10 teams are racing to build a pivotal tracker replacement
A lot has changed since the shutdown of pivotal tracker was discussed here. As there were no viable alternatives it seems every month there was a new project popping up. With the last month before the sunsetting approaching, it starts to get exciting who will make it in time, who stays in the race and what the differentiating features of the projects will be.
10 teams are racing to build a pivotal tracker replacement launched on March 16, 2025 with 130 votes, #337 of 7,215 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
This project tracks ten competing software products designed to replace Pivotal Tracker following its shutdown. As teams race against the sunset deadline, the project documents which alternatives emerge as viable, their differentiating features, and which succeed in capturing users migrating from the discontinued platform. It serves teams and project managers evaluating replacement tools for their workflow needs.

Planisphere – A Pivotal Tracker Replacement2024 · planisphere.dev · ▲9With Pivotal Tracker shutting down soon, I built Planisphere to offer a familiar experience for teams that rely on it. Planisphere includes core project tracking features like organizing stories into projects, prioritization, estimation, and commenting. I built this as a solo developer using Elixir and Phoenix LiveView, which means minimal JavaScript and fast load times. I’m seeing less than 100 KB in assets and pages loads in under 0.5 seconds for the project I’m using to track Planisphere’s own development. The major features are already in place, including user management, and I’m…

I replaced Beads with a faster, simpler Markdown-based task trackerJan 2026 · github.com · ▲84I've been running long duration coding agents with Claude Code for about 6 months now. Steve Yegge released Beads back in October and I found that giving Claude tools for proper task tracking was a massive unlock. But Beads grew massively in a short time and every release made it slower and more frustrating to use. I started battling it several times a week as its background daemon took to syncing the wrong things at the wrong times. Over the holidays I finally ripped it out and wrote ticket as a replacement. It keeps the core concept I actually cared about (graph-based task dependencies)…
