For designers who don't think in tickets
Design isn't modular. You can't slice up creativity, exploration, or craft into 2-week sprints and story points.
Traditional tools break your creative flow
Built for engineers, painful for designers
Tickets reduce design to implementation
"Make the button blue." "Update the spacing to 16px." They treat design like pixel-pushing, not problem-solving. Your craft gets reduced to a checklist.
Context lives in Figma comments and Slack
Design rationale scattered across tools. When someone asks "why did we choose this?" you spend 20 minutes digging through old threads.
Design can't be scheduled like engineering
Exploration takes time. Iteration is messy. Sprint planning and story points don't capture how design actually works.
You pull work. You own it.
No one dumps tasks on your plate. The team votes on what matters, and you choose what you're ready to commit to. Autonomy over assignments.
Team votes show what's important
You decide what you take on
Work you choose is work you care about
Team Priorities
Vote to help decide what's most important
How Bonjour respects design craft
Clarity without micromanagement. Autonomy over assignments.
You pull work when you're ready
No assignments. You choose what you work on. You control your plate. Tasks are promises you make, not orders from above.
Asks describe outcomes, not methods
"We need a way to export user data"โnot "Create a button that calls POST /export with params X, Y, Z." You're the expert. Figure out how.
No dates, just priority
Today, Later, Someday. Work on what matters now without calendar anxiety. No artificial deadlines breaking your flow.
Context, not interruptions
Notes capture decisions and thinking. When you need context, ask AI instead of pinging teammates. Protect everyone's focus.
โจ Ask AI
Your daily assistant
Get context without breaking flow
Need to know why a decision was made? Ask AI instead of interrupting your teammate. The feed captures everything, and AI surfaces it instantly.
AI reads your team's entire history
Get answers without pinging anyone
Everyone stays in flow
"Finally, a tool that doesn't tell me how to do my job."
โ Designer who switched from Jira
Your work, your way
Bonjour gives you structure without stealing your autonomy
Vote on priority
What matters to a developer differs from a designer. The team decides together.
Share your thinking
Notes aren't status reports. They're your thinking made visible to the team.
Work in flow
No standups. No check-ins. Just you, your craft, and the work that matters.
