Frequently Asked Questions

What is TinyGnomes?

TinyGnomes is a whole-life project management system that brings your tasks, communication, files, scheduling, and analytics into one unified workspace. It gives you a single source of truth so your team can work without switching between tools.

What makes TinyGnomes different?

Most tools create fragmented workflows. TinyGnomes keeps everything in one system so there is no app switching, no lost context, and no duplicate data. It combines task management, messaging, file sharing, calendars, analytics, and email into a single environment.

Why should I use TinyGnomes?

TinyGnomes removes friction from your workflow. You get a centralized dashboard, real-time collaboration, full visibility across projects, faster execution, and built-in analytics so you can make better decisions and move quickly.

What types of reports does TinyGnomes generate?

TinyGnomes generates a wide range of real-time reports that give you clear visibility into your business and projects. These include financial reports such as invoices and budget tracking, team performance reports like member activity and timesheets, and project reports showing open tasks, progress status, and overall health. It also includes resource management views to help allocate time and capacity effectively. All reports are integrated into the system, allowing you to monitor performance, identify bottlenecks, and make informed decisions without needing external tools.

Who owns my data?

You own your data completely. TinyGnomes does not sell your data, does not share your data, and does not track you for advertising. Your information is protected with strong security standards and can be further protected with optional local encryption that only you and your intended recipients can unlock.

What makes your security unique?

TinyGnomes was one of the first platforms to support 448-bit local encryption directly in the browser. This means you can encrypt messages on your own device and only someone with your password can read them. We use this ourselves for sensitive information, so the system is built and tested in real-world use.

Who can see my projects?

Only the people you invite can see your projects. Project leads can grant access, remove users, and revoke permissions at any time, giving you full control over visibility.

Is TinyGnomes free?

TinyGnomes offers full access by invitation. The core system is not limited or restricted, and optional add-ons such as AI features may be available separately.

Can I change my plan?

Yes. Plans can be adjusted based on your team size, usage, and enterprise requirements.

How many users can TinyGnomes support?

TinyGnomes is designed to support a virtually unlimited number of users. It uses concurrent users instead of named users, which allows for flexible scaling across teams.

How hard is it to learn?

Can I import or export my data?

Yes. You can import spreadsheets for tasks and export your data at any time, ensuring full control and portability.

Does TinyGnomes have Gantt charts?

No. TinyGnomes intentionally avoids Gantt charts because they often create misleading planning assumptions. The system focuses on real-time execution and adaptive workflows instead.

Can I integrate with email and calendars?

Can TinyGnomes work with my existing systems?

Yes. TinyGnomes is designed to work alongside your existing tools and can integrate or import data from legacy systems, ERP platforms, and other applications without conflict.

Is there an enterprise version?

Yes. TinyGnomes can be deployed as a hosted solution or installed on your own servers, depending on your requirements.

Does TinyGnomes work offline?

How secure is TinyGnomes?
