Everything Will Be Done does

Will Be Done plans a week at a time, one column per day. Every device keeps the whole database, so nothing waits for the network. Vim keys cover the app, and an HTTP API lets a script do the same work.

A column per day, the whole week at once

Monday through Sunday sit side by side. Drag a task from Wednesday to Friday and it lands on Friday. A day is an ordered list, not a grid of hours, so you pick the day and never the time.

A task you didn't finish keeps its day and gets a yellow marker. It doesn't pile into today, and it never turns red. When one day is enough, the Today view shows only that day, and the stash holds the work you haven't scheduled at all.

Your hands never leave the keyboard

Vim keybinds cover the whole app. Move with h/j/k/l, create tasks with o/O, complete with space, and push work to another day without reaching for the mouse.

Don't break focus to capture a task

A thought surfaces mid-work. Switching apps kills your flow. One global shortcut works anywhere on your Mac, Windows or Linux machine. Type the task, hit enter, and you're back. The popup disappears. Your focus doesn't.

Projects for the work that outlives a week

Each project gets its own kanban board with columns you define, such as Week, Month, Ideas and Someday. Separate spaces keep work and personal apart, so an idea you are not ready for waits in Someday instead of crowding this week.

Local-first

Local-first, not offline-ish

Every device runs a complete local database. Opening a task, moving it across the week or creating a new one never waits for the network. The server only passes changes between your devices when there is a connection.

  • No spinners. Reads and writes happen locally, so every drag and keystroke lands immediately.
  • Plane mode is normal mode. The full app works with no connection, including planning and completing tasks.
  • Server downtime is survivable. If your homelab is rebooting, your tasks are still there and sync catches up later.
  • Built for a lifetime of tasks. Rows are read from local storage on demand instead of loading the whole database at startup, so the app opens straight into your week after years of history.

Coming from Todoist or TickTick?

Bring your tasks with you. Import from Todoist with an API token, or from a TickTick CSV export. Projects and tasks land straight in your spaces.

HTTP API

Wire your tasks into everything else

Spaces, projects, sections, tasks, checklists and schedules are all reachable over a documented HTTP API. A Telegram bot, a cron job or your own script can drop work straight into your week. Create a token in Space settings → Tokens and send it as a bearer token.

API reference → Self-hosting? The same docs live at /api/docs on your server.
capture-task.sh 
# List your spaces
$ curl https://app.will-be-done.app/api/v1/spaces \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $WBD_TOKEN"

# Drop a task straight into your stash
$ curl -X POST \
    ".../api/v1/spaces/$SPACE_ID/stash/tasks" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $WBD_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"title": "Reply to the Q2 thread"}'
