Every project's state, in your pocket.
Each of my projects keeps its own memory in git — what it is right now, what's queued, why it was built that way. Lode reads all of them at once and lets me groom the backlog from my phone.
Notes rot the moment you close the laptop
Every project I run keeps a written memory alongside the code: a current-state page, a backlog, a decision log. It works — but only at the desk. Each project is an island, so there's no way to see across them.
And the ideas never arrive at the desk. They arrive on a walk, on a bus, halfway through something else — and by the time there's a keyboard in front of me, they're gone.
One app over every project's memory
Lode reads the notes where they already live — in each project's own repo, in git, in plain markdown. No new format, no export step, no server in the middle. On the phone it's a capture box and a backlog you can actually reorder with your thumb. On the desktop it's every project's status on one screen.
How it works
Point it at your repos
Lode finds every project that keeps a notes folder and reads it straight from GitHub — or, on desktop, straight off the working copies on disk.
See everything at once
One card per project: what it looks like right now, how much is queued, and how long it's been since you last touched it.
Groom it from anywhere
Reorder the backlog, mark things done, archive what's dead, or drop a raw idea into the inbox. Changes commit back to the repo they came from.
What's inside
Every project on one screen
Status, backlog counts, and a staleness chip per project — so the one you've been quietly ignoring is obvious.
Capture before you lose it
A single box and a FILE IT button. The idea lands in the right project's inbox and waits there until you're at a desk.
A backlog you can actually move
Promote, demote, complete, archive — with your thumb. Every change is queued and committed back to git, and survives the app being killed mid-edit.
Git stays the source of truth
Lode doesn't own your notes and doesn't invent a schema. It reads and writes the same markdown files your editor does.
No backend of mine
The phone talks to GitHub directly. There's no Lode server holding your project notes, because there's no Lode server.
A desktop view too
A companion web surface reads the same vaults off local disk for the wide, everything-at-once view a phone can't give you.
