Scan everything quickly
Table layout so you can see the whole register at once. No digging through cards.
Local-only • lightweight • zero friction
A simple register for “everything else”.
Open Register is a small local dashboard that helps you catalogue projects that don’t belong in your main system — side quests, personal builds, experiments, blogs, and long-running threads.
A register view — not a task system.
What it’s for
A place to keep non-core work visible without forcing it into your main tooling.
Just enough structure
Status + SDLC stage gives you clarity without turning it into a complex workflow.
Local-first by design
No accounts, no logins, no syncing — your data stays in a simple JSON file.
One-click open
Store a project “Home” link (URL or file path) so you can jump straight in.
Editable, not precious
Add, edit, delete entries from the UI — and the register updates instantly.
Small tool energy
Built to stay lightweight and focused — a register, not a productivity platform.
How it works
Open Register runs locally using a tiny Node launcher.
The dashboard reads and writes to open-register.json.
- Launch with
start.bat(no terminal habit required). - Add projects using the “Add” button.
- Sort by Name (default), Stage, or Status.
- Open a project home link when you’re ready to jump in.
Intent: keep “open category” work visible and searchable — without mixing it into studio systems.
