  • Works with Basecamp 5
Best for Sprint planning, onboarding checklists, weekly reviews.

Tools FAQ

Not here? [email protected]

How do I access the tools?
Sign in to your Can Do account at app.getcando.com and every tool is one click away from the sidebar. Connect Basecamp once — your whole team can use every utility without separate installs.
Are tools included in every plan?
Yes. All 8 tools come with any Can Do plan — Monthly or Annual, paid per Basecamp account. The ones you use most often (Mass To-dos, Mass Cards, Zoom Chatbot, Broadcast) tend to pay back the subscription in week one.
Will the tools modify my Basecamp data?
Every tool uses Basecamp's official public API — the same one Basecamp uses internally. Every action is reversible inside Basecamp. Archives can be restored, broadcasts can be deleted, bulk creations can be undone. We don't store your Basecamp data on our side.
Which version of Basecamp do the tools work with?
Can Do works with Basecamp 5. Every tool runs on top of the Basecamp you already use — same shortcuts, same buttons, same workflow.
What permissions does Can Do request?
Only the Basecamp scopes needed to do its job: read your projects, read/write to-dos and cards for the projects you select. We never request access to private DMs, billing, or workspace admin settings.
Can I trigger the tools from inside Basecamp?
That's exactly what Companion (our macOS app) is for. Press ⌥ Space anywhere on your Mac, type the command ("Add to-do", "Bulk cards", "Broadcast…"), hit return. Each tool runs without opening a browser. Companion is included with every Can Do plan at no extra cost, and is also sold on its own for $79 a year. It's currently in beta.
Can I suggest a new tool?
Yes please. Most of our tools started as a customer request. Email [email protected] with what you need and we'll see how to ship it.
