What's new in OpenTodo and why, the thinking behind it, and how it's made. Written by the people who build it.
The app in six languages, statistics and a guided weekly review, filters by completion date, habits with streaks, custom fields, a display mode for wall tablets and e-ink, and host mode for running many servers in one process.
Every feature starts as a written specification. AI coding agents implement from it, a strict CI checks the result, and a person reviews every change before it's merged.
The best test of a tool is how easy it is to leave. Here is what OpenTodo gives you on the way out, and why I care.
An assistant in the app that proposes changes you review, assistants you already use making changes over MCP, and a command line ready for coding agents. All of it off until you turn it on.
What this blog is for, what you'll find here, and how to follow along.
Your task list is a record of your life. It deserves the same care as your photos and your documents.
