Introducing Acme: calm work tracking for small teams

Most work trackers assume you want more: more views, more fields, more automation, more dashboards. Acme starts from the opposite assumption. A small team needs to know three things — what the work is, who is doing it, and whether it is moving. Everything in Acme exists to answer one of those questions.

What you get on day one

When you sign up, you choose a username and land in your own fresh workspace. There is no sample project to delete and no tour to dismiss. The dashboard greets you with the handful of actions that actually matter at the start:

• Create your first task. Tasks move through a simple workflow — no configuration required before you can capture work.
• Invite a teammate. Invitations carry a role, so the person who accepts lands with exactly the access you intended.
• Review plans and limits. Billing is visible from the start, so there are no surprises later.

That first screen is deliberately quiet. Acme never fills empty space with invented numbers or placeholder activity; the product grows as your work does.

One workspace, clear boundaries

Everything in Acme is scoped to a workspace. Members hold explicit roles, sensitive changes ask you to re-confirm your identity, and workspace settings — name, membership, plan, deletion — live where you expect them. If your team outgrows the free plan, the Pro plan adds team invitations and higher member limits through an ordinary checkout, and you manage the subscription from a standard billing portal.

Built to stay out of the way

Acme supports light and dark themes, keeps interactions fast and quiet, and works as well on a phone as on a wide monitor. Notifications are grouped, opt-in per event type, and live behind a single bell — not scattered across banners.

We will use this blog to explain product decisions as we ship them. The changelog tracks each release. If you want to see the product itself, open a workspace — it takes about a minute and starts on the free plan.
