Desk365 vs DoneDone: at a glance
What is Desk365?
Asset management is the real build; the feed is mostly an interview series.
Desk365's feed mixes two things. The product half is a steady asset-management build-out: Microsoft Intune device sync with field mapping, asset activity tracking, more flexible exports and labels, expanded APIs, plus a Phase 2 August release adding printable knowledge-base articles, JSON data for section-based dropdowns, reorganised ticket and time-entry categories and quick-start timers. The other half is Humans of Support, an interview series running roughly weekly, alongside comparison and metrics content.
What is DoneDone?
DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.
DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.

Desk365
5.0SUPPORT
Asset management is the real build; the feed is mostly an interview series.
◆ Current state
Desk365's feed mixes two things. The product half is a steady asset-management build-out: Microsoft Intune device sync with field mapping, asset activity tracking, more flexible exports and labels, expanded APIs, plus a Phase 2 August release adding printable knowledge-base articles, JSON data for section-based dropdowns, reorganised ticket and time-entry categories and quick-start timers. The other half is Humans of Support, an interview series running roughly weekly, alongside comparison and metrics content.
◆ Where it's heading
The shipping work points at IT service management rather than general customer support — Intune sync, asset activity history and asset exports are ITSM concerns, and they are arriving faster than anything on the ticketing side. Desk365 is positioning against MSP and internal-IT helpdesks while its written content argues that AI is not a substitute for judgement, which is a deliberately conservative stance for the category.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next product release to deepen asset management further — likely software or licence inventory on top of the device sync already in place — and to keep arriving as a batched monthly or phase digest rather than individual feature notes.
DoneDone
6.3SUPPORT
DoneDone ships custom fields — expanding from simple task tracker to configurable work platform.
◆ Current state
DoneDone is a project management and helpdesk tool that has been steadily deepening its structural capabilities over the past several months. Recent releases show a deliberate build-up: kanban sorting and collapse controls, workflow automations tied to status changes, email-to-task intake, and now custom fields. The product ships incrementally but on a consistent cadence, with most features driven by direct customer requests.
◆ Where it's heading
DoneDone is building toward a more configurable platform, moving away from opinionated simplicity toward flexible data models and process automation. Custom fields and workflow automations together form the foundation of a structured work management tool that teams can mold to their own processes. The direction is clear: make DoneDone adaptable enough to compete with more complex tools without requiring that complexity upfront.
◆ Prediction
Custom fields will likely expand with automation triggers (e.g., automate based on field value, not just status), and the email-to-task intake may gain routing rules or field-mapping capabilities to make incoming requests more organized from the start.
