About

Taskig

Read full description

Taskig is the to-do list with an AI assistant that does the work. Write or say what you need, and it lands in the right list with a time and a reminder. Ask for more, and Taskig looks things up, writes and plans for you. TASKIG DOES THE WORK "Find a pancake recipe and add what's missing to Shopping": Taskig finds the recipe, sees what you already have and adds the rest. Ask in the field, on the board or on a task. Taskig finds the number to call, opening hours and prices, writes the e-mail and plans the weekend. You see what it did and can undo it. EVERY TASK HAS ITS OWN CONVERSATION Ask more on the task. The answer, the links and the plan stay there, and everything Taskig found stays in History. SAY IT, AND IT'S DONE "Call the bank tomorrow at 10 and buy flowers for Mom on Friday" becomes two tasks, in the right lists, at the right times. Say what's done and it's ticked off. Ask "what do I have next week?", and Taskig shows the week day by day. A PHOTO BECOMES A TASK Photograph a letter or share a ticket, an invoice or a PDF, and it becomes a task with the time, the place and what it says. Notes, links, photos and documents stay on the task. TASKIG REMEMBERS Say something once and Taskig knows it next time: that Erik is your boss, that the car is at the garage, where you usually shop. Everything it remembers is under Memory, where you can change it, forget it or turn it off. PLACES AND ALARMS Say "remind me when I'm at the pharmacy", and Taskig reminds you when you get there, or when you leave. Pick one place or several: Taskig reminds you at the one you reach first. A reminder can also ring as an alarm, even when the phone is on silent. SHARE WITH FAMILY AND COLLEAGUES Invite people to a list. Each of you has your own rows; what you share, everyone sees, and who wrote it. YOUR AI VIA MCP Taskig is an MCP server. Connect it to Claude or ChatGPT and let your AI read, add and answer your tasks, for example a summary before the meeting. You decide what it may do and which lists it sees. CONNECT YOUR SERVICES Connect Taskig to the services you already use, for example Notion, or to any MCP server. Taskig fetches what it needs from them and puts the plan or the notes there when you want, with a link on the task. You decide whether it may only read or also write. YOURS, AND IN YOUR CONTROL AI can be turned off completely; Taskig is then a plain to-do list. Delete your account whenever you like, from inside the app. TASKIG PLUS With Plus the assistant does six times as much and Taskig follows up to 25 things for you, with nothing to renew. Everyone has Plus for their first 14 days, no card needed. Plus is a monthly or yearly subscription that renews automatically until you cancel it in the App Store. The free version stays.
