Beware: this project is in a VERY early state and I would not recommend using it yet for an actual project. You may lose all data.
banFlow is a desktop Electron application that combines project management with integrated time tracking. It's designed to be an all-in-one solution for individuals who want to manage their tasks, track time, and maintain documentation without needing separate tools like a Kanban board and Excel spreadsheets.

- Visual workflow management: Move tasks between columns to track progress
- Built-in timer for each task
- Granular time tracking: Track time spent on individual tasks
- Time analytics and reporting: View time spent across projects, tasks, and sessions
- Session tracking: Monitor work sessions with start/stop functionality

- Time forecasting: Predict future time requirements based on historical data
- Session statistics: Average session duration, longest/shortest sessions
- Activity heatmaps: Visual representation of work activity over time
- Spreadsheet View (SheetPage): Tabular data view for structured information
- Chart View: Visual data representation and graphing
- Iterations: Sprint/iteration tracking for agile workflows
- Tags: Categorize and filter tasks using tags
- Metadata Management: Custom fields and properties for tasks and projects
- Timer View: Standalone timer interface for focused work sessions
- Game Mode: Gamification features to make work more engaging
- Frontend: React with Ant Design UI components
- Backend: Electron main process with IPC (Inter-Process Communication)
- Data Storage: LokiJS (in-memory database) for local data persistence
- File Handling: Custom services for Git operations, Aseprite files, images, etc.
- Build System: Webpack with TypeScript support
- State Management: React component state with IPC for main/renderer communication
banFlow is designed for:
- Individual developers who want to track time on tasks
- Small teams needing project management without external tools
- Anyone who wants a unified solution combining:
- Task management (Kanban)
- Time tracking
- Project documentation
- Git workflow integration
- Analytics and reporting
- Integrated Time Tracking: Unlike separate Kanban boards, banFlow tracks time directly on tasks
