Connect Gmail · nothing else to set up
TaskFlask reads the mail you already get, works out what it is actually asking you to do, and writes the task — titled properly, dated properly, with a link back to the message it came from. You say yes, or you don't.
Deck reads well overall. Only thing missing is the retention chart on slide 9 — any chance you can get it in before we circulate Thursday morning? Everything else I can live with.
One email. No typing. The deadline was never stated — it was inferred, and it says so.
There is no onboarding flow, no workspace to design, no fields to configure. The sequence below is the entire surface area.
Sign in with Google. TaskFlask reads your mail; it never sends any. Disconnect and the access is gone the same second.
Every thread gets scored for whether it actually demands something from you. Newsletters and CC-chatter score low and stay out of your way.
Proposed tasks arrive as a list you approve or ignore. Turn the dial up and it files them on its own — your choice, changeable any day.
You already own one of those and you use about eight percent of it. TaskFlask is opinionated about staying small, and here is what that costs you.
When software starts creating work for you, you need to be able to tell its work from yours. Tasks TaskFlask wrote are marked as such — permanently, and not by a prefix someone can edit. You can always see the message a task came from, the day it was found, and whose inbox found it.
The date you owe someone. It changes when you renegotiate it — not when your week gets busy.
The day you intend to do it. Drag it to Friday and the promise stays exactly where it was.
Anything with a deadline lands on your calendar the day it's created. They part ways the first time you move one.
One plan, because there is one product. Everything described on this page is included, and there is no tier above this that unlocks the good part.
Gmail first. Outlook when Gmail is genuinely finished.
