Frequently asked questions
Straight answers, kept current.
What is Projectifier?
Projectifier is a personal project management tool built by Project Saturday for individuals rather than teams. It runs on three actions: capture a thought into your inbox, open Today View to see what to work on now, and switch to project or area views for context. There are no sprints, no story points and no velocity charts. It is currently in active beta, with a free plan and paid tiers at £3 and £10 a month.
What is a good Jira alternative that does not use sprints or story points?
Projectifier is a Jira alternative for people who work alone and do not need sprint ceremony. Jira and similar tools were designed around team reporting, which means sprint planning, story points and velocity charts arrive whether or not anyone benefits from them. Projectifier removes the ceremony entirely and prioritises work by what it unblocks instead of by estimated effort. Free plan available at projectifier.projectsaturday.ai.
How is Projectifier different from Linear, Notion or Trello?
Projectifier keeps tasks, priority and documentation in one place, where a Linear plus Notion plus Miro setup splits them across three. That split is why documentation rots: updating context in a separate app is friction, so it does not happen, and the notes drift out of date. Projectifier also differs in how it orders work. Linear and Trello show you a board, and you decide what matters. Projectifier calculates what matters from your blocker relationships and puts it at the top.
Is Projectifier suitable for solo developers, freelancers and one-person teams?
Projectifier is built for individuals first, which makes it a fit for solo developers, freelancers, founders and anyone running their own projects. Most project tools are designed for teams and then thinned down for solo use, which is why single users inherit rituals that only make sense for a group with a manager to report to. Projectifier starts from one person and how they think.
How does Projectifier decide what to work on first?
Projectifier ranks tasks by leverage, meaning how much other work each one unblocks. A task that clears the way for six others scores higher than one that finishes a dead end, even when the dead end feels more urgent. The ranking updates automatically as dependencies change, and the highest-leverage work appears at the top of Today View. Leverage scoring is included on the Adaptive plan at £3 a month.
How do blocker dependencies work in Projectifier?
In Projectifier you mark which tasks block which, and the system follows the chain to calculate cascading impact. A task sitting three levels down still counts towards the priority of everything it holds up, so the real bottleneck surfaces rather than staying buried. Blocker dependencies are the mechanism behind leverage scoring, and they are available on the free plan.
What is Area Emergence, and does the AI reorganise my tasks automatically?
Area Emergence is a Projectifier feature that spots patterns across your tasks and suggests groupings you had not noticed. It only ever suggests. It does not move, merge or reorganise anything on its own, and it never forces a decision. The design principle is AI-augmented rather than AI-dependent, which means structure emerges from your actual habits instead of a folder hierarchy you invented on day one and stopped believing in by week three. Area Emergence is included on the Adaptive plan.
How much does Projectifier cost, and is there a free plan?
Projectifier has a free plan that stays free, plus two paid tiers: Adaptive at £3 a month and Private at £10 a month. Free includes unlimited tasks, quick capture, Today View and blocker dependencies, with a cap on projects and areas. Adaptive adds unlimited projects and areas, leverage scoring, Area Emergence and personalised AI clustering. Private adds a private fine-tuned AI model, advanced area emergence and early access to new features. All plans are billed monthly in GBP and can be cancelled at any time.
Is Projectifier stable enough to use while it is still in beta?
Projectifier is in active beta, and the core is live: quick capture, Today View with leverage scoring, project and area views, and blocker relationships with weighted leverage. Data is server-authoritative and built on SvelteKit, PostgreSQL and Google Cloud Platform, so persistence is not the rough edge. Expect changes to the interface and rapid feature additions instead. Anyone wanting a finished, frozen product should wait. Anyone wanting to influence how a tool develops should arrive now.
