WackyTracky

WackyTracky is a minimal, keyboard-friendly task and list tracker. It gives you simple task and list tracking with a clean interface that works well for power users and GTD-style workflows.

What you can do

  • Tasks and lists — Organize tasks into lists, with support for nested tasks, tags, and contexts.

  • todo.txt compatibility — The default storage uses the todo.txt format, so your data stays in plain text files you can edit or sync with other tools.

  • Self-hosted — Run it yourself with Docker; your data stays on your machine or server.

Get started

  1. Install with Docker Compose — Recommended way to run WackyTracky. One docker-compose.yml and a small config file are all you need.

  2. Choose a backend — WackyTracky can store tasks in different backends. todo.txt is the default and recommended option and is where most development and testing happens. Other options: Neo4j, YAML files.
