Banco Management System, or simply Banco, is an opinionated project management tool for the command line that helps you organize notes, tasks, bookmarks and documents for your projects.
Everything is stored as plain text files and folders — no database, no server. This makes it easy to back up, move around, use with standard CLI tools, and keep under version control.
Installation
Requires Rust.
cargo install --path .Concepts
Items (notes, tasks, bookmarks, repos) are grouped into modules and backed by providers.
The built-in local provider stores everything on disk with no external dependencies. Remote
providers (GitHub, GitLab) sync issues as tasks and clone repositories via SSH. The JIRA provider
fetches issues via the claude CLI and the Atlassian Rovo MCP server — no API token required.
Provider configuration lives in .banco/config.yml. String values support $ENV_VAR expansion
so tokens are never stored in plain text.
