SquadJam

Hey Product Hunt! 👋

I'm Alan, a software engineer who spent years leading remote and hybrid teams.

The problem I kept hitting:

Every week I needed to run retros, check-ins, and icebreakers, and I'd waste 15 to 20 minutes hunting for activities across random websites, copying prompts into docs, or setting up boards that felt like overkill. Participation dropped, and the meeting energy died early.

So I built what I wished existed.

SquadJam is a central place for team rituals, retros, check-ins, icebreakers, planning poker, and live voting. Everything happens in real time, so you see responses appear live. No downloads, no participant accounts, just share a code and go.

What makes it different:

• 🎯 Purpose-built for team rituals (24 activities and counting)

• ⚡ Real-time participation, watch responses flow in live

• 🚀 Zero friction — participants join with a 6-digit code

• 💰 $5/mo flat — not $8/user. Only hosts pay, participants always free.

• 🔗 Jira integration — pull backlog for triage, push action items back, do poker planning and sync with tickets

I've been running Monday check-ins and Friday retros with my team for some weeks, and it genuinely changed how we connect. Retros that used to feel like pulling teeth now get full participation.

I'd love your feedback:

• What ritual do you run most often, and what's annoying about it today?

• What activity do you wish existed for your team?

If you try it, I'd love your honest take. I'll be here answering questions all day 🙌

Alan
