## About

Streamlined issue tracking and project management tool for software teams

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria, verified by community testing in April 2026. Core features work normally, including account creation, projects, tickets, team invites, API keys, GitHub import, and the Android app, but buying a paid plan fails because Stripe blocks checkout, and importing from Jira, Asana, or Shortcut is blocked by those third parties. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
