Version based roadmaps
Plan major and minor versions, set a clear goal for each release, and organize the roadmap items and spikes that bring those plans to life. Drag versions into place and the numbers follow.
Project portfolio and management
Every project, in order.
Pandopus is the calm, focused home for your whole portfolio. Built for indie developers, solo founders, and small software teams, it lets you plan version roadmaps, track tickets, capture ideas, and guide every product from the first milestone through years of releases.
- Built for Mac and iPhone
- Syncs through your iCloud
- Your project data stays yours
The name says it all
Part panda, part octopus, all focus.
The panda is here because work should be a little fun. The octopus is here because you rarely have just one project on the go, and it takes eight arms to keep them all in the air without dropping any. Pandopus gives every project, and every moving part inside it, a place to live, so planning, building, tracking, and releasing all happen in a single dedicated workspace made for independent creators.
See it in one view
A dedicated workspace for everything a project needs.
Roadmaps, versions, roadmap items, tickets, ideas, attachments, and releases all live together, so you always know where a project stands.
Plan the big picture and the daily work in the same calm, organized space.
What Pandopus is
Where development begins, not where ideas are born.
Pandopus does not chase raw brainstorming. It begins the moment an idea has matured into a project worth building, and it stays with that product through MVP launch and years of future releases. Everything you need to guide a product lives in one structured home.
Tickets and subtickets
Track day to day work with a status, priority, and type, break big tickets into smaller pieces, and link them to roadmap items so an item finishes when its tickets do.
Ideas you can capture fast
Catch a thought on your iPhone the moment you have it, or on your Mac, file it under one project, several, or none yet, and turn it into a ticket or roadmap item in the right version when it is ready.
Attachments on tickets and ideas
Keep screenshots, photos, PDFs, and notes with the work they belong to, and open any of them in a full size preview without leaving the app.
Releases that lock in what shipped
Write the release notes and App Store listing, check that nothing is left open, then release. The version and everything in it are kept exactly as they shipped.
Ticket numbers you can quote
Every ticket gets a short number with its project's own prefix, like PND-42. Click it to copy, and search for it from anywhere to land on the ticket.
Progress dashboards
See what ships next, how complete each version is, what is blocked, and which projects have gone quiet, all at a glance.
A portfolio, not a single project
Run as many projects as you like, organized by stage from Planned to Building and Testing, with a Live section for everything already out on the App Store.
Your Mac and iPhone, in sync
Built on CloudKit, so your portfolio follows you across your Macs and your iPhone on the same iCloud account, with sync status always in view and no separate account to manage.
Search across projects
Find a project, roadmap item, ticket, or release from anywhere in your portfolio with a single search.
An example project to explore
Your first launch comes with a complete sample project: a roadmap, tickets, and a release already out. See how everything fits before you add your own, then delete it.
A list that works your way
Choose which columns each project's tickets show and how wide they are, open any ticket or roadmap item in a roomy sheet with a double click, and reach the rest from the menu bar and keyboard.
Made for every platform you ship on
Give a platform its own release page when its notes or listing differ, and mark roadmap items and tickets for just the platforms they belong to.
Import, export, and back up
Bring a roadmap in from a JSON file or send one out, move whole projects between Macs as files, and back up every project in one step.
Developer details at hand
Keep your Team ID, seller name, support addresses, and console links in one place, ready to copy, and filled into each new release for you.
How it works
From a maturing idea to a shipped release.
Begin with intent
Start where the building starts.
Pandopus is the home for projects that are ready to become real products. Capture a thought in Ideas, promote it into a ticket or a roadmap item when it has earned a place, and shape it into a plan you can execute.
- A structured workspace for every product
- Clear separation between ideas and execution
- Quick capture that turns into real work
Organize the work
Break big features into work you can ship.
Turn roadmap items into tickets, split tickets into subtickets, and move work between versions as priorities change, all without losing valuable project history.
- Reorder and reassign work freely
- Attach screenshots and notes to the ticket itself
- Link tickets to roadmap items and versions
Drive toward release
Always know how close a version is to shipping.
Progress dashboards roll up tickets and roadmap items so you can see what is done, what is blocked, and what stands between you and the next release.
- Release readiness for the current version
- Blocked work surfaced before it stalls you
- A release record of what shipped and when

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
What is Pandopus?
Pandopus is a project portfolio and management app for Mac and iPhone. It gives every software project a structured home with its own version roadmap, tickets, ideas, attachments, and release records, so you can run several products at once without losing track of any of them.
Who is Pandopus for?
Indie developers, solo founders, and small software teams who ship more than one product. If you are juggling several apps and keeping the plan in scattered notes and spreadsheets, Pandopus is built for exactly that.
How is it different from an issue tracker?
An issue tracker starts at the ticket. Pandopus starts at the version. You plan what a release is for, put roadmap items under it, then break those into tickets, so the day to day work always ties back to a release you are driving toward.
Where is my project data stored?
On your own devices, and in your own iCloud account when you are signed in. We do not run servers that hold your projects, and we cannot read what you write. See the Privacy Policy for the details.
Does Pandopus sync between my Mac and iPhone?
Yes. Syncing runs on Apple CloudKit using the iCloud account you are already signed in to, so your portfolio follows you between your Macs and your iPhone with no extra account to create and nothing to configure.
Is there an iPhone version?
Yes. The iPhone app is a companion to the Mac: see what ships next and what is blocked at a glance, browse each project's roadmap, add tickets and move them along, and capture ideas with photos while you are away from your desk. Deep planning, like shaping versions and preparing releases, stays on the Mac.
Where can I learn how to use it?
The help page walks through every part of the app on Mac and iPhone: projects, roadmaps, tickets, releases, ideas, and sync, with the keyboard shortcuts in one table. In the Mac app it is under Help in the menu bar. A new install also starts with an example project you can explore.
Does Pandopus collect my data?
The app reports anonymous usage events, such as which screens and buttons are used, so we know what to improve. It never sends the content you create: no project names, titles, notes, file names, or search terms. The Privacy Policy lists exactly what is collected.
