Task Manager v2.0

Introduction

Task Manager v2.0 is an open-source Laravel 12 application for managing projects, tasks, notes, reminders, routines, and files — all in one place. Version 2.0 ships with a completely redesigned UI inspired by ClickUp, built from the ground up with a custom design system (cu-* component pattern) featuring a consistent indigo/violet gradient palette, two-panel layouts, and smooth interactions across every page.

What's New in v2.0

Complete UI redesign — consistent design system across all modules: dashboard, projects, tasks, notes, reminders, routines, files, and profile
Rich project management — project cards with progress rings, task breakdowns, team members, budget tracking, and smart status derivation
ClickUp-style task board — Kanban board with drag-and-drop across To Do / In Progress / Completed columns, priority badges, checklist items per task, and estimated hours
Enhanced notes — categories, tag chips, favourites, word count, rich multi-line content, and grid/list toggle
Powerful reminders — four priority levels (low/medium/high/urgent), categories, recurring reminders (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly), snooze, overdue detection, and completion tracking
Routines — daily, weekly, and monthly routine views with day/week/month selectors
File manager — file upload with type detection, preview (image/PDF/generic), and a dedicated file detail page
Full profile module — avatar upload with live preview, bio, phone, location, website, password change with strength meter and live requirement checklist
Redesigned login page — clean card layout with password show/hide toggle, no external CSS framework dependency
Rich test data seeder — 4 projects, 31 tasks, 8 notes, 9 reminders, 4 routines, 6 files, and a fully populated user profile out of the box

AI — Lina (Multi-Provider Chat)

Lina is the built-in workspace-aware AI assistant. It sees your tasks, projects, notes, reminders, routines, and files, and streams replies from one active provider at a time — auto-enabled by adding an API key. Groq (GROQ_API_KEY / compound-beta) has been removed.

Supported Providers (latest models — Aug 2026)

Provider	Env Key	Default Model	Available Models
OpenAI	`OPENAI_API_KEY`	`gpt-5.6-terra`	`gpt-5.6-sol` / `terra` / `luna`, `gpt-5` / `mini` / `nano`, `gpt-4.1` / `mini`, `o3`, `o4-mini`, `gpt-4o` / `mini`
Gemini	`GEMINI_API_KEY`	`gemini-3.6-flash`	`gemini-3.6-flash` (flagship), `3.5-flash` / `flash-lite`, `3.1-flash-lite`, `2.5-pro` / `flash` / `lite`
Claude (Anthropic)	`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	`claude-sonnet-5`	`claude-fable-5`, `opus-5`, `sonnet-5`, `haiku-4-5`, `opus-4-8` / `4-7`, `sonnet-4-6`
DeepSeek	`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`	`deepseek-v4-flash`	`deepseek-v4-flash` / `v4-pro` (current), legacy `deepseek-chat` / `reasoner`
Meta	`META_API_KEY`	`muse-spark-1.2`	`muse-spark-1.2` (Contributor — active), `Llama-4-Maverick/Scout 17B`, `Llama-3.3-70B`, `Llama-3.1-405B`

How It Works

One active provider: ai_settings.default_provider + default_model pick the provider for chat. If that provider has no key, the app auto-falls back to the first enabled provider.
Auto-enable: Adding an API key for a provider (via UI or .env) immediately enables it — no code change.
Key resolution: Per-user encrypted ai_settings.*_key (Laravel encrypted cast) → config/services.php → env() fallback.
Chat modes: OpenAI-compatible providers (OpenAI / DeepSeek / Meta) stream via SSE on POST /ai/stream. Gemini & Anthropic run sync then chunked stream. No provider → offline LinaFallbackBrain.
Conversations: Persisted in ai_conversations / ai_messages with multi-turn history and GET /ai/status.

Configure

Option A — Per-user UI (recommended, encrypted): Intelligence → AI Settings in the sidebar → paste key(s), choose default provider & model → Save. Keys are shown masked (••••…last4) and can be cleared per-provider.

Option B — Global env fallback — add to .env:

OPENAI_API_KEY=
GEMINI_API_KEY=
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=
META_API_KEY=
AI_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=openai   # openai | gemini | anthropic | deepseek | meta
AI_DEFAULT_MODEL=             # optional override

Run php artisan config:clear after editing .env. Full catalog lives in config/ai.php.

Laravel 12
MySQL 8+ or any supported database
Node.js & npm (for Vite asset compilation)

Setup Instructions

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/arafat-web/Task-Manager.git
cd Task-Manager

Step 2: Install Dependencies

composer install
npm install

Step 3: Configure Environment Variables

cp .env.example .env

Update .env with your database credentials:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=task_manager
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Step 4: Generate Application Key

php artisan key:generate

Step 5: Run Migrations and Seed Database

php artisan migrate --seed

This will run the TestDataSeeder and populate the app with realistic demo data (4 projects, 31 tasks, 8 notes, 9 reminders, 4 routines, and 6 files).

Step 6: Build Frontend Assets

npm run build

For local development with hot reload: npm run dev

Step 7: Create Storage Symlink

php artisan storage:link

Step 8: Serve the Application

php artisan serve

Open http://localhost:8000 in your browser.

Demo Login

Email:    [email protected]
Password: secret

Credentials are created by the seeder. Run php artisan migrate:fresh --seed to reset.

How to Use

Projects

Create and manage multiple projects with budgets, start/end dates, and team members. Each project card shows a progress ring, task breakdown (To Do / In Progress / Done), and live status. Tasks are organized in a ClickUp-style Kanban board within each project.

Tasks

Add tasks with priority, due date, and estimated hours. Break tasks down further with checklist sub-items. Drag and drop cards between To Do, In Progress, and Completed columns.

Notes

Create notes with a category, comma-separated tags, and mark any note as a favourite. Switch between grid and list views. Full-text search across title, content, and category.

Reminders

Set one-off or recurring reminders (daily / weekly / monthly / yearly) with four priority levels and optional location. The dashboard highlights overdue and due-soon reminders automatically.

Routines

Define habits or recurring work blocks with daily, weekly, or monthly frequencies. View your schedule filtered by day, week, or month.

Files

Upload any file — images and PDFs get a built-in preview on the detail page. Files are tagged by type and can be downloaded or replaced at any time.

AI — Lina & AI Settings

Open Lina from the Intelligence section in the sidebar. Each conversation is saved — create, rename, and delete via the left panel; chat streams live with markdown + code blocks. Go to AI Settings to paste per-provider API keys (encrypted), pick the default provider and model, or clear a key. Adding a key auto-enables that provider; the selected default is used if it has a key, otherwise the first enabled provider is chosen automatically. See the AI section above for the full model list.

Profile

Update your name, email, phone, location, website, and bio. Upload a profile avatar with a live preview before saving. Change your password with a real-time strength meter that checks length, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
