Hello friends,

I am looking for a self-hosted task / to-do list app that supports:

  • syncing across devices, preferably self-hosted
  • sort items myself rather than by deadline or built-in priority features, and preserve that order when syncing
  • allow defining arbitrary custom attributes

Some really nice to haves but not absolutely necessary features:

  • treat custom attributes as first-class. i.e. allow showing those attributes on the task-list view, without having to view all details to see it. Or be able to filter or by the attribute or sort by it.
  • allow custom logic for sorting
  • just scriptable features in general would be nice

I have been thinking of making my own, but wanted to see if this exists first.

    Answering myself: looks like taskwarrior is the closest thing right now. It seems moderately customizable with custom sort and atributes, and those attributes are decently first-class.

    There are android clients, some are unmaintained, but theres a solid one called “foreground”. I have not tried any android clients yet, so will look into that.

      Nextcloud also has a to-do list that can connect to apps like tasks.org over webdav, but that might be overkill for your needs.

    Vikunja seems to support all of this in its list view. You can add and sort by labels, those labels are displayed in the list view, and you can drag and drop items and their order is maintained. It is a selfhosted web interface so all devices will have the latest data.

    It has an API that’s capable of anything the normal interface can do (as it plugs into the same API,) so if you’re interested in scripting that would be a big bonus. I wrote a script that ties it into ntfy for notifications on overdue tasks or reminders.
