Project management
for Claude Code.

Claude Code and Codex are great at building — not at organizing what they build. The work lives in a chat thread, status is invisible, and context resets every session. Instify is the project management layer: your features become stories on a board, tracked from Backlog to Done, with your project's context kept in one place.

The missing layer

A conversation isn't a project

An agent's interface is a thread: you ask, it executes. That's fine for one task and quietly painful across a real project with dozens of features and half-finished ideas. Project management gives that work structure — items with a goal, a status, and a home.

  • Every feature is a tracked story, not a lost message
  • Status is visible — Backlog, In Progress, Done
  • Nothing depends on you remembering the thread
Context that persists

Your project, remembered

Set your stack, goals, and conventions once. Instify feeds that context into every run so Claude Code builds code that fits your project — instead of you re-explaining it each session.

  • Stack and project goals set once, used on every run
  • No re-pasting context into a fresh chat
  • Consistent output across features and sessions

Work as stories

Cards an agent can actually finish

Describe a feature in plain language and Instify turns it into a structured story with a clear goal and steps. Running the story dispatches Claude Code or Codex to build it — the card is the unit of work and the unit of execution.

  • Plain-language stories, no prompt engineering
  • Each card is executable — run it to build it
  • Full history: files touched, commands run, what shipped

The board

Track everything to done

A kanban board shows which agents are running, what's queued, and what shipped — at a glance. Hit a session quota mid-run and the work queues and auto-resumes, so tracking never lies about where a story really is.

  • Backlog → In Progress → Done, always current
  • Works with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex
  • Mac-native — everything runs locally

It's a layer around Claude Code that holds your work as structured items instead of a chat thread: each feature is a story with a goal and definition of done, tracked on a board from Backlog to Done, with your project stack and context kept in one place. Claude Code builds; the project management layer organizes and remembers.

No. Claude Code is a coding agent that works inside a conversation — it executes tasks but doesn't organize them, track their status, or persist project context between sessions. Instify adds that project management layer on top.

Generic project management tools track tickets a human works. In Instify, each card is executable: running a story dispatches Claude Code or Codex to build it, and the card carries the full run history — files touched, commands run, and what shipped.

Yes. Instify manages projects for both Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, and you can assign different agents per story or per project.

Yes — the free plan includes up to 2 projects and 1 AI agent of your choice, no credit card required. Upgrade when you need unlimited projects, all agents, and full execution history.
