Task Coach
Free flexible open source todo manager featuring hierarchical tasks
Task Coach - Your friendly task manager. Task Coach is a free open source todo manager. It grew out of frustration about other programs not handling composite tasks well. In addition to flexible composite tasks, Task Coach has grown to include prerequisites, prioritizing, effort tracking, category tags, budgets, notes, and many other features. However, users are not forced to use all these features; Task Coach can be as simple or complex as you need it to be. Task Coach is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux; and there is a companion iOS app. -

TaskExplorer
Powerful system task manager
TaskExplorer is a powerful system task-manager / process-inspector tool designed for Windows that goes well beyond the capabilities of the built-in Task Manager. It provides real-time insights into running processes, threads, open handles, network sockets, memory usage, modules loaded, and more — all in a unified, fast, and efficient GUI. Rather than scattering information across tabs or dialogs, TaskExplorer displays detailed data in a panel layout: when you select a process, the lower panel updates dynamically to show relevant info (threads, handles, sockets, modules, etc.), making deep inspection quick and intuitive. It includes advanced panels: a Thread Panel with stack traces (helpful for diagnosing deadlocks or hangs), a Memory Panel that lets you view or even edit process memory (with search capabilities), a Socket Panel showing open network connections, data rates, pseudo-UDP connections (via ETW), and a Modules Panel listing all loaded DLLs and memory-mapped files. -

Taskell
Command-line Kanban board/task manager with support for Trello boards
Command-line Kanban board/task manager with support for Trello boards and GitHub projects. A CLI kanban board/task manager for Mac and Linux. Per project task lists, vim style key-bindings, stored using Markdown. Clean diffs for easy version control, support for sub-tasks and due dates, Trello board imports, and GitHub project imports. If you’re using a simple two-column “To Do” and “Done” then use the space bar to mark an item as complete while staying in the “To Do” list. If you’re using a more complicated column setup then you will want to use H/L to move tasks between columns. By default times are stored in the Markdown file as UTC. If you would like local times (and are unlikely to open the file in lots of different timezones) then you can set localTimes to true in the markdown section of the config file. -

AI Dev Tasks
A simple task management system for managing AI dev agents
AI Dev Tasks is a Markdown-based task management system for AI-assisted software development. It provides structured prompt files that guide an AI coding assistant through feature planning, PRD creation, task breakdown, and implementation checkpoints. The project is designed to work with AI-powered IDEs and CLI agents such as Amp, Claude Code, Windsurf, and similar tools. Instead of asking an agent to jump directly into code, users can follow a staged process that clarifies requirements before implementation begins. This helps reduce vague tasks, missed edge cases, and uncontrolled agent changes. ai-dev-tasks is most useful for developers who want repeatable AI workflows that turn feature ideas into organized implementation plans. -

orbit
Orbit is an issue and project tracker: create projects, track issues
Orbit started from a simple frustration: most issue trackers make you configure more than you ship. We wanted one place to plan a project, move issues through a workflow, and see progress add up, without the setup getting in the way of the work. How Orbit came to be A short path from a shared frustration to a tool we actually wanted to use. The problem Every tracker we tried asked us to configure more than we wanted to maintain, before a single issue got created. The first version One workspace: create a project, add issues, and move them through a workflow that made sense. Built for teams Roles, dashboards and notifications, so the whole team could rely on the same source of truth. Open and self-hosted Released as a self-hosted tool, so every team keeps full control of their own data. -
