Open source task management Actually instant.
Actually offline.
Most task managers store your data on the server — which means spinners, latency, and a broken app when connectivity drops. Will Be Done keeps a full database copy in your browser. Every action is instant, it works when your server is down, and changes sync in real-time across all your devices and tabs.

Built differently
What most task managers get wrong
We researched every major self-hosted task manager before building this. Most cut at least one important corner. Will Be Done doesn't. It designed to be local-first from the start.
True offline mode
Open the app with no server, no internet. Not a cached skeleton — the full app, read and write, completely offline.
Local-first
Your full database lives in the browser. Every action is instant — zero network round trips.
Rea-time cross-tab, cross-device sync
Changes appear instantly across all tabs and devices. No polling. No refresh needed.
Weekly planning view
Visual week-as-columns layout. Drag tasks between days. See your full week at a glance.
Mobile support
Manage tasks from any device.
One container, zero ops
SQLite, single Docker container, no Postgres, no Redis. Self-host in under 60 seconds.
One command to own your data
Run it on your own server. No external dependencies, no accounts, no tracking. Just a simple Docker container.
