Vi is the Git-aware project execution platform for software teams. Manage tasks, move workflows, and commit code — without leaving your IDE.
Mark a task done from your IDE and Vi does the busywork — so your board is always accurate and your team stops losing time to status updates.
Cut ticket-update busywork out of your developers' day. Here's what one click does:
Stages your changes
Creates a task-aware commit message
Pushes to Git
Closes the task
Advances the workflow to the next step
Available in the Vi extension for VS Code and RAD Studio.
Without Vi
With Vi
The same decision every team makes — and the one thing only Vi answers.
Jira, Linear, and ClickUp live in the browser, a tab away from your editor. Vi lives in your IDE — developers never leave VS Code to manage their work.
Everywhere else, updating the ticket is a separate, skippable step. With Commit & Close, finishing the code is updating the board. Your status is always real.
Approval chains, SLAs per step, role-based auto-assign, and automation come standard — not locked behind an enterprise plan or a paid marketplace add-on.
$5/user — roughly 29–55% less than Jira, Linear, and ClickUp at comparable tiers, with a free plan to start.
Approval chains, SLA, automation, and IDE integration — starting at $5/user.

Built for teams that need structure, not chaos.
Define your own workflow steps with approval chains. Each step can require sign-off before moving forward.
Tasks are automatically assigned to the team member with the lowest active workload and the right role.
Get notified via Email, Telegram bot, or custom Webhook. Configure per-user preferences.
Define text, number, date, select, and multi-select fields. Cascading dropdowns filter options based on parent selection.
Built-in timer and manual time logging. Compare estimated vs actual time per task.
Set rules like "When task is assigned → notify role" or "When due date passes → set priority High". 5 triggers, 6 actions.
Create your organization, invite your team, define roles.
Build custom stages, set approval rules, enable auto-assign.
Create tasks, monitor progress, get notified on every update.
Vi mirrors how enterprise teams actually work — multi-step approvals, rejection flows, and forced assignment. Not just another kanban board.
Vi automatically routes tasks to the team member with the lowest active workload and the correct role. No manual triage, no guesswork.
Your team lives in Telegram? Vi's bot sends real-time task updates directly to each member's chat. No extra apps, no missed updates.
Secure, isolated, and hosted for you.
Elliptic-curve signed tokens — not shared-secret HMAC.
Every organization runs isolated, with its own dedicated subdomain. Your data is never commingled.
Git actions run locally in your IDE. Vi orchestrates the workflow — it never stores or uploads your source.
Each workflow step in Vi can require approval before a task moves forward. The approver role is configurable per step, with fallback to workflow-level and organization-level approvers.
Vi features a unique workflow engine with per-step approval chains, intelligent auto-assignment based on actual team workload, Telegram bot notifications, and cascading custom fields — capabilities that competitors only offer in expensive Enterprise tiers.
