Features

Status: Active. This is the canonical inventory of what ɳTasks does today, checked against the actual mobile, web, and backend code. Every entry is either shipped and working (Active), working but not fully rolled out everywhere (Beta), on the roadmap (Planned), or explicitly noted as backend-only or partial.

Desktop offline fallback	Active	Desktop app shows a fallback screen when it can't reach the backend, instead of a blank window

Push notifications

Feature	Status	Description
Mobile push (iOS/Android)	Blocked on credentials	Token registration against np_device_tokens and both transports (FCM HTTP v1, APNs HTTP/2) are implemented; delivery needs FCM/APNS credentials this project does not hold
Notification types	Partial	Produced today: task assigned, due-date reminder, evening digest. shared_list and list_update exist in the schema and nothing inserts them
Multi-channel delivery	In-app	Push is credential-gated (above); notification email has no producer yet. List invites do send email where SMTP is configured.
Notification center	Active	Bell with unread badge on web and mobile, over the same np_notifications rows and mark-read mutation
Smart batching	Planned	No batching code exists on any surface (verified 2026-08-24)
Web push	Planned	Not implemented. Web shows notifications in the in-app notification centre.

Account security

Feature	Status	Description
Email + password auth	Active	Hasura Auth, JWT-based
MFA	Active	Both backend and frontend UI are real: the backend tracks state in task_users.mfa_enabled (server source of truth, read-only to the app), and there's a dedicated setup screen on mobile (MfaSetupScreen) and a Security tab on web (SecurityTab) that reads and reflects that server state
Account lifecycle	Active	Change email, change password, delete account, export data, exposed as backend API routes on web
Server-URL switching (mobile)	Active	Point the mobile app at a different backend (self-hosted or hosted) without reinstalling

Drag-and-drop upload	Active	Drop files directly onto a task (web)
File preview	Active	Type-aware icons for images, documents, etc.
Download and delete	Active	Full file lifecycle
Per-attachment size limit	Active	10MB default, configurable server-side

User preferences

Feature	Status	Description
Theme	Active	Light, Dark, System
Time format	Active	12-hour or 24-hour
Default list	Active	Choose which list opens first

Cross-platform targets

See Apps for a full breakdown of what's shipped, in progress, or blocked on credentials for each surface.

Target	Status
Web (task.nself.org)	Active
Desktop (macOS/Windows/Linux)	Shipped, unsigned builds; signed/notarized builds pending Apple and Windows certs
Mobile (Android)	Active, APK available
Mobile (iOS)	Blocked on Apple Developer signing and a dependency fix, see Apps
TV (Apple TV / Android TV)	Early preview, builds locally, no store release yet

Limitations

• Move-between-lists in bulk operations is Planned, not built.
• Web push notifications are not implemented; web relies on in-app and email.
• TV is an early preview, not a finished app.
• iOS builds are currently blocked, see Apps for the specifics.
• Free plugins only. Paid bundles and pro plugins are out of scope for this repo by design.

Troubleshooting

Backend services don't start

Symptom: make up fails or services exit immediately. Fix: confirm .env exists (cp backend/.env.example backend/.env), free any conflicting ports (lsof -i :8080,4000,5432,9000), then make up again.

App can't reach the backend

Symptom: GraphQL calls fail with network errors. Fix: run cd backend && make health. If it's healthy, check the app's .env.local points at the right endpoint. Mobile simulators sometimes need your host machine's LAN IP instead of localhost.

Migrations out of date

Symptom: tables missing or schema doesn't match what's expected. Fix: cd backend && make migrate, then confirm with make migrate-status.
