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.
Understand the connections between your issues, epics, and notes at a single glance.
Visualize your team's progress. Everything flows, even when you're not looking.
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 is a pure web application (SPA) that runs entirely in the browser. We don't rely on intermediate servers, external databases, or telemetry systems.
Issues are .md files. Information persists in the repository, making it independent of quill.md's existence.
Tasks evolve in the same Git history as the source code.
Execution is client-side. No data ever leaves the user's browser environment.
The source code is open source, allowing for security audits and community contributions.
Direct access to a local folder via the File System Access API. 100% offline operation.
Direct integration with the GitHub or GitLab REST API. Changes generate commits in a dedicated `quill-md` branch isolated from `main`.
Virtualized table for searching and filtering large volumes of issues.
Visual board with drag and drop support. Operations are batched (debounced) to optimize commit generation.
Visualization of timelines, dependencies, and relationships (parent/child, blockers).
Visual representation of connections and knowledge dependencies between different issues.
Support for custom templates defining fields in the Frontmatter. Configuration resides in the `.quill.md/` directory of the repository.
Personal Access Tokens (PAT) persist only in session memory (sessionStorage).
Access the web app from any supported modern browser.
Configure a local path or authenticate towards a remote GitHub/GitLab repository.
Creations and edits are stored in standard Markdown format in the `.quill.md/issues/` directory of the selected repository.
Users looking for a functional and dependency-free alternative to complex tools.
Projects that require keeping architectural and management discussions within the same source code.
Workgroups operating under a Git-Ops paradigm prioritizing structural simplicity.
quill.md is a purely client-side Open Source project manager that saves your tasks directly in your Git repository as Markdown files. It operates entirely in your browser without requiring external databases or servers.
It uses the File System Access API for local editing and the GitHub/GitLab REST API for remote environments. Your issues are stored as standard Markdown files with Frontmatter data in a dedicated `.quill.md/issues/` directory within your repository.
It is built for independent developers, Open Source maintainers, and small teams operating under a Git-Ops paradigm who want to keep project management tied directly to their codebase.
Yes. Since quill.md is a client-side application, your data never leaves your browser. Personal Access Tokens (PAT) are stored exclusively in temporary session memory (sessionStorage).
