The developer's capture layer

Your work, captured
at the speed of thought

Vistacker is a blazing-fast, offline-first capture layer for developer work — tasks, notes, ideas, and logs — with vi-style keybindings, instant multi-device sync, and an iOS app for when you're away from the terminal.

Core features

Built for how developers work

No bloated UI, no mouse required. Just a lean, fast tool that stays out of your way and keeps everything in sync everywhere.

Blazing Fast

Native Go backend with SQLite on-device. Operations complete in microseconds. No spinners, no lag, no waiting.

🔄

Instant Sync

Changes propagate to all your devices in under a second via persistent gRPC streams. Push a task from your laptop, see it on your phone before your hand leaves the keyboard.

🔌

Disconnected-First

No internet? No problem. Vistacker is fully functional offline. Every change is queued and synced automatically the moment connectivity returns — zero data loss.

📱

iOS App

Native SwiftUI app for capturing anything on the go. Syncs with your vaults. Jot a thought on your commute, find it waiting at your desk.

⌨️

Vi-Style Navigation

Move through items with j/k, jump stacks, mark done, append notes — all without leaving the keyboard. Muscle memory welcome.

📝

Notes & Logs

Attach rich context to any item — a note for background, a log entry to record progress. Both support full Markdown, so your thoughts render beautifully in the browser view and on iOS, not just in the terminal.

🏦

Vault Isolation

Organize work into separate Vaults — personal, client, side-project, or a shared family list. Each vault is independent with its own stacks and permission scope.

🛡️

Privacy by Design

Your data lives on your device. Sync traffic is encrypted end-to-end over TLS. Optionally enable client-side AES-256 encryption so everything you capture is encrypted before it ever leaves your machine — the server never sees plaintext.

🔑

One-Click Auth

Sign in with your existing GitHub, Google, or Apple account. No new passwords to manage. OAuth 2.0 all the way down.

🖨️

Browser View

Open any vault in your local web browser for a clean, readable view of your stacks, tasks, notes, and logs. Perfect for printing a project snapshot, sharing a quick status overview, or reviewing a log without leaving your desk.

🔩

Engineer First

Every decision — from the gRPC sync protocol to the TUI layout — is optimized for developer workflows. No feature bloat, no project management theater.

Experimental

AI-Powered Planning

Describe a project in plain language and let your favorite LLM — Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, or any compatible model — turn it into a complete task breakdown: stacks named, tasks ordered, notes drafted. Stop staring at a blank board; start with a plan that's already halfway done.

How it works

Zero to productive in 60 seconds

No config files, no setup wizards. Install, sign in, start capturing.

01

Create a free account

Sign up with GitHub, Google, or Apple — no form filling. Your first vault is ready immediately, with a default Backlog → In Progress → Done stack layout.

02

Install the terminal app (or grab the iOS app)

One binary, no dependencies. Drop it on your $PATH and run vistacker. The TUI launches, fetches your vault, and is ready for input.

03

Capture tasks, notes, and ideas — never lose them

Use vi keys to navigate, press a to add, m to move between stacks, d to mark done. Every change syncs to your other devices automatically.

04

Add more vaults as you grow

Spin up new vaults for different projects, clients, or contexts. Upgrade to Pro when you need more than one vault.
