Q
How long has Unison been around?
A
Unison has been in private beta testing since July 2017, which means it is a very young product and it is growing and changing quickly! At Rotunda Software we've been making people management software since 2005, and we serve over 3,000 organizations. We're taking all we've learned from that experience and applying it to Unison, and we are just getting started!
Q
Why do text messages come from a number I don't recognize?
A
The phone number used for text messages is keyed to your group, as opposed to an individual. Each group has a unique phone number.
Q
How to removing Unison from the Debian machine?
A
For removing Unison from Debian machine, enter apt-get remove unison:
# apt-get remove unison
# apt-get remove unison
Q
How secure is Unison?
A
The members of each group are completely private to that group. Unison is ad-free, and we will never sell your personal information, nor information about your group members. See our full Privacy Policy for more details.
Q
How does Unison work from my members' perspective?
A
When you invite your members to your group, they'll receive a welcome email that contains a link to your group's board, and they'll start receiving emails whenever you create cards. There is no action required on their part to join your group and start receiving emails.
Once they've completed their registration or logged in, they'll be able to leave comments on your group's board, complete action items, access your group's calendar view, map view, and more.
