Thanks for the feedback! It's free by the way!


*you only pay with personal information that can/will get monetized later on (bait and switch)?

I personally would like to try it, it does touch a nerve. But I only use selfhosted services. Have been burned in the past by "free" services that went away.


We don't and won't monetize personal information. Our plan is to launch a paid product for businesses next year.


Oh, good to know, thanks for sending this feedback over! We haven't tested much on iPad / mobile yet.


We don't have a public API yet but you can look at the network tab in your browser and get your tasks in JSON format relatively easily.


Ah yeah sorry for the confusion, we decided to start with programmers but want to eventually build a tool that works great for everyone.


Those first three are the basic default Google sign-in permissions (IIRC). The first is your Google ID, the second is your name, and the third is your email address. The fourth permission is so we can show your calendar and allow you to modify it. The app still works if you disable calendar permissions, though. And we will add alternative login methods in the future for those who would rather not authorize their Google account.


I totally agree. I think it's crucially important that every detail can be backed up by a long term goal and that you have the freedom & visibility in your tracker to make that happen.

We wanted to start by doing the fundamentals very well (tasks, basic calendar, etc), but we are very excited to push the envelope of what a task manager does over time and help align your short term actions with what can most effectively advance your goals in the long run.


Thanks! Definitely at some point, just not sure exactly when yet!


Thanks for the feedback - I just passed along to my team! We have a "share feedback" button in the bottom of our sidebar where you can report any issues you have as well.


Thanks! And that makes sense - we'll have to add Outlook / alternative login options soon!


Yeah, I actually pay for Trello premium too because of recurring tasks! I use General Task at work but still Trello for personal stuff. We are actively working on recurring tasks now and are definitely interested in exploring a kanban-style view in the future as well.
