Montella

Everything is a project. Plan it like one.

Overview

What it is

A privacy-first project manager in every new tab. Nest projects inside each other for the big picture. Link one task to multiple projects. Switch between kanban and list views. All your data stays in your browser — no accounts, no servers, no tracking. Export everything as JSON with one click. Your life is a project. Finally plan it like one.

Intent

I need it when

Quickly capture and organize tasks without friction or setup overhead

Montella requires no sign-up, no data leaves the device, and tasks are accessible immediately upon opening a new tab. The lightweight extension installs directly from the Chrome Web Store and becomes functional instantly, eliminating barriers to task capture and organization.

View work in multiple formats suited to different planning contexts

Montella supports multiple views including Kanban board, list view, and calendar view, plus custom columns. Users can switch between formats depending on whether they need visual workflow management, simple checklists, or date-based planning.

Maintain complete data privacy and ownership without relying on cloud services or accounts

Montella operates entirely offline with data stored in browser local storage. No accounts, cloud sync, or analytics are required, and the developer cannot access user data. Users can export their entire workspace as JSON with one click and restore it anywhere, ensuring complete data ownership and portability.

Manage complex task hierarchies with tasks belonging to multiple projects simultaneously

Montella supports nested projects and cross-project task linking, allowing a single task to belong to multiple projects at once. Users can view the same work at different levels of detail—from daily tasks to 5-year plans—using the same board interface, providing both focus and perspective.

Organize personal and professional tasks across multiple life domains without leaving the browser

Montella transforms every new tab into a Kanban board where users can create nested projects for work, health, hobbies, and personal goals. This keeps tasks visible and accessible without opening additional applications, enabling users to start each browsing session with intention and maintain focus across different life areas.
