The project is still under development and the native apps are not final yet, but the web version works great. Offers an import feature from Todoist, Trello and Microsoft To-Do.

A hardened pick. Worth the effort once you have chosen to shrink your footprint on purpose. Enough for most people. Threat levels
Our take
A self-hostable to-do and project app that genuinely imports from Todoist, Trello, and Microsoft To-Do, which makes leaving those services far less painful. Two honest caveats: it is unencrypted, so privacy comes from you owning the server, and the native apps are still rough while the web version carries the load. A strong pick for people who will self-host and want their task data off a big vendor; less so if you need polished mobile apps today.

Vikunja license, in plain English
AGPL-3.0 Strong copyleft · network
Free to use, even commercially. Changes must be published under the same license, and running a modified version as a network service counts as distributing it.

Why it matters: The network clause is the point. Anyone who runs a modified version as a hosted service has to publish those changes, so the code handling your data stays inspectable. This is why privacy-first projects reach for AGPL.
