Everything you need
Built for real work, real homes, and real momentum
TaskIt combines strong task management, privacy-first hosting, and optional motivation systems in one lightweight app. The result: less juggling, less forgetting, and more follow-through.
Secure Group Invites
Invite people with secure links, QR codes, or email invitations, then manage members, admins, and shared XP visibility inside each group.
Reminders & Alerts
Choose email and browser reminders 7 days, 1 day, or on the day a task is due, plus in-app alerts for overdue and due-soon work.
Recurring Tasks
Repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly tasks automatically. Complete one occurrence and the next one is created for you.
Sporadic Tasks
Track unscheduled maintenance work like haircuts, boiler services, or gutter cleaning, and instantly see how long it has been since the last completion.
Long-term Goals
Keep aspirational goals in their own section until you are ready to turn them into deadline-driven tasks.
Calendar Integration
Subscribe to a private ICS feed in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook to keep TaskIt aligned with the rest of your schedule.
Subtasks & Notes
Break work into checklist steps, track progress visually, and keep timestamped progress notes for handovers, audits, or personal context.
Optional Gamification
Earn XP, unlock achievements, protect streaks with Freeze Credits, and see your progress by skill — only if you want that extra push.
Friends & Leaderboards
Add friends, share friend keys, and compare progress across leaderboards without turning the core product into a full-on game.

Why TaskIt! stands out
Most tools give you cloud convenience, self-hosted privacy, or motivation mechanics. TaskIt combines all three — while staying lightweight, flexible, and honest about what it does.
Privacy First
Uses SQLCipher at-rest encryption: your task history stays under your control.
Motivation Without the Gimmicks
TaskIt solves the motivation problem with optional XP, achievements, streaks, titles, and Freeze Credits — without forcing everyone into a role-playing game aesthetic.
Task Types Other Apps Ignore
Handle normal scheduled work, unscheduled maintenance, and long-term goals in one system instead of hacking together separate lists and reminders.
Fast on Any Device
Install as a web app on your phone.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask before they switch
Clear answers for search engines, AI crawlers, and the people deciding whether TaskIt belongs in their stack.
What is TaskIt best at?
TaskIt is strongest for personal tasks, shared household work, recurring maintenance, and small-team collaboration — with optional gamification layered on top.
Is TaskIt really free?
Yes. There is no subscription, no per-seat pricing, and no paid upgrade path. You host it yourself and keep the full feature set.
What makes TaskIt different from Todoist, Habitica, or Vikunja?
TaskIt sits in the gap between them: more private than cloud-only apps, more motivating than plain task managers, and more approachable than heavyweight self-hosted project platforms.
Does TaskIt work offline?
TaskIt can be installed as a PWA and caches its app shell for fast launch, but live task data, reminders, and calendar feeds still depend on your server being reachable.
Is the gamification mandatory?
No. XP, achievements, streaks, titles, and leaderboards are opt-in. If you just want task management, you can use TaskIt that way.
Who should use TaskIt?
It is a strong fit for privacy-focused self-hosters, families coordinating chores and maintenance, small teams with no software budget, and personal goal trackers who need more momentum than a plain to-do list gives them.
