SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 5day.io is a project management software taking a bold new path: one that strips away the noise and puts focus back on outcomes.
Founded by Jinal and Saumil Shah, it is a minimalist project management platform that helps teams reclaim speed, transparency, and calm in a world obsessed with features. The platform unites Projects, Tasks, Collaboration, Automation, and Timesheets into a single, distraction-free workspace that helps teams achieve more.
“We built 5day.io because we saw a pattern across every company we worked with,” says Jinal Shah, Co-founder. “Teams were doing everything right: setting goals, tracking progress, collaborating, and yet feeling overwhelmed. It wasn’t work that was exhausting them. It was the systems around it.”
Why 5day.io Feels Different Than Its Counterparts
While other popular platforms offer extensive features, these features often overwhelm teams with layers of configuration. They provide everything, but sometimes everything is too much. 5day.io takes the opposite approach: it delivers focus through design restraint. The platform allows teams to work in Minimal Mode, prioritizing impactful work by enabling flow.
“The problem we were solving applied to almost every startup and mid-sized company,” says Saumil Shah, Co-founder. “With hybrid and remote work becoming the norm, people crave flexibility, while companies crave outcomes. Building a platform that was flexible and genuinely delivered outcomes was the need of the hour.”
Focusing on the Future
The company’s roadmap moves beyond traditional project management. The team is building an AI-driven orchestration layer powered by contextual agents that understand projects, tasks, and client data. It enables work agent-to-agent to automate outcome delivery. “The future of work isn’t about humans managing tasks; it’s about intelligent systems managing context,” explains Saumil. “Our goal is to make 5day.io the operational brain of every modern company, a calm layer of intelligence that makes things happen.”
A Different Kind of Growth
Clean typography, a serene interface, and restraint in design mirror its philosophy. Where competitors grow by adding features, 5day.io grows by refining what’s essential.
“People are at their best when work feels simple,” says Jinal. With a growing global presence, 5day.io is building the future of work by giving teams space to think, create, and breathe again.
5day.io currently offers a 30-day trial for all users to experience their platform.
