Self-Hosted Task Manager That Auto-Reschedules Incomplete Tasks

saas real project •• multiple requests

Self-hosters want a task manager that automatically rolls incomplete tasks forward to the next day, adjusts dependent tasks, and recalculates schedules when things slip. Amazing Marvin does this but isn't self-hostable. Every self-hosted option (Vikunja, Tududi, Tasks.md) lacks automatic rescheduling entirely.

builder note

Don't try to build a full task manager. Build a scheduling layer or plugin for Vikunja instead. The self-hosted community adopts faster when you extend what they already run rather than asking them to switch.

landscape (3 existing solutions)

The self-hosted task management space has solid options for basic task tracking but zero options with intelligent scheduling. Auto-reschedule is the most requested missing feature across multiple platforms. The only tool that does it (Amazing Marvin) is proprietary SaaS.

Vikunja Best self-hosted task manager overall but has no auto-reschedule or rollover feature. Tasks that miss their date just sit there.

Amazing Marvin Has rollover feature but is a hosted SaaS product. Not self-hostable. Subscription-based.

Tududi Self-hosted and has API, but no scheduling intelligence. Would need custom automation to achieve rollover.
