AI Checklists
Every task becomes a sequence of concrete, checkable steps — ordered, scoped, and specific to what you're building.
Stop managing tasks. Start executing them.
Give Stride a task and a deadline. It breaks the work into an executable checklist, writes the AI prompts, and tells you the one next step — every time you get stuck.
Early Access is open — no credit card.

The problem
You don't forget work. You forget the next step.
A backlog tells you what's left. It never tells you what to actually do at 2pm on a Tuesday when you're stuck between three half-finished tasks. That gap — between "I have a task" and "I know exactly what to do right now" — is where momentum dies.
Stride closes that gap. Every time.
How it works
Two inputs. One clear next move.
01
Enter
Give Stride a task and a deadline. That's the entire input — no project setup, no fields to configure.
02
Break down
Stride turns it into an ordered, executable checklist — concrete steps, not vague action items.
03
Execute
Work one step at a time. Stuck? Stride generates the next prompt or gives you a way through.
What's inside
Nine parts. One engine.
Fast Track Prompts
Copy-ready prompts for your AI tool, scoped to the exact step you're on right now.
Focus Mode
One task. One timer. Everything else disappears from the screen.
Block Resolution
Tell Stride what's blocking you. Get a concrete way to move past it, not generic advice.
GitHub Import
Pull issues straight in and turn them into execution checklists automatically.
Priority Engine
Deadlines and dependencies decide what's next — not whichever tab is open.
Execution Timeline
See exactly where every task sits, from entered to done, with blockers surfaced instead of buried.
Deadline Awareness
Stride tracks time pressure and resurfaces work before it's late — not after.
One Next Step
At any moment, ask Stride what to do right now. Get one answer, not a list.
Execution flow
Every task follows a real path.
Blocked isn't a dead end — it's a branch. Stride routes you back to done instead of leaving the task stuck.

Inside Stride
Today's focus. Nothing else.
Open Stride and see one task, one deadline, and an ordered checklist — with status, blockers, and the next move already worked out.

Deep work — step 3 of 5
Focus mode
One task on screen. Everything else gone.
Focus mode strips the interface down to the current step and a countdown. No backlog, no notifications, no tabs to manage — just the work in front of you.
Currently working: Wire callback route
GitHub import
Import without the copy-paste.
Pull GitHub issues straight into Stride. They become an execution checklist automatically — no re-typing the same context twice.

Fast track prompts
Prompts that know where you are.
Every checklist step comes with a ready-to-copy AI prompt — scoped to exactly what you're working on, with the constraints that matter already baked in.
# CONTEXT Node/Express service, next-auth session handling, OAuth2 provider migration in progress. # CURRENT STEP Wire the OAuth2 callback route and exchange the authorization code for a session. # CONSTRAINT Don't break existing session cookies for users mid-session during rollout. # RETURN The exact code changes needed, file by file._
About Stride
Built by developers who got tired of staring at a backlog.
We didn't need another place to write tasks down. We needed something that told us what to do next, wrote the prompt, and got out of the way. Stride is that tool. It's early, it's opinionated, and it's built in public.
Currently in Early Access.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
No. To-do lists store tasks. Stride turns a task into an executable sequence and tells you the next step — that's a different job entirely.
No. Stride doesn't manage your time blocks — it manages what you do with your focused time once you're in it.
Tell Stride what's blocking you. It works through the blocker with you and gives you an unstick path or a prompt to move forward.
Yes. Pull issues in directly and Stride turns them into an ordered execution checklist.
Stride is in Early Access right now. Pricing will be announced when broader access opens up.
Stride isn't tied to one model. We use whichever produces the most accurate breakdown and prompt for the step you're on.
Your backlog isn't the problem.
Not knowing what's next is.
