What is Taskbook?
Taskbook is a free and open-source task management application designed for productivity and collaboration. It provides a simple yet powerful interface that allows users to capture, organize, track, and manage tasks and projects from start to finish.
With Taskbook, users can break down large projects into individual actionable tasks, set due dates, tag tasks for better organization and filtering, set reminders so no task gets overlooked, add comments and attachments for more context, and mark tasks as complete to track progress. It supports workflows like GTD (Getting Things Done) to turn ideas and to-dos into actionable tasks that actually get done.
The application comes with boards, lists, and calendar views so users can organize their tasks however they like. Boards allow users to visually group tasks and projects, while calendar views provide an at-a-glance overview of all upcoming due dates. Advanced features like project templates, dependencies, recurring tasks, and time tracking help streamline repetitive tasks.
In addition to personal use, Taskbook also enables seamless collaboration for teams and organizations. Users can create shared projects and task lists, @mention colleagues in comments or task names, assign tasks to other users, and get visibility into what everyone is working on. With its simple sharing and permissions options, Taskbook makes task management accessible yet secure.
As an open-source project, Taskbook is completely free to use and allows power users to host on their own servers for ultimate data privacy and customization. Its intuitive interface makes task management simple for beginners while still packing robust productivity features for demanding workloads, making Taskbook a versatile pick for individuals and teams alike.
