About

Pinpal Projects

Simple projects. You and your AI on the same tickets. Projects, tickets, a status and a thread on each. That's it, for your code or your kitchen renovation, on iPhone, iPad and Mac. NOT ANOTHER TICKET SYSTEM Most trackers drown you: workflows, custom fields, sprints, boards, permissions. Pinpal Projects is a project and its tickets. Six statuses anyone understands: new, in progress, blocked, done, deployed, cancelled. A thread on each. Add your own status if a project needs one. What is not here: no workflows, no required fields, no sprints, no story points, no seats, no admin settings. YOU AND YOUR AI, ON THE SAME TICKETS You write it, it fixes it: file "Checkout button hidden on iPad", and Claude picks it up, fixes it and writes what changed in the thread. It finds it, you review: your AI spots a bug and files it. You read, comment, and it gets to work. It keeps the project moving: kitchen renovation, what is open, what is blocked and what is waiting on you. It asks when it's stuck: "Oak or ash for the worktop?" lands in the thread. You answer, it carries on. IT CAN'T WRECK THE BOARD Your AI never deletes a comment, a file or a project, and it uses the statuses and labels you made. Every change lands in the thread with its name. WORKS WITH THE AI YOU ALREADY USE Claude, ChatGPT or any assistant that supports connectors (MCP). Add Pinpal Projects as a connector, sign in, and pick the projects it may see. PRICING Free for up to 20 open tickets, in as many projects as you like. Unlimited tickets by the year or by the month, with the first week free. No ads. Reading, editing, comments and closing are always free; close a ticket to make room. Data lives in Amsterdam, EU. The subscription renews automatically every year or every month, as chosen, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings on iPhone, iPad or Mac. Terms of Use: https://mypinpal.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://mypinpal.com/privacy
