OpenTodo

Hosted OpenTodo: a to-do list and task manager that reminds you before things slip, with an assistant on ElfHosted’s included AI.

Early Access

OpenTodo is a brand-new addition to ElfHosted, and is considered beta. It runs, we test it, and your trial lets you check it fits before you commit. Our team is still building up experience with it, so lean on the upstream documentation, experiment freely, and share what you learn in Discord, where the community and team are working these new apps out together.

What is OpenTodo?

OpenTodo is an open-source to-do and task manager. Group your tasks into projects, give them due dates and reminders, and let routines bring back the jobs that come round every week. It’s quick enough for a shopping list and organised enough for a house move.

Key Features

• Projects and tasks: Due dates, notes and reminders on every task.
• Routines: Repeating jobs come back on their own, from the bins to the monthly bills.
• Push notifications: Reminders reach your phone or browser when they’re due.
• Time tracking: See where the hours went on a task or a project.
• On your phone: Install it as a web app, or use the Android app.
• The whole household: Invite your family, each with their own account.

Works With

• ElfHosted’s included AI: The built-in assistant comes ready to use, with no API key. It reads your tasks and suggests changes, and nothing changes until you confirm. Each person agrees once before their first chat, and the owner can change the provider or switch it off.
• Your AI assistant, through MCP: Connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop or another MCP client with a personal API token. Letting an assistant make changes takes the owner’s say-so and your own “Allow AI assistants” switch.

Why Run OpenTodo on ElfHosted?

A to-do list has to be there every time you reach for it, or you stop trusting it. ElfHosted keeps OpenTodo running, so the reminder turns up when it should.

• Part of the Flex collection: Run OpenTodo alongside other everyday apps on a Flex plan.
• Managed and maintained: Your instance is ready in minutes and we keep it updated. Sam, our AI helper, answers questions, and our team on Discord helps when Sam can’t.
• Backed up every day: A consistent copy of your tasks is backed up daily. Restore to an earlier date from your ElfBot dashboard, or ask Sam to do it.
• Simple subscription: One flat monthly price with a 7-day trial, cancel anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?
Open OpenTodo from your ElfHosted dashboard and sign in with your ElfHosted login. The first account you create becomes the owner.

How does my family join?
Sign-up is closed, so only people you invite can join. Each of them gets their own tasks and projects.

Does the Android app work?
Yes. It handles the ElfHosted sign-in itself, so you log in once and your tasks are there.

Can I support the people who make OpenTodo?
Please do. Star the project on GitHub, report bugs upstream, or sponsor its developer.
