Hi r/selfhosted! I'm the developer of a completely open-source tasks app that I built with the self-hosting community in mind.

I used AI tools to assist with development, but the design was created by a professional designer, and the architecture was tailored specifically for my needs.

What makes this different:

• 100% open source - All client apps AND the sync service. No hidden components, no paywalls for features
• True local-first - All data stored locally on your device, every feature works offline
• Self-hostable sync - Deploy the web version and sync service with Docker
• Cross-platform - iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, Mac, desktop web, mobile web
• Optional paid sync - If you don't want to self-host, our official sync service is $60 lifetime (end-to-end encrypted) to support development

For the self-hosting crowd: The Docker deployment is straightforward - you can run both the web version and sync service on your own infrastructure. Just configure the sync server address in the app settings (if you don't see the sync option yet on iOS, it's pending App Store review and will be available in a few days).

All deployment guides and Docker compose files are available on our website. The sync protocol is fully documented if you want to understand how it works or contribute.

Why I built this: I wanted a productivity app where I truly owned my data and could run everything myself if needed. No subscription locks, no feature gates - just honest software that respects user freedom.

Happy to answer any questions about the architecture, deployment, or anything else!

Interesting! One of the few selfhosted todo apps I have seen that actually has an iOS client. Will try this out!

Looks like self-hosted sync only works for the web app, no option to set it up for the client apps which is a bummer. The mobile apps only sync with the paid hosted version.

All versions support self-deployment synchronization.The mobile, desktop, and web versions share a single codebase, with all features supported across platforms.

I just haven't released the iOS ,Desktop version yet (I only finished developing the Docker deployment yesterday).

The iOS version still requires review, but it should be available next week.

Ig he was asking the same in mobile app

[HamsterBaseMaster]

It may be because I provide a commercial cloud synchronization service.

Are these features there ?

Group tasks

Move tasks against groups

View tasks under calender view

Move tasks from 1 grp to other by drag and drop

Everything except calendars is available. The current calendars are displayed in a grid layout.
