Shortcut — Project Management That Software Teams Actually Enjoy

Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse) is a project management platform built specifically for software teams that find Jira too complex and Trello too simple. It combines the structure of issue tracking with the simplicity of a modern interface — epics, stories, iterations, and roadmaps without the configuration overhead.

The Missing Middle

Trello boards work for small teams but fall apart at 10+ engineers. Jira handles enterprise complexity but drowns small teams in configuration. Shortcut occupies the sweet spot — structured enough for real software development, simple enough to start using in minutes.

Core Workflow

Stories represent units of work with types (Feature, Bug, Chore), estimates, and labels. Epics group related stories for feature-level tracking. Iterations are time-boxed sprints with velocity tracking. Milestones represent business goals that span multiple epics.

Developer-Friendly

Deep GitHub and GitLab integration auto-updates story status based on branch and PR activity. Push a branch named sc-1234/feature-name and the story links automatically. Merge the PR and the story moves to Done. CLI and API for everything.

Shortcut vs Linear

Linear has a more polished keyboard-driven interface. Shortcut has better epics, milestones, and roadmap features for bigger teams. Linear is better for small teams wanting speed. Shortcut is better for teams of 15+ wanting structured project management.
