#### A personal task tracker that works offline

l8tr ("later") keeps your tasks in named queues, labels them with tags and
lets you discuss them in comments. It is a server with a web app that runs
in any browser, can be installed to a phone's home screen, and keeps its
own copy of your data, so it opens and works with no connection and catches
up with the server when it is back. There is a REST API for scripts and
other programs too.

The server does not start on install: a fresh database has no accounts,
and browsers only install the app and run it offline over HTTPS, so the
public address is not something a package can guess. Make an account, give
it a password, say where the server will be reached, and turn it on:

```
 sudo l8tr account create -email you@example.org
 sudo l8tr account passwd you@example.org
 sudo snap set l8tr base-url=https://tasks.example.org
 sudo snap set l8tr server=true
```

The server listens on 127.0.0.1:8080 and speaks plain HTTP: put a reverse
proxy that terminates TLS in front of it. Set listen-addr to change where
it listens, for example to reach it from another machine on a network you
trust.

Programs that are not a browser sign in with an API token instead:

```
 sudo l8tr token create -name laptop you@example.org
```

The database lives in /var/snap/l8tr/common/l8tr.db, and is kept across
updates. Back it up by copying that file with the server stopped.

The stable channel carries tagged releases. Edge is built from every
commit to the main branch, for trying a fix before it is released.
