Progressor

Progressor

1. You lose track of what's done, what's half-done and what's next, hopping between projects in your IDE and sessions in Claude Code or opencode.
2. Your AI forgets the plan the moment the chat's memory is compressed.
3. Your AI says "done" when it isn't, or quietly drifts off the plan.
4. There's nowhere to see your whole project at a glance, today or months from now.
5. A customer bug lands mid-feature, and the work you were doing gets lost in the scramble.

Progressor fixes all of them, for free. Your AI writes its plan into your project and keeps it up to date as it works, and you see every project on one beautiful page in your browser, instead of switching between projects in your IDE and sessions in Claude Code or opencode.

It works with any app that supports MCP (the standard way AI apps add tools): Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code with Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex and others.

Sound familiar?

Your AI lost the thread

• Vibe coding a project and can't keep track of what's going on anymore?

Your AI writes its plan, a goal made of steps, into your project and ticks each step off as it works. You see it live on one page in your browser, instead of hopping between projects in your IDE and sessions in your AI app: what it's doing right now, what's done and what's left.

• Your AI's memory got compressed, and your plan went with it?

Almost every AI app compresses long chats, and an AI that forgets the plan writes sloppy code and leaves bugs behind. Progressor keeps the plan in your project, not in the chat: say *"use Progressor"* and your AI carries on from the exact step it was on. Claude Code does it by itself.

• Switched from Claude Code to Cursor or Codex and lost everything?

The plan belongs to the project, not the app. Whichever AI app opens the project next reads the same plan and picks up where the last one stopped.

• Your AI wandered off the plan and didn't tell you?

It can't drift quietly. Every side trip is recorded with its reason and drawn as a branch off the plan's map, so you see where the work left the route, and why.

• Your AI says "done", but is it?

Each finished step is linked to its commits and the test run behind it. Anything only a person can check, like how it feels on your phone, waits for you with Works and Doesn't work buttons.

You're juggling too much

• Working on several projects at once and drowning in the micromanagement?

Home shows every project on one page: what needs you, what's being worked on and how far along it is, whichever AI app is doing the work.

• Walked away and missed the moment your AI needed you?

Questions, things to try and steps to check all wait in Needs you, and a free ntfy push can reach your phone the moment one arrives.

• A customer bug lands in the middle of a feature?

Paste it in as a Hotfix and it jumps the queue. Your AI finishes the step it's on, writes a test that shows the bug, then fixes it.

• A big decision, and you want a say?

Your AI lays out 2 to 4 ways to go as cards, with its pick marked. Choose one, or don't: it goes ahead with its pick, and you can still change course later.

• Your AI changed the plan and you want the old one back?

History keeps every change to the plan, by your AI or by you. Go back to before this undoes it, and the undo can be undone too.

• The dashboard dies the moment you close the chat?

Turn on the background dashboard and it stays up from the moment you log in, with no AI app open, in about 30 MB of memory.

Your project is in it for the long run

• Working on a project with long-term goals?

Goals can wait on other goals, even in another project. Every step gets an estimate, every goal a rough finish, and the Calendar shows what comes next and when. The estimates learn from how long steps really took, so they get better as you go.

• Release notes and weekly chores eating your evenings?

Your AI writes the changelog and the next version number from the goals it finished, and asks you before publishing anything. Chores like a weekly dependency check become goals that come back by themselves.

• Handing the project to someone else, or to yourself next week?

Your AI writes a handoff, a plain write-up of what was done and what's next, after each release or whenever you ask.

• Want a beautiful place to look up anything about your project?

Every step as a list or a map, a Dashboard of the numbers, a Calendar, search across all your projects, and four themes, from calm black and white to colourful.

What you get

Every step, live What the AI is working on is highlighted and moves; finished steps say when they were done. A side trip shows where the AI stepped off the plan, and why.

The plan as a map Each step is a stop on a line. Side trips branch off and rejoin, and steps they add join the route, so you can see how the plan changed.

It says when it needs you A question, a step to check, something to try on your phone: it all waits in Needs you , and you answer with a click. Your AI sees your answer at its next step.

Talk to your AI from the page Write to your AI about one goal or the whole project, and its replies show up under your messages. What you write stays on your computer, out of git.

A Dashboard of the numbers How long steps take against their estimates (and how the estimates are getting better), how often the work drifts, and what got done each day, for each project and for all of them on Home.

Rules your AI keeps "Always ask before adding a dependency." Lasting rules and the project's background live in Project notes . Add, change or remove them there, and your AI is told.

Every project on one page Home shows what needs you and what's being worked on across all your projects, in any app, with the numbers for all of them.

Light, dark or colourful Vibrant by default, with black text, or a calm black-and-white look in light or dark. See dark .

A calendar of the work What your AI finished each day, releases and handoffs, and ahead of today, the steps planned next and when each goal should be done.

Settings, all optional The look, pop-ups and phone notifications, and how your AI works, grouped on one page. Your AI runs the plan the same whether you ever open it or not.

Your progress is never lost

A compressed chat, a new chat or a different AI app never costs you your progress:

• Everything is saved in your project. The goals, every step and where each one stands, the side trips and why they happened, the decisions made along the way, notes, your rules and the project's background are kept in plain files in your project folder, not in the chat.
• Private, and yours. The plan is plain markdown files on your computer: nothing is sent anywhere, and it's kept out of git unless you ask your AI to share it (how). You can read every file, and delete them whenever you like.
• The same plan for you and the AI. What you see on the dashboard is what the AI reads, so you always know what's done, what's under way and what's waiting on you.
