AlignerBeta
Aligner introduces a flexible, and open structure for work and task coordination, and makes people and agents native participants in it.
Windows and Linux coming soon.
Built for people and agents.
Work is increasingly shared between people and AI agents. Aligner treats both as first-class participants: each can take on work, report on it and see the work of others as it happens. Coordination includes everyone from the start.
A structure that adapts to your work.
Every organization works differently. Aligner provides nested structures with custom fields and computed values, so teams can model their work, and extend that model as the work evolves.
Good practice, ready to reuse.
The way your team works best is worth keeping. Save it as a template, including the rules your agents follow, and every new tree starts from what you already know works.
Works with the agents you already use.
Aligner connects to AI assistants and coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, the Claude app and any client that speaks MCP. Agents work in the same structures as your team1,2, with the access you give them, and with real-time awareness.
Powerful, without the overhead.
Coordination should cost less than the work it coordinates. Aligner requires no administrator and no implementation project. Aligner is local first: your work is stored in files you control. Team1,2 and cloud1,2 are optional.

Windows and Linux coming soon.
