Taskwingo is a fully offline, privacy-first desktop task manager. All your data stays on your machine — no accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions. It supports multiple profiles on a single PC, making it perfect for managing different identities, clients, or projects without mixing things up.

• Create, edit, delete, and reorder tasks with drag-and-drop
• Priority levels — Urgent, High, Medium, Low — with color indicators, clickable to cycle directly from the card or detail view
• Status tracking — To Do, In Progress, Done — toggle directly from the task card
• Deadlines with overdue and upcoming visual warnings (correctly suppressed once a task is marked done)
• Reminders with desktop notifications — checked centrally across all profiles, not just the one currently selected
• Recurring tasks — Daily, Weekdays, Weekly, Monthly
• Tags for flexible labeling and filtering
• Subtasks with progress tracking, inline rename, and drag-to-reorder
• Rich text notes — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, bullet lists, numbered lists, headings, and clickable links
• File attachments — images, PDFs, videos, audio, Word docs, spreadsheets
• Archive — move completed or stale tasks out of the main list without deleting them, restore anytime

• Projects — group tasks under color-coded projects
• 3 views — List, Kanban board, Calendar
• Filters — filter by priority, status, project, search, and sort order
• Export — CSV, JSON, HTML report, or full profile bundle
• Import — import tasks from JSON

• Create multiple independent profiles on one PC
• Per-profile avatar, bio, and saved links
• Per-profile theme and date format — each profile keeps its own preference, no longer shared globally across every profile
• PIN lock per profile — set, change, or remove
• Auto-lock after configurable idle time
• Custom accent color per profile
• App remembers which profile you were last using and reopens on it automatically

• 4 themes — Dark, Light, Night, Summer — set independently per profile
• Custom accent color (11 choices)
• 4 date format options — Month D, Year, ISO YYYY-MM-DD, DD/MM/YYYY, MM/DD/YYYY
• Minimize to system tray on close (default; toggleable in Settings → Window Behavior if you'd rather the app fully quit)
• In-app zoom controls in the title bar, plus Ctrl +/Ctrl -/Ctrl 0 shortcuts, clamped between 50–200% so it can never get stuck
• Checks GitHub Releases for new versions on launch and notifies you — never auto-installs, just tells you when something's available
• Window size and position remembered between sessions
• Fully offline — no internet required, no telemetry (the only outbound network call is the optional release-version check above)

This release is a major stability and polish pass — every item below started as a real bug report or a real feature request, not a speculative change.

Fixed:

• Reminders now fire at the correct time, never early, and are checked centrally across every profile instead of only whichever one happens to be selected
• Deadline dates no longer shift back a day depending on your timezone
• The task detail panel and edit panel no longer close themselves when you select text and your cursor drifts outside the panel while still holding the mouse button
• Cancelling an edit no longer silently keeps changes you tried to discard
• The right-click task menu no longer renders behind the next task card or behind the Windows taskbar when there isn't room below it
• The right-click menu and notes preview on completed (dimmed) tasks no longer render at the wrong opacity or behind sibling cards — a CSS stacking-context issue
• Numbered and bulleted lists in task notes no longer spill outside their container
• CSV, JSON, and HTML report export now actually write the file (previously only the full profile bundle export worked)
• The "electron.app.Electron" notification title now correctly reads "Taskwingo"
• Ctrl+Shift+I (DevTools) is now blocked in every mode, not just production builds
• The app no longer silently applies the wrong profile's settings — theme, date format, and auto-lock are now genuinely per-profile, matching how accent color already worked
• The app remembers and reopens on whichever profile you were last using, instead of always defaulting to the first one
• Removed the redundant "Save Profile Settings" button — every setting now saves the instant you change it

Added:

• Strikethrough formatting and clickable links in rich text notes
• Archive — move tasks out of the main list without deleting them, restore anytime from Archive view
• Drag-to-reorder subtasks, with inline renaming
• Click any priority badge to cycle through Urgent → High → Medium → Low
• In-app zoom controls (title bar buttons + keyboard shortcuts), clamped so it's never possible to get stuck zoomed out
• A date format picker — choose between Month D, Year, ISO YYYY-MM-DD, DD/MM/YYYY, or MM/DD/YYYY
• Automatic check for new releases on GitHub, with an in-app banner and notification — never auto-installs, just lets you know, which can be disabled in settings
• A toggleable "keep running in the background" setting, instead of a fixed, undocumented tray behavior

Go to Releases and download the latest version for your platform:

• Node.js 20 LTS (v20.x recommended)
• npm 9+
• On Windows: Visual Studio Build Tools with "Desktop development with C++" workload (required for better-sqlite3)

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/gitwingo/taskwingo.git
cd taskwingo

# 2. Install dependencies
npm install

# 3. If better-sqlite3 fails on Windows, rebuild for Electron
npx @electron/rebuild -f -w better-sqlite3

npm run dev

# Windows (.exe installer + portable)
npm run dist:win

# macOS (.dmg)
npm run dist:mac

# Linux (.AppImage + .deb)
npm run dist:linux

Output goes to the dist/ folder.

All data is stored locally on your machine:

No data is ever sent to any server. The app works fully offline.
