A local kanban board, markdown notes and Git work that your coding agent can reach. Everything sits in SQLite on your own machine.

## What it does

Fjord is a desktop project manager that also ships a CLI and an MCP server. Running `fjord mcp` hands your agent 28 tools: it can add, edit, move and archive tasks, yet hard deletion stays out of reach. Every edit carries its author, so the activity log shows whether a change came from you or from the agent.

Projects, boards, attachments and Obsidian-style notes share one SQLite file. Notes link to each other and to tasks with `[[Project]]` or `[[#12]]`, and backlinks show where something was mentioned. Changes made through the CLI or by an agent land in the open app within a second or two. Search covers tasks, notes and file names. Git, GitHub and Azure DevOps are wired in too: a branch can start from a task, and a merged pull request moves that task to done.

Windows and macOS builds are compiled from the same source as the Linux one and run through CI on each pull request. Still, Linux is where Fjord gets developed and used daily, which matters if your machine runs something else. The project is at early preview, and a few Overview sections such as standup and Waiting on you stay off until you switch them on in Settings.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Install**
- The MCP registry has no launch command for it: see the repository README

## When to use it
- start a branch with a sensible name from a task
- keep project notes together with links between them
- see which pull requests are waiting on your review
- park a task until a client replies and track how long it waits
- pull Azure Boards work items in with their subtasks

## Example prompts
- Show me what's due this week in the Fjord project
- Add a task called Fix login to the In progress column
