Your YouTube Video Planning Tool — From Idea to Publish in One Pipeline
Dojo is a Kanban-style production pipeline built specifically for YouTube creators. Track every video from first idea through scripting, editing, thumbnail creation, metadata, and publishing — all in one workspace.
Stop juggling Notion boards, Trello cards, Google Docs, and spreadsheets. Dojo keeps everything in one place and plugs directly into VidNinjas' AI tools.
