I’ve been using Planka (https://planka.app/) for years, to manage my to-do lists and other general lists of things (like gifts given, movies I want to watch and so on). But it’s been ages since I looked around for other, better apps. I really like the kanban board / trello approach they use as the lists are easy to maintain, add items to, and I can see the whole list in one glance.
I don’t need fancy stuff (teams features, sharing, advanced triggers or other automation). It’s just for me, running on my home server. Apps should be FOSS and installable via docker, ideally. I’ve looked at a few of the apps on selfh.st ( https://selfh.st/apps/?search=to-do ) but nothing stood out as really interesting.
Any apps you think of as new and interesting in this area?
Thanks!


It’s funny how this works… Right after submitting this I stumbled upon Vikunja. https://vikunja.io/
It looks good, at a glance. Anyone with experience using it?
I love it. Use it for shared shopping list with my wife.
I use it daily. I like it a lot. I’ve hooked my voice home assistant into it to create tasks. The Android app is alright. I have some problems with the widget not updating properly, but I think that was my fault for not turning on automatic sync.
The docker setup was trivial.
Use the tasks.org app and webdav to connect to vikunja. Works really well.
I’ve taken a brief look at it. The ui is fairly slick, but you have to use it their way and it doesn’t have a cli. How much that matters is up to you.

https://vikunja.io/docs/cli/ Also it supports webdav so you can use it however you like.
Thats an administration cli, not a daily use cli.
And, I mean things like being able to take tasks, pipe them through whatever tooling you like, pipe them back in, sync them from any other task system, etc. TaskWarrior has a fully customizable priority and urgency system, tagging, dependency management, and status system. I also like that TaskWarrior is usable completely offline and then can be resynced whenever you feel like it.
Vikunja is great and probably the right choice for most people. But if you do significant project planning for yourself AND want to be able to deal with you todo list programmatically, the only other thing close is orgmode.
