OpenTodo vs Todoist

Start with the shared task

Compare capture, dates, recurrence and everyday access before moving tasks. OpenTodo runs on a server you maintain, while the baseline workflow is a managed task service.

What the smaller product covers

• Projects can be organized as lists or boards, with sections and task assignments.
• Date-aware quick add, repeating tasks and reminders support everyday task planning.
• Official migration guides cover supported task apps; data remains in a server the user runs.

What still needs checking

• Self-hosted software rather than a managed Todoist subscription: budget for a server, updates, backups and remote access.
• The project is young. Public pages showed different version strings; omit a precise latest version unless rechecked at release time.
• The public demo is temporary sample data, not a durable place for real tasks.
