What is it?

HamsterBase Tasks is a task and project planning app aimed at creators who want to organize ideas and turn them into finished work. Data is stored on the user's device first, so the app responds immediately without waiting on a server, and it keeps working offline, syncing once a connection is available.

Sync runs across devices such as phones and laptops, and content is protected with end-to-end encryption so that even the developers cannot read decrypted data. Users keep their data locally, which makes backups and edits possible without restrictions.

The project is available as a free web version that needs no registration, as a downloadable app, and as a self-hosted deployment. The Android app can be built from source, and the code is licensed under AGPL-3.0.
