Year Line

A private, offline-first yearly project and milestone planner built using Tauri2 + SQLite.

Plan projects across an entire year, divide them into milestones, track checklist progress, and mark important dates from one focused calendar.

Data and privacy

Yearline does not require an account and does not send calendar information to an external server. Project data is stored locally on the user's computer.

Users are responsible for creating JSON backups when moving between computers or reinstalling the application.

Import and export

Yearline exports projects, milestones, checklist items, project emojis, colors, and special dates into one JSON file. The export contains data from every year, not only the year currently visible in the application.
