I built a local-first "anti to-do list" desktop app with Tauri 2 + Rust — and why SQLite is enough

Years of to-do apps made me feel permanently behind. So I built the opposite: DoneTrace.

• Log finished tasks; score = time spent (no gamification)
• Projects: in progress → launched → archived; launched ones land on your achievements wall
• Daily/weekly reviews + AI retrospectives with your own key (BYOK), or fully offline
• 100% local SQLite — the free edition makes zero network requests; export/import always free
• Free edition is complete and open source (Apache-2.0); Pro adds personalized AI reviews, WebDAV backup & cloud sync ($9.9 one-time, 30-day trial)

Built with Tauri 2 + Rust + React + SQLite.
