Cfait: Todo & Task Manager

Trougnouf (Benoit Brummer)

About this app

Take control of your TODO list.



Cfait is a powerful, elegant, and open-source CalDAV (and/or local) task manager. Designed for speed and stability using Rust, it puts you in control of your data with a local-first approach that syncs seamlessly across your devices.



Why Cfait?

• Open Source & Cross-Platform: Use Cfait on Android, Linux, and Windows. Your tasks adhere to open standards (CalDAV), not walled gardens.


• Syncs Everywhere: Fully compatible with Nextcloud, iCloud, Radicale, Xandikos, and other standard CalDAV servers.


• Offline First: Optimistic UI updates mean you never wait for a server response. Use the persistent "Local" calendar for offline tasks and migrate them to a server later.


• Smart Input: Add tasks naturally. Typing "Buy cat food !1 @tomorrow ~15m" automatically sets the priority, due date, and duration.

Productivity Features

• GTD Workflow: Mark tasks as Needs Action, In Process (>), Cancelled (x), or Done.


• Hierarchy: Create sub-tasks, promote children, and organize nested lists.


• Dependencies: Link tasks using "Blocked-by" or "Child-of" logic (RFC 9253).


• Tags & Aliases: Organize with hierarchical tags (e.g., #work:backend). Create inline aliases (e.g., #shop=#home,#buy) for rapid filing.


• Sane Sorting: Tasks are sorted by Status > Start Date > Due Date > Priority.

Smart Syntax Guide


When adding or editing a task, use these shortcuts:

• !1 to !9: Set Priority (1 is Critical, 9 is Low).


• @date: Set Due Date (e.g., @tomorrow, @2025-12-31, @2w).


• ^date: Set Start Date (hides task until date).


• ~duration: Estimate time (e.g., ~30m, ~2h).


• @every X: Set Recurrence (e.g., @daily, @every 2 weeks).

Advanced Search


Find exactly what you need with powerful filters:

• is:active / is:done: Filter by status.


• ~<30m: Find tasks taking less than 30 minutes.


• !<3: Find high-priority tasks.


• @<today: Find overdue tasks.
