A lightweight, self-hosted
task manager that puts your privacy first.

Capture, organize, and focus — without the noise. Your data stays on your server, under your control.

Yotara task management interface showing tasks organized by project in a clean, minimal UI

A quieter alternative

Todoist asks for a subscription. Vikunja asks for a lot of setup. Notion asks you to build your own system from a blank page. Yotara just works, on your own server.

Todoist

Solid app. Ongoing subscription. Your data lives on their servers.

Vikunja

Self-hosted, like Yotara. Heavier to set up and run.

Notion

Flexible enough to build anything. You have to build it yourself.

Yotara

Self-hosted, opinionated out of the box, free forever. Your data never leaves your server.

Focus on what matters

Projects and labels for organizing work without forcing a schema on it. Capture quickly, triage when you're ready.

Quick Capture

Hit the capture bar, type your task, and move on. Natural language parsing means “buy milk tomorrow” just works.

Projects & Labels

Group related tasks, set dates, tag with labels. Your inbox stays clean — triage when you’re ready, not when the task arrives.

Subtasks & Recurring

Break big tasks into steps. Set recurring schedules once and let them run — daily, weekly, or custom.

Rich Markdown

Write with markdown formatting and preview live. Format with the built-in toolbar — no syntax to memorize.

7 Handcrafted Themes

From Light Forest to Deep Trench. Every theme is handmade, not auto-generated. Light and dark modes included.

Self-Hosted

Your data stays on your server. No vendor lock-in. No tracking, no telemetry, no privacy concerns.

Three steps to clarity

Capture

Hit the capture bar, type your task, and move on. Natural language parsing means “buy milk tomorrow” just works.

Organize

Add to a project, set a date, tag with labels. Your inbox stays clean — triage when you’re ready, not when the task arrives.

Focus

Let Today and Upcoming views guide your attention to what matters.

Built in public. Self-hosted. Yours.
