Where Accountability
Meets Leaders
Vitae Dux is accountability software for small teams. Every task, project, and goal has exactly one named owner, and an Accountability Score shows who delivered and what slipped. Every result has a name on it. Track tasks, projects, and goals with accountability baked into every layer, from the database up.
An accountability engine for small teams.
Vitae Dux was built for leaders who answer for outcomes, and the teams they're accountable to.
Goal-driven by design
Every task ladders up to a project. Every project ladders up to a goal. When work ships, your goals move. No more disconnected to-do lists.
Accountability first
Built-in scorecard, ownership tracking, blocker logging, help requests. The hard conversations get easier when the data is right in front of you.
Your data stays yours
Each team's data is walled off from every other organization at the database level. Two-factor authentication (an authenticator app) is required to access your workspace. Owners and admins can export the workspace anytime, and anyone can delete their own account.
Every shot lands on your team’s goals.
Goals don’t move on their own. Owners do.
Four steps turn scattered work into follow-through you can see, and grade. For the thinking behind it, read accountability vs project management.
Set the goal
Name what the team is trying to achieve, not just a list of tasks.
Assign the owner
Every project and task has one name on it. No more “I thought you had it.”
Track to done
Workflow stages, blockers, and decisions: the truth of where work really stands.
Watch the score move
One Accountability Score grades the team’s follow-through and updates as work moves.
If you’re the one chasing everyone for status…
…this replaces the chase with a single screen. Vitae Dux fits the teams where ownership is everything. (Agency life? Read why agency deliverables slip.)
Built by a leader who needed it first.
I'm Nikita Moore. I've spent more than ten years in IT, including years leading teams and projects in healthcare and finance, and I was the accountability system for my teams: chasing status, keeping score by hand, remembering who owned what. So I built the tool I wished I had. Improvements ship regularly; see the public changelog.

Start free. Upgrade when the team grows.
A flat base plus a simple per-seat add-on: you pay seat fees only for the seats you add. Your first paid plan includes a 14-day trial (a card is required to start it; no charge until the trial ends, cancel before then for $0). The Free plan needs no card. Monthly billing only for now. Annual billing coming soon.
Accountability you can audit, starting with our own.
Your team’s data is kept separate from other teams and encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). Owners and admins can export it any time, and anyone can delete their own account.
Each team’s data is kept separate
Every workspace record is tagged with your organization’s ID. Each team’s data is walled off from every other organization at the database level, so the database itself checks who is asking before it returns anything. These strict permission rules apply to our own app too.
Two-factor authentication, required
An authenticator app (TOTP) is required to access your workspace, from the first sign-in. There is no skip and no grace period. And it’s not just a login screen. The database only releases your data to a session that has cleared the second factor, so a stolen password alone can’t open your workspace. Resetting or deleting a workspace asks for your code again, every time.
Nightly backups, stored separately
A full snapshot of every workspace is written nightly to encrypted, private backup storage, stored separately from your live data and kept for the last 14 days, on top of our database provider’s managed backups. If something goes wrong, such as data deleted by mistake, it can be restored.
Export or erase your data on demand
Owners and admins can download a complete export of the workspace, any time. Anyone can delete their own account, self-serve, in My Account. If you are the workspace owner, you can delete your account once no other active members remain (others must leave or be removed first). Deleting it deletes the whole workspace: we first email you a full export (for very large workspaces, download the export in the app before you delete), and we stop the delete if that export can’t be saved. Then we permanently delete your workspace content and account and sign you out everywhere. If you are a member, the workspace stays. Your finished work keeps your name, and your open work stays with the team, marked so a teammate can pick it up, or you can hand it all to one person before you go. (Separately, encrypted operational backups may persist up to 30 days before they rotate out.) For fraud-prevention, legal, tax, and audit purposes we keep a minimal record of the deletion itself (the account email, name, workspace name, role, and the date it was deleted), and payment invoices are retained by our payment processor as the law requires.
Every privileged action is logged
Administrative actions are recorded in a log that app users can’t edit or delete. During an incident, we can pause actions that can’t be undone, such as deleting a workspace or resetting someone’s two-factor.
Our uptime is public. Watch it in real time on our live status page.
