What Unfour is

Less context switching. More useful context.

Backend development spans terminals, databases, HTTP clients, and scattered project notes. Unfour is being built as a single local-first workspace where those tools can share the context of the system you are working on.

It is intended for backend developers who move between remote services, data, and APIs throughout the day and want a calmer way to keep that work organized.

Your workspace is designed to stay local by default. Optional account and sync capabilities are planned for later editions.

Core modules
