What task management software are you using?
Over the years working for agencies I've become quite familiar with tools like @asana and @Jira , also with @Trello for personal projects. But I was wondering, are these the most used or are these just the ones I've been exposed to? Are there better options? Would love to hear your thoughts down below!

I think @Notion replaced trello for good. It's harder to start using it efficiently, it's more complex. but that's also why it's so cool for projects.
For my personal work simply notes and google calender:)
@hanna_plotnitskaya interesting point! I've though of moving everything from trello to obsidian but I spent so much time setting up automations and apps for trello that it just makes it harder to leave.
@alan_rivera, I've dabbled with Asana, Notion, Trello, Monday... but @ClickUp has become my go-to. It's got a bit of feature bloat, but it just blew the others out the water for me... it's really so dependent on your style of management, though, and what automations you need.
@alan_rivera ignore the pun, but I just clicked with it. I haven't really thought it through much. I really do like their integration of AI - it works well and is almost integrated at a foundational level, rather than being an add-on like in Asana. But more simply, it just made sense to me. I saw it and understood what to do - that's why I think it's such a style-dependency thing

Jira, Trello, Asana, Apple Reminders – personally love reminders the most! :)

Jira or Trello are for the work tasks while Apple reminders serve for my also for my personal tasks or as "reminders" of my work tasks too :D
currently - Obsidian for both tasks management and content. used to use Jira at work and Trello at work and for personal stuff.
@taniabell eyy let's go! haha finally another obsidian user! You're tech stack is pretty much the same as mine.
@alan_rivera lfg. Obsidian all the way. love the tool, the ethos and their community. supper cool and inspirational
For personal projects, I always use Brisqi - it's an offline-first personal Kanban and task management app. A little biased as I built it :)
@alan_rivera haha thanks! Feel free to provide any unfiltered feedback.
Product Hunt
We use @Linear and Notion at Product Hunt, and while sometimes the handoff between the two can be a little bit messy, I like the flexibility of @Notion . As things get closer to being actually built, I like the structure and process that @mikekerzhner has set up in Linear, and how focused on engineering issue tracking it is.
For personal task tracking, I've tried various systems, but I tend to come back to a very simple markdown text file approach. For personal projects, I'll usually use @Bear .
Product Hunt
Since i have used all at different point so, i used Asana for mostly handling marketing teams and Jira for technical (cs projects) side.
@ajay27324 I always found Asana more intuitive and just an overall better experience but my team uses jira so not much I can do there! Will probably start using Asana for my start up though we'll see.
I have a bit of a small ecosystem going:
@todoist for personal tasks
@Linear for work tasks
@Akiflow to stitch everything together and assign each task a day and a time block
@jamesdaly90 Hadn't heard of akiflow seems super useful and interesting might give the free trial a go!
Used Monday.com, ClickUp, Trello, and Asana. For my needs (simple task management and organization), Asana's the top choice.
@mewdoro none other :)
@mewdoro @mia_k1 hahha tried the mewdoro extension just a few days ago definitely the cutest pomodoro timer I've tried.
@mia_k1 @alan_rivera meow :) maybe you have some suggestions?
@alan_rivera I also personally use the tools you have provided in your question. The only task management tool that I also like to use is @Notion for more complex projects, since it allows me to have more formatting options and tools.
I see quite some advertisements for Motion, this is an AI-tool that manages your tasks and calendar. This one can be an interesting one for you to look at. However I have not used this one myself!
Cake Equity
At the moment for all the startups that I am working with @Notion and @Asana.
@rubenlozanome if it ain't broke don't fix it! Seeing everyone using notion is making me fomo no obsidian lovers here haha
Fine
I used to work with Monday. But recently I built a custom tool with my AI agent, just for personal use.
overkill? maybe 🤔
@dan_leshem would love to see it in action!
Tried @asana , @todoist , @TickTick and a lot of others. As a result, ended up creating @Emery to have everything in one place
@asana @todoist @denis_chernobai Woah @Emery looks super useful! So it connects to trello, jira and gives you one dashboard? Might have to give it a go!
@Linear all the way for its simplicity in use and beautiful design. Just gets all the tasks done.
I used Trello and Asana for my team's task management, but now we are working on our own tool, Jotform Boards :) You can easily auto-generate tasks from our powerful forms with submissions and any communication channel for easy tracking and team assignment.
Launching soon! 🚀
@isibol01 Awesome! Ping me when you have a pre-launch page would love to support!
@alan_rivera Will do, thanks!
In my experience you just really need something basic. Trello, Asana, JIRA are all more than capable. For personal projects I tend to just use Trello.
