A retrospective tool for teams that want to get better
Capture thoughts throughout the sprint. Reflect together. Turn insights into action.
01 During the sprint
A thought takes ten seconds to write on Tuesday and is gone by Friday. Muni keeps a quiet place open all sprint — on your phone, between tasks, in your own words.
02 Sealed
Not the facilitator, not your manager. Until collection closes, the only thoughts you can see are your own — and you can still change them.
03 Opening the sprint
Everything is revealed at once, shuffled. Shared screens never show who wrote a thought, when it was written, or anything that ties one person’s thoughts together.
04 Discover
Grouped by meaning, not keywords — with an optional AI draft the facilitator edits. The original words are never replaced. Votes are private until the round closes.
05 The retro
The shared screen puts what people wrote at the centre — not a summary of it. Voices are invited one at a time, and the room moves at the pace of the conversation.
Topic 1 of 3
PR review turnaround
What would make a first review arrive within a day without making reviews shallower?
PRs sat waiting for review for two or three days. I stopped opening small PRs because it wasn’t worth the wait.
Might help: a daily 15-minute review window?
Reviews: I actually liked that reviews were slower this sprint — the comments were more thoughtful than the usual rubber stamp.
The retro experiment (daily review window) helped: my two PRs were reviewed the same day.
The daily review window didn’t change much for me — reviews still waited until someone had slack.
Try a ‘review buddy’ pairing for the sprint so every PR has a named first reviewer.
Invitations follow who is present and ready — never who wrote what. Passing is one tap, and it’s immediate.
Follow the stage, vote privately, add context to a topic, or step out of the rotation.
Opposing views sit side by side in their own words. Nothing is averaged into a paragraph.
06 Decide
One to three concrete changes. Each has an owner who says yes, a signal that it helped, and a date to look back.
TakeawayReviews wait because nobody owns the first look.
Experiment
For the next sprint, reserve a 15-minute daily review window right after standup.
07 Next sprint
Reserve a 15-minute daily review window right after standup.
“Most PRs got a same-day first pass. Bigger PRs still waited.”
Write the sprint goal as one sentence at the end of planning and pin it.
“We wrote it, but planning overran and nobody looked at it again.”
Honest outcomes, including the ones that didn’t work. That’s the difference between a team that meets and a team that learns.
The privacy promise, exactly
Your identity is verified to access each sprint. Your entries and votes are shown without your identity to teammates and facilitators. The service operator may technically be able to associate activity with accounts. Your wording can still reveal who you are.
We’d rather be precise than reassuring.
Stage, preparation view and exports never show who wrote an entry, who voted for what, or when something was submitted.
Sees nothing during collection except their own entries. Afterwards: everyone’s entries, anonymously, and who is present.
Muni stores who saved each entry so only you can edit it. There’s no button to join those records. This is application-level anonymity, not cryptography.
Decided before collection starts. Entry text goes to the provider to draft themes — never names, emails, attendance or authorship.

From muni-muni: to reflect; to turn something over in your mind until you understand it a little better.
A moment to reflect. A chance to improve.
