24 alternatives to I built a task manager that separates "do" and "due" dates

Hi HN, I’m the founder of Zesfy, a productivity app that I’ve been developing over the past few years. It’s designed to seamlessly integrate your tasks with your calendar, allowing you to transform your to-do lists into actionable events in just seconds. Here are some of its key features: - Task Progress: Automatically update your progress based on subtasks completed - Step: Create step-by-step breakdown of the subtask - Target: Organize tasks with due date - Session: Insert multiple tasks to calendar event - Space: Filter event from specific sets of calendars I recently introduced new…

Zesfy is a productivity app that integrates tasks with calendars by distinguishing between "do" dates—when you plan to work on something—and "due" dates—when it's actually due. It lets users break tasks into steps… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. I built a task manager that separates "do" and "due" dates launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    We're building an app that helps people manage their schedule, tasks and notes all in one place. The goal is to create a workspace, where people can manage their various priorities, both personal and professional, see a single schedule combined of all their calendars and manage their days without switching between multiple apps. At the moment we've implemented Google calendar synchronisation, basic tasks and notes. Also Emery has some things we really wanted to see in other apps – private notes for meetings, categories that can be used to group tasks/notes/meetings together, weekly…

    For a long time (after devouring Atul Gawande’s The Checklist Manifesto), I've noticed a gap in the productivity tool market—most tools don't cater well to repeatable checklists. Task managers handle one-off tasks effectively, but falter with routines. On the other hand, project management software often feels overly complex. What I wanted was in the Goldilocks Zone between Todoist and Jira. For my own personal use, I created StepList. I've used it to assist and track workouts, my daily workday, software deployment and setup, household management, and more. Over the last year I've prepared…

    Hey HN! I built Schedulist to solve my own problem: task fragmentation across Linear (work) and personal/smaller tasks and also only see what I need to see next (inbox zero). The core insight: most productivity apps want you to migrate everything to their system. Schedulist takes a different approach - it connects to where your tasks already live. In 2.0, we've added some new things: - Linear integration (for developers/PMs using Linear) - Microsoft ToDo & Google Tasks sync - Swipe actions to complete and schedule tasks for later - Effortless recurring tasks - Mobile share sheet…
