Databases
Structured tables with the flexibility of a database. Organize clients, projects, and tasks with typed fields, multiple views, and real-time sync.
A single source of truth for everything.
Stop scattering your work across spreadsheets and isolated apps. Ascend databases let you build robust, interconnected tables. Every row isn't just a data point — it opens into a full page where you can write, plan, and embed timers.
- Typed properties: text, numbers, dates, statuses and more.
- Multiple views of the same data — without duplicating it.
- Filter, sort, and group to slice your data any way you need.
- All changes are auto-saved and sync instantly for your team.
10 property types. Built for real work.
Choose the right data type for each column — no more cramming everything into a text field.

A sprint board for the rest of us.
Agile tools are great, but sometimes you just need to know what you're doing this week. The Focus Board organises your work into time-boxed cycles. It's the perfect way to batch and prioritise your workload without the overhead of a technical engineering tool.
- Group tasks into planning cadences (weekly, fortnightly, monthly).
- Keep a backlog of ideas and pull from them each cycle.
- Visual progress bar and days-remaining countdown.
- Built-in Fibonacci effort tracking so you don’t overload yourself.

Every database can have public forms attached to it. Submissions land as rows — already filterable, viewable in Kanban, ready for invoicing. No CSV exports. No Zapier. No second SaaS bill.
See FormsMake your data public — without making it stale.
Drop a live database into any page on the internet, or into another Ascend page. Public roadmaps, client portals, pricing tables, job boards, status pages — every embed updates the second the row changes. No CSV exports. No cron jobs. No "Powered by Airtable" watermark.
Inside Ascend
Database block on a page
Type /database in any Ascend page. Pick a database, pick a view. The full table, board, or calendar renders inline — sortable, filterable, editable in place.
Outside Ascend
Iframe on any website
Click Embed on any database. Pick the default view, theme, and access level. Paste the snippet into your marketing site, client portal, or docs page.
Always live
Edit a row in Ascend. Every embed shows it instantly. No publish step, no rebuild.
Pick the view
Embed a Kanban roadmap, a filtered table, a calendar — whichever view tells the story.
One snippet
Chromeless iframe with theme, transparency, and access controls. Pastes anywhere HTML is allowed.
Replace 3 SaaS tools
Roadmap apps, public table tools, status page services — all from your existing database.
Database iframes use a fixed height because the table virtualises — set the pixel value once and the table scrolls inside it. Pages and forms auto-resize.
