The Creative Cockpit for Vibe Coders / 为 Vibe Coder 打造的创意驾驶舱
You have 5 projects in progress — but do you remember where each one stands? 你有 5 个进行中的项目，但你记得每个都走到哪了吗？
DriftLog is a macOS Menu Bar App built for solo developers juggling multiple projects at once.
It's not Linear, not Notion, not GitHub Issues. It's lighter, faster, always within reach — press Cmd+Shift+D, glance at it, see where every project stands, then get back to coding.
"Like a co-pilot. It doesn't drive, but it keeps you from taking the wrong turn."
DriftLog's entire world has just three things:
A Stamp is a task, like "Finish login system", "Deploy to prod", or "Finalize UI design". Give it a name and a color, and it's alive.
The magic of Stamps is cross-project reuse. You never have to redefine "Integrate API", "Write tests", or "Ship it" for every new project — just pull them from your library.
A Project is a group of Stamps arranged in sequence. Stack them like blocks and your project roadmap appears.
Finished a task? Mark that Stamp as done — that's a Commit. Add a note to log decisions made or pitfalls avoided. The progress bar updates automatically.
| Tool | The Problem |
|---|---|
| Linear / Jira | Just opening it takes 30 seconds, and you don't need Sprint Planning |
| Notion | Too freeform — you'll spend more time "designing the system" than using it |
| GitHub Issues | Requires a Git workflow, not intuitive enough |
| Your brain | Starts failing after 3 projects |
DriftLog has one design principle: open to insight in under 3 seconds.
- Menu Bar resident — always visible, never intrudes on your workspace
- Global shortcut
Cmd+Shift+D— summon and dismiss anytime - Project progress snapshot — see completion percentage and current task at a glance
- Stamp library — create reusable task stamps with custom names and colors
- Drag-to-reorder — drag stamps to rearrange task order, works by feel
- Commit log — mark done + optional note, progress updates live
- Local database — data lives in local SQLite, no account, no subscription, no cloud
- macOS 12+
- Node.js 18+
# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/your-username/driftlog.git
cd driftlog
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start the dev server
npm run dev# Build .dmg installer
npm run distOutput is in the dist/ directory.
Step 1: Build your Stamp library
Go to the Stamps page and spend 30 seconds creating a few stamps for your common tasks. Pick colors freely — but grouping similar tasks by color helps, e.g. green for "ship" tasks, orange for "design" tasks.
Step 2: Create a project, wire up the workflow
When creating a project, pick the stamps you need from your library and drag them into order. A clear task roadmap appears instantly.
Step 3: Start moving, Commit as you go
Write code, do design, integrate APIs. Finish a task — open DriftLog, mark the stamp done, jot two lines of notes.
That's it.
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Framework | Electron 33 + electron-vite |
| Renderer | React 18 + TypeScript |
| State | Zustand |
| Database | better-sqlite3 (local SQLite) |
| Styling | Tailwind CSS |
| Drag & Drop | @dnd-kit |
Database file lives at ~/Library/Application Support/driftlog/driftlog.db — fully local, your data belongs to you.
| Version | Key Features | Status |
|---|---|---|
| v0.1 (MVP) | Stamp system + Menu Bar + Commit log + Drag reorder | Done |
| v2 | AI task decomposition + Git auto-sync | Planned |
| v3 | Commit history timeline + data insights | Planned |
v2 core bet: when you describe a new project, AI auto-breaks it into a set of stamps — eliminating the last bit of friction in bootstrapping a workflow.

DriftLog 是一个 macOS Menu Bar App，专门为同时推进多个项目的个人开发者而造。
它不是 Linear，不是 Notion，也不是 GitHub Issues。它更轻，更快，更随手可得——按下 Cmd+Shift+D，瞥一眼，知道你的每个项目走到哪了，然后继续写代码。
"就像副驾驶。它不开车，但它让你不会开错路。"
DriftLog 的整个世界只有三个东西：
一张 Stamp 就是一个任务，比如「完成登录系统」、「部署上线」、「UI 设计定稿」。你给它取个名字、选个颜色，它就活了。
Stamp 的精髓在于跨项目复用。你不需要为每个新项目从零开始定义「接入 API」「写测试」「上线部署」——从便签库里拖出来就行。
一个 Project 就是一组按顺序排列的 Stamp。搭积木一样把便签拼起来，你的项目路线图就出现了。
完成一个任务？把那张便签标记为完成，就是一次 Commit。可以附上备注，记录你踩过的坑、做过的决策。进度条会自动更新。
| 工具 | 问题所在 |
|---|---|
| Linear / Jira | 打开它本身就要花 30 秒，而且你不需要 Sprint Planning |
| Notion | 太自由了，你会花更多时间"设计系统"而不是用它 |
| GitHub Issues | 需要 Git 工作流，不够直觉 |
| 脑子记 | 超过 3 个项目就开始出错 |
DriftLog 的设计原则只有一条：打开到获取信息，不超过 3 秒。
- Menu Bar 常驻 — 始终可见，不打扰主工作区
- 全局快捷键
Cmd+Shift+D— 随时唤出，随时收起 - 项目进度快照 — 一眼看到每个项目的完成百分比和当前任务
- 便签库 — 创建可跨项目复用的任务便签，支持自定义名称和颜色
- 拖拽排序 — 拖动便签调整任务顺序，直觉操作
- Commit 记录 — 标记完成 + 可选备注，进度实时更新
- 本地数据库 — 数据存在本地 SQLite，没有账户，没有订阅，没有云
- macOS 12+
- Node.js 18+
# 克隆项目
git clone https://github.com/your-username/driftlog.git
cd driftlog
# 安装依赖
npm install
# 启动开发服务器
npm run dev# 构建 .dmg 安装包
npm run dist构建产物在 dist/ 目录下。
第一步：创建你的便签库
进入 Stamps 页面，花 30 秒创建几张你常用的任务便签。颜色随意——但建议同类任务用同一种颜色，比如绿色代表「上线类」、橙色代表「设计类」。
第二步：新建项目，拼接工作流
创建项目时，从便签库里选出这个项目需要的便签，拖拽排好顺序。一个清晰的任务路线图就出现了。
第三步：开始推进，随时 Commit
写代码，做设计，接 API。完成了一个任务，打开 DriftLog，把对应便签标记为完成，顺手写两句备注。
就这样。

| 渲染层 | React 18 + TypeScript |
| 状态管理 | Zustand |
| 数据库 | better-sqlite3（本地 SQLite） |
| 样式 | Tailwind CSS |
| 拖拽 | @dnd-kit |
数据库文件存储在 ~/Library/Application Support/driftlog/driftlog.db，完全本地，你的数据只属于你。
| 版本 | 核心功能 | 状态 |
|---|---|---|
| v0.1 (MVP) | 便签系统 + Menu Bar + Commit 记录 + 拖拽排序 | 已完成 |
| v2 | AI 任务拆解 + Git 自动同步 | 规划中 |
| v3 | Commit 历史时间线 + 数据洞察 | 规划中 |
v2 的核心假设：当你描述一个新项目时，AI 帮你自动拆解成一组便签，消除手动搭建工作流的最后一点摩擦。
