Our verdict on AsyncUp

AsyncUp runs asynchronous daily standups through Google Chat: participants receive forms for reporting completed work, plans, and blockers, and responses are posted to a team space with a submission wrap-up. It suits teams that want configurable standup routines and are comfortable hosting an open-source tool themselves. A web app covers standups, blockers, reports, team, and settings, while the integration focus is Google Chat rather than a broad chat-platform choice.

Its workflow extends beyond collecting updates. Teams can set custom questions, optional mood check-ins, participant schedules, time zones, reminders, late-submission flags, and vacation or skip controls. Blockers can be assigned, updated, and escalated, giving teams a way to follow issues after the daily check-in. Optional Google Calendar out-of-office sync can support skip handling. Participation, mood, and blocker charts, a weekly digest, CSV export, and outbound webhooks add reporting and follow-up options. Optional AI summaries use a team-provided API key.

AsyncUp is self-hosted as a container, with SQLite by default and optional PostgreSQL; the project is open source and described as forever free. That model avoids a listed paid-tier ladder but puts deployment and ongoing hosting on the team. Google Workspace identity options include Okta, Microsoft Entra, and OneLogin via SSO/SAML. Choose AsyncUp if Google Chat is where standups belong and you want control over hosting and blocker workflows. Teams that require current Slack or Microsoft Teams integrations should choose another tool; those integrations are described as planned, not current.
