Storybloq: A Project Tracker Living in Your Repo's .story/ Directory Now Has a Mac App
Storybloq is a project tracker designed for Claude Code workflows. It stores all project data — tickets, issues, roadmap phases, lessons, session handovers — as JSON and markdown inside a .story/ directory in your repo. The data is editable in any text editor, git-trackable, and exposed to Claude Code via a CLI and MCP server so that running /story at session start loads everything.
Mac App (Now on App Store)
The free Mac companion app (macOS 14+, Apple Silicon and Intel) provides a visual dashboard that watches .story/ while Claude works. It includes:
- Full backlog view: what's left, in progress, and next up
- Live kanban board that updates when Claude changes a ticket status
- Project timeline generated from session handovers
- Notes – view and edit for brainstorming
- Autonomous session statuses (if using the autonomous feature)
- Embedded Claude Code terminal in the same window
The app is sandboxed, signed by Apple, and auto-updates through the App Store.
Built with Claude Code
The entire project (Mac app in Swift/SwiftUI, CLI and MCP server in TypeScript) was written using Claude Code, with the project's own .story/ tracking every ticket and session handover across the build — roughly 580 tickets and 260 handovers so far. Claude wrote the code, ran review rounds with Codex through MCP, fixed findings, and submitted to the App Store.

Discussion: Inline Terminal vs Separate Window
The author notes that embedding the terminal next to the kanban board reduces the "wait, what was I doing?" moment when switching between projects, and invites feedback on layout preferences.
