Qalatra

A project manager your agent actually operates.

A structured task database that can hand work to AI agents through the MCP ecosystem.
01

The pitch

AI agents can already read and update a lot of the tools teams use. The gap is the other direction: most project managers still treat AI like an outside assistant, not a worker you can assign, track, and fold back into the plan.

Qalatra closes that loop. Tasks, daily notes, habits, contexts, agent profiles, and dispatch history live in one local database, so work can move from "this needs doing" to "send this to an agent" without leaving the planning surface. The system can call into thousands of MCP servers, and whatever tools they expose, while keeping the task-management layer intact.

"Project management where AI work can be assigned, tracked, and folded back into the plan."

The work

Reusable agents organized by context and project — from blog writing to client analysis — so specialized AI work can be dispatched against the same local task database.
A built-in Markdown workspace with live print preview, typography controls, page breaks, and PDF export for turning agent-produced analysis into finished documents.

The build

Electron keeps it native — Mac, Windows, and Linux from one codebase. SQLite lives on disk; nothing goes to a server. The MCP server runs locally via StreamableHTTP and can connect the app to the broader MCP ecosystem. The hard part was dispatch and synthesis — turning tasks, notes, habit history, and context into work packets an agent can act on without exhausting its context window. A built-in xterm.js terminal keeps agent work beside the task list. Open source under MIT.
