No lightweight project management tool for solo developers

Problem Description

Most project management tools are built for teams with multiple roles, meetings, and complex workflows. As a solo developer, tools like Jira or ClickUp feel overwhelming and slow me down instead of helping. On the other hand, simple to-do list apps lack structure and don’t help me track progress across features, bugs, and long-term goals. I need something that helps me stay organized without forcing me to adopt a heavy process. Right now, I’m constantly switching between notes, task apps, and mental reminders, which leads to lost context and unfinished work.
