Issue Tracking Project Management

About MiniBug

MiniBug is a simple desktop issue tracker and to-do list application for Windows, written in C using Windows Forms. It is a single-user tool designed for managing tasks and tracking issues in small projects. Each project is stored in a JSON file rather than a database, making it easy to share projects across multiple computers via cloud storage services like Dropbox. Key features include the ability to create, edit, delete, and clone both issues and tasks. Users can show, hide, and sort columns in the grid view, including multi-column sorting with ascending or descending order through a dedicated Configure Columns window. The ID column is always visible, while other columns can be toggled as needed. MiniBug allows exporting issues and tasks to CSV format for reporting or further analysis. Issues and tasks are exported to separate files based on their distinct structures. Users can also customize the application's appearance via user-defined settings. The application requires Microsoft Windows 7 or later (unte

MiniBug - Issue Tracker and To-do List

MiniBug is a barebones, simple issue tracker and to-do list. It is a Windows desktop single-user application.

MiniBug main window

MiniBug does not use a database to store data: instead the application stores each project in a .json file. This means that if you need to work on projects, in different computers, you can share a MiniBug project between computers, by putting the .json file in something like Dropbox.

Features

  • Issues: create, edit, delete, clone
  • Tasks: create, edit, delete, clone
  • Show/hide/sort columns
  • Some user defined settings
  • Export issues and tasks to CSV format

Sample project

I've made a small sample project, with bugs and tasks copied from some applications' public bug trackers (Inkscape, Firefox, MariaDB and Kodi).

Download the file minibug-MiniBug Sample Project.json and open it in MiniBug.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Microsoft Windows 7 (maybe it works on older versions but I haven't tested)
  • Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1

How To Use

First you need to create a new project (File > New Project), define a project name and choose a location to save it:

New project window

Next you can start adding issues and tasks:

  • issues are bugs/problems
  • tasks are items in a to-do list

Issues

Edit issue

Tasks

Edit task

Settings

The user can modify some settings (File > Settings) in order to customize the look and feel of the application:

Settings in action:

Sorting

You can sort the grid rows in two ways:

  • by clicking on a column header:
Sort rows (first method)
  • by using the Configure Columns window:
Sort rows (second method)

Using the second method you can sort by up to two columns and with different criteria (ascending or descending).

Column visibility

You can show/hide any column (except the ID column, which is always visible), using the Configure Columns window:

Show/hide columns

Exporting

You can export a project's issues and tasks to CSV (comma separated values) files:

Export project

Because issues and tasks have a slightly different structure, they are exported to separate files. If a project only has issues or tasks, only one file will be generated:

Export project only with issues
