## What it is
Tracks is a self-hosted, web-based task management application implementing David Allen's Getting Things Done (GTD) methodology, built with Ruby on Rails. It lets users organize actions into contexts and projects, with tagging, starring, notes, and flexible views, and can run on any platform where Ruby is available.

## Use cases
- manage my todo list using the GTD method
- self-host a getting things done web app
- organize tasks by context and project
- track next actions and someday/maybe items
- replace hosted todo apps with an open-source alternative
- run a personal task manager on my own server

## When to choose
- you follow the GTD methodology and want contexts, projects, and next actions
- you want a self-hosted, open-source task manager you fully control
- you prefer a mature Rails app that runs on Linux, macOS, or Windows
- you need tagging, starring, and flexible views over your actions

## When to avoid
- you want a modern single-page app with mobile-first design
- you need team/collaboration features rather than personal task management
- you don't want to maintain a Ruby on Rails deployment
- you need kanban boards or calendar-first scheduling

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, self-hosted
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, self-hosted
- platform: windows, self-hosted
- tags: gtd, todo, task-management, ruby-on-rails, getting-things-done, linux, macos, web-server
