What Openza Tasks is

Openza Tasks is a free, local-first desktop task manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It stores tasks, projects, labels, backups, imports, provider snapshots, account identifiers, and preferences on your device, and it can work without an account or another connected service. You can organize work with projects, labels, dates, priorities, notes, saved views, and subtasks. Markdown checkboxes can be imported, and tasks can be exported as Markdown files. Local backups and automatic or manual SQLite restore points support rollback within the app package state. Optional connections add Todoist and Microsoft To Do synchronization, GitHub issue creation and linking, and OneDrive backup snapshots. The project says it collects no telemetry, analytics, or personal usage data, runs no hosted sync service, and does not sell user data. Provider sync, GitHub actions, and OneDrive backups send data to those selected services. Windows uses Credential Locker for credentials, while Linux uses Secret Service. The source and documentation are MIT-licensed, and Deependra Solanky maintains the project.
