Track Your Routine – Open-source app for task management

[ssenssei]

I'm happy for you building this app, it's tremendous effort to build a flutter application, and this should feel like an achievement for you.

However, task management apps are so unbelievably common nowadays. Nothing that can't be solved by notepad on PC, or the clock/calendar app on my phone / and if I really need a task app, I'll use google's or build my own.

Your next step should be to take what you have learned from building this app, and focus on fixing a real problem that people around you face.

"To Do" or "Task Manager" apps seem to be just the most common thing to build after "hello, world." They are simple, easily scoped, something most people can intuitively understand, yet include all the basic features needed for any other app. So you can focus on how to implement rather than understanding what you are building.

Haha tysm for a positive feedback. This was my second project in Flutter (made this for sake of learning). Also I've built more advanced projects in Flutter but those a proprietary apps and one of em are on Play Store too :).

And yet, there are still basically no good task management apps for desktop. Todoist is the only one that comes to mind, but it's closed source and cloud/subscription based.

I'm really waiting for the desktop tasks.org client to come out. Until then, I can only manage my tasks from my phone, because no other FOSS apps come even close.

For anyone wondering it's AI coded it's not it's handwritten befor vibe coding was a thing (I should mention this in Readme). Yes readme is AI generated but not the code also anyone who is good at writing documentation this could be a nice opportunity for them to update readme and contribute to project. :)

I've been working on TYR (Track Your Routine), a Flutter-based task and routine tracking app. It's open source and built with Firebase for auth and data sync.

Key features: - Task creation with date/time scheduling - Local notifications for reminders - Real-time sync across devices via Firestore - Category-based organization (work, vacation, events) - Clean dark theme UI with Material Design 3

Tech stack: Flutter/Dart, Firebase Auth, Cloud Firestore, local notifications.

The app is still under active development, but the core functionality is working. I built it to solve my own need for a simple, privacy-focused task tracker that works across platforms (Android, iOS, Web, Desktop).

What I'd love feedback on: - The notification system implementation - UI/UX improvements - Feature suggestions - Code quality and architecture (it's my first larger Flutter project)

The codebase is MIT licensed and contributions are welcome. I'm particularly interested in feedback from Flutter developers on best practices I might be missing.

What do you think? What features would make this more useful for your workflow?

Consider also supporting remoteStorage <http://remotestorage.org/>, both so that you don't have to operate (admin/provision/whatever) services, and to make it easier for contributors (they don't need to prop something up, either, even if it is just Firebase). And just general user control over data.

If you run into any serious issues, you're likely to get a fair bit of interest on the remoteStorage community message boards to help work things out.

PS: add screenshots somewhere.

I can't seem to find any disclosure of it all being AI coded, but the readme style is a dead giveaway.

[paulglx]

Screenshots in the README would we nice :) + the writing style in the README gives slop smell

[beardsciences]

I was coming to look for a comment like this.

It may say more about me than the person writing these type of README's, but if I see more than one or two emojis in a README, I immediately assume it was fully generated rather than written.

[perrii]

Sure, Readme is AI generated not the code :)

Surely I'm not the only person who first used Linear [0] at work and then loved it so much that I started using it for personal task management...?

Sure it's not open-source, but none of the open-source tools are as polished as that.

[sidv22]

can you share how you're using it to track personal work?

[wodenokoto]

Just a shout out to the competing “habitica” which also tries to track (or maybe more encourage) routines rather than tasks.

Habitica got me started on flossing and made me quit Reddit (did eventually lapse on the Reddit thing, so maybe I need to reopen my account)

[sergsm]

Why no screenshots at all?

[bityard]

I don't mind low stakes vibe-coded applications per se, but the readme is LLM slop that I couldn't bring myself to keep reading.

[SoKamil]

It’s funny that almost all vibe coded software have this detailed tree project structure in README. If I recall correctly, this was not common in pre-LLM era. It was too much burden to maintain.

[andsoitis]

> low stakes vibe-coded applications

what gives you the confidence to express judgment that this is a low-stakes vibe-coded app, rather than something lovingly put together by a human?

[y-curious]

IMO if it didn’t have copious emoji, it would feel less sloppy. It’s a pet peeve I have with coworkers’ work lately, too

[js8]

It's not an app I need but in which way is the README a "slop"? It's quite to the point and contains everything one needs to know.
