Terminal/IDE-inspired task management app for aspiring or veteran developers that syncs in the cloud. No installs. No local-only CLI. Use it across all your devices from desktop to mobile. Use commands to create/update/delete tasks, add subtasks, leverage tab autocomplete like in your IDE, and even pull weekly calendar views, create workspaces, and upload screenshots to tasks, like you would on any task management app, but in the environment you thrive in. 14-day free trial.
I've been a product designer for 8+ yrs and I've always designed products people love to use. But I always needed an engineer to make my designs a reality. This changed for the past couple of years with AI agentic coding and the ability to be able to make my designs a reality without doing a 4-5 degree in HCI and CS.
I went from only designing to designing and deploying full products, all on my own. But this comes with an effort to understand and learn the code I'm creating so the products and features I ship don't break, stay secure, and perform well for users. So, I decided to commit and spend a ton of time in dev environments with terminal and IDE as my design interface so I would get better at coding.
However, one of the steps in the process was pulling me away from the coding environment: task management. Building products requires task management to stay on track and don't lose focus. But the generic task management apps were distracting me, and making my brain switch environments always ended up in wasted time to re-focus and immerse myself in the code again.
I tried to find a good local CLI alternative but having a local solution didn't work for me as sometimes I simply want to get tasks on my list when on the go, when I'm away from my mac. I also tried to find cloud-based apps that provide the best of both worlds but couldn't find anything that fit my needs. So I built TaskShell myself.
TaskShell is all I wanted a task management app to be to get familiar with code. It's could-based but mimics the usage of a terminal or your favorite IDE, all while still offering the essential task management features you need. No limitations. Always synced to all your devices.
I invite you to try it out at taskshell.app. You have 14 days to try all features without limits, including AI functionality.
Finally, the task management app for devs that doesn't suck.
