About

Blaha Tasks

Features
Read full description

Blaha is a planner for Vikunja, not just a list. Vikunja holds your tasks. Blaha gives them a system โ€” defer dates, review cycles and perspectives of your own โ€” on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your tasks stay on your own server. There is no account to create here, no backend of ours in the middle, and nothing about you is collected. WHAT IT DOES Forecast โ€” today and the days ahead, with your calendar events beside the tasks that are due, so an afternoon that is already full looks full. Tasks โ€” everything you could do now. Deferred work is hidden until its date, and the count of what is hidden is always shown. Calendar โ€” month, week and day, reading the calendars already on your device. Projects โ€” nested projects, with available and deferred work separated. Review โ€” a review cycle per project, so a project cannot quietly go stale. Perspectives โ€” saved filters of your own: next actions, this week, waiting on. Each takes a place in the sidebar and behaves like any other screen. Blocked โ€” work that is waiting on another task, gathered in one place. ON THE MAC AND IPAD Three columns: where you are, what is coming, and the task you are editing โ€” without leaving the list to edit it. Command-1 to Command-7 move between screens. IT WORKS OFFLINE Changes made without a connection are queued and sent when the server is reachable again. Widgets and a share extension are included on both platforms. TRY IT WITHOUT A SERVER Tap "Try the demo" on the first screen and Blaha runs against sample data held entirely on the device โ€” no server, no account, no network. Every feature works there, including the calendar, which uses its own sample events rather than reading yours. WHAT IT COSTS Blaha is free to use as a full task client: Forecast, Tasks, Calendar, Done, capture, the share extension and the widgets. A one-time unlock adds the six features that turn a list into a system: Projects, Blocked, Review, Perspectives, defer dates and multiple accounts. There is no subscription. Everything is open for a 7-day trial from first launch, so the paid layer can be judged before it is bought. WHAT YOU NEED A Vikunja server you host, or a Vikunja Cloud account, reachable over HTTPS. Or neither โ€” the demo needs nothing at all. Blaha is an independent third-party client for Vikunja. Vikunja is an open-source project and is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, this app.

About

Tasks Anywhere

Read full description

Tasks Anywhere is a complete to-do app for iPhone and iPad, with the features of premium task managers and probably more than you will ever need. No account, no sign-up, no server: open it, add a task, and your lists stay on your device. You don't need Vikunja to use it, but if you run your own Vikunja server, you can sync with it. EVERYTHING ON YOUR DEVICE Lists in folders, subtasks, labels, due dates, reminders, repeating tasks, a Kanban board, notes, attachments, search, undo: it all works without a server. The only two things that need one are sharing lists with other people and assigning tasks to them. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY โ€ข Lists in folders โ€ข Subtasks several levels deep; fold them away and see at a glance how many are done โ€ข Drag to reorder, or keep a list alphabetical โ€ข Labels, priorities, colors, favorites and progress โ€ข A Kanban board for any list PLAN AHEAD โ€ข Due, start and end dates; tasks that start later wait in Upcoming โ€ข Reminders and repeating tasks โ€ข Quick add: type the date and labels right into the title โ€ข Word suggestions from your own task titles, computed on your device MORE THAN A CHECKBOX โ€ข Markdown notes, comments and file attachments โ€ข Cancel a task instead of deleting it โ€ข Just-completed tasks stay in view for a moment โ€ข Search, smart lists, multi-select and undo โ€ข A support form right in the app IF YOU RUN VIKUNJA Sign in to your self-hosted Vikunja server with your username and password or an API token, and your lists appear. Keep working offline; changes sync as soon as the server is reachable again, and nothing is lost in between. Tasks you started on the device can move to your server later with one tap, with their comments, completion dates and task numbers. With a server you can also share lists with others and assign tasks to people. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Without a server, your tasks never leave your device. With one, they go to your server and nowhere else. MISSING SOMETHING? Tell us through the support form in the app. We read every message, and when a feature is missing and technically possible, we work on adding it. Vikunja is an independent open-source project (vikunja.io). Tasks Anywhere is not made or endorsed by its authors.
