hack-do

A matrix-themed task manager built with Flutter. Features vi-keybind text editing, time tracking, and peer-to-peer task syncing across devices on your local network.

Features

• Diagonal & tiling layouts — view tasks stacked in a 4-quadrant card deck or a responsive grid
• Vi-mode text editor — write progress notes with normal/insert modes, motions (hjkl, w, b, gg, dd), yank/paste
• Time tracking — per-task play/pause/reset timer with cumulative elapsed time
• Markdown progress notes — write and preview markdown in task descriptions
• Priority & color coding — low/medium/high priority badges, 6 card color themes
• Filters — cycle between all / ongoing / done views
• Local network sync — discover and sync tasks with other hack-do instances on the same LAN, LocalSend-style

Sync

hack-do includes peer-to-peer task syncing with zero configuration:

• Auto-discovery — UDP broadcast finds other hack-do instances on your local network
• Tap to sync — open the sync screen to see nearby devices on an animated radar, tap any device to sync
• Conflict resolution — last-modified-wins merge strategy with soft-delete propagation
• No server required — each instance runs an embedded HTTP server, all communication stays on your LAN
