Tududi

Tududi is an open-source, self-hosted task and project management application designed for individuals and small teams who want full control over their productivity data. Built on a Node.js backend with a React frontend and SQLite database, it combines a structured task hierarchy with integrations that match the capabilities of commercial tools — without subscriptions, data sharing, or vendor lock-in.

Common Use Cases

Individuals use Tududi as a private alternative to Todoist or Things 3, keeping personal tasks, projects, and notes on a server they control with no monthly fee. Developers and freelancers use the CalDAV sync to surface Tududi tasks in their existing calendar app (Apple Reminders, Thunderbird Lightning, tasks.org) for a unified view across tools. Teams with an identity provider (Google Workspace, Okta, Keycloak, Azure AD) enable OIDC authentication so members log in with existing credentials and projects are shared across the group. Users who spend time in Telegram connect the Tududi bot to create tasks and receive a daily digest of upcoming items without opening a browser. Power users invoke the REST API with personal API keys to build automations — importing tasks from webhooks, syncing with project management tools, or generating reports from task data. Those building habit systems alongside task tracking enable the optional Habits feature flag to track daily behaviours within the same application.

Why deploy Tududi on Hostinger VPS

Running Tududi on a Hostinger VPS means your task list, project notes, and productivity data stay on infrastructure you own — not inside a SaaS platform with opaque data retention policies. SQLite storage keeps the operational footprint minimal: one container, two persistent volumes, and no database service to manage or back up separately. Hostinger's one-click deployment handles HTTPS via Traefik automatically, so the app is reachable securely from any browser or CalDAV client on first start. As your needs grow — adding OIDC, CalDAV, or Telegram — each feature is an environment variable away, with no plan upgrade or pricing change required.
