About

Docket

Read full description

I built Docket because I manage 10+ projects and needed one place to track them all. Not a corporate tool with sprint ceremonies and story points — just a focused app for people like us who build, ship, and maintain indie apps. Available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac with iCloud sync across all your devices. MCP + CLI (PRO) Docket includes a built-in MCP server and CLI tool. Let AI tools like Claude Code read and write to your Docket data directly from the terminal. Create tasks, check releases, and manage your pipeline without leaving your editor. FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS Your Focus dashboard surfaces a smart "Today's Pick" — the one task that needs your attention right now. Below it: your latest app ideas, what ships next, what needs fixing, and your marketing queue. One screen, zero noise. WORK ACROSS ALL YOUR APPS See tasks from every project in a single list. Filter by project, tag, or status. Switch to Gantt view to see your timeline across releases, events, and deadlines. KANBAN WITHOUT THE BAGGAGE Drag-and-drop boards with custom columns. Backlog, In Progress, Review, Done — or whatever works for you. No story points. No velocity charts. Just cards and columns. PLAN YOUR RELEASES Track every version from Planned to Shipped with a built-in pre-ship checklist: Build, QA, Screenshots, Metadata, Pricing, Release Notes, Marketing, Support. Never forget a step. TRACK YOUR MARKETING Blog posts, Product Hunt launches, Hacker News, social media, App Store nominations, in-app events — all in one timeline. Know what's published, what's scheduled, and what's still in draft. CAPTURE APP IDEAS Write down ideas before they vanish. Add checklists, inspiration links, and notes. When one sticks, convert it into a full project with tasks and releases. DEVELOPER CALENDAR Week, month, and year views with Apple milestones baked in — WWDC, App Store Freeze, iPhone launch dates. Plan releases around the dates that matter. APP STORE CONNECT Connect your App Store Connect account to pull in your apps, in-app events, and nominations. Keep your release pipeline and marketing calendar in sync with what's live on the store. PROJECT PORTFOLIO Group your apps by status — Shipping, Building, Maintenance, Parked — and see the big picture at a glance. Each project gets its own tasks, releases, marketing plan, and assets. SYNC EVERYWHERE Projects, tasks, and ideas sync between iPhone, iPad, and Mac via iCloud. Pick up where you left off on any device. Free to use with one project. Docket Pro unlocks unlimited projects, iCloud sync, and MCP/CLI support. Built by an indie developer, for indie developers.
