$ LazyArchon

|Terminal task management, local-first, with MCP for Claude

A lazygit-style TUI for your tasks — and an MCP server for Claude — both working on the same local SQLite database. No server, no account: the first run creates everything it needs. Prefer an existing tracker? Point it at Gitea, Vikunja or an Archon backend.

Local-First by Default

Your tasks live in a local SQLite database. No server to run, no account to create — the first launch seeds an Inbox project and you are off.

An MCP Server for Claude

Run lazyarchon mcp and Claude can list projects, create and update tasks, and mark them done — on the same database the TUI uses.
