boardown A local-first task board that stores its data as plain markdown files inside your project's git repo. Releases, epics and tasks live in next to your code, so they version, branch and diff with the rest of the project — no cloud, no server, no account. boardown ships as a VS Code extension that reads from the open workspace and a standalone desktop app (Windows / macOS / Linux) that opens any project folder — both reuse the same board UI and read the same markdown files. A headless CLI () rounds it out for scripts and AI agents, driving the same files from the command line.
