HighFly Reviews & Product Details

HighFly is a project management platform built specifically for software teams whose entire workflow already lives inside GitHub and their code editor. It’s designed to remove the friction that usually comes with traditional project management tools and to fit naturally into the way developers already work. Instead of forcing people to switch between dashboards, boards, terminals, and editors, HighFly keeps everything in sync with GitHub activity and makes planning and tracking feel lightweight. HighFly provides a clean issue tracker where teams can plan work, group tasks, and keep a high level view of what’s happening across a project or organization. It doesn’t try to replace GitHub. Instead, it connects directly with it so the two stay aligned. When you link a GitHub pull request to a HighFly issue, the timeline and status of that task update automatically based on what happens in GitHub. When a pull request is opened, merged, or closed, HighFly reflects that in real time. This removes the manual effort of keeping two systems updated. Developers can continue doing everything through GitHub, while HighFly makes sure the project picture stays accurate. HighFly also integrates directly with editors like VS Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. This lets developers browse, open, and update issues without leaving the environment they write code in. The goal is to reduce context switching and keep people focused. It is not trying to be a bloated management suite. The philosophy is to stay fast, simple, and aligned with developer workflows instead of dragging teams into heavy processes. Teams can organize multiple projects, manage groups of people, and view progress at both the project and organization level. Comments, statuses, and activity feeds give visibility without creating noise. Because HighFly links directly to GitHub, each task benefits from accurate PR context, and each PR benefits from a clear sense of which task it belongs to. HighFly was created for teams who want structure without complexity. For developers who dislike updating tickets but still need a reliable place to plan and track work, HighFly provides a middle ground. It does not claim to solve everything. It focuses on being a tool that feels natural to software teams and that stays out of their way while still giving them clarity.
