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.

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.
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.

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. :)

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

PS: add screenshots somewhere.

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