New: Programa SketchUp Extension | Product Library (Beta)

You have a product specified. Now you need it in the model.

You open SketchUp’s 3D Warehouse, search for the product, scroll through pages of results, download a model that looks close, place it, then realise it isn’t quite right. So you search again.

Across the lifespan of a project, that process can add countless more hours spent hunting for models instead of designing.

Your Product Library, now inside SketchUp.

The new Programa SketchUp Extension is now available in the SketchUp Extension Warehouse, starting with the Product Library integration, available in beta.

Instead of starting with a keyword search, start with the products you’ve already specified.

Access your Product Library: Browse saved products directly inside SketchUp by name, brand, type, material, or colour.
Find matching models faster: Search SketchUp’s 3D Warehouse using product details already saved in Programa to surface the closest available matches.
Drag and drop into your model: Download your preferred result and place it directly into your SketchUp model.
Apply saved materials and swatches: Use materials and swatches from your Product Library directly on faces and components in SketchUp.
Attach supplier-provided models: Save supplier 3D models to products in Programa and access them through the extension, without manually moving files between platforms.
Reuse previous model matches: Once you’ve found a suitable model for a product, the extension remembers it for future projects.

What’s next.

The next stage of the extension is an integration with Programa Schedules, which is currently in development. By connecting your model directly to your Schedule, it will introduce a new level of automation and help keep product information aligned as projects evolve.

Where to find it.

Download the Programa SketchUp Extension today from the SketchUp Extension Warehouse.

Recently added features and functionality

New: Time Tracking

Interior designers do not work on one project at a time.

You jump between schedules, presentations, client feedback, supplier conversations, procurement, invoices, and internal reviews all day long. Traditional time tracking expects you to manually keep up with that movement.

Programa now does it for you.

The new Time Tracking experience introduces a Smart Timer that tracks your progress as you move throughout Programa.

Start the Smart Timer once and work across projects as normal.
Stop the timer when you’re finished.
Review the recorded time entries across each project.
Adjust any entries if needed and save.

Plus, we’ve added more flexibility to Time Tracking, with the ability to log time against a project, phase, or task.

The new Smart Timer now lives in the top right corner of Programa, accessible from anywhere in the app. You can also open the refreshed Time Tracking page from the Studio section of the side navigation menu.

New: Meeting Notes (Beta)

Important project decisions are often made in conversation, but the details can quickly become scattered across recordings, notes, transcripts, documents, and follow-up messages.

Meeting Notes (Beta) brings that information back into the project.

Whether you’re documenting client feedback on-site, reviewing selections with a supplier, or capturing decisions during a team meeting, the conversations that shape a project stay connected to where they belong.

Record live: Start a recording from the project Meetings page or the Quick meeting button in the side navigation menu. Use it on desktop or mobile, whether your laptop is on the table or your phone is with you on site.
Upload a transcript: Upload an existing meeting transcript and process it inside Programa.
Get structured outputs: Programa generates a written summary, decisions and action items so your team can review what matters without reading through a full transcript.
Keep recordings accessible: An active meeting widget stays available in the sidebar while recording, so you can return to the meeting, pause, resume, or stop from anywhere in the app.

Meeting Notes is available now in beta, with additional functionality in development. Open any project, select the Meetings page, and start a new recording or upload a transcript. For added flexibility, you can also start a new meeting from anywhere in Programa using the Quick Meeting option in the side navigation menu.

Presentations

Last week, we launched Presentations, a new feature that lets designers create multi-page presentations directly inside Programa.

Presentations brings floor plans, selections, renders, reference imagery, and client approvals together in one connected file.

Pin live products from your Schedule directly onto drawings and visuals, then collect client approvals or rejections within the Presentation itself, with statuses synced back to the Schedule automatically.

Add reference images to floor plans and elevations to keep project context connected, then customize every page with your studio’s own fonts, colors, and layouts, with tools for adding text, shapes, and edited imagery to create a presentation that feels on-brand from start to finish.

When you’re ready, share the Presentation with clients in a click or export it as a PDF.

Built for every stage of a project, Presentations keeps your project information connected from early concepts to contractor handoff.

Open any project in Programa, head to Files from the side navigation menu in the Project Hub, and select Create File → Presentation to get started.

Your project meetings have a new home.

Important project decisions are often made in conversation, but the details can quickly become scattered across recordings, notes, transcripts, documents, and follow-up messages.

Meeting Notes (Beta) brings that information back into the project, where it belongs.

Record a meeting in Programa or upload an existing transcript for processing, then turn the conversation into a structured summary with decisions and action items attached directly to the project.

Built for project conversations

Meeting Notes is designed for the conversations that shape a project, from client walkthroughs and site visits to supplier meetings, design reviews, and internal studio discussions.

Whether you’re documenting client feedback on-site, reviewing selections with a supplier, or capturing decisions during a team meeting, the information stays connected to the project it belongs to.

Record live: Start a recording from the project Meetings page or the Quick Meeting button in the side navigation menu. Use it on desktop or mobile, whether your laptop is on the table or your phone is with you on site.
Upload a transcript: Upload an existing meeting transcript and process it inside Programa. Supported formats include TXT, Markdown, VTT, PDF, DOCX, and RTF.
Get structured outputs: Programa generates a written summary, decisions and action items, so your team can review what matters without reading through a full transcript.
Keep recordings accessible: An active meeting widget stays available in the sidebar while recording, so you can return to the meeting, pause, resume, or stop from anywhere in the app.

Project decisions stay connected

Meeting Notes provides a clearer record of what was discussed, decided, or left unresolved.

Instead of turning meeting notes into another admin task, Programa creates the first structured version for you. Every meeting stays attached to the project alongside your Schedules, invoices, files, and other project information, making it easier to find context later, bring team members up to speed, and keep project decisions connected to the work they affect.

Where to find it

Meeting Notes is available now in beta, with additional functionality in development.

Open any project, select the Meetings page, and start a new recording or upload a transcript. For added flexibility, you can also start a new meeting from anywhere in Programa using the Quick Meeting option in the side navigation menu.

If you have any questions, visit our Help Center or contact our Customer Support team through in-app live chat.

Time tracking that actually keeps up with you

Interior designers do not work on one project at a time.

Programa now does it for you.

What’s new

The new Time Tracking experience introduces a Smart Timer that tracks your progress as you move throughout Programa.

Start the timer once and work naturally across different projects. As you move through project areas in Programa, the Smart Timer keeps track of where your time is being spent. When you stop the timer, Programa generates a review list of your recorded time across the projects you worked on, ready to adjust and save if needed.

No manual tracking. No rebuilding your day from memory. No more missing hours.

The updated experience also includes:

More flexible time logging against projects, phases, or tasks
New grouping and filtering options across the Time Tracking page
Custom time summaries by team member, project, or date range
Auto-save when editing time entries

Existing functionality such as manual time entries and time tracking against project tasks remains available.

Why it matters

Time tracking should not feel like admin work.

The new experience is designed around the reality of modern studio workflows, helping teams track time more accurately while reducing manual effort and improving visibility across projects, workloads, and studio operations.

Less guesswork. More clarity.

Where to find it

The new Smart Timer now lives in the top right corner of Programa, accessible from anywhere in the app.

You can also open the refreshed Time Tracking page from the Studio section of the side navigation menu.

If you have any questions, please visit our Help Center or contact our Customer Support team through in-app live chat.

Your projects just got a command center.

The new Project Hub presents a clear operational picture of your projects, helping your studio understand progress and priorities at a glance.

A fresh perspective

When you open a project, you’ll now land on a new Project Hub page, instead of the Files tab.

At a glance, you can see:

Active and overdue tasks
Paid and unpaid invoices
Pending product approvals
Tracked project time
Key project activity and status updates

Every card links directly back to the underlying workflow, making Project Hub a central launch point for the project rather than a separate management layer.

The Project Hub is read-only. Metrics are surfaced here for visibility, while edits still happen within their respective workflows.

Project Hub also introduces a dedicated side navigation menu, replacing the previous top-tab layout. The new menu gives one-click access to Overview, Files, Project Management, Invoices, Purchase Orders, Shared Files, and Settings, helping keep every part of the project connected and within reach.

From the new menu, Invoices and Purchase Orders can now also be created and managed directly from inside the project itself, helping keep operational workflows connected to the project context.

Built for how design projects actually run

A project dashboard is only as useful as the data behind it. Because specifications sit at the center of the project workflow in Programa, Project Hub focuses on the information that actually reflects how a project is progressing, from schedules and tasks through to approvals, invoices, and tracked time.

The result is better visibility into the project areas that need attention.

The new project experience starts here

Log in to Programa and open a project. You’ll now land directly on the new Project Hub page, with the new sidebar navigation menu available on the left-hand side.

This is an upgrade to the existing project experience, not a replacement of existing workflows. Existing functionality across Files, Project Management, Invoicing, Procurement, Shared Files, Settings, and the Client Dashboard remains unchanged.

What is new is the way those workflows are accessed and organized within a project.

Opening areas like Invoices, Purchase Orders, or Shared Files from the new project sidebar automatically scopes the view to the project you’re currently working in, instead of showing studio-wide results. The global hubs still exist exactly as before, but Project Hub introduces a more connected, project-level way to navigate operational work inside Programa.

To learn more, visit the Help Center or contact our Customer Support team through our in-app live chat.

New feature: Presentations

Your project data is already in Programa. Your presentations should be too.

What used to live across disconnected tools and static pages now sits in one place, working within the project rather than alongside it.

Presentations brings live product specifications, floor plans, renders and reference imagery to life in one connected file.

The future of client presentations is here.

Presentations is a new tool where designers can create multi-page files directly inside a project.

Add floor plans, renders, reference imagery, product specifications and more across as many pages as you need.

Create multi-page presentations directly inside Programa.
Pin live Schedule products onto floor plans, renders, and imagery.
Add scene references for clearer project context.
Keep approvals connected to the Schedule workflow.
Use built-in tools for layouts, text, shapes, cropping, and background removal.

Presentations, built differently

Presentations was designed to support every stage of a project, from early concepts and client presentations through to technical documentation and contractor handoff.

Start with reference imagery and initial product ideas, then continue building on the same file as the project develops. Upload floor plans, pin renders to rooms, add products directly from your Schedule, and generate live presentation links and QR codes for contractors on site.

Unlike static presentation tools, every product pin inside Presentations is connected to a live Schedule record. When product information changes, your presentation stays aligned with the project data already inside Programa, reducing duplicate work and eliminating the need to constantly rebuild presentations across disconnected platforms.

Start creating in Programa now

Presentations joins Programa’s growing suite of powerful tools built to elevate interior design project work from concept through to completion.

Log in to Programa and open any Project. Head to Files from the sidebar navigation in the new Project Hub, and select Create File → Presentation to get started.

Recently added features and functionality

Pulse (Beta)

Your studio runs on a thousand moving parts. Pulse keeps them all in view.

Pulse is the first chapter of StudioOS, our vision for a smarter Programa that works harder behind the scenes so you can focus on the work that actually matters: designing.

No more switching between schedules. No more chasing updates across projects. Pulse brings time-sensitive actions into a single feed.

Log yesterday's time in seconds. All your active projects, one screen. Done.
Act on product decisions instantly. See every approved or rejected product across every project, and take action without the back-and-forth.
Never miss a deadline. Overdue tasks from Project Management surface automatically, so nothing slips through.

Pulse updates in real time as approvals and rejections come in. And now with custom actions built in, you can flag things like missing prices before they become problems downstream.

This is just the beginning of how Programa learns to work the way your studio does.

Introducing Programa’s new Invoicing, and our new payment platform, Programa Pay

This is how invoicing should have always worked for interior designers. Fast enough to fit naturally into your workflow. Flexible enough to match the way projects actually move. Clear and polished enough to sit alongside the work it represents. Paired with a payments platform built to protect every transaction.

Fast. Pull directly from your existing project data in Programa and send a polished invoice in under five minutes. Redesigned QuickBooks and Xero integrations sync line items and invoices when you issue them, with clear sync statuses.
Flexible. Split invoices into custom instalments with named milestones, specific amounts, and individual due dates. Structure payments around how projects actually work, protect your cash flow, and remove client sticker shock.
Well Designed. Your logo. Your product images. An invoice that carries the same standard of presentation as the work behind it.
Safe. Programa Pay is the most secure payment platform ever built for interior design; taking advantage of the same protections used by the world’s biggest online retailers and service providers. Let clients pay with the method that suits your studio best, knowing every transaction is backed by end-to-end encryption, tokenised card storage, built-in fraud/chargeback protection, and clear dispute resolution processes.

We’re rolling out the new invoicing experience region by region, starting with the United States and Australia. Existing invoicing tools will remain fully supported until the new experience becomes available in your region.

If you’d like to know when it becomes available in your region, click here to be notified.

New: Design System refresh

After six months of development and testing, Programa now has a refreshed interface. It’s designed to feel easier to use day to day, clearer to navigate during long sessions, and built on a foundation that lets us release improvements faster moving forward.

What's new

Typography updates for easier reading - Serifs guide the eye through complex specification documents, reducing fatigue during long work sessions.
Consistent patterns everywhere - Previously, different parts of Programa used different buttons, icons, or patterns for the same action. Now everything is standardised, so you never have to relearn the basics when switching between Schedules, Pinboards, or Project Management.
Clearer visual hierarchy - Subtle depth and layering distinguish primary content from supporting elements, making it easier to focus on what matters.

Over the coming weeks, we’re shipping a series of major updates designed to cut admin, tighten daily operations, and bring more clarity to how your studio runs. This is the beginning of StudioOS, and it starts with a more considered foundation across the app.

Recently added features and functionality

Price estimator

Pricing shouldn’t be the thing that stalls a project. When a product doesn’t have an RRP yet, you’re often left waiting on quotes before you can lock in decisions, check feasibility, or move a client conversation forward. Product Price Estimator helps you keep momentum. It gives you an estimated price or price range based on real market data and comparable products, so you can keep specifying while supplier pricing is still in progress.

Smart schedule importer

Setting up a new system can take forever. That’s why we created the Smart Schedule Importer. This tool imports existing specification schedules, including Excel spreadsheets, from your current system into Programa in minutes.

October - November 2025

At Programa, we have absolutely LOVED building the platform for you, the Design and Architecture community, and have so much in store for next year.

Come the end of December, it will also be a time for us as a team to slow down (only a little) to rest and recharge, as we gear up for our biggest year yet!

A truly heartfelt thank-you to you for choosing to journey with us, and we look forward to continuing with you right through to next year and beyond.

Stay safe and well this festive season, see you on the other side 🎉
