Cushion

Cushion is an asynchronous messaging app designed for small, distributed teams that need focused, organized communication without the pressure of constant real-time responsiveness. It provides a central space where team members can share updates, ask questions, and collaborate across time zones while maintaining clarity and context. The primary purpose of Cushion is to reduce notification overload and fragmented conversations, enabling teams to work more deliberately and efficiently.

Key features include structured threads that keep discussions organized by topic, making it easier to follow decisions and revisit past conversations. Messages can be drafted, edited, and scheduled, allowing team members to communicate thoughtfully and at appropriate times. Cushion supports lightweight task coordination through clear action items, status updates, and contextual links to documents or tools, helping teams keep work moving without needing a full project management system. The interface is designed for distraction-free communication, with controls to manage when and how you are notified.
