+ any MCP client You describe the feature. The agent runs the board.
Connect your agent once. From then on it keeps the board true as it works, without you dragging a single card.
write_plan · add_tasks
The plan becomes tasks
Ask your agent to plan a feature. It writes the plan into Hatchlog and breaks it into tasks with priorities and acceptance criteria.
Plan: Search v1 6 tasks
Index every note P0
Highlight matches P1
next_task
It picks up the right work
Every session starts by asking for the next task. Highest priority first, and claimed, so two sessions never take the same card.
LUM-31 → In progress claimed
skips blocked tasks
null when Todo is empty
update_task · report_bug
It reports back as it goes
Criteria get checked, files and commits get attached, and bugs it trips over land in Bugs. Then the card moves to review.

And a proper Mac app for you.
Native, fast to open, keyboard first, light and dark. Everything the agent writes is there to read, search and hand back.
board · list · plans · bugs
Four ways to look at a project
A board for flow, a list for triage, plans as documents, and bugs kept apart from features.
⌘K
Jump to anything
Full-text search across tasks, plans and notes in every project.
copy as prompt
Hand a task back
One click turns a task, its criteria and notes into a prompt for any agent.
overview
Where the project stands
Burn-up, who closed the work, cycle time and milestones. 7 days, 30 days or all time.
history
Every change, attributed
Which agent moved what, checked which criterion, and when. Commits and branches on the task.
live
Updates as agents work
Cards move the moment an agent calls a tool. No refresh, even with three agents at once.
backlog
Ideas stay out of the way
Quick-add sends ideas to Backlog, so agents only pick from what you promoted to Todo.
undo · trash
Mistakes are cheap
Undo anything with ⌘Z. Deleted tasks and projects wait in Trash for 30 days.
token tracking · claude code
See what every feature cost you to build.
Every task shows the tokens your agent spent on it and what that would cost at API prices. So does every plan, and the whole project.

Your board lives on your Mac. That's the whole architecture.
No account, no cloud. Your projects stay on your Mac and your agents connect to it right there. This is everything that leaves your Mac:
| data | leaves your Mac |
|---|---|
| Projects and tasks | Never |
| Token counts | Never |
| Prompts and code | Never read into Hatchlog |
| Licence key | For a periodic licence check |
| App version | For update checks |
Pay once. Earlier is cheaper.

Questions
Do I need Claude Code to use it?
No. Any agent that speaks MCP works, and you can run the board by hand. Token tracking is the one feature that needs Claude Code today.
Does anything leave my Mac?
Your projects and tasks never do. The app checks its licence now and then and looks for updates. That is all.
Why no free trial?
You get a 7-day refund instead, no questions asked.
What does "API-equivalent cost" mean on a subscription?
What the tokens would cost at Anthropic API prices. On a Claude plan you are not billed this, but it is the honest way to compare tasks.
Can two agents work at once?
Yes. Each task goes to one agent at a time, so parallel sessions never pick the same card.
Which macOS versions?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple Silicon and Intel.
