Hey PH!
Over the past year I shipped a dozen iOS and visionOS apps and the messy part is not the code but everything that comes after: future release plans, App Store events, featuring nominations, blog drafts, Product Hunt launches, you know the drill.
I wanted to build a place where everything - from bug fixes to midnight ideas - could live, overlay the calendar, and sync with App Store Connect. I didn't care for sprints, story points, or collaboration features. Just needed a tool to ship my apps more efficiently. We need more developer tools built by indie devs who actually understand the pain of shipping, so Docket is my contribution to that ecosystem.
What makes it different from Trello et al: it connects to ASC directly, has a CLI and MCP server so @Claude Code and other AI tools can manage your tasks from the terminal, and tracks launch content (PH posts, HN threads, blog posts) alongside releases.

What's the messiest part of your shipping workflow?
@valzevul Docket's App Store Connect sync is the detail that makes this more than another task board. Exposing a CLI and MCP server so Claude Code can manage tasks directly is smart for solo devs juggling multiple apps. The tricky part is conflict resolution when an agent updates via CLI while you're editing in the UI.

@piroune_balachandran aye, that could be a problem indeed, so that's something I tested excessively for - there is a single source of truth (the database) and state machines making sure conflicts are resolved properly.

The App Store Connect sync is the feature that separates this from yet another task board — indie iOS devs juggling release notes, featuring nominations, and marketing timelines across separate tools is a real workflow mess. Having Claude Code manage tasks via MCP directly from the terminal closes the loop between coding and project management without context switching. Does the calendar overlay show ASC events alongside your custom milestones in a unified timeline view?

@svyat_dvoretski thanks for checking Docket out! Yes, indeed, the calendar overlay shows your scheduled releases, blog post drafts, ProductHunt launches, etc and also pulls events and nominations from App Store Connects.
How does Docket coordinate tasks created by AI agents via the MCP server or CLI with manual edits from the UI, and how do you prevent conflicts or duplicate updates in the task state?
Good luck today!

@konstantinalikhanov thanks, that’s a great question! There is a single source of truth (the database) and access is controlled via a state machine to prevent race conditions and locks, so AI agents and the developer can collaborate on the projects simultaneously.
The ASC sync is what makes this interesting. For my current launch I'm juggling App Store submission, ASA setup, PH prep, and Reddit posts across Notes, App Store Connect, and random text files. Having that in one place tied to the actual release timeline would save a lot of context switching.
To answer your question: the messiest part for me is coordinating the marketing side with the technical side. The app can be ready but the screenshots, store description, and launch posts are always trailing behind on a separate track with no connection to the build status.
When building and shipping is instant, isn't Docket future a pit stop for agents to coordinate and be organized? Congrats on the launch!

@mcarmonas thank you! Yes, I think it's nice to have something that keeps you visually up-to-date on projects' progress instead of leaving a bunch of changelog and markdown files I need to query and diff/compare to each other to figure out what's going on behind the curtains.
