Task Fiend

Task Fiend is a self-hosted to-do list for small groups of people who trust each other. It was built because no existing tool handled multi-user task assignment in quite the right way, and because watching an AI write software is genuinely fun.

It's not designed to scale to thousands of users. It assumes at least one person in the group is comfortable running a server and typing commands.

What makes it different

  • Tasks and projects are private by default — only the creator and explicitly assigned people can see them
  • No deletion — tasks are archived, not destroyed
  • A quick-add bar on every list view lets you create tasks with natural language dates, projects, tags, and assignees all in one line
  • Recurring tasks automatically create the next instance when you complete the current one
  • A full changelog is kept for every task, project, and tag

If you find a disagreement between this documentation and the README in the repository, trust this one.
