VS Code project management for software teams
Bring your project management system into VS Code. Manage tasks, track time, commit, push, close work, and update the project board without leaving your editor.
VS Code extension — Available
Why browser-based project boards go stale
Your work lives in the editor, but the tracker lives in a browser tab. Switching over to update tickets breaks flow, so it gets skipped — and the board drifts away from reality. Vi is not just a VS Code extension: it is a full project management system for software teams, and the extension brings task execution, time tracking, Git commits, push, and workflow updates into VS Code — so you stay in one place from first line of code to closing the ticket.
Vi wires the task lifecycle to your commits, so finishing the code and updating the board are the same action. Learn about Git-aware project management →
What you can do without leaving VS Code
See your tasks
Your assigned tasks with descriptions and status, right in a side panel — no context switch.
Track time
Start and stop a timer per task and update your personal status without opening a browser.
Git panel
Stage, commit (with a task-aware message), and push — straight from the editor.
Commit & Close
One action commits with task context, pushes to Git, closes the task, and advances the workflow — the board updates itself.
One task in progress
Vi enforces one active In Progress task per developer — work stays focused, and the board shows what's really being worked on.
Your code stays local
Git runs locally inside VS Code. Vi never accesses, stores, or uploads your source code — it only orchestrates the task workflow.
Commit & Close from VS Code
When the code is done, mark the task Done in the Vi panel. Vi stages your changes, writes a task-aware commit message, pushes to your Git remote, closes the task, and moves it through the workflow. The project board updates automatically — no browser tab required.

Is the VS Code extension available now?
Yes — the VS Code extension is available today. Create a free account to get started. Visual Studio and Lazarus extensions are in testing, RAD Studio is under review, and JetBrains IDEs are planned.
Does the extension access my code?
Git actions run locally in VS Code. Vi orchestrates the task workflow — it never stores or uploads your source.
Can I have multiple tasks in progress at once?
No — Vi keeps one task In Progress per developer. It's a deliberate focus rule: less parallel unfinished work, and a board that reflects what's actually being worked on.
Does the project board update automatically?
Yes. When you Commit & Close from VS Code, the task is closed and moved through the workflow, so managers see the real status without anyone touching the browser.
Does Commit & Close push code?
Yes. Commit & Close pushes the task-aware commit to your Git remote as part of the same action, while Git operations stay local to your machine.
Is Vi a VS Code project manager or task manager?
Yes — Vi works as a VS Code project manager and task manager: the extension puts your assigned tasks, a timer, personal status, and a Git panel inside the editor, and Commit & Close closes the task and moves the workflow from VS Code. Behind the extension, Vi is a full project management system — boards, workflows, approvals, time tracking, and reports for the whole team, not just a task list for the editor.
