How TaskPocket compares

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Works in a browser | ||||
| Platforms | Web (apps planned) | Apple only | All platforms | All platforms |
| Inbox + Today + Upcoming | ||||
| Due date + separate deadline | ||||
| Someday / Maybe list | ||||
| Logbook for completed tasks | ||||
| Recurring tasks | ||||
| Checklists / subtasks | ||||
| Simple, no learning curve |
Sound familiar?
Most to-do apps start simple, then bury you
You wanted a task manager. You got a project management suite with a learning curve steeper than the work itself.
Too many features, not enough focus
Labels, priorities, filters, tags, boards, timelines... Your productivity app became another source of stress.
You spend more time organizing than doing
Setting up the perfect system takes hours. Then you stop using it after a week because it's too much work to maintain.
Things 3 is perfect, but only on Apple
You love how Things 3 works. But you also use Windows, Linux, or Android, and there's nothing like it for the browser.
How it works
From thought to done in six steps
TaskPocket keeps your workflow simple. No configuration rabbit holes, no onboarding courses. Just a clear path from idea to completion.
Sign up
Create an account with email or Google. Takes seconds.
Capture
Throw tasks into your Inbox the moment they come to mind.
Organize
Move tasks into Projects, set dates, or file them under Someday.
Work
Focus on Today. See exactly what needs your attention right now.
Review
Check Upcoming for the week ahead. Adjust, reschedule, reprioritize.
Find
Search across everything. Your completed tasks live in the Logbook.
Features
Built around how you actually work
The tools that matter, minus the clutter. Each feature exists because it helps you get things done, not because we wanted another checkbox on a comparison table.
Inbox & Quick Capture
Dump thoughts instantly with inline add or the global shortcut. Your inbox catches everything so your mind stays clear.
Ctrl+Shift+N
Today & Upcoming
See today's tasks at a glance, then look ahead. Tasks are grouped by date so you always know what's next.
Projects & Sections
Break big goals into projects, organize with sections, and reorder with drag-and-drop.
Due Date & Deadline
Set a due date for when you want to start and a separate deadline for the hard cutoff. Most task managers only give you one date. We give you both.
Logbook
Completed tasks move to the Logbook, grouped by the date you finished them. Your personal productivity journal.
Deadlines View
See all tasks with deadlines in one place, sorted by urgency. Never miss a hard cutoff again.
Someday List
Park ideas you're not ready to commit to. They stay out of the way until you need them.
Areas in Sidebar
Group related projects under Areas like Work, Personal, or Health. Keep your sidebar tidy.
Recurring Tasks
Set tasks to repeat daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. When you complete one, the next occurrence appears automatically.
Checklists
Break tasks into subtasks with checklists. Check items off as you go, reorder with drag-and-drop, or paste multiple lines at once.
Global Search
Find any task or project in seconds. Full keyboard navigation included.
Ctrl+KDrag & Drop Everything
Reorder tasks, sections, projects, and areas by dragging them. Works on mobile too.
Keyboard first
Built for speed
Keep your hands on the keyboard. TaskPocket supports shortcuts for the actions you use most.
On Mac, use ⌘ instead of Ctrl.
Roadmap
What's coming next
TaskPocket is actively developed and growing fast. Here's what we're working on and what's on the horizon.
iOS App
A native iPhone app with offline support and push notifications.
Android App

Notifications & Reminders
Get reminded about upcoming tasks and deadlines so nothing slips through.
Data Export (CSV)
Export your tasks and projects in CSV format. Your data, your way.
Import from Other Apps
Move your tasks from Todoist, Things 3, or TickTick in a few clicks.
Chrome Extension

Your tasks are private
We don't sell your data. We don't run ads. Your tasks belong to you and no one else. Simple authentication, secure connections, and nothing sketchy in between. End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is on our roadmap so your data stays private even from us.
Built by a solo developer
I built TaskPocket because I love Things 3, but half my day happens on a Windows machine where Things isn't available. I wanted the same calm, focused experience I could open in any browser, on any device. No team features, no enterprise bloat. Just a personal task manager that feels right.
FAQ
Questions & answers
Right now TaskPocket is web-only, but it works great in any mobile browser. A native iOS app is our top priority, with Android right behind it. Check our roadmap to see what's coming next.
Yes, TaskPocket is free to use right now. We'll introduce paid plans in the future, but early users will keep full access at no cost when that happens.
Export in JSON format is available today, and we're adding CSV export soon. Import from other apps like Todoist and Things 3 is on our roadmap. Your data should always be yours.
Someday is for tasks and ideas you want to remember but aren't ready to work on. They stay out of Today and Upcoming until you move them. Think of it as a parking lot for future plans.
The Logbook is where completed tasks go, grouped by the date you finished them. You can look back and see everything you've accomplished. It's your productivity journal.
Todoist is great, but it can feel busy. TaskPocket is inspired by Things 3, so the focus is on calm and simplicity. We also give you both a due date and a separate deadline, plus a Someday list and Logbook that Todoist doesn't have.
