New to Vikunja?

Vikunja is the open-source, self-hostable to-do app. It lets you organize all kinds of things, from your shopping list to a multi-month project with multiple team members. Different ways to view, filter and share your tasks make this a breeze.

Check out the features page to learn more about all of its features.

Highlights

Lists and Namespaces are now Projects

Since the beginning of Vikunja, it always had the concept of lists which hold a bunch of tasks and namespaces, which contain multiple lists. Originally, lists were just that: A simple list of multiple tasks.

Since then, lists have evolved significantly with support for gantt, kanban and more, representing no longer simple to-do lists but more and more complex projects. At the same time, namespaces felt like a big, bulky thing, a word used nowhere else than in programming contexts.

With this release, we rename lists to projects to make represent what they are actually used for and remove the concept of a namespace alltogether. Organizing multiple projects hierarchially was an important feature though - that's why projects are nestable for as many levels as you want, allowing for "subprojects" for the first time.

All of your existing namespaces will be converted to top-level projects containing the lists they previously contained.

Please note that importing a previous dump or export is not supported - please do a new dump instead of importing the old one.
