About

Async is an open-source task management tool that doesn't just track work, it does it. Async automatically triages tickets, completes them, and tests from end-to-end. We're fully open-source and self-hostable, so you can customize Async to work for your company and your processes. Our mission is to kill engineering busywork: bug fixes, UI tweaks, papercuts, and KTLO.
