Gridoryn Wiki

Gridoryn is a local-first desktop task and personal project management application built with Python, PySide6, and SQLite. It is designed for a single power user who wants hierarchy, project clarity, review discipline, and strong local data ownership without a cloud backend.

Current stable version: v2.0.0

What Gridoryn Is

• A local desktop application for task planning, project tracking, and structured review
• A single-user workspace with explicit local databases, restore points, and no hosted sync dependency
• A planning tool that scales from inbox capture to milestones, deliverables, and timeline-based project work

What Gridoryn Is Not

• A team collaboration platform
• A hosted SaaS or cloud-sync product
• A minimal checklist app with no planning depth
