🔒 Security
Local storage. No credentials. Low risk.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
An individual developer or agent builder wants a simple, dependency-free task store for AI agents — tracking tasks locally without requiring external service accounts.
Avoid When
You need multi-user collaboration or have an existing task system. This adds another task store rather than integrating with existing workflows.
Use Cases
- • Creating and tracking tasks from AI productivity agents
- • Managing task priorities and completion status from workflow agents
- • Maintaining a lightweight task backlog for AI-assisted personal productivity
- • Integrating simple task tracking into AI agent workflows
Not For
- • Teams using established task systems (Todoist, Linear, Jira) — use those MCPs
- • Multi-user or team task management (personal use focus)
- • Complex project management with dependencies and milestones
Interface
Authentication
Local task storage — no authentication required.
Pricing
Free open source by flesler.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Task data stored locally — not synced across machines without additional setup
- ⚠ Simple schema — may not support all task fields needed for complex workflows
- ⚠ flesler is a respected JS contributor (author of jQuery.serializeObject, etc.) — quality likely adequate
- ⚠ No recurring tasks or reminders — pure CRUD task store
