Where software engineers achieve deep work and build great software

Async is a one-of-a-kind communication and project management tool for small teams of software engineers.
It's a calmer, more organized Slack alternative; and a simpler, more intuitive Jira alternative.

Projects: discuss and build software efficiently.

Use Hill Charts to track issues and see where projects actually stand: issues before the Peak are being discussed, issues after the Peak are being executed.

Help unblock your engineers by knowing which issues need more discussion before your team is ready to build.

Projects on Async stay in sync with your repos on Github.

Standups: organize your tasks and see what others are working on.

Standups help your engineers share what they've accomplished today and what they plan to do tomorrow.

Engineers can review each other's work, collaborate, and get a high-level view of the team's progress.

Knowledge: effortlessly build your team's knowledge base.

When you need to save important information from your discussions and projects, quickly add it to your team's knowledge base.

Every knowledge post is editable by your team members, so information is collaborative and up to date.

Discussions: asynchronous threads to have focused and deep conversations.

Allow your engineers to work without interruption by encouraging long-form, asynchronrous discussions. No real-time chat.

Easily reference and autofill team member usernames (@), recent commits (#), discussions ($) and knowledge posts (%).

Full support of Markdown for all communication in Async.

Async is built by a small, remote, and self-funded team.

We're software engineers and have built Builder Book, SaaS boilerplate, and Async. We built Async because we wanted better Slack alternatives for engineering teams.
