Tracks
Organize tasks and projects using the Getting Things Done method.
Tracks is a self-hostable, open-source web application designed to help individuals implement the Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology. It solves the problem of managing tasks, projects, and contexts in a structured way, allowing users to organise their actions and focus on what needs to be done without being overwhelmed. The application is built with Ruby on Rails and includes a built-in web server, making it deployable on any platform where Ruby can run, including macOS, Windows, and Linux.
The application offers flexible views of actions sorted by context or project, with the ability to drag and reorder items. Users can add notes to projects and actions, mark projects as active, hidden, or completed, and hide contexts like "Someday/Maybe" from the home page. Features include tagging and starring actions for alternative organisation, due dates with a colour-coded traffic light system, and a tickler for scheduling future actions. Tracks also provides a statistics page to measure progress, feeds in text, iCal, and RSS formats, and an API for custom integrations. A lightweight mobile interface is accessible via a dedicated URL.
Tracks is intended for individuals, families, or small teams who want a self-hosted GTD tool. It is multi-user, with each user having their own contexts, projects, and preferences, while an admin controls account creation. The software is free and open-source under the GNU GPL license, with no pricing or tiered plans mentioned. Users can download the source code or deploy it via Docker, and a hosted version is not offered by the project itself.
