Will Be Done review
A free, open-source planner for offline weekly task management and self-hosting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Will Be Done is an open-source, local-first to-do list app built around visual weekly planning. It is aimed at individual users who want to assign tasks to specific days, organize projects with kanban-style sections, and keep task data available offline. Recurring tasks support daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly rules, while descriptions, checklists, desktop applications, keyboard navigation, and a global quick-add shortcut support day-to-day task capture. Access is available through the web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and a mobile-ready PWA.
Pricing is straightforward across three plans. Cloud Alpha costs $0 per month and includes sync across all devices, every feature, no usage limits, and no card required. Cloud costs $3 per month with sync across all devices, every feature, and no usage limits; the published positioning states that this price applies after release. Self-hosted costs $0 forever and provides Docker deployment, SQLite storage, and no paid tier. That combination makes the product particularly relevant for users who want control over deployment or prefer to keep their task system local.
The strongest differentiator is the blend of visual planning and offline operation. A local database supports offline use, while the HTTP API has OpenAPI documentation for users who want programmatic access. Desktop applications extend the workflow beyond the browser, and the documented integrations include Todoist and TickTick. The trade-off is mobile platform maturity: mobile access is currently delivered through a mobile-ready PWA, with native iOS and Android app-store builds planned. Choose Will Be Done for open-source ownership, weekly planning, and self-hosting; choose another app if native mobile store apps are essential today.
