Progress

Simple kanban-style task organiser

Progress is a simple task management app focused on simplicity yet enough for most workflows. It can be used on various contexts, from software development to daily tasks. It is written in C++ using GTK 4(gtkmm) and libadwaita.

Installation

Flatpak

Progress is available to download at Flathub.

Debian

A debian build is also available. The debian package can be obtained in the releases page.

sudo apt install ./progress-tracker-1.6.deb

Arch Linux (AUR)

Progress is available on the AUR (Arch User Repository). You can install it using the yay command-line application:

yay -S progress-tracker

Windows

Windows installers are also available in the releases section. The installers were tested against the following environments.

• Windows 8
• Windows 10
• Windows 11

Building from Source

For contributing to Progress source code, building from source might be the better option.

Dependencies

• cmake
• python3 (required only if building on Windows)
• libgtkmm-4.0-dev
• libadwaita-1-dev
• libtinyxml2-dev
• gettext
• catch2 (optional)

Building on Linux

1. Install the dependencies

   # Use your package manager
   sudo apt install cmake libgtkmm-4.0-dev libadwaita-1-dev libtinyxml2-dev gettext catch2

2. Clone the project's repository

   git clone https://github.com/smolBlackCat/progress-tracker.git

3. Configure and compile project.

   cd progress-tracker/
   
   # Use DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to build the application in development mode
   cmake -S . -B build/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
   cmake --build build/

4. Install the Project

   sudo ninja install -C build/

Building on Windows

There are multiple approaches to building projects on Windows. The approach used by this project is setting up a MSYS2 environment and downloading the MSYS dependencies similar to the one listed before. Currently, the project build settings support only two environments: UCRT64 and MINGW32.

1. Install the dependencies

   # Replace env with either 'ucrt64' or 'mingw32'
   pacman -Syu mingw-w64-env-cmake mingw-w64-env-python mingw-w64-env-gtkmm4 \
       mingw-w64-env-libadwaita mingw-w64-env-tinyxml2 \
       mingw-w64-env-gettext mingw-w64-env-catch git

2. Clone the project's repository

   git clone https://github.com/smolBlackCat/progress-tracker.git

3. Configure and compile project

   cd progress-tracker/
   cmake -S . -B build/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWINDOWS=True
   cmake --build build/

4. Build installer using Inno Setup Script Compiler (optional).
