OpenTodoList
OpenTodoList is a simple, open source app for keeping track of the things you want to remember: tasks, notes, images, recipes, and the little bits of everyday life that otherwise end up scattered everywhere.
It runs on phones, tablets, and desktop systems, and it is built around one important idea: your data should stay yours.

A Place For The Lists You Actually Use
OpenTodoList helps you organize information in libraries. A library can hold todo lists, notes, images, and recipes, so you can keep related things together instead of splitting them across several apps.
Use it for shopping lists, project notes, household tasks, travel plans, meal ideas, or whatever else needs a calm little home. Nothing about it forces you into one particular workflow.
Why People Choose OpenTodoList
- Local-first by default. You can keep a library only on your device.
- File-based storage. Libraries are stored as regular folders and files, so they are easy to back up and inspect.
- Sync when you want it. Synchronize libraries via Nextcloud, ownCloud, generic WebDAV servers, or Dropbox.
- Useful item types. Manage todo lists, tasks, notes, images, and recipes in one place.
- Cross-platform. Use it on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Open source. The app is licensed under the GNU GPL and developed in the open.
Stay In Control
Many productivity apps ask you to trust one specific service with everything. OpenTodoList takes a different route.
You can create a fully local library, use your own Nextcloud or ownCloud server, connect to another WebDAV storage provider, or sync a local library with a tool you already trust. That makes the app especially useful when your notes and tasks should not quietly wander off to a service you did not choose.
Built For Everyday Devices
OpenTodoList is available for mobile and desktop systems:
- Android
- iOS
- Linux
- macOS
- Windows
Because it is built with Qt and released as open source software, adventurous users can also build it for other systems.

OpenTodoList is intentionally a little different from many modern productivity apps. It gives you a useful place to organize your day, and then gets out of the way. Honestly, that is the whole trick.
