For a long time, GlassFrog was the only SaaS product designed to support your Holacracy practice. And there’s a reason for that: we were scratching our own itch. We needed a tool that would not only serve our needs, but help make Holacracy practice easier for everyone. So we made it.

“We” are HolacracyOne, the organization that’s at the ground floor of the Holacracy movement. Because the people behind the Holacracy framework are also the software makers, GlassFrog is the most robust tool available to run your Holacracy practice. It’s specifically designed for a single framework for self-management and custom tailored to fit your needs as a Holacracy-powered organization — including reinforcing the new habits needed for success.

The new GlassFrog UI that launched this year.

Holacracy Learning Tools

Holacracy practice is hard. You’ve got a lot of new habits to learn — and habits from traditional management to unlearn! GlassFrog makes this process easier through Holacracy Habits, a series of bite-sized lessons developed by experts.

We also offer monthly Coach Q&A sessions (currently in English and French) with Certified Holacracy Coaches. Hop in to Zoom for a live video chat to get help with any questions you have or issues you’re facing in your Holacracy practice.

These learning tools are totally unique to GlassFrog. You can’t get them–or anything comparable–through another product.

Seamless Slack Integration That Supports Your Practice

Millions of people are using Slack to communicate at work everyday, whether they’re in an office, remote, or both! GlassFrog helps stay on track with your Holacracy practice and reinforce good habits while using Slack.

Role Tagging

When communicating with coworkers, you can tag a role directly in Slack. It keeps you in the habit of making requests of a role rather than a person. It also makes it easier for the role-filler to consider their role when processing.

Asynchronous Proposals

Sometimes, you don’t want to wait for a Governance meeting or schedule a special one to make small adjustments the structure of your circle. With GlassFrog’s Slack integration, your asynchronous proposals can appear right in Slack and circle members can respond with one click. Responses are captured in GlassFrog. Easy peasy!

Make & Process Requests

Do you need to request a project or action of a role? You can do so right Slack. And the role-filler can process your request from Slack, too! They’ll get an instant notification from the GlassFrog bot in Slack when you make the request.

Always Evolving

We’re committed to making GlassFrog the best option for Holacracy powered-organizations around the world and we’re in it for the long-haul. GlassFrog is as old Holacracy itself. In fact, the software predates the first written Holacracy Constitution! It wasn’t started to make money, but to support Holacracy practitioners. And we continue to be driven by that desire above all else.

We’re constantly improving GlassFrog in big and small ways, and integrating feedback from our awesome users. You can reach out to Customer Support at any time for help or to pitch an idea. You can also follow our public roadmap on Trello to see major new features in the pipeline.
