Who we are 👋

We empower users to achieve their goals.

Kairn is the productivity tool for ambitious individuals and teams to prioritise their days across projects and tools.

Teams collaborate across a wide number of tools, think Jira, Linear for developers, Figma, Whimsical for designers, Asana, Salesforce, Hubspot, GoogleSheet, for marketing teams, Airtable, Notion, Docs, for Ops + our communication tools Slack, emails, Zoom… To manage projects, they use old project tools built for managers, not for team members, failing at engaging with the right user.

Because of that, users add an extra layer of personal task management to prioritise their days. That’s yet another disconnected tool leading to out-of-date data across tools making team progress impossible.

We think that process is broken. To solve it we build a user-centric approach to project management serving users instead of managers. Kairn is the place where you prioritise your days, across all your projects and tools. From personal to professional projects we enable you and your crew to get things done, faster, better, together. Clear the mess, prioritise projects with updated data, and progress everyday. Basically, have a kick ass day.

• Thousands of people have signed-up for our beta and we’re getting great initial feedback on first users

Our tech team is driven by challenge and looking for continuous improvement. We like to be proud of what we build with clean code, reviews, and tests but we understand the urgency of early-stage so we build with speed in mind.
