Project management in the code,
the way it should be.

We help you stay organized and in the zone with a simple kanban board that lives in your code.

The biggest problem developers have with task management is leaving their code to keep the task management system up to date. That makes it hard for product owners, product managers and other team members to know the status of a piece of work.

Kanban boards, issue trackers and project management tools that are built for non-developers (That's most of them) can't fix this problem — they can only make it worse. Imdone is different. It keeps all the development tasks in the code, making task management easy for developers.

We use imdone to build software (imdone), plan marketing campaigns, track personal goals — you get the idea. It's a simple way to stay organized when you spend most of your day in a text editor.
