Who each one suits

- Privacy-minded users who want their tasks kept on their own device
- Linux, Windows and macOS users looking for a free desktop planner

- Keyboard users who like Vim-style navigation
- Working offline and syncing when a connection returns
Worth knowing
WeekToDo
- There is no sync between devices, no cloud copy of the data and no mobile app. Sync and a mobile version are on the project's roadmap.
- The latest release on GitHub, version 2.2.0, is dated February 2024.
- The changelog for version 2.0.0 lists a telemetry system among its additions, while the privacy statement is dated December 2020.
- The download page says the app is not code-signed, so the first launch needs a workaround.
Will Be Done
- The cloud is free only during the alpha. The site says it will then cost $3 per month, with 3 free months for people who registered during the alpha.
- Tasks are scheduled to days, not times of day, and the FAQ says time-of-day scheduling is not planned for now.
- It is a single-user planner: the FAQ says shared projects and multi-user spaces are not planned for now.
- Phones use an installable web app (PWA) because there are no app store builds yet, and end-to-end encryption is not implemented.
Key features
WeekToDo
- Week calendar and task list in one
- The main screen shows the week as columns of days with each day's tasks under it, so planning and the to-do list share a single interface.
- Custom to-do lists
- Separate lists hold tasks that are not tied to a day, such as projects, and a setting controls how many list columns are shown.
- Sub-tasks and Markdown
- A task can be broken into sub-tasks, and its description supports Markdown, with links opening in the web browser.
- Recurring tasks and reminders
- Tasks can repeat, including on chosen weekdays, and a time and an alarm can be set on a task so it raises a notification.
- Drag and drop and task colors
- Tasks are moved between days and lists by dragging, and each one can be given a color from the task color picker.
- Local storage
- The privacy statement says all data is saved locally on the device and never sent to the project's server, and no personal data is collected.
Will Be Done
- Weekly timeline
- Each day of the week is a column holding an ordered list of tasks. Tasks are dragged between days, and unfinished ones keep their day with a yellow marker instead of rolling into today.
- Local-first sync
- Every device holds a complete local database, so reading, creating and moving tasks works with no network. Changes sync through the cloud or a self-hosted server once a connection returns.
- Vim-style keyboard control
- Vim keybindings cover navigation, task creation, completion and moving work to another day. The desktop apps add a global shortcut that opens a quick-add window from any app.
- Project kanban boards
- Each project has a kanban board with columns you define, and separate spaces keep work and personal projects apart. A stash holds tasks that have no day yet.
- Self-hosting with Docker
- The server runs as one Docker container with SQLite storage and no external services. The web app, desktop app, sync server and API are licensed under AGPL-3.0.
- HTTP API and importers
- A documented HTTP API with bearer tokens reaches spaces, projects, tasks, checklists and schedules. Tasks can be imported from Todoist with an API token or from a TickTick CSV export.
