The issue tracker built for speed
Tangent is how fast product teams plan, track, and ship — issues, boards, and cycles in a keyboard-first workspace, with an AI agent that handles the busywork.

01 · Issues
Issues that move at the speed of thought
Create in seconds, triage with single keys, and never hit refresh — every change syncs to every teammate in real time.
Fast by default
Optimistic updates land before your hand leaves the keyboard. No spinners between you and the work.
Sub-issues & relations
Break work down, mark blockers and duplicates, and keep every dependency visible.
Comments & @mentions
Discussion lives on the issue — mention a teammate and they're in the loop instantly.
A full audit trail
Every status change, assignment, and edit lands in the activity feed automatically.
Polish board drag physics on long columns
Cards should settle with a 120ms ease-out when dropped between columns. Today the spring overshoots when the target column is scrolled, which makes fractional reordering feel imprecise.
Sub-issues · 2/3
@Ada repro’d this on a 60-card column — fix in review, demo in the cycle sync.

02 · Board & Cycles
Momentum you can measure
Drag issues across a fluid board, plan work into auto-numbered cycles, and watch scope and progress update live as the team ships.
Migrate issue search to the Tangent index
Cycle burndown drifts across weekends
Polish board drag physics on long columns
Fix flaky websocket reconnect
Unfinished issues roll into Cycle 15 automatically.
A board that keeps up
Fractional ordering means drops land exactly where you put them — even mid-drag from a teammate.
Cycles on rails
Two-week heartbeats, numbered automatically. Unfinished work rolls forward on its own.
Progress, computed
Scope, started, and completed counts are derived from the issues — never hand-updated.
Projects across teams
Group work toward an outcome and track health from one page, org-wide.

What shipped in Cycle 14, and what’s at risk before Friday?
Shipped (8) — keyboard triage, auth redirect fix, board virtualization, and 5 more.
At risk (2) — ENG-147 Tangent index migration has no reviewer; ENG-146 is blocked on a data backfill.
03 · AI Agent
An AI agent on the roster
Tangent's agent works inside your workspace with org-scoped tools — it files issues, summarizes cycles, drafts standups, and catches duplicates before they ship.
Chat with context
It knows your teams, cycles, and backlog — answers come from your data, not the void.
Tools, not just talk
Creates, updates, and searches issues with the same permission checks as any member.
Reports on demand
Standups and cycle summaries written from real activity, ready to paste anywhere.
Duplicate radar
Semantic search over every issue flags lookalikes the moment something is filed.
04 · Keyboard-first
Your hands never leave the keyboard
Everything in Tangent is a command. One palette, single-key shortcuts, and zero context switches between thinking and doing.

05 · Everything else
All the table stakes, none of the bloat
The features you expect from a serious tracker — built in, fast, and out of your way.
Full-text search
Find any issue by title or description in milliseconds, scoped to your workspace.
Saved views
Slice the backlog by status, assignee, label, or cycle — then save the view for the team.
Attachments
Drop logs, screenshots, and specs straight onto the issue. Stored alongside the work.
Mentions & threads
Pull the right person into the conversation with @mentions that notify instantly.
Live presence
See who's viewing an issue right now, so you never collide on an edit or a triage call.
Multi-team workspaces
Each team gets its own key, board, and cycles — ENG-142 means the same thing to everyone.
Loved by builders
Teams switch for the speed. They stay for the calm.
“We moved four thousand issues over a weekend and nobody asked how to use it on Monday. It’s that obvious.”

VP Engineering ·Tidal
“The cycle reports the agent writes are better than the ones I used to write. I checked. Twice.”
Theo Park
Engineering Lead ·Aperture
“Tangent is the first tracker our engineers don’t complain about. ⌘K does everything, and the board never lags.”
