# Vikunja

> Open-source task manager to self-host or use as a paid cloud

Vikunja is an open-source to-do and project app licensed under the AGPLv3. It can run on your own server at no cost, or you can pay for Vikunja Cloud, the maker's managed hosting in the EU. Tasks live in projects that can be shown as a list, a kanban board, a Gantt chart or a table, and a project can be shared with other users, with teams or through a link.

## Ways to pay less

- **Lower price with yearly billing** (Annual discount): Yearly billing costs €40 for Personal, €99 for Family and €50 per user for Organization, which the pricing page labels as 17.5% to 20% less than paying monthly. Source: https://vikunja.io/pricing/

## Key features

- **List, kanban, Gantt and table views:** Each project can be shown as a list, a kanban board, a table with selectable columns or a Gantt chart, and you can switch between them at any time.
- **Quick Add Magic:** Typing a date, a *label, an @assignee, a +project or a !priority into a task title sets those fields as the task is created. It works in the web UI.
- **Sharing, teams and link shares:** A project can be shared with one user, a team or a link. Link shares let people view or edit tasks without an account, with the same permission levels.
- **Reminders, repeats and relations:** Tasks take due dates, reminders, repeat intervals, priorities, labels, attachments and subtasks, and can be related to tasks in other projects, for example as blockers.
- **Imports and CalDAV:** Built-in importers cover Todoist, Trello, Microsoft To Do, TickTick, WeKan, Planka and CSV files. A CalDAV integration syncs tasks with outside clients such as iOS Reminders.
- **API, webhooks and MCP:** A documented REST API with token authentication, webhooks, a vendor-maintained community node for n8n and, from version 2.7.0, an MCP endpoint for AI assistants.

## Good for

- People who want their task data on a server they control
- Households and teams sharing projects across list, board and Gantt views
- Moving off Todoist, Trello or Microsoft To Do with a built-in importer

## Worth knowing

- Vikunja Cloud has no free plan. The free option is self-hosting, where server maintenance, updates and backups are your job.
- The mobile app is an alpha pre-release for Android that the docs say covers only very basic features, and the maker gives no iPhone support.
- The admin panel, audit logs and time tracking belong to Vikunja Pro, a paid add-on for self-hosted instances in private beta with no public prices.
- Cloud prices are listed in euros only, and the vendor describes its CalDAV integration as early alpha with known bugs.

n8n, Home Assistant, Claude Code, Codex, Mistral Vibe, Apple Reminders
