Project Brain

Project manager for indie developers

After 3 months of building, I launched Project Brain — a project manager

built specifically for indie developers.

Why I built it:

I was managing 4 side projects simultaneously in Notion, Trello, and plain

text files. Nothing fit the way I think. I needed: one app, multiple projects,

simple structure, mobile-first. So I built it.

The core concept:

Every project gets 4 tabs: Features, Design, Bugs, Notes.

Cards with 3 statuses: Idea → In Progress → Done.

No teams, no sprints, no setup time.

Stack:

React Native + Expo, Firebase, TypeScript.

Built solo, side project evenings and weekends.

First 30 days:

- Live on App Store

- Version 1.1 shipped with sync improvements

- First real users outside my circle

What's next:

- Desktop app (Tauri, in progress)

- Android version

- Widgets and notifications
