Open Hercules
Productivity, Greek Myth Style

Try the app anonymously. Especially the keyboard interaction. If you like what you see, your checklists will be saved to your account when you sign up.

Open Hercules is free and open source.

How's This Different?

It's keyboard friendly

Thanks to smart key bindings, you can edit your lists without touching your mouse.

It's social

You can share your lists publicly, spreading your knowledge far and wide.

Cloning is easy

If you find a list that you like, you can easily clone it and make it your own. For example, if you like this travel checklist, you can just clone it and modify it to your heart's content.

This also makes it easy to reuse your own lists.

It's Free

Completely free. No fee for using it. It's open source, too, so you can install it on your company's intranet or modify it or sell it on the black market or whatever.

About the Name

Hercules had probably the worst todo list ever imagined:

  • Kill the Nemean lion
  • Destroy the Lernaean Hydra
  • Capture the Ceryneian Hind alive
  • Trap the Erymanthian boar
  • Clean the Augean stables
  • Butcher the Stymphalian birds
  • Capture the Cretan bull
  • Round up the Mares of Diomedes
  • Fetch Hippolyta's girdle of gold
  • Fetch the cattle of Geryon
  • Fetch the golden apples of the Hesperides
  • Bring Cerberus from Tartarus

... and he managed to get that stuff done.
