taskie

Taskie is a lightweight, open-source task management application designed for individuals and small teams. It emphasizes speed, simplicity, and portability, offering a straightforward interface for organizing tasks, subtasks, due dates, and project boards.

The name Taskie combines 'task' with the diminutive -ie, signaling its aim as a small, approachable productivity tool. It originated in the open-source ecosystem as a minimal alternative to more feature-heavy apps.

Core features include to-do lists, Kanban-style boards, and task hierarchies with subtasks. Users can set priorities, due dates, and labels, and apply filters and search to locate items quickly. Reminders, offline access, and data export are supported, and basic collaboration through shared boards lets teams assign tasks and monitor progress.

Taskie is built as a web application with a lightweight client and optional mobile wrappers. It relies on a local JSON store for offline use and can synchronize with a central server when available, enabling deployment on personal servers or cloud hosting.

As an open-source project, Taskie has several community forks and ongoing maintenance. It is distributed under a permissive license, and its development emphasizes user-centric design, accessibility, and small-footprint performance suitable for low-resource devices.

Compared with full-featured enterprise tools, Taskie prioritizes clarity and speed over depth of integration. It is often recommended as an approachable starting point for learning task-management workflows.
