A living board on top of files you already own.
IntrynSync runs on your computer or server and turns a folder of markdown into a work + life goal board. You, your editor, and your AI agents all read and write the same files — and nothing an agent does lands without your approval.

Your files
Every card is a markdown note in a folder or Obsidian vault you own. No database, no lock-in.
The board
One small Node process renders your files as a live board — drag, edit, search, done.
Quick capture
Type one line — "Renew hosting friday #client !work" — and the card builds itself.
Progress memory
Every goal carries a timestamped log of what happened and why. Memory you can read.

Runs anywhere Node.js runs
A laptop, a Mac mini in the closet, a Raspberry Pi, a $5 VPS. Zero npm dependencies, no database, one command to start, and a built-in checker that verifies your install. Works beautifully on top of an existing Obsidian vault — the board updates live as notes change.
