AI-native issue tracking

Tell your coding assistant what to track. It handles the rest. Issues stored as markdown — no database, no accounts.

Just talk naturally

>

“Create a bug for the login redirect issue, high priority”

>

“What issues are open?”

>

“Close the auth bug, it's fixed”

>

“What should I work on next?”

Your AI assistant creates, searches, updates, and closes issues for you.

Why Markdown?

Issues stored as plain markdown files. No database, no vendor lock-in, no accounts.

Portable

No vendor lock-in, no database, no accounts. Your issues are just files.

Git-native

Issues travel with your code. They appear in diffs, PRs, and branches.

Transparent

AI agents read and write issues directly. No API wrappers or abstractions.

Works offline

No network dependency. Issues are local files that work anywhere.

Everything you need

A complete issue tracking system designed for AI-assisted workflows.
