Hey guys! This is an incredible free project pipeline tool by Arda Kutlu, if any of you have experience in studio this is like a mini Shotgun. It is cross platform, cross renderer and very robust for a completely free tool. Highly recommend it for users working across multiple projects or in smaller studio environments with a small team and lacking a management tool. Here is a list of the supported features. Enjoy!

Awesome! Going to give this a try.

It's pretty sweet, great for project/shot management. Considering it's free is pretty insane for how good it is.

Hey Saul, any suggestions on what to use for projects with 240+ shots. Shotgun is too slow for our case. I would basically want something with all client comments in a basic google spreadsheet and being able to shuffle tasks between render and composit like in trello, if you're familiar with it.
