Helping Indie Devs Finish What They Start

Our mission is to help indie developers stay focused and motivated through every stage of their creative journey. We believe that project management shouldn’t feel like a second job. FoundStep strips away unnecessary complexity and gives you only what truly matters , clarity, progress, and momentum. We’re here to make sure you don’t just start projects , you finish them.

A world where simplicity fuels productivity, and small daily wins lead to complete, polished releases.

The Indie Mind Behind the Mission

👋 Hi, I’m Dinuka Nilupul, a solo developer who built FoundStep from the ground up. Like many indie devs, I’ve started countless side projects full of excitement, only to watch them fade away in endless to-do lists and burnout. I wanted to change that , not just for myself, but for every indie developer who dreams of bringing their ideas to life.

FoundStep is the result of that journey , a simple, focused workspace that keeps motivation alive and helps you finish what you start. Built by one of you, for all of us.
