I'm looking for some project / task management software that allows me
to view tasks across multiple "project" (or whatever term the app
uses). Basically the idea is that we have a household "project"
(currently in Trello) that my wife and I both work on but I also have
many side projects that I work on I need to keep separate. However, I
want one unified view across all projects where I can see what should
be worked on next, what's overdue, what she's working on, etc.

**Requirements:**

* **Cross-project views** (must have)
* **Mobile support**  (my wife work mostly on mobile for her tasks)
* **Kanban support** (might be flexible on this but would really like
it)

So far I've tried the following and either they are overloaded with
features I don't need, ugly, or in most cases don't have the cross-
project view I need.

* Openproject (overkill and ugly / unintuitive interface)
* Focalboard (simple, decent, mobile is in beta, but no cross-project
views)
* leantime (no cross-project view)
* taiga (no cross-project view)
* Plane (closest so far but only has "spreadsheet view" for cross-
project view). The [Docker
install](https://github.com/makeplane/plane/blob/preview/docker-
compose.yml) also requires like 9? images / containers which seems
pretty heavy

Vikunja might be up your alley. You can share projects, but I don't
know if it will satisfy your "view" you are talking about but I think
it will. I only use it for myself but I know you can share projects,
assign tasks, make deadlines, etc.

You can change between 4 views, checklist, Gantt, kanban, and table.
All of them work off the same data so you aren't sick with just a
single view.

Don't use the I official mobile apps... They stuck. You are better off
using the browser on your phone.

Holy shit on the surface this sounds almost too good to be true.
Simple and modern interface, no bloated features I don’t need, and
even some cross project features I don’t list as requirements but kind
of wanted.

> Relate different tasks together - even if they're not in the same
project! A relation can be multiple things, for example a subtask or
blocking task.

Will give it a try, thanks!

Nextcloud deck works great and offers an 'upcoming cards' view and
integrates with tasks: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nextcloud+deck&t=fpas

Good to know, thanks. I might check it out if Vikunja suggested by
someone else doesn’t workout. It seems to have a lot of features I’m
looking for.

I used Projeqtor, but it does cost to have a mobile skin.  I have a
larger mobile phone so it didn't really bother me using it.  They have
a demo.

Looks very robust but also has a LOT of stuff I don't need which
clutters the interface and experience. Will keep it in mind in case my
needs expand but so far Vikunja sees to be almost exactly what I'm
after.
