FastTask
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Veyrn is a native task manager for Mac, iPhone, and Apple Watch that connects to your own Vikunja instance — self-hosted or Vikunja Cloud. It requires a Vikunja server and an API token. Veyrn has no account and no backend of its own: your tasks live on your server and go nowhere else. Works with any Vikunja 2.x instance, and uses the faster v2 API automatically on 2.4.0 and later. QUICK ADD, IN PLAIN LANGUAGE Type "Pay rent tomorrow +Ho *bi !2" and Veyrn works out the date, project (Home), label (bills), and priority as you type. Recurrence too — "every week", "every 2 months". On the Mac, a global hotkey opens Quick Add from anywhere. On iPhone, Home Screen Quick Actions jump straight to a new task. Got a long list somewhere else? Paste or drag in a plain-text file and import it all at once. ORGANIZED THE WAY YOU ALREADY THINK Inbox, Scheduled, Logbook, and Projects in a familiar sidebar. Subtasks with an inline checklist and progress badge. Rich text notes with bold, italic, links, and bullets. Project and label colors carried through the whole interface. WIDGETS EVERYWHERE Upcoming tasks grouped by date on the Mac and iPhone Home Screen, plus Lock Screen and StandBy widgets. Check things off without opening the app. ON YOUR WRIST An Apple Watch app with Scheduled and Inbox views, tap to complete, and Quick Add by dictation or Scribble. Complications and a Smart Stack widget keep the next thing in front of you. KEEPS WORKING WHEN YOUR CONNECTION DOESN'T Changes you make offline are queued and sent as soon as you're back. Reminders sync to your notification center. BUILT FOR REAL SETUPS Up to five Vikunja accounts — the same server or different ones — switched from Settings. API tokens are stored in the system Keychain and shared securely between the app, its widgets, and the Watch. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Veyrn talks only to the server you point it at. If you send a bug report, the optional diagnostic log never contains your hostnames, tokens, or task content, and you can read the whole thing before it sends. Anonymous usage analytics are on by default and can be switched off in Settings. Not affiliated with Vikunja in any way. This is just how I like to work with my tasks, and I thought others might like it too.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Veyrn at Free against FastTask's $3.99. Veyrn also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months). FastTask's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
