For over a decade it has been my dream to bring Tasks.org to desktop. But between raising a family and holding down a job, that dream has always been out of reach. So I went full time on Tasks.org...
And you can now visit tasks.org/download to get early access to Tasks.org on macOS, Windows, and Linux! Sync with Tasks.org cloud, Google Tasks, CalDAV, and EteSync. Microsoft To Do support is coming soon.
Open source
Just like Tasks.org for Android, the new desktop app is 100% open source and ad-free, licensed under the GPLv3.
Name your price
Taking a 70% pay cut and draining my savings to build a task list app sounds like a midlife crisis. And maybe it is.
To get my wife to sign off on this plan, I needed a path to profitability. So, just like Tasks.org for Android, the desktop app can be unlocked with a name-your-price subscription, with a minimum of $1 per year.
One subscription unlocks both Android and desktop. If you already have a Google Play subscription or GitHub Sponsorship, you already have access.
Support
The desktop app is a work in progress, and feature parity with Android is going to take a while. If you run into any trouble, please contact me.
Windows troubleshooting
You may see warnings during download and installation because I have not set up build signing yet.
