Why Telu

Most task managers make
a simple job complicated.

A login. A cloud. A subscription. Telu removes all of that. You get a file, you open a file, you manage your tasks.

🔒
Completely private by design
No server, no database, no analytics. Telu cannot send your data anywhere because it has no connection to make. Your tasks never leave your machine.
💳
Buy once. No subscription.
£9. That's it. No £8/month that quietly becomes essential. No "that feature is Pro only." You own it, full stop.
⚡
Opens instantly. Works offline.
No loading spinners. No server to respond. Open the file and your tasks are there. Works with no internet — always.
📄
One file. That's everything.
Nothing to install. Nothing to update. One HTML file in any browser. You could email it to yourself and it'd work on any computer you own.

About Telu

The best task manager is the one you actually use

Most people who search for a task manager already own one. A Todoist account gathering dust. A Notion workspace that became a maze. The problem isn't features — it's friction. Logging in. Waiting to load. Managing a subscription. Trusting someone else's server. Telu removes all of that. Open a file. Add a task. Done.

A private, offline task manager that works without internet

If you've searched for an offline task manager or a task manager that works without internet, Telu is exactly that. It's a local file with no server connection. It works identically whether you're online or off — on a plane, in a basement, with the Wi-Fi switched off.

No account, no subscription — a task manager you own

Every major task app has decided it needs your email address, ongoing access to your data, and £5–10 a month. Telu doesn't. £9 once. A file. Works forever regardless of what happens to us or this website.

Works on Windows, Mac and Linux

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on any operating system. It's a standard HTML file — if a modern browser runs, Telu runs.

Your data stays on your computer — technically, not just as marketing

There is no server. No API call. Telu makes zero network requests. Open the source in a text editor and every line of code is readable, verifiable. Nothing hidden.

Pricing

Simple, honest,
one price.

No tiers. No upsells. No features hidden behind a "Pro" paywall. Everything included for £9.

No server, no analytics, no tracking. Your tasks stay on your device.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What exactly do I get?
A single HTML file — Telu.html. Open it in any browser. It's a complete self-contained application. No installation, no setup, no account required.
Where does my data go?
Your browser's localStorage — a local database on your computer. It never leaves your machine. Telu makes zero network requests of any kind.
What if I clear my browser data?
Telu auto-downloads backup files to your computer on a schedule. One click restores everything. It also backs up automatically on browser close.
Can I use it on multiple computers?
Yes. Export a backup on one machine, import it on another. The file itself can be freely copied to any device you own.
Will it stop working if you shut down?
No. You own the file. It has no dependency on our servers or this website. It will work forever.
Which browsers does it support?
Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on Windows, Mac, and Linux. If it has a modern browser, Telu runs.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. On iPhone/iPad, save Telu.html to Files, then open it in Safari. On Android, save to Downloads, then open with Chrome. The interface adapts to smaller screens and touch works perfectly.
Can I see the source code?
Yes — it's a plain HTML file. Open it in any text editor. Every line is readable. No minified bundles, no hidden network calls. Fully transparent.
Is it suitable for team use?
The licence covers personal use on your own devices. Each person in a team would need their own copy. Data is per-browser by design — it's built as a personal tool.
