Manage tasks with markdown + boards — runs on your terms.·fira.onix.team

Fira is an open-source, file-backed Kanban project management tool built for development teams. Tasks are stored as markdown files with YAML frontmatter that live alongside your code and sync through Git. It works entirely offline, needs no accounts or databases, and can run locally in the browser, via a local Python server, in Docker, or through one-click deployment on cloud platforms.
