24 alternatives to A task manager for simple tasks that do not fit in Jira
Hello HN! I've been building this side project which is a task manager as simple and as powerful as I've been able to built it. It's specially thought for the tasks that you must complete at work, and you want to remember but you want to avoid all the bureaucracy of some TO-DO apps like JIRA. It's been quite a journey to build it. Its backend lives in Amazon Lightsail, and for now it's a Django app with a SQLite database. I'm quite surprised on how good SQLite has been performing on all the tests so far. The frontend it's a React app. Everything is pretty standard, but those are technologies…

Hello everyone! I left my job to start General Task a little over a year ago, and have been building a better free task manager with a small team. We aim to be the best place where one can find what’s next in their workday and we integrate with a number of different services to help do that. We’re still in the early stages of a beta, but so far you can: - Create/edit tasks with due dates, priorities, and folders - Drag tasks onto your calendar to block off time to do them (syncs with GCal) - Sync with Linear (JIRA coming soon) to see tasks assigned to you - Sync with Github to see your…

Jinear▲192Hi HN, Two years ago, I started building Jinear as a side project for fun. Then my wife started using it to plan her PhD thesis. I added features as we needed them. After a while, my best friend started using it in his small company, so I thought maybe I could productize it. You can create tasks, set reminders, attach files, link your Google Calendar, etc. It can be used as a PWA. We've been using it daily. I would be happy to receive your feedback. Thanks.

I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each. So, I whipped this together real fast and I can't imagine using Google Tasks without it anymore. I realized you might want it too, so I put it on the web. Enjoy :)

Buildstash▲168Hey HN! We just launched open sign up on Buildstash. It's a platform for managing and sharing software binaries. I'd worked across game dev, mobile apps, and agencies - and found every team had no real system for managing their built binaries. Often just dumped in a shared folder (if someone remembered!). No system for versioning, keeping track of who'd signed off what when, or what exact build had gone to a client, etc. Existing tools out there for managing build artifacts are really focused on package repository management. But miss all the other types of software not being deployed that…

TaskShell▲86I initially built this for myself but some folks asked me to open access to it. Let me explain what I built and why. I'm a product designer who transitioned from only designing to building complete software products myself and I found myself using AI coding agents literally every day. I started with cursor, then codex and claude code, then kilo code, and then moved to opencode. The only thing AI agents couldn't get done for me was to keep track of my todos and tasks for all my projects. I ended up vibe coding a todo app separately or using apps like TickTick. The main issue with separate…

i'm building this minimalistic framework mostly for myself. it's really just a project template + a tiny library that adds file based routes to express and persistent task queues. i wanted something that: 1. is a single long-running process to deploy and manage (thanks sqlite!) 2. has type-safe database queries and type-safe server rendered React-like `.tsx` components 3. addresses 80% of common full-stack concerns like emails, task queues and routing 4. doesn't have a frontend build process curious to hear what you think!

Hi HN I recently got married, promptly had a bit of a meltdown, and decided to lock myself in a room and build for a while. At the same time, I was trying to outbound sell for my startup and kept running into the same problem: I wanted an automation tool that could actually use my computer like a person. Click through UIs, copy/paste between apps, handle messy workflows — not just APIs and webhooks. I couldn’t find anything that felt: - consumer-friendly (non-technical) - local-first - flexible enough for real-world, UI-driven tasks So I challenged myself to see how far I could get…

He HN, I'm an entrepreneur, and I help startups to ship products. I find out that for startups tools like Jira, Monday, slack and others are expensive and unnecessarily complex. That's why I decided to built a Freemium software for simplifying project management process. Workfeed is all-in-one soft, including docs, kanban boards. I plan to add chats in couple of months too. I hope this product will help you to manage your projects simpler and faster. Would love your feedback plz Enjoy !!

I'm documenting everything about my process. From learning to code, to building the app, and all the way to my outreach efforts. I'm learning as I go and sharing it with everyone who's not a programer, and is daunted to build a software on their own. Trust me. If I can do it, anyone can! You can find my updates on: https://Claritask.com ...as well as video updates on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdmqmifW4kIcPclXigay1dQ Would love to hear your feedback on my progress and if you have any suggestions on what I can do better. There's so many task managers out…

Hey everyone! It’s a single executable that you can run on your server using Docker, Systemd, or any other tool you prefer. It provides a simple user-friendly interface to manage all your SQLite databases. Inspired by PhpLiteAdmin, it features a snappy UI and offers power-user functionalities, ability to chat with your database using natural language via OpenAI api, and other features. It’s free to use, with an option for a one-time payment to unlock all features. You can find the demo at https://demo.litequeen.com/ It's early and there's much to add. Some features I think…
