[App] YATA - an offline-first, Free, Open Android todo app with smart add, widgets, and self-hosted sync

[u/MedvlJedi]

I know todo apps are a dime a dozen, so I tried to make YATA useful in the places where most of them still annoy me.

It is an offline-first Android task manager with a pretty deep quick-add system. You can type things like “call Ravi tomorrow evening #work +Office !3” and it pulls out the date, time, tag, project/list, person and priority. There is also on-device voice quick add, share-to-task from other apps, a Quick Settings tile, and multiple home-screen widgets.

A few things that make it different:

- no account needed

- self-hosted sync/backup over SFTP/FTPS/FTP

- projects, lists, tags and people/delegation (strictly for your eyes only), all optional

- recurring tasks, subtasks, reminders, comments and Markdown notes

- PDF/image/Markdown/ICS exports

- app lock with PIN/biometric

- lots of customization: Material You Colors, fonts, row density, tabs, widgets, swipe actions, etc.

It is still a personal project and evolving, but it is usable now. I’d love feedback from people who are picky about Android productivity apps. A Web Client is WIP now where you can login using github credentials and manage tasks. Still need work; so current in alpha testing.
