# Welcome to Aiola

> Aiola is a desktop app for managing project operations, setup, and product signals across your software workspaces.

## What Aiola is

Aiola is a desktop workspace for software projects. It combines project-level setup and operational tooling in one place, including:

* feedback collection
* app logs
* website analytics
* integrations
* Git and GitHub settings
* environment variable management
* MCP server configuration
* per-project instructions and automation-related settings

## How the app is organized

Aiola is split into two main layers:

* **Central views** for app-wide preferences and cross-project dashboards
* **Project workspaces** for repository-specific setup and data

That lets you keep each project's analytics, feedback, keys, and integrations separate while still reviewing them from central pages when needed.
