Why solo builders pick shipsolo
Impact-per-minute scoring
Every task gets an impact and effort estimate, and shipsolo ranks your list by impact per minute. With 45 minutes after your day job, you always know which task moves the project most.
AI that actually reads your code
Point shipsolo at your source code or paste a short brief. The AI generates concrete, scoped tasks based on what is really in your repo, not generic checklist filler.
Reminders that close the loop
Email task reminders arrive with a mark-as-done link. Finish something on the train, tap the link, and your board is up to date without opening the app.
A journey, not just a list
shipsolo maps your project along milestones from idea to ramen-profitable. You see where you are on the road, not just an infinite pile of tickets.

Frequently asked questions
▸What is the best task manager for indie hackers?
The best task manager for an indie hacker is one that prioritizes for you. shipsolo scores tasks by impact per minute, generates tasks with AI from your source code or brief, and sends email reminders with mark-as-done links. That combination is built for people shipping alone in small time windows.
▸How is shipsolo different from Notion or Trello?
Notion and Trello are blank canvases: you build and maintain the system yourself. shipsolo is opinionated. It scores every task by impact per minute, tracks milestones from idea to ramen-profitable, and its AI creates the tasks for you, so the tool does the project management, not you.
▸Does shipsolo have a free plan?
Yes. The free tier includes 2 projects with tasks and impact scoring. Pro unlocks more projects, the API and MCP access, Studio content formats, and email reminders for €5 per month or €36 per year.
▸Can AI generate my task list from my codebase?
Yes. shipsolo can read your source code or a written brief and generate concrete tasks from it, each with an impact and effort estimate so they slot straight into the impact-per-minute ranking.
▸Does shipsolo work with AI agents like Claude?
Yes. shipsolo ships an API and an MCP server, so coding agents can read your board, create tasks, and mark work done as part of your automated workflow.
