FastTask

Task manager with a chat interface that connects your to-do list with GitHub, Linear and Make in under 3 seconds. The productivity app for developers, product managers and technical teams who can't afford to lose a single idea. How many times have you had an idea, spotted a bug or remembered a task and lost it before you could write it down? Most task managers and organizers on the market require too many steps: open the app, navigate menus, select a project, fill in required fields. By the time you're done, the context is gone. This app removes that barrier entirely. It works like a command line with a chat interface: open, type, done. Your note, task or reminder is captured and sent to its destination in under 3 seconds. INSTANT CAPTURE, NO FORMS The chat interface turns your phone into the fastest input channel in your workflow. No intermediate screens, no required fields, no team selection. Type like you're sending a message to a colleague. Hit send. Done. INTEGRATIONS WITH YOUR WORK TOOLS Not a replacement for your project manager a feeder. Connect with the tools your team already uses: - GitHub: Create issues in your repos directly from your phone. Capture bugs during testing, refactor ideas or roadmap improvements without breaking your flow. - Linear: The issue tracker of choice for the most demanding engineering teams. Create tasks, set priorities and keep your development pace without switching context. - Make: Full automation, no code. Connect with Google Sheets, Slack, Notion, Trello or any of thousands of apps in the ecosystem and trigger complex workflows from a quick note. LOCAL PROJECT ORGANIZER Create projects to separate contexts: work, clients, personal ideas or development. Capture while the idea is hot, review with a clear head. Decide what to push to your external tools when you have time and context. The personal organizer that works at your pace, not the other way around. AGILE PRODUCTIVITY & GTD METHOD Built on David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology. The core principle of GTD is simple: get everything out of your head as fast as possible to clear mental bandwidth. This app is the most direct implementation of that principle on mobile. Capture first, organize later, execute with focus. QUICK NOTES & HOT IDEAS Not everything needs to become a GitHub issue or a Linear task. The app also works as a quick notes pad for ideas, thoughts or reminders that don't fit any external workflow. Organize by project, search by text, keep everything accessible. WHO USES IT: - Developers capturing bugs, tech debt or architecture ideas without leaving their flow. - Product managers logging customer feedback, requirements or product decisions in meetings. - Freelancers with multiple clients who need to separate projects and contexts without mixing information. - Technical teams looking for a fast input channel to feed their project manager without friction. - Anyone who manages their day with task lists and wants to do it faster and with less stress. Minimalist design and premium experience. No invasive notifications, no noise, no required subscriptions for essential core features. Install and up and running in under a minute.
