About stageburn
Building the task manager we always wanted.
Our Mission
We believe developers deserve better tools. Tools that are fast, keyboard-driven, and designed for how we actually work. stageburn is our answer to the bloated, mouse-heavy project management tools that slow us down.
The Problem
Most task management tools are built for managers, not makers. They're slow, require constant clicking, and mix planning with execution in confusing ways. We wanted something different.
Our Approach
Speed is a feature. Every interaction should feel instant. We target sub-50ms response times and use optimistic updates throughout.
Keyboard-first. Every action has a shortcut. Vim-style navigation. Command palette for everything. The mouse is optional.
Backlog ≠ Board. Ideas live in the backlog until they're ready. Active work lives on the board. This separation keeps you focused.
Built by Developers
stageburn is built by a small team of developers who were frustrated with existing tools. We use stageburn every day to build stageburn.
