# Will Be Done

> Open-source weekly task planner that works offline and self-hosts

Will Be Done is an open-source task manager built around a weekly timeline, with one column per day and tasks dragged between days. Every device keeps a full local database, so it works with no connection and syncs through the hosted cloud or a server you run yourself in one Docker container. It is a single-user planner built by one developer and is currently in alpha.

## Ways to pay less

- **3 extra free months for alpha sign-ups** (Other savings): Everyone who registers for the cloud during the alpha pays nothing while it lasts and gets 3 more months free after the paid release. Source: https://will-be-done.app/

## Key features

- **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.

## Good for

- People who plan a week at a time instead of working from a daily list
- Self-hosters who want their task data on a server they control
- Keyboard users who like Vim-style navigation
- Working offline and syncing when a connection returns

## Worth knowing

- 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.
