What is tasks?
HamsterBase Tasks is a task management application for creators who want full control over their data. It uses a local-first architecture where all information stays on your device and is encrypted end-to-end, so even the developers cannot read it. The app works completely offline and can synchronize across devices when you run the optional self-hosted sync server via Docker. Native apps exist for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android, plus a web version. The self-hosted server runs as a Docker container (hamsterbase/tasks) on port 3000 with an optional AUTH_TOKEN for stable sync tokens. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 and offers a free tier with unlimited tasks, plus paid Pro and Lifetime tiers for cloud-synced databases and cloud inbox features.
