Ship projects,
not process.
Every interaction. Every time.
The Speed Promise
Every UI action in GritShip — creating tasks, dragging cards, switching views, opening panels — responds in under 200ms. This isn't a marketing goal. It's a hard engineering constraint. Your tool should be as fast as your ideas.
Core Features
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
Boards, tasks, priorities, assignments, real-time sync. The tools product makers actually use — without the enterprise bloat.
Kanban Board
Drag tasks between columns. See your entire product pipeline at a glance — what's next, what's in progress, what shipped.
List View
Sortable table with inline editing. Sort by priority, assignee, or due date. Triage your backlog in seconds.
Real-Time Sync
Powered by WebSockets. When a teammate moves a task or leaves a comment, everyone sees it instantly — no refresh.
Keyboard-First
N to create, ⌘K to search, arrow keys to navigate. Full board control without touching the mouse. Built for speed.
Markdown Descriptions
Code blocks, checklists, headings, links. Write specs and notes naturally — no clunky rich-text editor getting in the way.
Priorities & Labels
P1 through P4 priorities with color coding. Custom labels to categorize work your way. Filter and focus on what matters.
Why Switch
Tools built for enterprises,
not for makers.
You're shipping a product, not managing a department. Why does your project management tool need a training course?
Built for 200-person engineering orgs. Custom workflows, approval chains, and configuration screens. You just want to track what to build next.
Free tier limited to just 2 users since late 2025 (down from 10). Starter plan starts at $10.99/user/month. Priced for teams, not makers.
3-seat minimum on paid plans. Complex pricing tiers with feature gates designed to push upgrades before you've even shipped V1.
Ships every feature imaginable. The result: slow load times and an interface that takes weeks to learn. You need focus, not more features.
Pivoted toward a personal productivity companion in 2025. Free tier limited to 10 boards per workspace. No longer built for product builders.
GritShip does less — and that's the point.
Boards, tasks, priorities, assignments, comments, real-time sync. For people building products. Free to start.
Built For
Built for builders.
No sprint planning. No story points. No Scrum Master required. Just you and the product you're shipping.
One board per product. Clear priorities. Ship features, track bugs, plan launches — all in one place.
You're the CEO, engineer, and support team. Your PM tool shouldn't need a PM to configure it.
One board per client. See what's done, what's next, what's blocked. Keep every project on track.
Real-time collaboration for teams of 2–10. Assign tasks, leave comments, ship together. No Scrum Master required.

FAQ
Common questions.
Everything you need to know about GritShip.
- Is GritShip free to use?
- Yes. GritShip is free to use with no credit card required. You can create a workspace, invite your team, and manage unlimited tasks at no cost.
- Who is GritShip built for?
- Product makers — the people who build things. Indie hackers shipping SaaS products, solo founders wearing every hat, freelancers juggling client projects, and small product teams (2–10) who ship features together. If you build products, GritShip is built for you.
- How is GritShip different from Jira, Asana, or Trello?
- GritShip is purpose-built for product makers, not enterprise teams. No complex workflows, no feature bloat, no steep learning curve. Every UI interaction responds in under 200ms, the initial JS bundle is under 100KB gzipped, and you can set up a working board in 60 seconds. It does less — and that's the point.
- What features does GritShip include?
- Kanban boards with drag-and-drop, sortable list view, real-time collaboration, keyboard shortcuts, markdown task descriptions, P1–P4 priorities, custom labels, task assignments, and comments. Everything you need to manage a product — nothing you don't.
- How long does it take to set up?
- Under 60 seconds. Sign up with Google in one click, create a project, add columns and tasks, and invite your team. No onboarding calls, training sessions, or lengthy configuration.
- Does GritShip support real-time collaboration?
- Yes. GritShip uses WebSocket subscriptions powered by Supabase Realtime. When a teammate moves a task, changes a priority, or leaves a comment, everyone sees the update instantly — no page refresh needed.
- Can I use GritShip for client work?
- Absolutely. Freelancers and agencies use one board per client to track deliverables, timelines, and feedback. Create a project for each client, set up your columns (Backlog → In Progress → Review → Done), and invite clients as members if you want shared visibility.
