Larch

Larch is a modern, cross-platform desktop client for Taiga.io, designed to streamline issue management across multiple projects. It acts as a "single pane of glass" for developers and managers who need to triage, track, and respond to issues without constantly switching context between different project URLs.

✨ Key Features (v2.1)

• Unified Dashboard: View and manage issues from multiple Taiga projects in a single, filterable interface.
• Saved Views: Define, persist, and switch between complex filter contexts instantly. Perfect for managing different workflows or clients.
• Intelligent Triage: Automatically filters for actionable issues by default, with a visual Dirty State indicator for unsaved filter changes.
• Advanced Issue Management: Two-column detail view for efficient editing, label management, attachments, and comment threading.
• Security First: API tokens are stored securely in your operating system's native keychain. Features automatic JWT Refresh for uninterrupted sessions.
• Cross-Platform: Native performance and look-and-feel on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

• Data Layer: SQLite with SeaORM for persistence and keyring-rs for secure credential storage.
