Tend

A personal task and habit manager that keeps a long to-do list from getting overwhelming.
Tasks sort into two intent-based lanes, habits build streaks, and a lightweight insights panel nudges you toward what matters today.

Built with Laravel + Inertia + Vue, with a clean, Splitwise-inspired interface.

Features

• Two-lane tasks — separate Important (act now) from Eventual (later) so the "do now" set stays small and honest.
• Habit tracker — daily and weekly habits with one-tap check-off, current and longest streaks, and a contribution-style calendar grid.
• Insights — a small, deterministic engine that flags overdue work, an overloaded Important lane, at-risk streaks, and a suggested focus for the day.
• Self-hostable — multi-user auth out of the box (login, registration, password reset, 2FA, passkeys).

📸 Screenshots

Screenshots are auto-generated from the seeded demo account by the screenshots workflow.

Hosting

Tend is free and open source — self-host it anywhere PHP and Postgres run.

Prefer not to run a server? A managed, always-up hosted option is in the works for a small monthly fee, as a convenience alternative to self-hosting. (Link coming soon.)

Tech stack

• Laravel 13 (PHP 8.4+)
• Inertia 2 + Vue 3 (TypeScript)
• Tailwind CSS 4 + Vite
• PostgreSQL (Docker for local dev)
• Pest 4, Pint, PHPStan/Larastan

Local development

Requirements: PHP 8.4+, Composer, Node 20+, Docker.

# 1. Install dependencies
composer install
npm install

# 2. Start Postgres (Docker)
docker compose up -d

# 3. Set up the app
cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate

# 4. Run the app (server + queue + Vite)
composer dev

The app runs at http://localhost:8000. Postgres is published on host port 55435 (configurable via FORWARD_DB_PORT). The app and Vite run on the host; only the database lives in Docker.

Tests

php artisan test          # Pest, in-memory SQLite
./vendor/bin/pint --test  # code style
./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --memory-limit=1G
