Now in public beta — v0.9.2

Issue tracking for devs
who give a damn

Not another bloated project management tool. IssueZen is the fast, focused issue tracker built for developers who believe their tools should stay out of the way.

issuezen — ~/projects/webapp
~/webapp $ issuezen new "Fix N+1 query on dashboard" --priority high --type bug
✔ Created WEBAPP-47 — assigned to backlog
 
~/webapp $ issuezen move WEBAPP-47 --phase in-progress
✔ WEBAPP-47 moved to In Progress
 
~/webapp $ issuezen ls --mine --active
 
ID          PRI      PHASE           TITLE

WEBAPP-44   medium   in-progress     Add dark mode toggle
WEBAPP-39   low      review          Update README badges

features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Six things done exceptionally well. No gantt charts, no resource leveling, no enterprise workflow automation. Just the tools that actually ship software.

kanban.rb

Kanban Boards

Drag issues across phases with zero friction. Customize your workflow: BacklogTriage → your stages → Resolved. No predefined process theology.

priorities.rb

Smart Prioritization

Four priority levels that actually mean something. Low, Medium, High, Critical. Filter, sort, and focus on what matters. No priority inflation.

custom_fields.rb

Custom Fields

Text, numbers, dropdowns, multi-select — per project. Track what your team needs, not what some PM framework dictates. Flex without the bloat.

subtasks.rb

Subtasks & Checklists

Break big issues into trackable pieces. Check them off as you go. See completion at a glance. Simple, effective, done.

comments.rb

Rich Comments

Full rich-text editor for discussion. Drop context, paste code, make decisions right where the work happens. Not in Slack. Here.

workspaces.rb

Multi-Workspace

One account, many workspaces. Freelancers, consultants, agencies — switch between projects and teams without logging out.
