By

Summary

Montella is a privacy-first project management browser extension built by a solo indie developer. It allows users to manage everything as projects in their browser's new tab, with features like nested projects, task linking across multiple projects, and toggle between kanban/list views. All data stays locally in the browser with no accounts, servers, or tracking, and can be exported as JSON. The tool is designed for simplicity and privacy, contrasting with complex or cloud-dependent alternatives.

Your life is a project. Finally plan it like one.
Everything is a project (nest them infinitely for the big picture). Link one task to multiple projects.
