mPM
Mark's Project Manager
mPM
Project Ops, Without The Bloat Under Active Development

A project manager built for small teams, solo devs, and multi-project studios.

mPM is a gruvbox-flavored workspace for organizations, projects, epics, sprints, kanban, and comments - without the enterprise checklist of a Jira install. Designed to be opinionated, fast, and boring in the best way.

A self-hosted project room that feels like your team actually lives there.

Open Source
Source-available, copyleft

Audit it, fork it, and run it yourself. Just don't repackage it as a paid SaaS.

Self-Hosted
Your server, your data

Ship it on Laravel Cloud, a VPS, CapRover, or your homelab. No SaaS lock-in.

Hosted SaaS
Managed tier - soon

A hosted plan is coming for teams who want the product without running infrastructure.

Native Apps
Desktop & mobile

First-class macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android clients are on the roadmap.

Why It Exists

Every tool is too much.

Linear, Jira, Asana, Notion - each one wants to be the whole company. mPM is the opposite: plan, prioritize, ship, comment. That's the loop.

Who It's For

Small teams and studios.

Indie game studios, side projects, two-person shops, and internal tooling teams who want multi-org structure without enterprise overhead.

The Shape

Opinionated by design.

Gruvbox palette, amber accents, keyboard-forward surfaces. Less configuration, more character - but still yours to theme.

Feature Set

Everything a planning room needs.

  • → Organizations & projects with member management, roles, and admin tooling
  • → Tasks & epics - assignments, comments, tags, attachments, and blockers
  • → Kanban & sprints - board view, sprint creation, defaults, and dashboards
  • → Sprint planning with realtime attendance, story-point voting, tie resolution, and auto split-up tagging at 13/21 points
  • → Realtime notifications for activity on the work that's actually yours
  • → YAML scaffolding - import/export projects, tasks, sprints, tags, assignees, and blockers
  • → OAuth login via Discord and Steam, plus per-org invites and permissions
  • → Site-admin analytics for orgs, users, tasks, and storage
Tech Stack

Boring Laravel. Sharp UI.

Built on a proven server-rendered stack so the product stays fast, debuggable, and easy to self-host. No SPA hydration tax, no microservice sprawl.
