01

Local by default

SQLite and managed attachments live on your computer. The app works completely offline.

02

Clear by design

Three states. Checkable acceptance criteria. One notes field. No sprints, estimates, owners, or dashboards.

03

Shared when you choose

Use optional Git synchronization with your own remote. GitHub and GitLab are transports, not dependencies.

The whole product

It does not manage your team, your dates, or your company.

It only makes clear what needs to be built.

Local MCP for agents

Your tools can work with the same stories.

The app exposes a loopback-only MCP endpoint while it is running. Compatible local agents can list projects, search stories, update criteria, manage profiles, and add attachments without sending your workspace to FS User Stories.

Linux available · Windows contributors wanted

Run it on Linux and help us strengthen the cross-platform editions.

Linux 1.0.8 is available as a Snap and AppImage. Both use the same open Rust core and project format as macOS. The Qt editions are still newer than the native Mac app, so real workflow testing and reproducible reports remain especially valuable.

Available now

Get it on the Mac App Store.

Buy FS User Stories once and install it directly from Apple. No subscription, no account, and no telemetry from FS User Stories.

Buy for $9.99 USD
