Fizzy

What is Fizzy?

Fizzy is a modern take on kanban project management, created by 37signals to address the over-complexity plaguing today's productivity tools. Unlike competitors that have accumulated unnecessary features over time, Fizzy returns to fundamentals—offering a clean, intuitive interface for tracking work that matters. The platform uses an elegant three-column default system (Not Now, Maybe, Done) that can be customized with additional columns as needed. With its focus on speed, colorful design, and genuine usability, Fizzy serves teams and individuals managing bugs, issues, ideas, small projects, and self-contained workflows such as podcast or video production. The application operates as a freemium model with generous free tiers (1,000 cards and 1GB storage) and an optional paid subscription for additional storage and unlimited cards. Fizzy is also available as open-source software that users can self-host.

Key Features

• Intuitive Kanban Boards

  Organize work with flexible, collapsible columns starting with three defaults (Not Now, Maybe, Done) that adapt to your workflow needs, allowing drag-and-drop card management across statuses.

• Golden Tickets Priority System

  Mark urgent items as Golden Tickets with a single click, automatically elevating them to the top of their column with distinct visual highlighting for immediate attention.

• Smart Auto-Close Feature

  Automatically archive inactive cards after a configurable period (default 30 days) to keep boards focused and prevent accumulation of neglected tasks—customizable at account or board level.

• Flexible Card Organization

  Create cards with text, images, lists, and cross-references; pin important cards for constant visibility; add steps and comments; assign to team members; and use tags for quick filtering across all boards.

• Picture Cards Feature

  Represent work visually first with picture-based cards, perfect for bug reports, design feedback, and visual issue tracking where screenshots and images convey information more clearly than text.

• Developer-Friendly Integration

  Access open-source code for self-hosting, configure webhooks for real-time notifications to other apps like Basecamp, and use personal access tokens for API-based integrations and automation workflows.
