Koala beta is now open
We kicked Koala off last October, and in February we opened it up to an early group of people who found us through my socials. They used it on their real work, told us what helped and what didn’t, and shaped so much of the Koala you can use today. Thank you to every one of them. Now a real beta is open.
What we’ve learned
When you’re designing for our community, opening up early matters. We did it so we could build something good with the people it’s for, and that feedback is what got Koala here. The biggest shift was flexibility: Koala now lets you add work beyond your capacity, reprioritise and change the plan, because you know your day better than any tool does.
Valese Jones became our first paying customer during the alpha:
“Using project management systems was the most painful experience for me before this. I literally couldn’t use one for longer than 2 months before I got rid of it. Yesterday I became the first paying customer for the app because finally something works with how my brain works.”
What this beta is for
The next stage is about showing and capturing value. We want to find out whether Koala really relieves work friction and reduces overwhelm for neurodivergent people, and whether it gives professionals and businesses enough value to pay for it.
That’s why this is a paid beta, and why we especially want to see Koala inside organisations, with people who work with a manager and a team around them. If you’d like to bring Koala into your organisation, we’re ready for that conversation.
Prices go up when we launch in March. Join during the beta and you keep your price for life.
Come and say hello
We’ll be building in public on our socials, and every Tuesday from 6pm to 7pm UK time I host Koala Up With Me, a free drop-in on Google Meet. Come and get set up, or just come for a chat.
