FoundStep

FoundStep is a project management tool for solo developers and indie hackers that enforces a strict lifecycle and accountability system to help you validate, focus, and actually ship side projects instead of abandoning them; it combines scope-locking, mandatory idea validation, one-active-version rules, and auto-advancement to prevent scope creep and half-built repos. Its AI features include an AI "Next Action" prioritizer that analyzes todos, deadlines and phase to surface Critical/Warning/Celebrate/Action items and an AI MVP Planner that generates multiple focused MVP plans, giving automated, prioritized guidance so you know what to build next. Use FoundStep if you repeatedly start but never finish projects and want constraint-driven accountability plus AI-backed prioritization to get to shipping.
