A task management tool you will actually keep using
Get every task out of your head and into one list where each one has a priority, a due date and a clear next step. Then work through it with a Pomodoro timer that lives in the same place, so planning and doing stop being two separate apps.

Your tasks are probably in six places right now
Some are in a notes app. A few are in your inbox, flagged and forgotten. One is on a sticky note that fell behind the desk, and the rest are just a low hum of worry that you are missing something. That hum is the cost of not having one list you trust.
A task management tool earns its place by being the one spot you check. Not the prettiest list, the one you actually open. That means adding a task has to be quick, the fields have to be optional, and the list has to tell you what is due without being asked.
This one does all three, and then it does something most task apps do not. It sits next to a focus timer, so once you have decided what to do, you can start doing it in the same click.
Capture
Add a task before the thought escapes
Every section has a line at the bottom that is always ready for a new task. Type a title, press enter, and it stays focused so the next one is right behind it. You can dump ten things out of your head in the time it takes most apps to open a new task form.
There is a keyboard shortcut to start a task without reaching for the mouse, and a slash key jumps you to search. The faster it is to write a task down, the more likely it lands here instead of getting lost.
Everything between the beta and the public launch.
The details that matter
Give a task just enough structure
Open any task and set what it needs. A priority from low to urgent. A due date from a small calendar or a quick option like today or next week. A person, some tags, a time estimate and a description with room to explain.
None of it is required. A task with only a title is a perfectly good task. The fields are there for the ones that need them, like the report with a hard deadline or the errand you keep forgetting the details of.

Staging looks right. One nit: the annual saving badge wraps on mobile.
Prioritize
Let the list tell you what is next
Group your tasks by due date and this week floats to the top. Group by priority and the urgent work is impossible to miss. Filter to just what is overdue when you need to catch up, or hide everything you have finished to clear the noise.
You are not sorting a list by hand every morning. You tell the tool how you want to look at your tasks, and it arranges them for you, then puts them back the moment you change your mind.
Break it down
When one task is really five
Big tasks stall because they are vague. Open one and add subtasks, and the thing you were avoiding becomes a short checklist you can actually start. The parent shows a small progress bar as you tick the steps off.
When you want the whole picture instead, the table view lays every task out as a row with columns you can sort. Sort by due date to plan tomorrow, or by priority to see what deserves your first hour.

A task list is only useful if the tasks get done
Most task apps stop at the list. This one carries on into the doing. It shares a home with a Pomodoro timer, the simple method of working in focused stretches with short breaks between them. Estimate a task in hours and the app shows you how many pomodoros that is, so a full day of work looks like a real number instead of a hopeful guess. Then you start the timer and get to it.
Your call
A quiet list or a visual board
Some people think in lists, others in columns. You get both. The list keeps your tasks in a calm, single lane that reads well on any screen, including your phone. The board turns your groups into columns of cards you drag from one to the next as work moves along.
It is the same tasks either way. Switch whenever the mood or the job changes, and the app remembers where you left it.
Made to stay out of your way
The details that decide whether a task tool becomes a habit or another abandoned app.
Keyboard friendly
Start a task, jump to search, or clear the finished ones without lifting your hands from the keys.
Find anything fast
Search across titles, notes and tags, and stack filters until only the tasks you care about are on screen.
Clear priorities
Low, medium, high and urgent, each with its own colour, so the important work reads at a glance.
Honest due dates
Overdue tasks are marked in red, today in amber. The list is upfront about what needs you now.
Tags that colour themselves
Add a tag and it keeps the same colour everywhere, with no palette to fuss over. Filter by any of them.
Forgiving by design
Delete the wrong task and undo waits in the corner. Finish something and it stays, struck through, until you clear it.
Housekeeping
Tidy the whole list in a few clicks
Once a week your list needs a clean up. Tick the tasks you want to change, or select a whole run at once, and a small bar lets you reschedule them, bump their priority, move them, or clear them out together.
It turns the dreaded weekly review into a two minute job, which is the only kind of weekly review that actually happens.
Three steps to a clearer head
Empty your head
Type out everything you are trying to remember. Do not sort it yet, just get it down. One list, one place, all of it.
Add dates to the ones that need them
Give the time sensitive tasks a due date and a priority. Leave the rest as plain lines. The list will surface what is urgent for you.
Work in focused stretches
Pick the top task, start a pomodoro, and give it your full attention until the timer rings. Tick it off and take the break you earned.
Questions people ask
Is this task management tool free?
Yes. Sign up and the task board is yours, along with a Pomodoro timer and your stats. There is no card asked for and no trial that stops working after a week.
Can I use it as a simple to do list?
Absolutely. Ignore every field except the title and it works as a plain checklist. Type a task, press enter, tick it off when it is done. The priority, due date, tags and the rest are there when you want them, and quiet when you do not.
How do I add a task quickly?
Every section has an add a task line at the bottom, and it stays focused after you press enter so you can empty your head in one go. There is also a keyboard shortcut to start a new task without touching the mouse.
Can I set priorities and due dates?
Yes. Each task can have a priority from low to urgent and a due date you pick from a small calendar or a quick option like today or next week. Overdue tasks are marked clearly, so the list tells you what needs attention first.
Does it remind me what is due?
The dashboard shows what is overdue and what is due this week, and you can group your tasks by due date to pull the soonest ones to the top. It does the sorting so you do not have to keep it all in your head.
Can I break a task into smaller steps?
Yes. Open any task and add subtasks under it. The parent task shows a small progress bar as you check the steps off, which is useful when one line on your list is really five.
Will my tasks sync across devices?
Your tasks are saved to your account, so they are there when you open the app on another device or in another tab. Changes show up without a manual refresh.
One list you can trust, starting today
Get your tasks out of your head, give the important ones a date, and work through them one pomodoro at a time.
Free to use, your tasks stay yours, no trial countdown.
