You shouldn't have to take our word for it.

When you're evaluating a production management platform, the most important question is "does it actually work for studios like mine?" We get it. So let the people who've shipped real productions answer that.

300+ Studios Can't Be Wrong

Kitsu is used by over 300 studios worldwide, from indie animation houses to large-scale VFX productions, spanning feature films, TV series, video games, and shorts. It's been shaped by years of feedback from the producers, supervisors, and artists who use it every day.

From Chaos to Clarity: A Real Production Story

Studio profile: 25-person team, TV series, tight delivery schedule, remote artists across 3 time zones.

Before Kitsu:

• Shot statuses lived in spreadsheets manually updated by one coordinator
• Artists missed feedback because review notes were scattered across email threads
• The director had no reliable way to see overall production health without a weekly standup
• Onboarding a new artist took 2–3 days of setup and explanation

After Kitsu:

• Every task, revision, and comment is tracked in a single live dashboard
• Artists receive real-time notifications when their tasks are updated or reviewed
• The director checks a production report every morning, no meeting required
• New artists are autonomous within a few hours

The result: The studio delivered the series on time and has since scaled to a second production running in parallel on Kitsu.

What Producers Are Saying

Built for the Whole Studio, Trusted at Every Level

Kitsu is embraced by the people doing the work:

• Producers use it to track budgets, forecast costs, and generate client-ready reports
• Directors & supervisors rely on it for playlist reviews, annotation tools, and version comparison
• Artists keep their todo lists current and submit previews without leaving their DCC tool
• Production coordinators manage task dispatching, scheduling, and resource allocation all in one view

Things stop falling through the cracks when the whole team is in the same system.

Open Source. Independently Verified.

Unlike proprietary black-box tools, Kitsu is open source:

• You can inspect the code before you commit
• Hundreds of studios and developers have contributed to and stress-tested the platform
• There's no lock-in. Your data stays yours

Transparency is how we operate.
