Features

Everything in the box, nothing on a waitlist.

16 things Cairn does today. Every one of them is in the product you sign up for, not on a roadmap.

Planning

Roadmaps

Quarter and year views built from real projects. Drag a target date and every dependent item shifts with it.

Planning

Projects and cycles

Group work into projects with owners and outcomes, then run it in fixed-length cycles with capacity shown up front.

Planning

Capacity planning

See who is overcommitted before the cycle starts, not after. Capacity accounts for holidays and part-time weeks.

Tracking

Boards and lists

Every view is a filter over the same items. Save the ones you use, share them with the team, switch with a keystroke.

Tracking

Triage inbox

Bugs and requests land in one inbox from Slack, email and the API. Assign, merge or archive in seconds.

Tracking

Time and estimates

Optional points or hours, and a burn-down that updates itself. Estimates are for planning, never for blame.

Shipping

Releases

Assemble a release from finished items, review it, and ship it with the notes already written.

Shipping

Public changelog

Publish release notes to a hosted page or embed them in your app. Customers subscribe by email or RSS.

Shipping

Cycle reviews

A shareable summary of what shipped, what slipped and why, generated at the end of every cycle.

Collaboration

Comments and threads

Discuss an item where the work is. Mentions, reactions and resolved threads keep the history readable.

Collaboration

Guests and clients

Invite people outside the company to a single project. They see their items and nothing else.

Collaboration

Notifications that respect you

A daily digest by default, instant only for the things you follow. Quiet hours are built in.

Platform

Offline and instant

A local-first client that renders in milliseconds and syncs when it can. Works on the train.

Platform

Integrations

GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Figma, Sentry and Zapier out of the box. Link a pull request and the item closes when it merges.

Platform

API and webhooks

Everything the app can do, the API can do. Typed SDKs for TypeScript and Python, webhooks for the rest.

Platform

Security and SSO

SAML single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, audit logs and EU or US data residency on the Business plan.

Give the plan somewhere to live.

Import your backlog from a CSV or your current tool, invite the team, and run the next cycle in Cairn. Free for teams up to five.
