Tasks
Tasks.md is a self-hosted task board based on Markdown files, with cards, lanes, and tags.
About Tasks
Tasks.md is a self-hosted task board for organizing work into cards, lanes, and tags. Each card is written as a Markdown file, and lanes map to directories on your filesystem. The project is installed with a single Docker image and is released under the MIT license. It runs as a self-hosted app with a web interface, so you host it on your own server and open it in a browser.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
Key features
- Create cards, lanes, and tags in a responsive interface.
- Write card content as Markdown files.
- Install with a single Docker image.
- Light and dark themes that follow operating system settings.
- Default color themes: Adwaita, Nord, and Catppuccin.
- Subpath reverse-proxy support through the BASE_PATH variable.
- Installable as a PWA.
- Multilingual interface with locale detected from the browser.
Best for: Anyone who wants a self-hosted, Markdown-based task management board.
Watch out for
- PWA does not work when BASE_PATH is set to anything other than "/".
- Feature scope is intentionally narrow for long-term maintenance.
