Product management
at terminal speed.
Plain text in your repo. AI on your terms.
From idea to release, all in your repo.
Joy gives you roadmaps, milestones, and every kind of item, decisions, epics, stories, bugs, as plain text in your repo. Versioned with your code, readable, portable, yours. Capture and move work from the terminal in a keystroke, or open the same board on the web. No database to run, nothing locked away, no account to start.
Bring AI into the work. Keep your hands on the wheel.
Delegate a task to an AI agent from your terminal, or let the platform run it as a job. Either way, you decide what each agent may touch, what it may spend, and what still needs your sign-off. AI proposes, you dispose. Nothing an agent does lands as final until a human opens it.
The Trust Model. Built in, not bolted on.
The same control whether you are one developer or a regulated team. Four things decide how every member, human or AI, can act, and they scale from quiet defaults to full proof as you grow.
Identity & Delegation
Every member acts under a verified identity. AI works on delegated authority, never its own.
Capabilities & Gates
Each member has capabilities, each item demands the ones it needs. AI cannot step outside its scope or past a gate.
Cost Control
Budgets per job and per AI member, checked before work starts. You always know what AI spends.
Evidence on Record
Every action logged in your repo, with its delegation. Trust you can prove, ready for an audit when you need it.
The same tool, from your first commit to your first audit.
Joy does not change as you grow. The workflow stays the same. What grows is how much trust you need to prove, and Joy proves more as you go.
Implicit trust.
Roadmaps, milestones, decisions, epics, stories, and bugs, all as plain text in your repo, with your AI tool working alongside you. Capabilities and gates are there from the first command, but you barely notice them. You trust yourself, Joy just keeps the record.
Explicit trust.
Now trust is shared. Every member, person or AI, gets exactly the capabilities they need, AI jobs run in isolated containers within budget, and everyone sees the same state.
Verified trust.
Trust is no longer assumed, it is proven. Tamper-evident audit, compliance reports, full customization and your own forge will put the answer on file before an auditor asks.
One source of truth. Every way in.
Joy lives in your repo, but you do not have to. The same work is one terminal command, one web page, or one click in the desktop app away. Developers stay in the CLI. Everyone else gets a full view without ever touching it.

For the people who shape, design, and lead, not just the ones who code: boards, roadmaps, and progress on the web, and soon your tasks in the calendar and reminders you already use. Be part of your team without learning a new tool.
Set the rules once. Then watch them hold.
Start in your repo. Joy writes everything as plain text into .joy/, versioned with your code.
Add your AI tool as a member, but only for what you trust it to do. Here it may implement, test and review, nothing else.
Capture the work. The story carries the capabilities it needs to move forward.
Decide where a human must sign off. One gate: AI may do the work, but it cannot close its own.
The AI implements and submits for review. You close it. Every step carries an identity.
Nothing to set up. The event log already recorded who did what, when, and who delegated it.
Simple pricing, no lock-in.
The CLI is free and MIT licensed. The platform adds collaboration, orchestration, and governance.
All prices include VAT.
