Built by people who get it
Manax started because we were tired of duct-taping five different tools together just to run a studio.
If you've ever run a game studio or creative team, you know the drill. Time tracking in one app. Project management in another. Meeting notes in a Google Doc somewhere. Bug reports in a spreadsheet someone forgot to share. Approvals over Slack or Discord DMs. And a monthly bill that's the sum of six different subscriptions - none of which actually talk to each other.
We've been through that. For years, we managed projects across scattered tools, lost context switching between them, and spent more time on admin than on the actual work. The bigger the team grew, the worse it got. Every new hire meant another seat on five different platforms.
So we built Manax - the tool we wished existed when we were in the trenches. One platform where your entire studio lives: projects, time tracking, approvals, meetings, bug reports, roadmap planning, announcements. All connected. All in one place.
We didn't set out to build a generic project management tool. There are plenty of those. We built something specifically for the way creative studios actually work - with production pipelines, client billing, team approvals, and the kind of organized chaos that comes with shipping creative work on a deadline.
Manax is still early. We're a small team, shipping fast, and listening to every studio that uses it. If something doesn't work for you, we want to hear about it. If something's missing, we want to know. This is built with you, not just for you.
What we believe in
These aren't just words on a wall. They're the decisions we make every day when building Manax.
One tool, not ten
Every feature we build replaces a separate subscription. We'd rather do six things well in one place than force you to glue together a dozen apps.
Built for studios, not everyone
We don't try to be everything for everyone. Manax is purpose-built for game studios, animation houses, and creative teams. That focus is our advantage.
Fair, transparent pricing
No per-user gotchas, no hidden fees, no enterprise-only features locked behind a sales call. You see the price, you know what you get.
Opinionated but flexible
We ship defaults that work out of the box. But every studio is different - so we make sure you can adapt workflows, roles, and views to fit yours.
Speed is a feature
We obsess over performance. Edge-first infrastructure, aggressive caching, real-time sync - Manax should feel instant, even on slow connections.
Your team, your data
We'll never sell your data or show you ads. Your projects, your time entries, your conversations - they belong to you. Export anything, anytime.
