · ≤ 180 KB
  • Tasks, gates, and milestones
  • Dependency links

Timeline

See what moves.

Read the schedule and follow downstream changes.

Timeline UI extract Focused Timeline crop showing dependency-driven movement.
  • soon-view-timeline.webp · image/webp · 1600 × 900 · ≤ 180 KB
  • Scheduled work
  • Dates and checkpoints

List

Work in order.

See what is ready without losing dependency context.

List UI extract Focused List crop with statuses and native editing controls.
  • soon-view-list.webp · image/webp · 1600 × 900 · ≤ 180 KB
  • Ready and blocked work
  • Native editing controls

Summary

Check the state.

Review readiness, risk, activity, and sync at a glance.

Summary UI extract Focused Summary crop with health, activity, and sync.
  • soon-view-summary.webp · image/webp · 1600 × 900 · ≤ 180 KB
  • Project health
  • Activity and sync

Local MCP

Connect software to Soon on this Mac.

Use an MCP-compatible client to inspect projects, find blockers, make changes, and summarize what moved.

MCP access is optional, localhost-only, and protected by an access token.

Soon MCP client workflow Keep a connected client beside Soon while it inspects, updates, and summarizes a project.
  • soon-mcp-client-poster.webp · image/webp · 1920 × 1080 · ≤ 140 KB
  • soon-mcp-client-demo.webm · video/webm · 1920 × 1080 · ≤ 1.5 MB · 25–35 s
  • soon-mcp-client-demo.mp4 · video/mp4 · 1920 × 1080 · ≤ 2 MB · 25–35 s
A connected client inspects a Soon project, updates it, and summarizes what moved.

The connected client identifies a blocker, makes one useful update through local MCP, and explains the resulting schedule impact while Soon remains visible.
