Vibe Manager

Product Introduction

1. Vibe Manager is a configuration synchronization tool designed for developers working with multiple AI-powered coding platforms. It automatically converts and syncs MCP server configurations, rule sets, and slash commands across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI through a unified interface. The tool operates on a local-first architecture, storing all configurations and backups exclusively on the user's device.
2. The core value lies in eliminating redundant configuration work through automated format conversion (JSON/TOML/CLI-specific) and one-click synchronization. It reduces configuration management time by 80% through centralized editing while maintaining full version control via timestamped local backups.

Main Features

1. One-click cross-platform synchronization automatically converts configurations between JSON (Claude Code), TOML (Codex CLI), and proprietary formats (Cursor) while maintaining semantic consistency across tools. The sync engine handles path mapping and syntax validation before deployment.
2. Unified configuration management provides a visual interface for managing MCP server parameters, linting rules, and slash commands through YAML-based templates. Users can define coding principles once and deploy them across all connected AI tools.
3. Auto-detection and backup system scans the local environment on launch to identify installed AI coding tools, then creates encrypted backups in ~/.vibemanager/backups before any synchronization operation. Backup retention follows a 30-day rolling policy with manual restore capabilities.

Problems Solved

1. Eliminates manual configuration duplication across AI coding tools that use different file formats and storage locations, particularly addressing JSON-TOML conversion errors that commonly occur during manual migrations.
2. Targets developers using multiple AI-assisted coding environments simultaneously, especially those managing team-wide coding standards or personal configurations across Claude, Codex, and Cursor workflows.
3. Solves synchronization failures when updating rules in one tool but forgetting to propagate changes to others, which often leads to inconsistent AI behavior and code quality issues across development environments.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike single-platform configuration managers, Vibe Manager supports bidirectional synchronization between four major AI coding tools with real-time format conversion, while competitors typically only handle one target platform.
2. Implements a conflict resolution algorithm that detects discrepancies between local tool configurations and master templates, providing visual diffs and merge options before synchronization.
3. Combines enterprise-grade configuration management with consumer-friendly pricing through a one-time $9.99 purchase model, contrasting with subscription-based developer tools while maintaining full offline functionality and data ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Which AI coding tools does Vibe Manager currently support? Vibe Manager supports Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI as of Q2 2024, with GitHub Copilot and Trae integrations planned for Q3 based on user voting through the in-app feedback system.
2. Will syncing configurations overwrite my existing tool settings? The tool always creates timestamped backups in ~/.vibemanager/backups before synchronization and provides a preview of changes through a three-pane diff viewer (current config vs. proposed changes vs. last backup).
3. What platforms are supported for installation? The current stable release is macOS-only via App Store, with Windows (MSI installer) and Linux (deb/rpm packages) versions scheduled for Q1 2025, featuring identical functionality except for platform-specific path detection logic.
4. Where are my configurations stored during use? All data remains local to your machine in ~/.vibemanager/, using SQLite for configuration storage and zstd compression for backups. No cloud synchronization or telemetry collection occurs during operation.
5. How does the format conversion handle tool-specific syntax? The converter uses toolchain-specific adapters that translate common configuration elements while preserving platform-exclusive parameters through commented-out placeholders in generated files.
