Retro Harbour
What it is
Retro Harbour is a browser-based retrospective board for agile and scrum teams, including remote teams. Participants can write cards privately, reveal and group them, vote, and record action items. Cards, votes, timers, and phase changes sync live. The site lists 10 templates, and teams can add, remove, or rename columns. Participants join through a shared link without creating accounts. Card text is masked while people write, and votes stay private until the round ends. Boards sit behind an unguessable URL and disappear when users are done. Teams can download a Markdown file containing cards, votes, and actions for use in wikis and issue trackers. The Free plan is free, with no limits on boards or participants and no paid tier. The access model has limits: the board URL acts as the access token, with no authentication layer behind it. There is no built-in long-term board history, SSO, or enterprise administration, and Jira and Confluence integrations are not available.

The verdict
Retro Harbour covers the core retrospective flow, live collaboration, and Markdown export in a free web board. Its simple link-based access comes with limited history and no enterprise controls.
Who it suits
