Quipu is a keyboard-first client for Vikunja, the open-source, self-hosted task manager. If you live on a hardware keyboard — on iPad with a Magic Keyboard, or on a Mac running your iPad apps — Quipu lets you fly through your tasks without ever touching the screen.
FAST BY DESIGN
Every action has a single-key shortcut: j/k to move, e to edit, y to add to Today, x to mark done, / for a command palette that finds any action by name. Shortcuts are fully remappable to match how you already think.
TODAY FOCUS
Pick a handful of tasks each morning and Quipu keeps you there — a daily planning prompt, a dedicated Today view, and a clean reset every day so yesterday's picks never pile up on today's.
KANBAN, YOUR WAY
Switch any project to a Kanban board (To-Do / Doing / Done, mirroring Vikunja's own buckets) and move cards between columns with a keystroke or a drag.
QUICK CAPTURE, FROM ANYWHERE
A "New task from clipboard" shortcut, a share-sheet-free URL scheme for Shortcuts automations, and a home screen widget for one-tap capture straight to your Inbox. Drop an email from Mail, a file, or a link onto a task list and Quipu turns it into a task — small files become notes, bigger ones become a real attachment.
MULTI-SERVER, MULTI-DEVICE
Connect as many Vikunja servers as you use, switch between them instantly, and sync your settings across your own devices via iCloud Keychain.
MADE FOR YOUR HANDS
Full support for nesting tasks and projects with Tab, quick-add "magic" (@labels, !priority, due dates and #project, all typed inline), light/dark appearance that follows the system (or your own choice), and eight accent colors to match your taste.
Quipu is free, open source, and doesn't run any analytics or ads. It needs a Vikunja server — self-hosted or hosted by a provider of your choice — to connect to.

Optimized for iPhone Duo.
• Unfolded, the inner display shows projects, the task list and the task details side by side. When three columns don't fit, the projects sidebar steps aside while you work on a task and comes back when you close it.
• The divider between the list and the details sits right on the fold, so no panel is split by the hinge.
• Half folded on its side, like a small laptop: the top half shows your tasks and the bottom half becomes an always-there quick capture pad, with the same shortcuts (@tag, #project, &user, dates, priority, dictation). What you just added is listed below it.
• Folding keeps what you were doing: an open task stays open on the outer display, and text you were typing in the capture pad is kept.
• The keyboard still rules: n starts a capture, esc goes back to the list, and h / l switch panels on both displays.
New: dictate several tasks at once.
• Tap Dictate several tasks in the new task form (or press D, or use the command palette) and say all your tasks in one go. Your phone splits them by itself without sending your voice to any server: with Apple Intelligence it uses the on-device model, otherwise pauses and phrases like "next task", "then", "and also" or "siguiente tarea".
• Projects, people and tags you mention that already exist on your server are assigned automatically, even when you don't say the exact name (capitals, accents, plurals or just a first name). Anything without a project goes to your default project.
• Before anything is created you see the list: edit titles, project, people and tags, remove or merge tasks, then tap Create all. All of it works from the keyboard too (Cmd-Return create, Option-Up/Down move, Cmd-Delete remove, Cmd-J merge).
