About Waypoint

Changing jobs is a project. Waypoint is the plan.

Leaving a company well and starting somewhere new both come with a long tail of details, and most of them are only obvious once you have missed one. Waypoint keeps those details in one place, organised by when you need to think about them.

Start your plan

Four phases, in the order they happen

Each phase carries its own checklist, its own progress, and its own notes. You move between them as your move progresses.

  1. 01

    Before leaving

    Protect what you have earned. Vesting dates, unused benefits, records you are allowed to keep, a clean handoff, and how you want to tell people.

  2. 02

    Before joining

    Clear the paperwork early so day one is not spent on admin. Offer details, screening, benefit choices, equipment, and a little room to breathe.

  3. 03

    After joining

    Turn a busy first month into momentum. Access and security setup, what good looks like at 30 days, who to meet, and enrolment deadlines.

  4. 04

    Ongoing

    Keep a light record of what you shipped, what you learned and what you want next, while the details are still fresh.

What you get

  • A checklist that bends to you

    Start from a researched list, then add, delete, reorder and rename anything. Add your own phases when four is not the right shape.

  • Dates that chase you

    Give a task a due date and Waypoint flags it as due soon or overdue, so a vesting date does not slip past unnoticed.

  • Share read-only

    Send a mentor or partner a read-only view by email address. They can never edit it, and you can revoke access instantly.

  • Yours to take

    Export the whole plan as Markdown, or print it as a PDF. No lock-in, no export tier.

  • Works offline

    Edit on a train. Changes queue locally and sync when the connection comes back.

  • Private by default

    Access is enforced by server-side rules, not by the app in your browser. Nobody else can read your plan unless you share it.

Being straight with you

Waypoint is free and has no paid tier, no trial and no billing. It is an independent personal project, not a company, and it runs on a free hosting tier.

That means two honest caveats. Availability is not guaranteed, so export anything you cannot afford to lose. And nothing in a checklist is legal, financial or employment advice — your contract and a qualified professional beat a generic list every time.

Who makes this

Debajyoti Saikia

Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft

I build AI-powered products, and Waypoint came out of wanting a single place to keep the details of a job change instead of scattering them across notes and calendar reminders. It is a personal project, built and run on my own time.
