We got the kind of mail no founder wants to wake up to.
A trademark cease and desist.
A few months ago, we were officially asked to stop using the name “Rally.”
If you're wondering,
“Didn’t you check first?”
Fair question.
But here’s the thing:
Rally started as a feature built to rally the team around what mattered inside a time tracking product we were working on.
Like most early-stage bets, we named it fast and focused on what we were building.
Over time, that feature became the product.
And the name stuck.
Until the email came.
Now we’re turning the page.
Meet Quely (formerly Rally) .
New Name. Same Vision. Bigger Mission.
Quely still helps product and engineering teams collaborate with less chaos.
But it’s also more than that now.
It’s a platform for cross-functional clarity.
For organizing knowledge, decisions, and workflows across every team.
From product and sales to marketing, finance, and legal.
Because the problems haven’t gone away:
🟣Conversations still get buried across Slack, Jira, and email
🟣Planning still breaks under unclear scope and overcommitment
🟣Teams still drown in meetings just to clarify priorities
🟣Context still lives in scattered tools no one wants to check
We’ve got a lot coming over the next few weeks…new site, new branding, and more releases.
Stay tuned.
