Fox helps you organize work that's outgrown todo apps and notes. Built for solo developers and small teams, it organizes everything around the versions you're shipping and the milestones that get you there—turning scattered tasks into a clear path to delivery and helping to ensure nothing is left behind.
Hello Everybody!
Today I'm thrilled to announce Fox Issue Tracker 4, which significantly improves the user interface and leans further into its simple workflow design by putting its version and milestone philosophy front and center. It's also the first Product Hunt campaign I've run for Fox, so I am very excited!
Fox was created out of a simple idea: a project tracker that's available where I'm working, offers a place to collect and organize my units of work, and encourages a straightforward delivery workflow. Made for solo makers and small teams, it's built around the versions you ship and the milestones that get you there.
Fox is a self-contained app within the Apple ecosystem — locally hosted, synced across iOS and macOS through iCloud, and deeply integrated with the OS. On macOS, Fox additionally supports MCP through the Streamable HTTP transport, making it a project workspace LLMs can read, update, and act in.
Like most of my projects, Fox has been a labor of love — years of iteration, with plenty of growth on my end too. Four years later, here we are — and I'd love for you to give it a try. Fox is available as a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase, whichever you prefer.
I always welcome feedback — new features, improvements, bugs you come across — so please feel free to reach out without hesitation!
The MCP integration caught my eye the most. We already use LLMs for code review and direction in our own workflow, so having a project workspace that an agent can actively write to feels like a natural next step. Curious how you're finding the write access in practice is it mostly status updates? or has it been useful for restructuring milestones mid-sprint?
Local hosting combined with iCloud syncing is the gold standard for data privacy. Knowing your entire issue tracking workspace and project units stay completely inside your own Apple ecosystem while still getting the power of an LLM-readable workspace through MCP is the perfect balance of security and modern tech.
Congrats on the launch! The version/milestone-first framing is refreshing — most trackers treat releases as an afterthought bolted onto an endless backlog, and for solo devs "what ships in the next version" is really the only question that matters. Also love that it's self-contained and local-first in the Apple ecosystem. Curious: how do you handle quick capture when a bug or idea hits you away from the desk — is there a fast path to get it into Fox from iPhone without breaking flow?
For me, this is a very real problem -there are plenty of tasks, but no clear understanding of what will be finished and when!
The fox is doing a lot of heavy lifting for an issue tracker and honestly I respect it.
the 'nothing is left behind' promise is the hardest one to deliver on in issue tracking. most tools surface what's in the system but can't help with what you forgot to put in the system in the first place. curious whether Fox has any mechanism for catching things that should be in a release but aren't, like a checklist pattern or a release readiness check, or whether it's purely organizing what you've already decided to track
Good one today. Most trackers are a flat pile of tickets you slowly lose track of, so organizing the whole thing around versions and milestones is a genuinely different bet? An LLM reading my project is fine. An LLM closing issues and shoving milestones around is probably a write I'd want to see before it lands. Does the agent's action go straight through or is there a confirm step sitting between intent and your backlog?
