Hi Indie Hackers, I'm Keith, building Brightyard -- an all-in-one work management app for small teams!

Hey Indie Hackers, I’m Keith—founder and creator of Brightyard, an all-in-one work management app for solopreneurs and small teams. I’ve been a software consultant for most of my career, and I’ve always struggled with juggling multiple tools just to keep things running. Between endless email threads, communication tools, document repositories, and scattered to-do lists, it felt like I was spending more time on admin tasks than on actual work.

That frustration inspired me to build Brightyard. My goal is to give indie freelancers and small businesses a simple, integrated workspace—combining email, contact management, task tracking, document storage, and more—so they can spend less time switching between apps and more time focusing on what really matters (like growing their business).

Brightyard is currently in early-launch with over 100 signups on our waitlist. I’d love to share my journey and get your feedback as I build out new features. Ultimately, I’m aiming for a clean, intuitive interface that centralizes the daily workflow, with plans to add real-time chat and even AI-driven insights down the road.

I look forward to connecting with you all here, sharing my progress, and learning from your experiences. If this resonates with you or you’ve felt the same tool-juggling pain, I’d love to hear your thoughts, critiques, and suggestions.

Thanks for reading, and happy hacking!
