About Kitemaker
Kitemaker is a faster and more collaborative alternative to Jira optimized for remote teams. It's helping teams spend less time and effort on collaboration by providing a place for discussing and documenting initiatives, it collects activities and discussions across tools, and it's fast and simple to use. Unlike tools like Jira and Notion, our primary focus is helping software development teams spend less time coordinating across tools and roles so they have more time figuring out and building the things their users want.
