SoloTasks View on GitHub

A minimal self-hosted
task manager for
one person.

I built SoloTasks to manage my own tasks and projects. I’m sharing it under the MIT license for anyone in the self-hosting community who finds it useful.

Features

What it does

Kanban board
Five columns, from Backlog to Done, with drag-and-drop tasks, descriptions and three priority levels.
Projects and milestones
Color-coded projects with separate boards. Tasks can belong to milestones, which have their own deadlines.
Deadline calendars
A compact deadline heatmap beside the board and a full monthly calendar with a project filter.
Login, storage and backups
A single personal login, persistent SQLite storage and automatic, verified backups twice a day.
