Overview

What it is

Cushion is the async messaging app for small, distributed teams. Work smarter, stay focused, and get more done.

Intent

I need it when

Reduce information overload and keep team conversations organized in distributed teams

Cushion organizes communication around posts and single-topic threads instead of chat streams, preventing important information from getting buried. The prioritized inbox shows only relevant items, helping teams focus on work that matters most.

Automate repetitive tasks and delegate busywork to free up team capacity

Cushion's AI Agents feature allows teams to hand off repetitive tasks and automate powerful workflows, reducing manual work and letting team members focus on higher-value activities.

Keep remote and hybrid teams synchronized without endless status meetings

Cushion's automatic checkins feature (daily or weekly intervals) keeps teams in sync and on-track without requiring synchronous meetings, helping distributed teams stay connected efficiently.

Build a self-documenting knowledge base that remains accessible and searchable

Cushion's post-based structure with unlimited message history and powerful workspace search creates a self-documenting knowledge base where information stays organized and easily retrievable over time.

Enable asynchronous team communication without pressure for constant availability

Cushion is built for purposeful async messaging with features like scheduled checkins, daily email digests, and full notification control. Teams can communicate thoughtfully without the expectation of being always-online.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • Team requires real-time synchronous communication and instant messaging as primary workflow
  • Organization needs enterprise-scale deployment with 20+ members and requires custom pricing negotiation
  • Team relies heavily on chat-based operational workflows and prefers shallow, always-on communication
  • Users need desktop app support beyond macOS (Windows or Linux required)
  • Organization requires deep integration with enterprise tools beyond GitHub and Stripe
