All your projects. One ranked deck.
Threlmark is a local-first hub that manages every project in one place and runs a scored, kanban-style roadmap for each. Your data is plain JSON on disk — so your other tools can read a roadmap and write suggestions straight back into it.
No cloud · no accounts · no database · your data never leaves your machine.
Four ideas, one deck
One hub for every roadmap
The ranked kanban you already love — generalized across all your projects, with the data open on disk.
Multi-project hub
Create, switch, and archive projects. A cross-project Portfolio ranks the top work everywhere by status-weighted priority.
Ranked kanban
Four lanes, drag-between-lanes, and a 1–5 score on impact, evidence, fit and effort that computes a single priority.
Inbox for suggestions
Other tools drop a JSON file; it appears in the Inbox. Pull in open GitHub issues too. Accept any of them into a roadmap item — or promote it into a different project.
Handoff briefs
Turn selected cards into a file-scoped Claude/Codex implementation prompt — with acceptance checkboxes and verification commands — or Markdown / JSON.
Cross-project links
Move items between projects, mark dependencies, or refactor duplicated work into one shared item used everywhere.
Open data on disk
Plain JSON under ~/.threlmark. Inspect it, back it up, sync it, and let any tool read or write it directly.
Flow, not just status
WIP limits, work-item age and stale flags, plus a Flow tab with throughput and cycle time — manage how work flows, not only where it sits.
Initiatives & bulk push
Tag cards with a label and it becomes a trackable initiative with live progress. Filter to it, Select filtered, and Push N → Development to move a whole theme at once. See how →
Agents close the loop
Hand off the whole Development lane to Claude or Codex in one click. The brief tells the agent to report back — a “done” report moves the card to Done by itself and records what was built. See the flow →
See which agents you can trust
A live runtime board shows each agent's honest state — active, idle, stalled or offline — with its current task, how long it's held the claim, throughput today and a reliability band drawn from real reports. When the work is risky, you know who to hand it to.
Import from anywhere
Bring an existing roadmap in three ways: the original roadmap.html, a Trello board export (lists become lanes), or GitHub issues. Re-importing updates instead of duplicating.
Dates, notes & decisions
Schedule a start and a due date — overdue cards get flagged. Add comments and decision records to any item, and read a derived activity timeline of everything that happened to it.
Insights: risks & forecasts
A live risk register (overdue, stale, WIP breaches, stalled handoffs, bottlenecks — each with a suggested action) plus a Monte Carlo completion forecast from your real throughput. Per project and across the whole portfolio.
See the whole plan, not just lanes
Every open item lands on a time axis with dependency arrows, the critical chain picked out and a P50/P85 forecast band — no manual scheduling. A companion graph view shows what blocks what across projects and lints for cycles, dangling links and blocked-by-done. Export either as SVG or JSON.
Built for every vertical
Start a project from a vertical template — software, marketing & content, business ops, research & trading, compliance — or define your own categories. Saved views keep each team's slice of the board one click away.
MCP, webhooks & automations
A built-in MCP server gives agents the whole board as native tools — read the plan, move cards, report back, propose work into the Inbox. Webhooks and simple rules let every event drive the rest of your stack.
Signals flow in, not just out
Webhooks already push events out — now GitHub, CI and Slack push back in. A merged PR becomes a “done” report, a fresh issue lands in the Inbox, a red build becomes a blocked card. The board stops being something you update and starts updating itself.
Plan my day & weekly digest
One risk-aware queue across every project tells you what to do next — and says why. At week's end, a generated digest shows what shipped, what started, what's at risk, and when the rest will land.
⌘K everything & snapshots
A command palette searches items, decisions and outcomes across all projects and jumps straight to the card. Need to share? Export any board as a single read-only HTML file — no app required.
Disk is the source of truth
The layout on disk is the contract. The app and your other tools share one path to the same files.
Score & rank
Add cards, score them on four axes, and let Threlmark compute priority and float in-flight work to the top.
Interoperate
Each project is a folder of JSON files. Another app reads the roadmap or drops a suggestions/*.json with a single write.
Hand off & auto-close
Export a precise brief for Claude or Codex. The agent builds it and reports back — a “done” report moves the card to Done by itself.
Works with IdeaClyst
Because the disk layout is a shared contract, other local-first tools plug straight in. IdeaClyst — an idea engine — is the first.
Reads your roadmap
IdeaClyst reads a project's roadmap (read-only) and finds the gaps — which categories and lanes are thin.
Writes back suggestions
It proposes scored Features, Spin-offs and Services — grounded in live web research — straight into your project's Inbox.
You close the loop
Accept & rank it, hand it to an agent, it ships and reports back to Done. The shrinking gaps shape what IdeaClyst proposes next.
Local-first, and yours
No cloud, no accounts, no secrets. Threlmark runs on your machine and keeps every roadmap as plain JSON you control — readable, portable, and crash-safe. Light or dark, your call.
