What Barvas is
Barvas combines mind mapping and project management to turn projects or challenges into actions and tasks. Users can manage work through a Kanban-like task board or a Gantt-style timeline. Team members can update task status, while conversations and documents stay with the related tasks; each task also has its own chat facility. Templates cover marketing, development, human resources, project management, business strategy, compliance, task management, and education. Education templates support study plans, group projects, lecture notes, and dissertation planning. Barvas runs on the web and offers a Freemium plan for one user and one project. A 14-day trial provides unlimited access without requiring credit card details, then accounts return to Freemium unless upgraded. The service says it runs on Microsoft Windows Azure servers in Ireland and Holland. It states that transfers use 256-bit encryption and projects are visible only to invited users. Stripe processes payment data, which Barvas says it does not store on its servers.
