👋 Hey Product Hunt community! Tushar Imran here, Founder, Managing Director at Kodezen LLC
Today is a special day for us — we’re excited to finally introduce GemBoards to the Product Hunt community 🎉
Our story (and why GemBoards exists)
We’ve been building WordPress products for nearly 10 years.
Our journey started with Academy LMS, which is now one of the top-rated LMS plugins on WordPress.org. After that came aBlocks, StoreEngine, and more tools used by thousands of WordPress users worldwide.
But here’s something most people don’t see 👇
Behind the scenes, managing our own products was getting harder.
Like many growing teams, we tried almost every popular project management tool:
Jira
ClickUp
Trello
They were powerful — but also complex, expensive, and slow for day-to-day work.
Too many settings. Too much setup. Too much time managing the tool instead of the work.
At one point, we asked ourselves a simple question:
Why isn’t there a fast, cost-effective, no-nonsense project management tool built for real teams.
That question became GemBoards.
What is GemBoards?
GemBoards is a smooth, lightweight project management tool built inside WordPress, designed to help teams plan, track, and deliver work without complexity or hidden costs.
It supports the workflows teams already use — Kanban, Scrum, and Sprint-based planning with details reporting — but keeps everything clean, fast, and easy to understand.
We built GemBoards to feel:
Simple on day one
Powerful as your team grows
Affordable for everyone

Report
It’s great to see a project management tool that actually feels native to the WordPress workflow.
Most tools try to do way too much and end up feeling bloated, so I really appreciate the focus on keeping things lightweight and fast.
Having everything self-hosted for better data control is a huge plus.
The Kanban setup is smooth, though I’m looking forward to seeing even more keyboard shortcuts in the future to speed things up even more. Solid launch!
Love the focus on keeping Agile truly agile — clean, lightweight, and no unnecessary complexity. Sprint planning, Scrum, and Kanban made simple is exactly what agencies and startups need right now. Not every team wants bloated enterprise tools with overwhelming features and pricing.
