LazyArchon is a powerful, dedicated Terminal User Interface (TUI) for Archon (
https://github.com/coleam00/Archon). If you use Archon to manage your projects and tasks, you know the power of its backend, but often a browser is overkill for simple, focused work.
LazyArchon solves this by providing a lightning-fast, terminal-native client that allows you to manage your Archon tasks without ever leaving your IDE or command line.
Key Features & Design
Dedicated Archon Client: Seamlessly connects to your self-hosted Archon instance (e.g., on localhost:8181). It's built specifically to interface with Archon's projects, tasks, statuses, and features.
Focused Workflow: Built with developers in mind. Zero distractions and a minimal interface to keep you in the flow state—no browser tabs, no notifications.
Vim-like Navigation: Navigate between panels, projects, and tasks instantly using intuitive h/l/j/kkeyboard shortcuts. It feels like a natural extension of your terminal environment.
Efficient Task Management: Use simple key presses to manage task status (Todo, Doing, Review, Done) and assign features to tasks.
Tech Stack: Written in Go and leveraging the excellent Bubble Tea TUI framework for a single, cross-platform binary (Linux, macOS, Windows).
Important Context & Current Limitations
LazyArchon is an early-stage tool focused on efficient consumption and update of Archon data.
It requires a running Archon API server. LazyArchon is the client; Archon is the project database/backend.
Current functionality: It excels at browsing, filtering, and rapidly updating task statuses.
What's next: We are prioritizing adding task creation forms, advanced editing, and a robust configuration system in the immediate future.
