Lunatask's solo core is compact: build a local desktop utility that captures the essential private task planner workflow with keyboard-first controls and local storage. A competent builder can reach a useful personal version in one sitting, while the paid product mainly wins on polish, OS integration.

# Lunatask indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Lunatask workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Build a local desktop utility that captures the essential private task planner workflow with keyboard-first controls and local storage.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- vendor-maintained updates
- cross-device sync
- deep operating-system edge-case coverage
- polished shortcuts and accessibility

If those capabilities are essential, use ActivityWatch instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

Lunatask: People keep paying because a utility used dozens of times a day must be instant, predictable, and compatible with every OS update.

questions
Vibecode Lunatask

Yes. A competent AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) can build a usable personal Lunatask replacement in one session with the prompt on this page. It runs on your own machine or server with no subscription.

How much does Lunatask cost?

Lunatask costs about $6/month (Premium, checked 2026-07-31), which is $72 per year. That's what you save by replacing it with one prompt.

What do I lose by replacing Lunatask?

Honestly: vendor-maintained updates; cross-device sync; deep operating-system edge-case coverage; polished shortcuts and accessibility. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to Lunatask?

Yes: ActivityWatch (Local-first automatic time tracking with an extensible event model.). Using prior art is also vibecoding; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
