Asphalos vs Quipu for Vikunja

Asphalos turns your access codes into sharp QR codes or Code128 barcodes, ready to scan — on a job site, an industrial facility, a checkpoint, or in everyday life (gym, locker, checkout). WHY ASPHALOS On the field, some codes are permanent — a site badge, a technician ID — while others change weekly — a temporary access code, an intervention code. Asphalos handles both: link a permanent login to its short-lived codes, give each one its own expiry rule, and let the app clean up what's no longer valid automatically. BUILT FOR QUICK ACCESS - Display any code full-screen, as QR or Code128, readable by any scanning terminal - The screen stays on while a barcode is displayed — present it as long as you need - Pin a code to the lock screen for instant access without unlocking, time-limited with a clear on-screen warning - Quick actions from the app icon open your most-used codes in one tap - Multi-column layout and keyboard shortcuts on iPad, for efficient management even in a mobile field setup ORGANIZE YOUR WAY - Logins and codes, linked: attach a permanent ID to its temporary codes, scan both in sequence - Names, tags, and comments (with tappable links) to document each access - Favorites, search, sort, and manual reordering FLEXIBLE EXPIRY Never, after a number of days, a recurring weekday, a day of the month, or a fixed date — your temporary access disappears on its own, with no risk of forgetting or leaving a stale code around. FIELD-GRADE PRIVACY AND SECURITY Zero network, zero cloud, zero account. Everything is stored in your device's Keychain, optionally protected by Face ID or Touch ID, and automatically hidden during screen recording or mirroring. Built for environments where access confidentiality matters. Just as at home for everyday use — gym membership, locker, loyalty card — as it is for professional fieldwork.

Quipu is a keyboard-first client for Vikunja, the open-source, self-hosted task manager. If you live on a hardware keyboard — on iPad with a Magic Keyboard, or on a Mac running your iPad apps — Quipu lets you fly through your tasks without ever touching the screen. FAST BY DESIGN Every action has a single-key shortcut: j/k to move, e to edit, y to add to Today, x to mark done, / for a command palette that finds any action by name. Shortcuts are fully remappable to match how you already think. TODAY FOCUS Pick a handful of tasks each morning and Quipu keeps you there — a daily planning prompt, a dedicated Today view, and a clean reset every day so yesterday's picks never pile up on today's. KANBAN, YOUR WAY Switch any project to a Kanban board (To-Do / Doing / Done, mirroring Vikunja's own buckets) and move cards between columns with a keystroke or a drag. QUICK CAPTURE, FROM ANYWHERE A "New task from clipboard" shortcut, a share-sheet-free URL scheme for Shortcuts automations, and a home screen widget for one-tap capture straight to your Inbox. Drop an email from Mail, a file, or a link onto a task list and Quipu turns it into a task — small files become notes, bigger ones become a real attachment. MULTI-SERVER, MULTI-DEVICE Connect as many Vikunja servers as you use, switch between them instantly, and sync your settings across your own devices via iCloud Keychain. MADE FOR YOUR HANDS Full support for nesting tasks and projects with Tab, quick-add "magic" (@labels, !priority, due dates and #project, all typed inline), light/dark appearance that follows the system (or your own choice), and eight accent colors to match your taste. Quipu is free, open source, and doesn't run any analytics or ads. It needs a Vikunja server — self-hosted or hosted by a provider of your choice — to connect to.
