The problem

Your work is spread across a dozen folders, three terminals, two editors and a notes app. Which branch were you on? What was left to do? How long did that take? BluePhoenix puts the answers on one dashboard.

Everything per project

A cockpit for every folder.

Git, commands, tasks, notes, files and time, all one click from the dashboard.

Real git state, not a guess

The branch your folder is on right now, and whether it is clean, ahead, behind, diverged or in conflict. Fetch, pull, push and stash straight from the card.

Not just code

Track a university course, research or a design job with no folder at all. You still get to-dos, notes and time. And the Files tab lets you search and open anything in a real project.

How it fits

From “where was I?” to shipped.

Four steps, none of them a ritual. BluePhoenix stays out of the way until you need an answer.

  1. 01

    Point it at a folder

    BluePhoenix reads the project: name, type, GitHub address and the commands it can run, from package.json scripts to Cargo, Makefile, Go, Gradle and more.

  2. 02

    See the truth at a glance

    Each card shows the branch your folder is on right now and whether it is clean, ahead, behind, diverged or in conflict. It refreshes when you return to the window.

  3. 03

    Run it, open it, ship it

    One click builds or starts the dev server. One more opens the folder in your editor or terminal. Fetch, pull and push never leave the card.

  4. 04

    Keep the plan next to the code

    To-dos, Markdown notes and one-click time logging live inside every project, so “what was I doing here?” always has an answer.

Keyboard first

Do anything from ⌘K

Jump to a project, push the branch you are on, log half an hour, open a terminal or flip the theme. Type, hit Enter, done.

iPhone companion

Your projects, on your phone. Your database, your data.

Sync uses a PostgreSQL database that you own. Neon’s free plan works great, and so does Supabase, Railway or your own server. Nobody else ever sees your projects.

Syncs every minute
Plus a Sync now button, and a pull-to-refresh on iPhone.
Works offline
Edit on the train. Changes sync when you are back online.
Most recent change wins
Edit on two devices and the newest edit is kept. Deletes sync everywhere.
Connection in your keychain
The connection string is never stored in plain data files.

Native-fast

Built with Tauri and Rust. Small, quick to open, light on memory.

Frosted glass, your colours

Follows system light or dark, with five accent pairs. Real vibrancy on macOS and Windows.

Private by design

Local database, keychain secrets and no telemetry of your projects. Files on disk are never touched.

FAQ

Good questions.

More in the troubleshooting guide.

Does BluePhoenix touch my files?

No. It reads your folders and runs git and your own commands on your behalf. Removing a project only deletes BluePhoenix’s records, never anything on disk.

Where is my data stored?

In a local database on your computer. API keys and your sync database address go into the system keychain. Nothing is sent anywhere until you press an AI button or turn on sync.

Is it free?

Yes. Download it from this site and use it. The installers are not signed with a paid certificate yet, so your system may ask you to confirm the first launch.

Do I need AI to use it?

No. AI is entirely optional. Without it you still get git state, commands, to-dos, notes, time tracking and the command palette.

Which systems are supported?

macOS 11+, Windows 10+ and Linux (AppImage and .deb). There is also an iPhone companion that syncs through your own database.
