Retro boards for dev teams

Write the retro while the sprint is still happening.

rtro collects your team's cards all sprint and keeps them face down until the meeting. You walk in with the board already full, and walk out with tickets.

Watch a sprint turn into a retro.

It's the real board, not a video. Click anything to take over.

How it works

The first ten minutes of silent typing, deleted.

  1. 01

    During the sprint

    Staging breaks on Tuesday. You add a card on Tuesday, while you still remember why. One link, no account needed to write a card.

  2. 02

    At the retro

    The facilitator reveals every card at once. Nobody wrote theirs after reading the loudest person's. Three votes each, then talk about what won.

  3. 03

    After the retro

    Actions get an owner and go to your tracker as real issues. Next retro opens with their status, so "we said we'd fix that" has an answer.

Follow-through

The next retro opens with the receipts.

Most tools stop at "export". rtro creates a real issue for each action in GitHub, Linear or Jira, then pulls its status back when the next board opens. What your team promised is the first thing everyone sees.

No more scrolling through last month's doc to ask what happened to the staging fix.

On every board

Small rules that keep a retro honest.

Hidden until reveal

The server never sends a card you are not allowed to read yet. Not to teammates, not to the facilitator.

Anonymous by design

Author names never leave the server, in any phase. Cards get judged on what they say.

Three votes each

A fixed budget, stackable on one card. The meeting's time goes to what actually won.

Owners on every action

An action without a name attached is a wish. rtro asks for the name before it leaves the room.

Markdown out

The outcome copies as plain Markdown, ready for the sprint notes, Slack or the wiki.

Instant boards

Name a board and share one link — nobody signs up. It disappears after 24 quiet hours, so export the outcome before it goes.

Integrations

Actions land where the work already lives.

Connect a tracker once per team. Each action becomes a real issue — titled by the action, with the owner, the source card, the votes and a link back to the board in its body. Status flows back before your next retro.

GitHub Issues

payments-api#142 · closed

Installed as a GitHub App on your org, so issues open where the code lives. Closed comes back as done.

Linear

LIN-88 · In progress

Connects with OAuth and maps your workflow states, so started reads as in progress and completed as done.

Jira Cloud

PAY-217 · To do

Connects with OAuth. Pick a project once, and every synced action files itself as an issue there.

One-way by design: rtro creates issues and reads their status. It never edits, closes or imports them.

Pricing

Priced by the team, not the head.

A retro only works if everyone is in it. Invite the contractor, the designer and the new hire without doing seat math.
