GoalsBreakDown

A web-based task management application focused on goal-oriented task tracking with a scroll-view interface.

Features

• Multi-user support with registration and authentication
• Goal management with activation/deactivation
• Task management with status tracking (todo/doing/pending/done)
• Focus rule: Only one "doing" task per goal
• Scroll-view task selector with drag-and-drop reordering
• Admin panel for user management
• Per-user goal limits

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• uv package manager

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone <repository-url>
cd GoalsBreakDown

# Create your local configuration from the example
cp config.example.py config.py

# Install dependencies with uv
uv sync

# Run the application
uv run python app.py

The application will start at http://127.0.0.1:5000

Default Admin Account

• Username: admin
• Password: admin123

Important: Change the default admin password after first login.

Configuration

Local configuration is managed via config.py (not tracked in git). Use config.example.py as a template:

# Copy the example config and edit it
cp config.example.py config.py

Available settings in config.py:

Setting	Description	Default
DB_PATH	SQLite database path	data/db.sqlite
DEFAULT_ADMIN_USERNAME	Default admin username	admin
DEFAULT_ADMIN_PASSWORD	Default admin password	admin123
DEFAULT_MAX_GOALS	Max goals per new user	5
SECRET_KEY	Flask session secret (change in production!)	—
DEBUG	Debug mode	True
HOST	Server bind address	0.0.0.0
PORT	Server port	5000

Production Deployment

1. Copy config.example.py to config.py
2. Change SECRET_KEY to a random secure string
3. Set DEBUG = False
4. Change default admin credentials
5. Use a production WSGI server (e.g., gunicorn):

uv run gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:5000 app:app

Note: The -b flag is required because gunicorn is a separate WSGI server and does not read Flask's config.py. The values in config.py (HOST, PORT) only apply to Flask's built-in dev server (app.run()).
