Docket
Read full descriptionHide 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 โ 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" โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ 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 โ Shipping, Building, Maintenance, Parked โ 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.

Your agents keep working when you step away from the desk. dev-mux shows you what they're doing โ and lets you answer them from anywhere. dev-mux is a cockpit for the terminal sessions running on your own machines: AI coding agents, builds, test runners, deploys, service logs. It connects to a hub you run yourself, so your code and your machines stay yours. THE FLEET AT A GLANCE See every machine and every session in one view. Live status tells you what's running, what finished, and โ the one that matters โ what is sitting blocked waiting for you. ANSWER FROM ANYWHERE When an agent stops to ask "apply this patch?", open the session and answer in full. The thing that used to cost you a round trip to the desk now costs a tap. VOICE, ON DEVICE Talk to a session instead of typing at it. Tap the Talk button, say what you want, watch the words appear as you speak, tap again, and dev-mux sends it. Recognition runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple's on-device speech engine โ your voice is never uploaded, not to dev-mux, not to your hub, not to anyone. The microphone can be opened between the tap that starts it and the tap that stops it. FILES Browse, read, and edit files on your machines. Fix the typo you spotted in the log without opening a laptop. A REAL TERMINAL WHEN YOU NEED ONE For the times a cockpit isn't enough, dev-mux includes a full terminal for the machines you already have access to โ proper PTY, real keyboard, host-key verification that refuses a changed key. BUILT TO BE YOURS * No account. No sign-up. No email address. You point the app at your hub and that's the whole setup. * No analytics, no trackers, no advertising, no third-party SDKs collecting anything. * Your credentials live in the iOS Keychain, on this device only. * Everything talks to your hub and nothing else. dev-mux requires a hub to connect to your own machines. Setup instructions at dev-mux.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: dev at none against Docket's 2. Docket's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
