    Flow

    free • Free
    Updated Oct 2026

    Flow is a free, MIT-licensed macOS app for people who build products with AI coding agents. It puts documentation, Kanban tasks, agent sessions and project results in one local workspace, so you can run Claude Code, Codex or other CLI agents against your project while keeping specs and tasks beside them in Markdown and HTML files. Everything stays local, with no account and no cloud workspace, which keeps both your code and your product thinking private. It suits indie hackers and product-minded developers who want project management and agentic coding in one window without another subscription. The honest trade-offs: it is macOS only, and as a young open-source project it will have rough edges and a smaller feature set than dedicated PM tools. For a free, local-first home for vibe-coding workflows, it is a promising start.
