Our verdict on Telu

Telu is a personal task manager that runs locally in a web browser as a self-contained HTML file. It is designed for solo users and small-scale personal workflows rather than collaborative teams. Tasks can carry priorities, categories, tags, notes, due dates and reminders, while filtering and sorting help organize larger personal lists. The app also includes monthly calendar and upcoming timeline views, giving users more than a basic checklist without requiring an account, cloud service, subscription or internet connection.

Pricing is straightforward: Telu has one paid plan at a one-time cost of £9, with no free plan or recurring subscription. That purchase includes the complete task manager, six themes, automatic backups and one-click restore. Platform coverage is broad, spanning web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. Its local approach also supports offline work, but moving tasks between devices depends on exporting and importing backup files. That makes Telu a fit for users who value local control and predictable pricing more than automatic synchronization.

The main trade-off is scope. Telu focuses on organizing an individual’s tasks through reminders, views, metadata and backups, rather than on shared workspaces or team coordination. Each team member needs a separate copy, so it is not the natural choice for delegated work or collaborative planning. Tasks are stored in browser localStorage, which keeps the application local but makes backup management important. Choose Telu for a low-cost, offline personal list that works across major platforms; choose another type of app if shared access or cloud-based synchronization is central to your workflow.
