Module ⟂ Milestone
Group tasks by sub-system or by phase — independently. A task belongs to both, and you flip between the two views with one toggle.

Project management that gets out of your way.
IndieWork is a calm, single-person tool for solo indie devs. No assignees, no notifications, no team ceremony — just your projects, two ways to group them, and an inbox for everything else.
Bring your own Postgres. docker compose upand it's yours.
How it works
Built around how a solo dev actually works.
Two independent axes instead of rigid folders. A frictionless inbox so ideas never block on triage. And a clear split between what's stuck now and what already happened.
Capture now, sort later
Dump an idea into the Inbox with zero required fields — from the web, a REST call, or an AI agent. Triage it into a project when you're ready.

cWhat's blocking ≠ what happened
A pinned status note always answers “where is this right now?”. The timelinebelow keeps the running log of what you've tried. Two different needs, never blurred together.
Current state
Waiting on the upstream API key before I can finish auth.
6/12 tried approach A — failed on rate limits
6/13 switched to a queue, looking better
One core, three front doors
Drive it from wherever you are.
Every surface calls the same service layer — so the web app, a shell script, and an AI agent all do exactly the same thing, consistently.
Web UI
A fast, keyboard-friendly app with a slide-in detail panel and command palette.
REST API
Create tasks from Telegram, your editor, or a cron job. POST /api/v1/tasks.
MCP server
Let an AI agent capture, update, and log progress in natural language.
Yours, end to end
Self-host it in a minute.
No accounts, no SaaS, no telemetry. One password guards the door; your data lives in your Postgres. MIT licensed — fork it, change it, ship it.
