Your AI tools produce work that looks right, passes review, ships, and fails weeks later — because they can only act on the context they can reach. Atono is a product engineering platform that captures product context with the work instead of in a doc that rots. Stories carry their own acceptance criteria, feature flag, usage data, and AI context in one object, and a 41-tool MCP server hands that context to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Codex. Free for up to 25 users.

Designing for Atono has been a lot of fun. We get to explore better ways to do something that is kind of ingrained in the industry. Do folks really use all the buttons in the UI and what can be removed? How can we reduce the need to switch between different apps when developing software? How can we surface what users care about proactively, but not in an annoying way?
In my day-to-day, I've really enjoyed brainstorming ideas with a small and experienced team who care about the user. I am looking forward to designing all the new features that are coming soon! :)
@heather_chiang I love that now you can say it was fun! Many sleepless nights working these problems to figure out a new way to provide an appropriately opinionated approach, with flexibility for intelligent customers who may want more - or less - information across the application. Thank you for sharing your artistic and scientific approach to designing great software!

What I find compelling about Atono is its focus derived from years of experience.
Sure there's Linear and Jira, but while those products are deep and handle enterprise needs, Atono is meeting the moment by offering teams that value craft, high agency, and rapid execution to come together in a shared environment to build better products.
And that requires taste, earned wisdom, and judgment.
Further improvement also requires feedback, and that's why I'm excited that the team is offering six months of free access to their business plan in exchange for 30 minutes of your unvarnished feedback.
What's to lose?

Hi Product Hunt! 🙋🏼
When I founded my last company, xMatters, we relied on over a dozen different tools from various vendors to build the product. It felt like a never-ending assembly line of inboxes, endless Slack threads, and tasks piling up. Each tool was disconnected, and every role – PMs, devs, QA – worked in silos with no visibility into each other’s work. 😤
After 15 months of hard work, we’ve built a tool tailored for cross-functional teams to deliver great products together in a clean, lean, and unstressed way. I’m excited to share it with you today. 🤞
Atono is an all-in-one platform to plan, build, run, and improve software.
Plan
Stay on track. Build timelines based on real cycle times. Organize work by product themes to focus your efforts and scale back where it matters.
Build
Deliver valuable features. Treat stories as first-class objects to communicate customer value, define goals, and keep teams aligned throughout the development process.
Run
Toggle features in context. Turn features on or off directly from the stories you’re working on. Take it a step further by customizing rollouts by environment, customer, or location.
Improve
Perfect bug report in one click. Use our Chrome extension to auto-capture diagnostic info—URL, device/browser data, console and network errors—and instantly generate a report in Atono.
What’s next? We still have a long road ahead of us (check out our public roadmap), but we’re excited to launch on PH and hear what you think of Atono.
As a special thank you to the PH community for your feedback, we’re waiving fees on our Business plan for six months! All we ask in return is a 30-minute call to hear about your experience once you’ve had time to explore Atono.

Congrats on the launch to the entire @Atono team! Knowing how great of a product xMatters is, I'm sure that Atono is going to knock it out of the park. The entire @Perspective AI team is rooting for you! 💪

@originalnate Thanks Nate and @Perspective AI for the support!

Our backend is built with a feature rich @Micronaut Framework providing all the modern tools and libraries, and then compiling it all into a highly optimized native image (no JVM in production!) that literally takes nanoseconds to boot up and be ready to serve HTTP requests. It only costs us a bit of extra CI/CD pipeline build time. The developers are still free to run the backend on the good old Java locally - keeping it easy to debug and avoiding the extra compile time.
I think this delivers the best of both worlds: the rapid application development of Java/Python/TypeScript paired with unrivalled performance of C/C++/Rust in production.
If you are looking for a framework to do a fresh green field project in, I'd recommend you to try this out.

As a QA, I'm often thinking about how to optimize processes and reduce the amount of chaos that comes with building and testing software - using a tool like Atono definitely scratches that itch. Almost everything I need for my day-to-day is in one place, bundled into a pared-back, minimalistic UI. In particular, its incredibly satisfying to report bugs using the Atono chrome extension directly from my testing environment, which automatically captures network/console errors and OS & browser information to create richer bug tickets. This streamlines the entire QA process - bugs are easier to report, reproduce and fix - and helps to maintain overall quality.
Super proud to see how Atono has evolved over the past year of building, and excited to see what the next year brings!

I really enjoy using Atono to manage our work. It's simple interface cuts out the clutter that can be found in other systems that are either too busy or not tailored to modern software development. And having feature flags right in to our story tickets makes it so easy to toggle my code on and off so I can work freely on my feature without having to worry about my in-progress code sneaking in to production. The Slack channel integration makes it easy to keep all the conversation about a feature in one place. Really looking forward to the new goodies we have planned too! It's been really fun to work on this product.
