Your issues live where your code lives.
quill.md is a purely client-side Open Source project manager that saves your tasks directly in your Git repository as Markdown files. Regain control of your data, avoid vendor lock-in, and manage your projects right from your browser.

# Description
Add dark mode support using CSS variables.
Fragmentation in code management
Development teams are often forced to split their workflow between their code editor and an external task manager (Jira, Linear, Trello). This results in siloed data on third-party platforms. If your code is the single source of truth for your product, your task management should reside there too.
quill.md: Markdown and Git-based architecture
quill.md is a pure web application (SPA) that runs entirely in the browser. We don't rely on intermediate servers, external databases, or telemetry systems.
Data Control
Issues are .md files. Information persists in the repository, making it independent of quill.md's existence.
Unified Context
Tasks evolve in the same Git history as the source code.
Privacy
Execution is client-side. No data ever leaves the user's browser environment.
Open Source
The source code is open source, allowing for security audits and community contributions.
Two Working Modes
Local Edit Mode
Direct access to a local folder via the File System Access API. 100% offline operation.
Remote Edit Mode
Direct integration with the GitHub or GitLab REST API. Changes generate commits in a dedicated `quill-md` branch isolated from `main`.
View Management
List View
Virtualized table for searching and filtering large volumes of issues.
Kanban View
Visual board with drag and drop support. Operations are batched (debounced) to optimize commit generation.
Gantt View
Visualization of timelines, dependencies, and relationships (parent/child, blockers).
Advanced
Git-Ops Customization
Support for custom templates defining fields in the Frontmatter. Configuration resides in the `.quill.md/` directory of the repository.
Structural Security
Personal Access Tokens (PAT) persist only in session memory (sessionStorage).
3-Step Workflow
Open the client
Access the web app from any supported modern browser.
Select the environment
Configure a local path or authenticate towards a remote GitHub/GitLab repository.
Manage tasks
Creations and edits are stored in standard Markdown format in the `.quill.md/issues/` directory of the selected repository.
Who is it for?
Independent Developers and Freelancers
Users looking for a functional and dependency-free alternative to complex tools.
