Project management shouldn’t be behind a paywall.
Or behind a knowledge gap. Or behind a certification, a learning curve, or three onboarding videos before you can write your first task. We don’t buy the idea that running a project should require a degree in someone else’s vocabulary.
You don’t need a vocabulary. You need a list.
Sprints. Epics. Tickets. Issues. Stories. Backlogs. Burndowns. The whole industry has spent twenty years convincing people that getting something done together requires a special language — and that the special language requires a special tool, sold at a special price, configured by a special role.
None of that is true. A college student writing her thesis doesn’t need a backlog grooming session. A freelance developer juggling four clients doesn’t need an epic. An event planner running a 200-guest wedding doesn’t need a sprint review. They all need the same thing the engineering teams really need underneath all the jargon: a place to write what’s on their plate, who’s doing it, and when it’s due — and a few clean ways to look at the same list.
That’s what Tasks is. We strip out the vocabulary, we strip out the gatekeeping, and what’s left is a tool that fits whatever you do.
Built for whoever shows up.
Tasks doesn’t assume you work in tech. It doesn’t assume you have a team. It doesn’t assume you’ll ever pay us. The starter packs say it loud:
What we promise.
- 01Free where it counts.
The features that make this useful — multi-view, real-time, shareable — work without paying. Always. We charge for power-user depth, not the basics. The basics belong to you.
- 02No vocabulary tax.
If you can name what you have to do, you can use this app. There is no glossary. There is no sprint cadence to learn. There is no role you have to be assigned before you can ship something.
- 03It looks like the work.
A board if you think in lanes, a list if you think in lines, a timeline if you think in shape, a calendar if you think in days. Same tasks, four lenses. No re-entering anything.
- 04Out of your way.
Notifications are restrained — a daily digest, not a firehose. Capture is fast — write a sentence, the app picks out the date. The tool fades. The work stays.
Write down what you have to do. Look at it the way that helps. Cross it off. That’s the whole product.
