Balsa is for organizing ideas, tracking projects, and collaborating with your team. Give it a try and see how it can simplify your workflow!
A better doc for making software
We are huge fans of products like Dropbox Paper and Notion. These products are great for lots of different use cases, but we aim to make a document that is great for making software—with the ability to write specs and put a plan into action in one place.
Simplified text formatting that make docs easy to write and a joy to read
Structured modules like milestones that can power views like timelines and rosters
All-in-one workflow from doc to execution without the overhead of out-of-date documentation or switching tools
