Pomodoist vs Vikunja

Pomodoist combines task planning with a Pomodoro focus timer and is an open-source alternative to Todoist. Planning features include an inbox, upcoming tasks, projects, timeline and kanban views, a priority matrix, filters, search, quick-add parsing, task decomposition, and CSV import. Focus sessions offer configurable breaks, focus tracking, and local sounds. Voice input can create tasks and recognize dates, projects, and tags from speech, while teams can share projects, assign work, and review activity history. Optional integrations include Google Calendar, Telegram Mini-App, Apple Watch and widgets, account sync, and voice input. The free plan includes tasks, projects, labels, a timer, and productivity reports, but keeps completed and deleted task history for only 90 days. Pro costs $29.99 per year and includes task history forever; Lifetime costs $99.99 per once. Listed platforms include macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, Windows, Linux, web, Telegram, and a Chrome extension in beta. Android is planned for October 2026. Self-hosting is available, with listed practical minimums including Docker Compose v2 and 4 GB RAM.

Vikunja is an open-source task and project management app that can be self-hosted or used through cloud plans. Tasks can be organized as lists, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, or tables, with due dates, reminders, repeating schedules, subtasks, labels, priorities, assignments, attachments, and relations. Projects can be shared with another user or team, or through a link that does not require an account. Vikunja includes CalDAV integration and migration support for Todoist, Trello, and Microsoft To-Do. The self-hosted core is free under the AGPLv3 license, but server maintenance, updates, and backups are self-managed. Paid cloud plans start with Personal at €4 a month, including 10GB of attachment storage. Family costs €10 a month for up to five users, while Organization costs €5 a month per user. Vikunja Cloud is hosted at Hetzner locations in Germany and Finland. Desktop apps are available for Linux and Windows; the maker notes that mobile apps support only very basic features.
