Why solo builders pick shipsolo
Milestones that mean something
Instead of abstract sprints, shipsolo tracks your project along founder milestones: from idea, through first users, to ramen-profitable. Progress you can feel, not burndown charts.
One clear next action
Impact-per-minute scoring turns a messy backlog into a ranked list. When you sit down to work, the highest-leverage task is already at the top.
A co-founder in your inbox
shipsolo emails you task reminders with mark-as-done links. It is the gentle accountability of a co-founder, without giving away half your equity.
Built for a portfolio of bets
Most solo founders run more than one thing. shipsolo keeps each project on its own board with its own milestones, so switching context does not mean losing the plot.
