Larch

Larch is a modern, cross-platform desktop client for Taiga.io, designed to streamline issue management across multiple projects. It acts as a "single pane of glass" for developers and managers who need to triage, track, and respond to issues without constantly switching context between different project URLs.

✨ Key Features (v1.0)

• Unified Dashboard: View issues from multiple projects in a single, filterable table.
• Intelligent Triage: Automatically filters for actionable (Open) issues by default.
• Advanced Filtering: Filter by Status, Project, and Assignee with powerful "Include/Exclude" logic.
• Offline Drafts: Descriptions and comments are auto-saved locally. Never lose your work if the internet drops.
• Conflict Resolution: Detects if an issue has been modified by someone else before you save, preventing accidental overwrites.
• Cross-Platform: Native support for Linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora), Windows, and macOS.
• Secure: API tokens are stored securely in your operating system's native keychain.
