Open Data, Workflow, File Storage

All Your Documents (and Metadata and Settings) Are Belong to You!

Open Source App

Nimbalyst itself is open source. The full source code is published at github.com/nimbalyst so you can audit how your files, sessions, and settings are handled, build your own version, or contribute back.

Open Storage of Content and Status in Markdown

• Human-readable format: All plans, documents, tasks, and status tracking use standard markdown files

• Version control ready: Plain text files work seamlessly with Git for history and collaboration

• YAML frontmatter: Structured metadata stored as YAML at the top of markdown files

• No proprietary formats: Edit your files with any text editor, never locked into a specific tool

• Transparent tracking: Plan status, progress, and metadata all visible and editable in the markdown source

Open Storage of Workflow and Config in Coding Agent Commands

• Slash commands: Custom workflows stored in .claude/commands/ directory as markdown files

• Project instructions: Repository-specific guidance in CLAUDE.md checked into your codebase

• Local configuration: Settings and preferences stored in standard application directories

• Portable workflows: Share your custom commands and workflows by committing them to version control

• No vendor lock-in: All configuration uses open standards and readable formats

Open Storage of Your Files in Your File Tree or Github

• File system first: Local documents are stored directly in your local file system

• Optional team workspace: Files explicitly promoted to Nimbalyst Teams gain a shared copy that flows through Cloudflare encrypted in transit and at rest

• Git integration: Full support for Git version control and GitHub synchronization

• Your choice of sync: Use GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or any Git hosting service you prefer

• Standard file structure: Local project content stays in files and folders you control
