What Donetick is
Donetick is an open-source task manager for individuals, families, friends, and teams, with recurring schedules, reminders, and shared assignments. Users can create tasks with natural-language descriptions; Donetick says it recognizes dates, priorities, and labels. Tasks can repeat daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, adaptively, or on custom schedules, and can include subtasks, tags, templates, and other organization details. Groups can share, assign, and manage tasks using round-robin, least-busy, random, or custom assignment rules. Reminders are available through the app, Telegram, push notifications, and webhooks. The site also lists a REST API and automation tools. Donetick is available on the web, iOS, and Android, or can be self-hosted using Docker, Docker Compose, or a downloaded binary. Accounts can use two-factor authentication, and long-term access tokens can authenticate external API requests. Task photos and profile pictures can use S3-compatible storage, including Amazon S3, Cloudflare R2, and MinIO. The Basic plan is listed as free; Thing-based task triggers are unavailable on that plan.
