kadence

Kadence offers a unique approach to project tracking by storing task history and time spent directly within your Git repository as an append-only journal. Key capabilities include: * Git-native task management * Append-only event journal for all changes * Terminal-based viewing for human teams * JSON output for programmatic access * No server, account, or network required This tool is built for development teams who experience state drift and merge conflicts with traditional task management systems. By using an event-based model, Kadence ensures that your project board and velocity metrics are always derived from an immutable record. Each task event is stored as a JSON file, preserving a complete, unedited, and undeleted history of work. Kadence fosters a shared context for collaborative environments, allowing both human developers and programmatic agents to operate from the exact same source of truth. This eliminates discrepancies and ensures consistent understanding across all contributors. Its lightweight, serverless design means instant startup and no external dependencies, integrating seamlessly into existing Git-based workflows. Ideal for engineering teams focused on maintaining high data integrity and efficient codebases, especially those working with advanced scripting or automated development processes. It helps maintain a clear, auditable trail of all project activities, ensuring that every session builds reliably on the last.
