Product
One tool for the plan, the work and the release.
Cairn replaces the roadmap deck, the ticket tracker and the release doc with a single set of items you can look at three ways.
Capture
Everything arrives in one inbox
Bugs from Sentry, requests from Slack, ideas from the team. Triage is a keyboard exercise: assign, merge, archive, next. Nothing needs a form.
- Slack, email and API intake
- Duplicate detection and merge
- Templates for bugs and requests
Plan
Cycles with the capacity on the page
Fixed-length cycles keep planning honest. Cairn shows hours available per person, adjusted for time off, so overcommitment is visible before anyone agrees to it.
- Roadmap and board share one set of items
- Capacity per person, per cycle
- Slip reasons recorded when work moves
Ship
Releases that write their own notes
Each item carries a customer-facing note, written when the work is fresh. A release collects them, and the changelog publishes in one click, with email and RSS for customers.
- Releases assembled from done items
- Hosted public changelog
- Cycle review page generated automatically
Also included
And the rest of the toolbox
Comments and threads
Discuss an item where the work is. Mentions, reactions and resolved threads keep the history readable.
Guests and clients
Invite people outside the company to a single project. They see their items and nothing else.
Notifications that respect you
A daily digest by default, instant only for the things you follow. Quiet hours are built in.
Offline and instant
A local-first client that renders in milliseconds and syncs when it can. Works on the train.
Integrations
GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Figma, Sentry and Zapier out of the box. Link a pull request and the item closes when it merges.
API and webhooks
Everything the app can do, the API can do. Typed SDKs for TypeScript and Python, webhooks for the rest.
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.
