Telu
What Telu is
Telu is a task manager delivered as a single HTML file that runs in a browser. It works on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and the maker says it works offline with zero network requests. Task data is stored in browser localStorage and is said never to leave the device. Tasks can have high, medium, or low priority, custom categories, tags, due dates, alerts, and visual indicators for overdue or due-today items. An upcoming timeline groups work by urgency, while a monthly calendar shows due dates. Each task has a notes field, and six themes are available: Slate, Dark, Warm, Forest, Midnight, and Rose. Telu can download scheduled backups, back up when the browser closes, and restore data with one click. The site lists Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. Mobile guidance covers opening the file in Safari on iPhone or iPad and Chrome on Android. Purchases are processed by Gumroad, which provides an email download link immediately. The Telu plan is listed at £9.00 per month and described as a one-time payment that lets you own it forever. There is no free plan.
