Epiq is a self-hosted issue tracker that keeps project management close to a developer’s normal workflow.
It works from the terminal and also offers a browser interface, with project state stored locally as a Git-backed event log. The application is designed for repo-native issue tracking, offline use, collaboration through Git synchronization, and keyboard-driven navigation.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Tracks issues with names, descriptions, tags, assignees, comments, and history logs.
- Provides a terminal-native Kanban board with vim-inspired keyboard controls.
- Includes a browser GUI powered by the same Git-backed state engine.
- Supports filtering, autocompletion, command history, and a command palette.
- Offers MCP integration so compatible agents can interact with a local Epiq instance.
