Taskist

Flutter-powered ToDo app with Firebase backend integration

Open-source task management mobile application built with Flutter and Firebase, offering cross-platform ToDo list functionality for iOS and Android.

Overview

Flutter Task Management for Mobile

Taskist is a cross-platform ToDo list application built entirely with Flutter and Dart, demonstrating modern mobile development patterns with Firebase backend integration. Designed for developers seeking a reference implementation or starting point for task management apps, it delivers native performance on both iOS and Android from a single codebase.

Technical Foundation

The project showcases Flutter's UI capabilities through a clean, design-driven interface while leveraging Firebase for real-time data synchronization and cloud storage. Developers can clone the repository and configure their own Firebase instance to deploy a fully functional task management solution. The MIT license permits modification and commercial use, making it suitable for learning, prototyping, or production adaptation.

Audience and Deployment

Ideal for Flutter developers exploring mobile app architecture, students learning cross-platform development, or teams needing a customizable task management foundation. The app is available on both Google Play and the App Store, providing a live reference implementation alongside the source code.

Highlights

Cross-platform Flutter implementation for iOS and Android
Firebase backend integration for real-time task synchronization
Clean, design-inspired user interface for task management
MIT licensed codebase ready for customization and extension

Pros

  • Single codebase deploys to both major mobile platforms
  • Real-world Firebase integration patterns for cloud-backed apps
  • Active community with 1,000+ GitHub stars
  • Permissive MIT license allows commercial use and modification

Considerations

  • Requires manual Firebase configuration before testing
  • Limited documentation beyond basic setup instructions
  • No built-in backend; depends entirely on external Firebase setup
  • Primarily a reference implementation rather than feature-complete product

Frequently asked questions

What Firebase configuration is required?

You must create your own Firebase project and add the configuration files (google-services.json for Android, GoogleService-Info.plist for iOS) to run the app. Firebase Authentication and Firestore should be enabled.

Can I use this commercially?

Yes, the MIT license permits commercial use, modification, and distribution with minimal restrictions. You can adapt Taskist for proprietary products.

Does it work offline?

Firebase Firestore provides offline persistence capabilities, but the extent of offline functionality depends on how you configure your Firebase instance and any customizations you make.

Is this actively maintained?

The repository shows zero open issues and serves primarily as a reference implementation. It may not receive frequent updates but provides a stable foundation for customization.

What Flutter version is required?

Check the pubspec.yaml file in the repository for specific Flutter SDK requirements. You may need to update dependencies when using newer Flutter versions.
