Migrate your Nostromo data
Nostromo was a product management platform from Digital Natives that has permanently shut down. No new migrations are possible; historical data recovery requires working with archived backups or any pre-shutdown exports the customer secured.
In its favor
Why people choose Nostromo
The signal that keeps Nostromo on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Nostromo was chosen by product teams already invested in the Digital Natives ecosystem, particularly Hungarian and Central European software shops that used multiple Digital Natives tools in combination.
The platform shut down permanently due to limited resources, leaving customers without a live system and forcing emergency migration to alternatives like Jira, Linear, or Asana.
Customers cited weak integration support as a pain point, with the review noting the platform's resistance to connecting with third-party tools.
Without an active development team post-shutdown, bug fixes and feature requests went unaddressed, making the platform increasingly stale compared to competitors.

Pricing tiers
Nostromo pricing overview
Nostromo offers a free plan for individuals, non-profits, and education institutes with unlimited projects and features, plus paid team tiers. The vendor does not publish detailed per-seat pricing on review aggregators; quotes scale with team size and feature requirements. A free trial without credit card is available. Nostromo's positioning is digital product management — kanban + design integration + time tracking — rather than general PM.

What gets migrated
Nostromo object support
Object-by-object support for Nostromo migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Mapping requiredIf the customer preserved a full project export before shutdown, we map Projects to the destination's project or workspace construct. Without a live API, we work strictly from whatever structured backup file exists.
Tasks
Mapping requiredTask data migrates as subtask trees where the export preserves parent-child relationships. We reconstruct hierarchy from the exported structure and map to the destination's equivalent.
Users
Mapping requiredUser accounts are mapped to the destination's assignee or owner field. Email addresses and display names are preserved; role mappings depend on what role data the export contains.
Sprints
Mapping requiredIf the customer's export included sprint data, we map Sprint objects to the destination's sprint or iteration field. Without explicit sprint records, we fall back to date-based grouping.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom field definitions and values migrate as custom properties. We preserve field names and data types, noting that some destination platforms handle custom fields differently.
Attachments
Not in this platformNostromo did not expose attachments via its public export mechanism. Binary files (images, documents) are not recoverable from the archived backup format. We flag this gap and recommend re-attaching files from source systems where available.
Comments
Mapping requiredComments migrate as threaded notes or discussion entries depending on the destination platform's comment model. Authorship and timestamps are preserved from the export.
Labels
Mapping requiredTags and labels migrate as tags or categories in the destination. We deduplicate and normalise the label set during mapping.

How a Nostromo migration works
Four steps, Nostromo-specific
Connect
Per multiple third-party listings, Nostromo does not offer a public API. Authentication is therefore not applicable for external integrations beyond the in-app Slack connector. into Nostromo. Scopes limited to read-only on the data we move.
Map
We translate Nostromo-specific structures (custom fields, objects, value lists) to the destination's model.
Sample
Test with a 50–200 record subset to validate Nostromo quirks before production.
