List View

Structure for teams who
think in rows.

Group tasks by sprint, section, or milestone. Every row shows status, priority, assignee, due date, and tags. Create tasks inline without breaking your flow.

  • Group by sprint, section, or custom label
  • Collapsible sections — hide what you're not focused on
  • Inline task creation — no modal, no context switch
  • Overdue tasks call out in red automatically

CLI Task Syntax

Create a fully attributed task
in one line.

Smart CLI syntax parses assignee, priority, tags, due date, and project from a single command. The task lands in FishLadder and syncs to Linear simultaneously — no browser tab required.

  • @name — assign to a teammate
  • !high — set priority (low / med / high / urgent)
  • #tag — add labels
  • due:friday — natural language dates
  • >project — assign to a project
fishladder — zsh

Connected to Roadmap

Every task knows why it exists.

Most teams plan on a roadmap then execute in a completely separate tool with no thread back to strategy. In FishLadder, every task lives inside a roadmap project — so the connection is always there.

  • Tasks are created inside roadmap projects
  • Roadmap progress updates as tasks complete
  • Stakeholder asks "where does this fit?" — one click answers it
  • Feedback links to tasks links to roadmap — full chain

Why FishLadder

How we compare to Asana

Asana is great at tasks. It has no roadmap, no feedback loop, no hiring pipeline, and no CLI. FishLadder does all of it — for less per seat.
