Zinn is an Experimental kanban CLI and task manager for the terminal. Projects, columns and tasks live in a local SQLite database, and scripts and agents use the same commands with JSON output.

Get started

• Install: install, upgrade and uninstall the CLI and core library.
• Quick start: create a project, add a task, and move it through the board.

Reference

• CLI: project, task, label, relation, comment, and activity commands.
• Task blame: attribute a task’s fields and description lines to the edits that set them.
• Settings: choose a data directory and default project.
• Scripting and JSON: use JSON, discover commands, and handle confirmations.
• Hooks: run commands after Zinn saves a change.
• Data and backups: understand storage, backups, restores, and database upgrades.

System

• Core: the hearth that makes Zinn.
