What's New in Daily Pick!
We've been busy adding new features and making improvements to help your team have more engaging and productive meetings. Here's a look at what's new.
🔌 Integrations with Your Favorite Tools
Give your stand-ups instant context. Daily Pick now connects to your project management tools to sync your team and display relevant work, right inside the game.
- Jira, Trello & GitHub: Sync your board members or repository contributors directly to the player list, saving setup time. When a player's turn comes up, their assigned tasks or issues automatically appear in the new "Stand-up Dock" for easy reference.
- Slack slash command: Launch any ritual from Slack with
/dailypick, authenticate via the new Settings panel, and let teams jump into Planning Poker or morale checks without leaving chat.
Ready to supercharge your stand-ups? Connect your tools in the new "Integrations" section in your settings.
🎲 New Games for Planning & Estimation
We've added a whole new category of games designed to make your sprint planning and estimation sessions more collaborative and fun.
- Planning Poker Hub: A real-time estimation tool with hidden votes and Jira-ready summaries.
- Capacity Planner Dice: Roll dice to stress-test your sprint capacity and account for time off and meetings.
You can find these new games in the "Planning & Estimation" section on the home page.
🎨 Brand Studio Gets Sections
The Settings & Brand Studio page has been reorganized so you can work in smaller chunks instead of scrolling through one massive form.
- Identity, Palette, and Themes: Each area is grouped into its own mini-card with context about what the fields power.
- Sticky Preview: On wider screens the live preview now stays visible as you edit, making it easier to see color and emoji changes immediately.
- Seasonal Controls: Holiday toggles sit inside their own section with clearer explanations and inline status messages.
Visit Settings & Brand Studio to try the new layout and share player lists or brand presets with your team.
🃏 Planning Poker Hub Redesign
The multiplayer Planning Poker experience has been refreshed to feel more modern and easier to host.
- Flexible layout: Host controls, deck selection, and vote states now live in a streamlined sidebar that adapts to desktop and tablet screens.
- Clearer summaries: Revealed rounds produce copy-ready summaries with averages and counts that paste directly into Jira or Slack.
- Session persistence: Player cursors, deck choice, and story labels stick around even if the host reloads, so you can resume estimation without re-setup.
Open Planning Poker Hub to spin up a new room and try the redesigned flow.
⏱️ Cadence Timer Studio

🌡️ Morale Thermometer

🚀 Gravity Drift Game Improvements
We've made some major improvements to the Gravity Drift game. The physics are more realistic, the graphics are updated, and we've added new power-ups to make the game even more exciting.
