tracker

Single-binary project tracker with a Hackerman/terminal aesthetic. Go + SQLite, server-rendered — no runtime dependencies, no build step, no JS.

Features

Auth required — username/passphrase login (bcrypt), server-side sessions
API keys for remote/CLI access, managed from the web UI
Full JSON API under /api/v1/
Projects with name + description
Notes per project, searchable via the global grep the grid… bar
Tasks per project with todo → doing → done cycling (click the badge)
Global search across project names, descriptions, notes, and task titles
SQLite storage, WAL mode, everything in one file

Setup

go build -o tracker .
./tracker -adduser kyle        # prompts for a passphrase (min 8 chars)
./tracker

Non-interactive variant: TRACKER_PASSWORD=... ./tracker -adduser kyle.

Defaults: listens on :8420 (all interfaces, so it's reachable over Tailscale), database at ~/.local/share/tracker/tracker.db.

./tracker -addr :9000 -db /path/to/tracker.db

API keys

Log in, go to keys, generate a key. It's shown once (only a SHA-256 hash is stored). Keys grant full API access and track last-used time; revoke anytime.

API
