Scrums is open
2026-11-08 · The Scrums team
Retros, sprint poker, standups, health checks, pages, chat and calls, in one place, and free. Here's what's in it, and how to try it before you sign up.
Scrums is open at scru.ms. It's one place for a team's routines: the meetings that keep it improving, the notes that keep it informed, and the conversations in between. And it's free: every feature, for your whole team, with no credit card and no trial clock.
What's in it
- Retros that people are honest in: cards written privately and revealed together, anonymous by default, with grouping, hidden dot voting, one thread per topic for the discussion and its action items, and a summary at the end. Eleven formats are built in, and you can make your own.
- Sprint poker that keeps estimates independent: nobody's card reaches anyone else until the reveal, then the votes are grouped with the spread, the median and how much the team agrees. Up to four dimensions per story, such as points and risk.
- Written standups that open by themselves at your team's local time, for people to answer when their day starts.
- Health checks that track how the team is doing over time, anonymous by default.
- Pages edited together live, with comments, database tables and screen recordings, and every meeting's summary saved as a page.
- Chat with channels, threads and direct messages, and calls with cameras, screen sharing and breakout rooms, which work through the same firewalls as the rest of the app.
- Planning, with sessions on the team's calendar and invitations for Outlook, Gmail and Apple Mail, and search across all of it.
It runs in the browser on computers, tablets and phones, and can be installed as an app if you'd like its own window. There are ten themes to choose from.
Try it first
You don't need an account to see how it works. Try it on the home page opens four demos (a retro, sprint poker, a health check and a standup), each with a sample team that plays along and a guide that walks you through. And How-to has a short video for every feature, recorded in the real app, with its steps listed beside it.
How we look after it
- Your team's words stay with us. Inside the app, pages load nothing from other companies: no ad trackers and no outside analytics. Cards are grouped on our own server, with no outside AI service involved.
- Accessible by design. Every screen is checked against WCAG 2.1 AA, in every theme, before each release.
- Updates without interruptions. We update scru.ms without taking it down. Meetings, chat and calls carry on through an update, and if anything goes wrong it switches back on its own.
- Plain terms. Our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service say what we collect, what we do with it and what we don't.
