Hey Product Hunt!
Last year I launched Secret. This year I want to start launching `taskr`, my first macOS app.
taskr is yet another to-do app. I've always wanted to build a free and simple to-do app for macOS that helps me be more productive as a solo-dev-entrepreneur. I tried a lot of other apps and I always ended up uninstalling it or not logging in again after a couple of days.
A couple features worth mentioning
- offline mode
- only 3 steps (backlog / today / done)
- export/import tasks
- projects
- tags (soon)
- cloud-sync (soon)
- team support (soon)
Will I support Windows/Linux?
I don't have any plans to launch `taskr` for Windows/Linux, I tried once but had many errors. If this is something people really want, I can give it another try.
How much does it cost?
Free
Why another to-do app?
I build `taskr` for myself and I think it would be cool to share with others. It's also Open Source.
I really like the Today / Backlog flow, and the top horizontal navigation. Like how easy it is to create "Projects". In general, I just really like this app! I've been waiting for something like this to come along. Some initial thoughts:
- Add New Task: Tasks are always added to the "backlog", however I expected that since there was an "Add New Task" button on the Today tab, it would be added there instead. I think whichever tab you add the task on, that is where it should be created.
- Help Text: When creating a new task, the help text in each field is cool at first, but I think maybe after the first use or two it shouldn't show up again. It's also formatted like the normal text, so it feels like I need to select it and delete it before I can type.
- View / Edit: Doesn't seem like there's significant differences between these options. Maybe this could be consolidated to just the "Edit" page, but the label could be "View". This would indicate that you can view the full task, and then when your on the task page, you could just change it. Alternatively, maybe you could just expand the row when it is clicked. I'd assume most people wouldn't add a lot of text to their tasks, since this is a simple task manager feeling app. Then, instead of a "view" option, it would just be "edit".
- Move to Backlog: It would be nice to have a "Backlog" option when you roll over tasks on the Today tab, just like there is a "Today" option on tasks on the Backlog tab.
- Menu: Would be real nice to have this in the mac's menu bar. I keep accidentally closing the program :/
Thank you for sharing this!

Pros:
Simple, easy and delightful to use. Dark color scheme. Today / Backlog workflow.
Agree on the Add New Task defaulting to today! Also, it'd be awesome if you incorporated some of the functionality of gone-app.com i.e. moving a task to the backlog if it's been on "today" for 24 hours.
Awesome feedback!
I'll probably add everything you commented, it will make so much easier to use the app. About the Add New Task, I like adding everything to the Backlog and whe I start planning I move to the Today's tab. But since a lot of people are asking for this I had the idea to create a global user config so user can choose which they prefer.
Thanks a lot for the comment! Really helpful!
