I’ve been building a self-hosted task manager focused on something I couldn’t find in one package: true offline support, fast sync across devices and API support.

Most open source task apps I tried leaned toward either:

• good offline support but weak multi-device sync with no API support
• or good sync but limited offline functionality

Will Be Done is my attempt to solve both.

Demo: https://demo.will-be-done.app/

GitHub: https://github.com/will-be-done/will-be-done

Home page: https://will-be-done.app/

What is supported right now:

• True offline mode - reads and writes happen in the local browser DB and sync to the server when it becomes available again (so you can still use it even if your homelab is down!)
• Fast sync across devices
• Tasks and projects with drag-and-drop support
• Kanban inside projects
• Weekly planner
• Recurring tasks
• Vim keybindings

Planned in the near future:

• CalDAV integration
• Import from Todoist / TickTick / Microsoft To Do
• API support
• MCP support
• Desktop app with global quick-add shortcut

Why I built it:

This is my third attempt over the last 3 years to build my ideal task manager, and I now use it daily.

I’ve worked on local-first and sync-heavy systems professionally, so offline-first architecture is something I care a lot about getting right.

Installation:

Single Docker command, no docker-compose, no external dependencies, SQLite included.

docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v will_be_done_storage:/var/lib/will-be-done \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/will-be-done/will-be-done:latest

Then open http://localhost:3000/.

Would love feedback from people here, especially if you care about self-hosting, offline-first apps, or replacing proprietary task managers.

"We think it was done by Iran. Because they are very inaccurate, as you know, with their munitions. They have no accuracy whatsoever," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

Lots of fake news and speculation about Sayed Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Leader of Iran. I figured Id share some informative takes that stood out to me.

“I came here from the southern suburbs to be safe with my children and the strike hit,” said Abu Hussein, a 45-year-old taxi driver while showing his damaged car.

“There is no safe place.”

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz did not want to lecture Donald Trump about international law. So, he didn't, at least not during the public part of his visit to the White House. This was despite most experts agreeing that the US-Israeli attack on Iran breached international law.

Friedrich Merz is displaying a type of quiet tolerance of Trump's approach. He does not fully approve of it, expresses doubts, but does not condemn it.

The proposed age limit, which aimed to address concerns over online harms, was defeated in a Commons vote by 307 to 173, a majority of 134

A father and his daughter have been killed in an Israeli drone attack in central Khan Younis, southern Gaza, as Palestinians continue to suffer amid worldwide attention on the United States-Israeli war on Iran.

The two were killed early on Saturday. In a separate attack later in the day in Khan Younis, another person was killed and a young girl wounded, according to Al Jazeera correspondents on the ground.

The many similarities between the White House’s justification for war in Iran and Russia’s messaging on Ukraine underscore the risks of a vaguely defined, open-ended war.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said last Monday that the United States “didn’t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.”

After he invaded Ukraine in 2022, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia put it this way: “We didn’t start the so-called war in Ukraine. Rather, we are trying to finish it.”

Mr. Putin’s war was a disastrous ground invasion of a fledgling democracy. Mr. Trump’s war on Iran is a sophisticated bombing campaign against an aggressive theocracy that was killing its own people in the streets. But some similarities are uncanny, starting with the White House and the Kremlin both trying to avoid calling their actions acts of war.

. . .

Shifting objectives, an exaggerated threat, an ambiguous mission: The many Russian echoes in the White House’s messaging on Iran underscore the risks of a vaguely defined, open-ended war in which the attacking party pins its hopes on regime change.
