A focused project tool for founders who need to know if today's work actually moved the needle. Built with a modern microservices architecture.
Validate the product-market fit before scaling
You check off 50 tasks this week. But did you actually get closer to your goal? Traditional task managers can't answer that question.
Opinionated by design. Less flexibility, more focus.
Define measurable outcomes with success metrics and deadlines. Every task connects to what actually matters.
Identify the conditions that must be true for success. Break complex goals into clear, binary milestones.
Visual progress bars and completion stats. See instantly if you're moving the needle or spinning wheels.
Today's view shows only what matters now. No clutter, no overwhelm, just clarity on next actions.
After completing tasks, reflect on impact. Build the habit of distinguishing busy work from real progress.
WebSocket-powered live updates. Changes sync instantly across sessions without refresh.
Not "launch website" but "get 10 paying customers by March 1st." Specific. Measurable. Time-bound.
What must be true for this outcome? "Landing page is live." "Payment works." Clear, binary conditions.
Break drivers into tasks. Complete them and reflect: did this actually move the needle?
A production-grade microservices architecture demonstrating modern backend patterns. Not a monolith with aspirations—a properly distributed system.
Services communicate through Kafka events, enabling loose coupling, scalability, and reliable message delivery with exactly-once semantics.
High-performance binary protocol for service-to-service calls. Protocol Buffers ensure type safety and efficient serialization.
Separate read and write models optimized for their specific use cases. ClickHouse handles analytics while PostgreSQL manages transactional data.
Go-based gateway handles authentication, rate limiting, and request routing. Single entry point for all external traffic.
Each service owns its domain, data, and deployment lifecycle.
Pinnacle isn't for teams managing sprints or agencies tracking billable hours. It's for the founder working alone who can't afford to spend a week on the wrong thing.
Free while in beta. We'll introduce pricing once we've proven the value.
Start with one outcome. See the difference clarity makes.
