The accumulation of unresolved TODOs contributes to the long-term maintenance overhead of your projects.

                TODO: Fix this later.
              
LeBlanc's Law - “Later equals never”

Banning them is not the solution.

Forbidding TODOs hides issues and deprives developers of a valuable tool from their toolbox.

Catana solves the three flaws of TODOs - visibility, accountability and forgettability - and helps project owners and developers take back control over their TODOs.


TODOS from all your projects. in one place.

Code, commit, push... as usual.

Catana processes and records all TODO comments in real-time, automatically assigns them to their corresponding git committers, and sends scheduled reminders.

Your workflow doesn’t change.
                  TODO: Rename this function.
                
Expire your TODOs.

Having notification fatigue? You decide when to be notified!
Set a trigger to expire your TODO at your desired time or condition.

                    on: ‘2023-02-14’
                    )
