Backlog.md is a CLI tool for managing project collaboration between humans and AI Agents in a git ecosystem - 100% offline tasks in your repo, optimized for AI Agents using Markdown files. Think Kanban but in your terminal. No MCP, no database, no hosting needed. Works on Mac, Windows and Linux!
Description
Backlog.md began as a way to tackle side projects with AI Agents like Claude‑Code, OpenAI Codex, and Google Jules. Today it’s a lightweight project‑management tool for solo devs and small teams.
Because each task is just a Markdown file in the repo, an agent can ingest the spec, understand full project context, and start implementing without any extra APIs or MCP servers required.
