About Hierarch
Hierarch exists because every project management tool treats design work like engineering work. We decided to build one that doesn't.
The problem
Designers spend their days in Figma, Linear, Slack, Notion, and a timer app. Each tool handles one piece of the workflow. The actual structure of design work, the phases, the iterations, the feedback loops, lives in everyone's heads and a handful of Slack threads nobody can find.
Generic PM tools bolt on a kanban board and call it done. They treat "In Progress" and "Done" as the whole story. For design, that misses the point entirely.
What we built
Hierarch is a project management tool built specifically around the design process. Five nonlinear phases (Explore, Design, Iterate, Review, Handoff) replace the generic status column. Artifacts, from research notes to Figma files with live thumbnails, attach directly to tasks. A built-in focus timer tracks deep work per task. Integrations with Linear, Figma, Jira, and Slack keep everything connected.
The goal is straightforward: one place to manage design work that respects how design work actually happens.
Who we are
Hierarch is built by a small team of designers and engineers who got tired of adapting their workflow to tools built for someone else. We ship fast, we use the product ourselves every day, and we listen to the designers using it.
What's next
We're in open beta. The core product is stable and getting better every week. We're actively building the insights view (phase analytics, feedback round tracking, completion funnels) and expanding integrations. If you have opinions about how design project management should work, we want to hear them.
