Host Vikunja without installing anything
The same tasks as a list, a kanban, a table or a Gantt chart — and a task list your phone picks up over CalDAV.
Starting at €4.99/month
Introduction
Vikunja installed, updated and backed up by us, on a machine in France. You install nothing and configure no server: the application is online a few minutes after you order, under your own name.
The plan that suits it is App Essentiel at €4.99/month incl. VAT — 2 GB of memory. Vikunja is a binary written in Go, served with a front end that fits in static files: the server side is remarkably frugal. What grows over time is the database — tasks, comments, attachments, histories — and the saved filters that cut across it. The headroom is there for projects that accumulate several years of tasks without anyone feeling like archiving them.
Vikunja knows how to fetch your data from wherever it currently lives: migrations are built in for Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To Do, projects, tasks, due dates and labels included. Once it is in place, most of the value is in the typing: one sentence creates the task with its date, its priority, its label and the person who will handle it. And because not everything should happen at a keyboard, lists are exposed over CalDAV: Thunderbird, a phone's Tasks app or a Mac's Reminders display them next to the appointments.
What managed hosting changes
Four views over the same tasks
List, kanban, table and Gantt chart show the same project without duplicating anything. You move between them depending on whether you are preparing a meeting, sorting a day or looking for the gap in the month.
Quick entry that understands the sentence
Typing "Chase the supplier tomorrow !2 *purchasing @claire" creates the task and sets the due date, priority, label and assignee in one go. That detail is what makes people actually write tasks down.
Your tasks in your calendar, over CalDAV
Vikunja exposes itself as a CalDAV task list. Thunderbird, an Android phone's Tasks app or a Mac's Reminders connect to it and show the due dates alongside the appointments.
Dependencies, repeats and saved filters
A task can block another, repeat every month, carry a reminder. Saved filters — "assigned to me and due this week" — become permanent lists of their own.
Why hand it over rather than install it
A freelancer following their files
One project per client, the list view for the day, the Gantt view on Monday morning to check the week holds up before accepting one more job.
A team of three
Tasks are assigned, commented on and linked — "this one waits for that one" — and a saved filter gives everyone their morning list without a meeting to build it.
A charity preparing its annual event
Repeating tasks for everything that comes round each year, reminders before the deadlines, and sub-projects to keep logistics apart from communications.
Someone who wants their tasks on their phone
The CalDAV link is enough: the phone's own Tasks app shows the due dates and ticks them off, with nothing else to install.
A move away from Todoist
The import brings across projects, tasks, dates and labels. You get your habits back the next day, without a subscription counted per user.
Hosted in France
In our own infrastructure in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, which we operate ourselves. Your lists stay with you, and the person on the phone speaks your language.
Frequently asked questions
All three migrations are built in: you connect the original account or drop in its export, and Vikunja rebuilds the projects, tasks, due dates, labels and sub-tasks. What does not travel is whatever is specific to each service — Todoist filters and karma, Trello Power-Ups — because there is nothing on this side to receive them.
No official app published on the stores. Two routes exist: the web interface, which adapts to a phone and can be added to the home screen, and the CalDAV link, which makes the tasks appear in the phone's native app. Community apps exist with varying maturity; we would rather not promise you one in particular.
They are two different tools. Planka is a living board, updated live, ideal when a team follows a visual flow. Vikunja thinks in tasks first: dates, priorities, dependencies, filters, and four views over the same data — one of which is a kanban. If your question is "where is this card", take Planka; if it is "what has to be done this week", take Vikunja.
Nothing. You choose the application, fill in the fields it asks for — often an email address and a name — and it goes online. Access arrives by email with the address and the credentials.
Yes, they are part of the service. Vikunja releases regularly, and the interface and the API move together: the update happens on both sides at once, which is more comfortable to hand over than to run yourself.
