# Emm documentation





Emm is an issue tracker with a macOS desktop app and a standalone command-line tool for macOS and Linux. These guides accompany the October 19, 2026 update, including labels, multiple Notes windows, and project image sharing.

## Vocabulary

- **Project** — a workspace for teams and issues, stored in a folder containing `emm.db`.
- **Team** — a group of related issues inside a project.
- **Issue** — one item of work, identified by its number (for example 42 or #42).
- **Notes** — your Markdown files, opened and edited in Emm.

Basic work on your own computer needs no account. Sharing a project or Notes is a separate, explicit action.

## Task guides

- [Getting started](getting-started.md) — open Emm, create or open a project,
  and write your first issue.
- [Issues](issues.md) — teams, priority, status, finding work, and who does what.
- [Notes](notes.md) — opening, creating, editing, and linking Markdown files.
- [Sharing](sharing.md) — signing in, invitations, opening projects, and
  sharing Notes.
- [Agents and CLI](agents-and-cli.md) — command-line installation, help, and
  reading an issue from the terminal.
