The Attic

Tickzy is a native iOS issue and task tracker for developers, makers, and small teams.
Plan and track work in projects, keep a clear backlog on iPhone, and optionally pair Tickzy with Gitzy when you want tickets next to your repository work.

Why Tickzy

• Focused issue tracking: Create, edit, organize, and close tickets with titles, descriptions, notes, type, status, and priority—not a generic team chat or enterprise suite.
• Project-based: Group work in projects with ticket counts, accents, and an inbox-style flow where it applies.
• All tickets view: Filter by status (open, in progress, closed), scan badges, and open any ticket quickly.
• Local-first: Projects and tickets live on your device for speed and reliability; optional This device only or iCloud storage modes.
• Backup & restore: Manual and automatic ZIP backups (with retention, Wi-Fi-only and charging-only options, locked archives that skip rotation), import/export, and restore with summaries and safety options.
• Gitzy companion (optional): Link a ticket to a repository path, attach linked commits, open repos or commits in Gitzy, and follow ticket references from commit messages—both apps work standalone.
• Deep links: tickzy://ticket/<id> and tickzy://project/<id> open the right screen; Gitzy can open Tickzy from commit message references (e.g. #42, fix #42).
• Optional AI: When enabled, assistance for triage, titles, and summaries—user-controlled; follows in-app privacy copy.
• Accessibility & theme: Accessibility-aware UI patterns; dark mode aligned with system or app appearance.
• No ads, no cross-app tracking as part of the product positioning; ticket data stays on device except when you use iCloud storage, backup/export, or features that send content to an AI provider you configure.

Get Started

Install Tickzy from the App Store. Use the Projects tab to create or open a project, and the Tickets tab to see work across projects. Create a ticket with a title and optional description, assign project, status, priority, and type. Open Settings for storage mode, backup, companion info, AI, appearance, and support.

Recent highlights (1.0)

• Backup & restore: ZIP backups to iCloud Drive (Tickzy/Backups/) or on-device fallback; retention, locked backups, Wi-Fi/charging-only automatic runs, import/export, restore with clear warnings.
• Ticket numbers: Numbers only increase; deleting a ticket does not reuse its number (consistent with restore and sync).
• AI (when enabled): Triage suggestions for type, priority, status, and title while editing the description, aligned with AI Actions behavior.
• Keyboard & new ticket: Polished keyboard toolbar (Save / Done); new ticket flow focuses on Save then reopen New Ticket for the next item.

Manual

The User Guide & Manual covers overview, projects, tickets, workflow, storage and backup, the Gitzy companion, deep links, settings, AI, and privacy. Use it as a reference or to discover features you have not tried yet.

Open the Manual ->

Projects

The Projects tab lists projects with ticket counts. Create a project, rename it, pick an accent color, and open it to work in that scope. A dedicated inbox-style project may appear for quick capture; other projects stay separate for focused boards. Open a project to see its tickets, sort and reorder where supported, and manage work without leaving context.

Tickets

The Tickets tab shows tickets across projects. Filter by status, read titles and badges, and open detail for full fields: title, long-form description, notes, type, status, priority, and project. Create, edit, delete, or close tickets to match your process.

Status, priority & types

Status shows where a ticket sits in your workflow; priority signals urgency; type groups bugs, chores, features, and more. List badges combine text and color so information is not color-only.

Storage & backup

Choose local-only or iCloud storage for Tickzy data where the app offers it. Backup and restore use ZIP archives: create backups manually or on a schedule, set how many recent backups to keep, lock important archives so retention does not delete them, and restore with a summary and optional safety backup. Import backups from Files or export/share a .zip for portability.

Gitzy companion

Gitzy is a separate Git client. Tickzy does not perform Git operations itself; integration is optional. Link a repository path on a ticket so both apps share a stable repository identifier. Add linked commits (hash and optional snippet) and tap to open Gitzy at that commit when installed. In Gitzy, commit messages that reference tickets (e.g. #42, closes #42) show badges; tap to open Tickzy. If Gitzy is not installed, Tickzy shows a short message instead of failing silently. See Docs/COMPANION_INTEGRATION.md in the repo for URL schemes and data flow.

Deep links

• tickzy://ticket/<id> — Opens the ticket or offers to create it if missing.
• tickzy://project/<id> — Opens the project.

Shortcuts, Safari, or Gitzy can trigger these URLs.

Settings

Open Settings from the tab bar for storage and backup, Gitzy companion copy, AI configuration, appearance (including dark mode), support (rate, manual, feedback, contact), version and build, and legal links.

AI

When enabled, AI features can help with ticket titles, triage, summaries, or workspace assistance depending on the current build. Processing may be on-device or via a provider you configure; review in-app disclosures before enabling. AI is off until you turn it on and use flows that send text to a model.

Privacy & data

Tickzy is built without advertising and without cross-app tracking as a product goal. Ticket and project content stays on the device unless you use iCloud storage, backup/export, or AI features that transmit text. Declare App Store privacy labels to match the build you ship (diagnostics only if you transmit crash data; user content off-device only when backup sync or AI actually applies).

Technical notes

Tickzy is a SwiftUI app using IssueCore for ticket/project models, parsing, and optional companion metadata; SharedUI for shared design tokens and components. Persistence is local JSON in the app container unless you use iCloud-backed storage. Tickzy does not embed a Git engine—Git workflows stay in Gitzy. For structure and flows, see Docs/TICKZY.md and Docs/COMPANION_INTEGRATION.md.
