Getting in

1. Sign in with GitHub at app.honestcheetah.com. GitHub asks you to grant access to your repositories and to read which organizations you belong to. Why it asks for that.
2. Pick an organization. Your organizations are listed, plus the demo org.
3. Pick a Projects board, or let the project factory make one. The forecast and metrics are there as soon as the board has some history.

Coming from Azure DevOps? Skip step 3: import a team project and the board, the tasks and the history arrive together.

Work in GitHub. Work in Honest Cheetah. Same data.

Requirements, tasks, sub-issues, statuses, iterations and backlog order are GitHub Projects and Issues data, written back to GitHub with your own credentials. Open the same board in GitHub and it's all there. No shadow copy, and no lock-in beyond the GitHub you already picked.

Honest Cheetah keeps your settings (which statuses mean started and finished, your Definition of Done) and the history it records for the metrics. The one bigger exception, stated plainly: on a paid plan, test cases, runs and results live in Honest Cheetah, because GitHub has nowhere to put them. Every test case still links to the GitHub issue it verifies.

Why don't I see my organization?

Many company organizations on GitHub restrict which third-party apps can see their data. If yours does, Honest Cheetah can't see it until an organization owner approves the app, and until then the organization simply won't appear in your list. Nothing is broken.

The fix is a request to whoever owns your GitHub organization: "Please approve the Honest Cheetah OAuth app for our organization." Owners will find the pending request under the organization's third-party access settings. Once it's approved, sign in again and the organization is there. If you're not sure who your owners are, GitHub lists them on the organization's People page under the Owner role.

Not ready to ask yet? The demo org and any organization you own yourself work right away.

Look around the demo org first

After you sign in, the demo organization is there alongside your own: four sample teams with weeks of history, and every feature switched on, paid ones included. It's read-only and doesn't start a trial or touch your own organization.

Do I need the GitHub App?

No. Signing in is all the free product and the trial need. The Honest Cheetah GitHub App is for work that happens while nobody is signed in, like the overnight Daily News briefing on a paid plan. An organization owner can install it later, from the Daily News card, when you want that.

Paid features

Free covers everything Honest Cheetah computes. AI assistance, Daily News and test management are $25 per seat per month, five-seat minimum, and any member of your organization can start a 15-day trial for five people, no card, from inside the app. Pricing →

Tell me what's wrong with it

I'd rather hear it now. What's confusing, what's missing, what you'd pay for, what you'd never use. feedback@honestcheetah.com
