Release and task tracker for indie developers. One place for ideas, App Store events, nominations, and marketing content like blog posts and PH launches. Syncs with App Store Connect to import your apps and events. Includes CLI & MCP server for AI workflows - let Claude Code manage tasks from the terminal. Use the global capture to write down thoughts/ideas without switching context. Native on Mac, iPad, and iPhone with iCloud sync. Free for your first product, 40% off during launch week.
Over the past year I shipped a dozen iOS and visionOS apps and the messy part is not the code but everything that comes after: future release plans, App Store events, featuring nominations, blog drafts, Product Hunt launches, you know the drill.
I wanted to build a place where everything - from bug fixes to midnight ideas - could live, overlay the calendar, and sync with App Store Connect. I didn't care for sprints, story points, or collaboration features. Just needed a tool to ship my apps more efficiently. We need more developer tools built by indie devs who actually understand the pain of shipping, so Docket is my contribution to that ecosystem.
What makes it different from Trello et al: it connects to ASC directly, has a CLI and MCP server so @Claude Code and other AI tools can manage your tasks from the terminal, and tracks launch content (PH posts, HN threads, blog posts) alongside releases. Free for your first project, 40% off Pro for launch week.
What's the messiest part of your shipping workflow?
The MCP + Claude Code combo is what got me here honestly. I already live in the terminal for most of my dev work and switching to a board app just to move a card always felt like wasted time. Does the CLI let you set priorities or tags when creating tasks? Would be nice to have Claude auto-tag stuff as bug/feature while I'm in the middle of coding.
The ASC sync is what makes this interesting. For my current launch I'm juggling App Store submission, ASA setup, PH prep, and Reddit posts across Notes, App Store Connect, and random text files. Having that in one place tied to the actual release timeline would save a lot of context switching.
To answer your question: the messiest part for me is coordinating the marketing side with the technical side. The app can be ready but the screenshots, store description, and launch posts are always trailing behind on a separate track with no connection to the build status.
When building and shipping is instant, isn't Docket future a pit stop for agents to coordinate and be organized? Congrats on the launch!
How does Docket coordinate tasks created by AI agents via the MCP server or CLI with manual edits from the UI, and how do you prevent conflicts or duplicate updates in the task state?
Good luck today!
The App Store Connect sync is the feature that separates this from yet another task board — indie iOS devs juggling release notes, featuring nominations, and marketing timelines across separate tools is a real workflow mess. Having Claude Code manage tasks via MCP directly from the terminal closes the loop between coding and project management without context switching. Does the calendar overlay show ASC events alongside your custom milestones in a unified timeline view?
