Y'arn't gonna need it

Work-hostile task tracking

Let's be honest, your backlog is where good intentions go to die. Everybody's best ideas, bug reports, and aspirational maintenance, waiting to be chosen until the day the team declares bankruptcy and starts a fresh list that "we'll keep clean this time."

Yarnt doesn't do that. It limits you to what you actually intend to accomplish, so your queue is true and you don't have to sift through years of sediment nobody has the nerve to delete.

No credit card yet. We'll take your money once you're sleeping better.

How it works

Can you control yourself? Then Yarnt is cheap, probably the cheapest tracker that isn't the spreadsheet you inevitably dump your tracker into. If you simply must track more things, you can upgrade your plan. Weakness costs you money.

Your backlog is finite

Your queue can hold 10 tasks. More people means more things to do, so we'll do you a solid and increase it by 1 per human. Need more? You sure? Alright, then you can upgrade your plan and pay for it.

One thing at a time

There's a 1 task work in progress limit. Finish it so that you never have to think about it again, and then move on with pep in your step and freedom in your heart. Have lots of dependencies and you really need to park something while you start something else? Well, if you insist, but you'll have to upgrade your plan and pay for it.

Keep wishing

Alright, we'll admit there are things you want to remember that you're not going to do right now. For those, we built you a Wishes section. It's the same maximum length as your backlog. Tasks there also expire in 30 days, so the random notes you take fade gracefully away without manual cleanup. If it was important, it'll come up again. Ah, you want to keep them longer. Well you know the drill by now, pay for it.

Nope

Four sections makes a nice 2x2 grid, but that's no reason to add a whole feature.
