New version of Will Be Done is released! Will Be Done is offline-first, self-hosted task manager with visual weekly timeline.
The main idea is simple: collect tasks, put them on week timeline. I find that week timeline helps me stay more organised and fits naturally into my workflow. I can see what tasks done in which day, and what tasks planned previously in which day. Then, also, I missed other things, like open-source, offline-first, API, vim keybinds support.
It works offline-first, so tasks are stored locally in browser/desktop app(like Linear). You can open app and use it even when your server or homelab is down or no internet connection. When server is back, sync will sync changes between devices and server.
Main features right now:
- Offline-first task management. It will be still available and working if no internet connection
- Visual weekly planner
- Projects with columns
- Vim-style keyboard navigation
- Self-hosted server with SQLite as primary DB
- Fast sync between devices
- Recurring tasks
- Desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux
- Mobile PWA
- Todoist and TickTick import
And here is what changed since my last post:
- Added task checklists.
- Added Stash feature. You can store tasks that don’t have exact date yet, but you still want to keep them in focus.
- Added task action menu.
- Added mobile card details page.
- Added IndexedDB support for faster and more reliable local persistence. New installs use IndexedDB by default. Existing users can turn it on in settings page.

Self-host with Docker:
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 to hear feedback!
AI disclosure
- Design - architecture, system design: no AI involved. I’ve been working on local-first apps for ~5y and have been a software engineer for ~10y. I even built HyperDB, a database for local-first apps, because existing solutions such as Dexie and RxDB didn’t meet my needs.
- Implementation - Pair. From the start of project it was Hint, but now it's Pair.
- Testing - Generated.
- Documentation - Pair.
- Review - Pair. I have coderabbit AI + greptile, but also do manual review.
- Deployment - Pair.
Nah, it will very hard to do. I wanted it to be fast from the start, so I was playing with sync and how I store data in browser.
