Does it link to GitHub and CI?

Yes. Connect your repo and pull requests link to issues automatically, with CI check status surfaced inline. Merging a PR can transition the linked issue's workflow state.

How is this different from a generic project tool?

It's built on one relational schema for issues, cycles, projects, and initiatives, so the roadmap reflects real work instead of a hand-maintained copy. And it's keyboard-first and fast enough that engineers actually use it day to day.

Can I import from JIRA or Linear?

Importers are on the roadmap. We're pre-launch and building in the open — talk to us about your migration and we'll prioritize the path you need.

Planoda for software & saas, in short

Planoda for software & SaaS is an AI-native engineering work platform: cycles, sub-issues, PR + CI links, and sub-100 ms navigation — the rigor of a real engineering system without the JIRA tax.
Planoda is keyboard-first and built on a single relational schema, so issues, cycles, projects, and initiatives stay in lockstep. PRs and CI status link to issues automatically, AI triage routes incoming bugs, and every view loads in under 100 ms because reads are cached out-of-band. It's the system engineers reach for, not around.
Cycles with estimates and velocity tracking.
Sub-issues and cross-team dependencies.

The problem

Most trackers were built for project managers, not the people writing code. Engineers context-switch into a slow web app, fight modal dialogs to file a bug, and watch the roadmap drift out of sync with what's actually merging. The result is a tool the team avoids — so status lives in Slack threads and standups instead.

Why this fits

Built for software & saas.

The parts of Planoda that matter most to software & saas teams.

Git-native by design

Connect GitHub or GitLab and PRs attach themselves to the issues they close. Merge a PR and the issue moves state automatically — no manual status updates, no drift between code and tracker.

Sub-100 ms everything

Reads are cached out-of-band and the UI is keyboard-first, so navigating a board, opening an issue, or filtering My Issues never makes you wait. Speed is the feature engineers notice first.

One schema, no re-entry

Initiatives roll up to projects, projects to cycles, cycles to issues — all in one relational model. The roadmap updates itself as work moves, so you stop maintaining a parallel deck.
