Your history lives on someone else's servers

GitHub had 119 incidents in 2024 alone. When the status page goes red, everything you've written down goes with it — unless it also lives on your own infrastructure.

Lars Artmann, Founder and CEO of Issue Shield

A Note from the Founder

Hey, I'm Lars. I built this after losing 2 years of issues during a GitHub outage in 2023.

The pain was real. Have you ever tried to export GitHub issues? No built-in export, clunky APIs, rate limits everywhere. I spent days writing scripts just to get my data out in a readable format. And that's if GitHub is even accessible.

I searched everywhere for a simple backup solution. Everything was either enterprise-complex or hosted on AWS (same infrastructure as half the internet). So I built what I needed: dead-simple, real-time backups to infrastructure that won't fail when GitHub does.

This isn't some VC-funded moon shot. It's a simple tool that does one thing well: keeps your issues safe. I just want to help people who've faced the same frustrations I did. No feature creep, no enterprise upsells, just reliable backups for $7.36/month per organization.

If you have questions, email me directly at lars@issue-shield.com. I actually read and respond to every email (crazy, right?).

Ship fast, backup faster.
