For software teamsSprints, capacity and delivery

Ops for builders, not admins.

Track time against sprints, run a founder-led pipeline, and invoice the work, without a heavyweight PSA that needs its own person to maintain.

  • Free forever plan
  • Keyboard-first
  • No admin overhead

The dev-shop stack

One workspace, not a PSA rollout.

Toggl for time, a heavy CRM nobody updates, a spreadsheet for budgets, a separate invoicing tool. Pistacio is the lightweight version people actually use.
