Donetick vs tududi

Donetick

• Families and roommates sharing a chore list with fair rotation
• Recurring home maintenance tasks on flexible schedules
• Home Assistant users who want chores to show up as to-do lists
• Self-hosters who want an open-source task server

tududi

• People who want a self-hosted task system under the MIT license
• Planning a day's tasks around calendar meetings
• Connecting an AI agent to tasks through a built-in MCP server
• Keeping goals, projects, notes and habits in one system

Donetick

• On Donetick Cloud, the app lists notifications and reminders, real-time updates, API tokens, webhooks, file uploads and thing-based triggers as Plus-only.
• The site has no public pricing page. Plus prices here are from the US App Store; Google Play's US listing shows $5.99 to $39.99 per item.
• Self-hosting is free, but the terms leave hosting, security, backups and updates to you, with no support guarantee.
• The project's README describes offline support as very limited.

tududi

• tududi Cloud has no free plan. After the 14-day trial, an account without a subscription turns read-only for 30 days and is then deleted.
• There are no native mobile or desktop apps: tududi runs in a browser and can be installed as a PWA.
• Cloud prices are listed in euros and exclude taxes, and the €50 yearly price is labelled an early-bird rate.
• The free option is self-hosting, which means running Docker, a reverse proxy, TLS, updates and backups yourself.

Donetick

Shared groups and assignee rotation

Tasks are shared with a group of family, friends or teammates and assigned to one person, with the next assignee picked at random, by fewest assigned or completed, or kept the same.

Plain-language task entry

Typing a phrase such as "Take the trash out every Monday and Tuesday at 6:15 pm" creates the task with its dates, times and recurrence filled in.

Flexible and adaptive recurrence

Tasks repeat daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or on custom days, counted from the due date or the completion date. Adaptive scheduling sets the next date from past completions.

Points, approval and history

Completed tasks earn points for a leaderboard, and an admin can be required to approve them. A history records due dates, completion dates, notes and who did each task.

Things, NFC tags and automation

A Thing stores a number, a true or false value or text, and a change in it can trigger or complete a task. NFC tags mark tasks done when scanned, and a REST API and webhooks connect other tools.

Notifications on several channels

Reminders can be set before, on or after a due date and delivered through the mobile app, Telegram, Discord, Pushover or webhooks. On Donetick Cloud, the upgrade dialog lists task notifications under Plus.

tududi

One Add box with plain-language dates

A single box adds inbox items, tasks, notes or projects. Phrases such as "next fri" or "every first monday" set the date or repeat, and #tags, +Project and @person are read as you type.

Plan my day around your calendar

The planner ranks what could fit today and places tasks in the free time between meetings from read-only Google, Apple or Outlook calendar feeds. AI can draft the whole day.

Areas, goals, projects and habits

Goals and areas sit at the top and contain projects, which contain tasks and subtasks. Notes are kept alongside, and habits are tracked with streaks and a completion history.

Eisenhower matrix, Kanban and saved views

Tasks can be shown as an Eisenhower matrix or a Kanban board, and saved searches such as Today, Overdue or Someday reopen a filter in one click.

MCP server and optional AI assistant

A built-in MCP server exposes 59 tools to agents such as Claude Desktop or Cursor. A separate, opt-in AI assistant works with any OpenAI-compatible provider, including local ones like Ollama.

CalDAV, Telegram and API

Tasks sync both ways over CalDAV with Apple Reminders, tasks.org and Thunderbird. A Telegram bot captures tasks and sends daily digests, and a REST API uses personal access tokens.
