24 alternatives to General Task, a free task manager for builders (beta)
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…

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…

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 :)

Hello HN! I've been working on a task manager (https://plocs.com) that combines a todo list with project management. Unlike most task managers, Plocs supports task dependencies and makes working with them easy. Thanks to dependencies Plocs is better in two important ways: 1.) You can plan in a goal-oriented way. Start with your goal and then plan the steps you need to get there. 2.) You can tell very easily which tasks you can work on: the ones that don't depend on other tasks are shown in a list to the left of the screen. Would love to get your feedback! PS: If you click on "Start…

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…
