03  features

made for side-quest devs.

Most side projects die in a forgotten folder. Pina is the low-friction bookkeeper that keeps them visible — and makes you actually want to come back.

/01 · detection

80+ project types, zero config.

Node, Rust, Go, Python, Swift, Rails, Django, Terraform, Foundry, Xcode, Nix… quick actions appear automatically, sorted by what you actually use.

/02 · flow

one project active, always.

Switching updates the ~/current symlink, tracks stats, logs milestones, and surfaces git status the moment your terminal regains focus.

/03 · storage

flat yaml, portable.

Point ~/.pina/ at iCloud, Dropbox, or Syncthing. No database, no lock-in.

/04 · stages

stages that advance themselves.

Planning → scaffolding → development → stable → complete. Git activity nudges them forward automatically.

/05 · scan

scan a folder, adopt them all.

Point pina at ~/dev, pick the ones that count, and register them in seconds.
