What Tasker is

Tasker is a free, open-source web application for personal productivity and scheduling. It can be self-deployed and organizes tasks into sections, daily plans, calendar views, and productivity statistics. Task entries may include dates, times, durations, notes, priorities, statuses, and task, event, or time-block types. Planning screens include Today, Plan My Day, Stacked Planner, Calendar, Next 7 Days, Overdue, Inbox, and Unscheduled. A dashboard reports completed and pending work, completion streaks, section counts, and a GitHub-style heatmap. Markdown notes can be imported. Global and task-specific keyboard shortcuts support creation, search, planning, completion, undo, and navigation, with custom shortcuts kept in browser local storage. Basic recurrence supports daily, weekly, and monthly patterns. Deployment can use Cloudflare Pages, Pages Functions, and Cloudflare D1 without an always-on Node.js server. API routes cover tasks, sections, and statistics. The project recommends adding authentication and protecting the raw Pages hostname.
