Very nice clean UI. Wondering what in 2023 made you launch the task management app without mobile app. Task not always created on desk! Some of the product hunt previous task management hit like Kairn etc. have not able to go much far than honeymoon period bloom and gloom. Good luck.

@nilsej Thanks for the feedback! We're still in the early stages (this is a beta), and so we have not prioritized the mobile experience thus far. With that said we are looking at launching mobile apps, definitely interested in doing that at some point. What would your use case be for mobile?
John Reinstra
@nilsej Thanks so much! We have been targeting engineers at startups so focused on the desktop experience at first, but will definitely look into mobile again.

Would love if there was an integration with Todoist
John Reinstra
@jonbstrong We’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the suggestion!
Julian Christensen
@jonbstrong This is something that we're definitely going to look into, thanks for the feedback!
James Hicks
greatness - I was literally just about to go with another solution - glad I saw the email about GT first!!! Initial beta is on track with what I'm personally looking for too - thanks team ✌🏾
deepu
awesome work
Julian Christensen
@pradeeb28 Thanks! Do you have any features you'd like to see added to the app?
John Reinstra
@pradeeb28 Thanks Deepu, I’m glad you like it!
James Daly
This looks really great! 👏 My requests to be able to switch to this from Sunsama: - Adding Asana, Todoist, Gmail, and Shortcut as services - Having an iOS app Looking forward to see it grow 😄
Julian Christensen
@jamesdaly90 Thanks for the feedback James! We're working on a number of new integrations (Asana included), and we hope to add support for all of the services listed at some point in the future. We are also looking into prioritizing a mobile app. What would your use-case for mobile look like?
John Reinstra
@jamesdaly90 Thanks James! We'll definitely add those over time.
James Daly
@julian_n_christensen That's great news! 🥳 I use the calendar mode constantly on mobile with Sunsama; I set up the day the evening before, or that morning, and then refer to the mobile calendar time-blocking view to make sure I'm on track throughout the day, adjusting time blocks as things finish earlier or later than expected.
Julian Christensen
@jamesdaly90 Awesome, thanks for the suggestions! We are going to take a look at creating a mobile version soon, and will include your feedback in the discussions!
Rohan Shah
Love this! Congrats on the launch, team :)
John Reinstra
@rohan_shah2 Thanks so much for your support Rohan!
Ryan Soury
Todoist integration hopefully next for sure 💪
Julian Christensen
@ryan_soury Hey Ryan, we have been looking at doing a Todoist integration for a while. Could be our next integration after JIRA and Asana (coming soon).
John Reinstra
@ryan_soury Thanks for the suggestion Ryan! Curious how you'd want to use Todoist in combination with our software?
King Alandy Dy
I’m gonna use GeneralTask to replace all the different clunky tools I use today. Thanks to this amazing team for building a much needed product today.
John Reinstra
@kingalandydy Amazing, thanks King! Let me know how that goes!
Julian Christensen
@kingalandydy Thanks King, love to hear it! Please give any feedback you have to us!
Sirius Nottin
Wow, the focus mode + smart prioritise is really what I was looking for without knowing it in a task manager! Would it be possible to support Discord? Also, it would be nice to automatically group tasks by specific label(s) and/or Linear workspace! That would avoid doing it by hand for each issue. Congratulations for the launch!
Julian Christensen
@sirius_nottin Thanks Sirius! This is the first time I've heard someone suggest Discord, but I think its an interesting idea! What would your use-case look like for that?
John Reinstra
@sirius_nottin Thanks so much Sirius for the kind words and for the helpful feedback!
Sirius Nottin
@julian_n_christensen Just to be able to add tasks easily without having to switch contexts and copy/paste ;) Hehe, btw did anyone suggest to support Height.app?^^
Julian Christensen
@sirius_nottin Ah makes sense, we can definitely look into a mobile app! And you're the first to suggest Height.App, we'll definitely take a look!
John Reinstra
@scottmai Makes sense Scott, thanks for the feedback!
Shan M S
In an era of multitasking and low attention span, this is a much needed tool to stay focused and get things done. Will definitely improve productivity. Thanks @generaltask_john and team for building this. Quite promising. Good luck!
John Reinstra

Julian Christensen
@generaltask_john @ssvmani Thanks Shan! Let us know if you have any specific suggestions for what to add to the app!
Richard Martin
Are there plans for Outlook and Teams integrations? Unfortunately stuck with them for work!
John Reinstra
@richinapps Not at this time, but we’ll keep that in mind, thanks for the suggestion! Any other integrations you’d want?
Mazin Bokhari
@richinapps @generaltask_john Outlook would be super helpful for me since my work uses gcal but school uses outlook!
John Reinstra
@richinapps @mazinbokhari Good to know Mazin, thanks!
Julian Christensen
@richinapps @generaltask_john @mazinbokhari Looks like we have a lot of requests for Outlook!

John Reinstra

Paola German
I started using it and I love how it works but I keep having problems with deadlines. There seems to have a bug in there since every time I set up a new deadline, it changes automatically and set ups a new deadline one day before the deadline I had selected :/
John Reinstra
@paola_german Hey Paola, thanks for reporting this issue to us. I'll have our team take a look.
John Reinstra
@paola_german Would you be able to reach out to support@generaltask.com and share your timezone and any other relevant info?
chibuzorobilom
I think I'm going to love this. I am trying it out already.
John Reinstra
@chibuzorobilom Amazing, let me know what you think!
