> Small open-source to-do list script for your own web server

myTinyTodo is a small open-source to-do list script written in PHP and jQuery that you install on your own web server. Tasks are kept in multiple lists with notes, tags, due dates and four priority levels, and a one-line smart syntax sets these as a task is typed. Data is stored in a MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database, and the changelog runs from 2009 to a release in September 2026.

## Key features

- **Multiple lists in tabs:** Each list is a tab with its own URL. Tabs can be reordered or hidden, and a special tab shows the tasks from every list together.
- **Smart syntax:** A task typed as "+1 Task #Tag1 #Tag2 @monday" is created with its priority, tags and due date already set. Due dates accept forms such as @1d or @25.12.
- **Tags, priorities and sorting:** Tasks take tags, due dates and a priority from -1 to +2. A tag cloud filters the list, search finds tasks, and sorting includes manual drag-and-drop and reverse order.
- **Notes with Markdown:** Each task can carry a note, and notes support Markdown syntax, including #NUMBER links to other tasks by id. Markdown can be turned off in settings.
- **Publishing, feeds and export:** A list can be published for read-only viewing, followed as an RSS feed, or exported to CSV and iCalendar. A password in settings keeps others from changing tasks.
- **Extensions:** Extensions listed in the changelog add notifications by e-mail and Telegram, backups to XML with restore, an updater and custom CSS.

## Good for

- People with PHP web hosting who want a private to-do list
- Simple lists with tags, priorities and due dates
- Publishing a read-only list or an RSS feed of tasks

## Worth knowing

- It must be self-hosted: the site offers a download and a demo, and setup needs a web server with PHP and a MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite database.
- There are no native mobile or desktop apps; phones use the same responsive web page.
- Protection is a single password set in settings rather than separate accounts for each person.
- Internet Explorer and the Presto-based Opera are not supported.
