Looking for a new to-do and list maker (piefed.social)

I've been using Planka (https://planka.app/) for years, to manage my to-do lists and other general lists of things (like gifts given, movies I want to watch and so on). But it's been ages since I looked around for other, better apps. I really like the kanban board / trello approach they use as the lists are easy to maintain, add items to, and I can see the whole list in one glance.

I don't need fancy stuff (teams features, sharing, advanced triggers or other automation). It's just for me, running on my home server. Apps should be FOSS and installable via docker, ideally. I've looked at a few of the apps on selfh.st ( https://selfh.st/apps/?search=to-do ) but nothing stood out as really interesting.

Any apps you think of as new and interesting in this area?

Thanks!

EDIT: I've installed Vikunja and I'm giving it a try. So far, it was super easy to install and get started with. We'll see how it looks after a few days, but thanks all for the ideas shared here. 👋🙂

Thanks but CLI only is a deal breaker for me.

Fair enough! The lack of a cli is the deal breaker for Vikunja for me.

There is a WASM ticket being worked on that once it is completed will allow for all sorts of fancy web UIs for TaskWarrior as standalone PWAs or whatever. I should check in on how that’s going.
