Taskly is the AI task manager for people who find Jira too heavy and a notes app too light. Type or dump what needs doing in plain English: Otto drafts the tasks, you approve, and you get on with your day. Working with others? Add a teammate whenever you like.

Taskly sits exactly in between: real structure for your own work (lists, boards, recurring tasks) without the setup, the config, or the admin overhead. And an AI that does the organizing for you. Working with someone else? It grows with you.
Fields, statuses and permissions to configure before you can even log a task.
A notes app, a chat with yourself, a list in your head. Nothing gets prioritised.
Lists, boards, subtasks and recurrence, plus room to add a teammate later. Otto keeps it organized; you approve every change.
Three steps, and none of them is a setup screen.
Hit ⌘K anywhere and type "Send the Harbor Cafe invoice tomorrow". The date is picked up as you type, and so are priority and project. Prefer to talk? Tap the mic and ramble: Otto splits a brain dump into separate tasks for you to review.
Your tasks laid out by day in a month, week or day view (day is the default on a phone). Drop a task on another day to reschedule it, or drag one up from the strip of tasks that have no date yet.
A clean list with a live dashboard that always matches it: due today, overdue, in progress and blocked. Filter by project, priority or date, and switch to a board when you want to see the flow.
Otto doesn't just suggest. It creates and edits real tasks behind a diff you approve. Nothing changes without your say-so.
"Create 5 tasks for a website redesign and assign design review to Sarah." Otto proposes the exact tasks (with projects, priorities, due dates, subtasks and assignees) ready for you to apply.
"Move my blocked tasks to in-progress and bump them to high priority." Otto shows a clean before→after preview for every change. You Apply or Discard: nothing happens behind your back.
Hit Prioritise and Otto ranks your whole list by urgency (weighing due dates, how much work is left, status and age), then groups it into Do now · This week · Can wait · Reconsider, and even proposes due-date and delegation changes.
Type something you need to get done. Watch Otto organize it.
Here's how I'd break that down:
The essentials, done well, for one person or a small team.
Taskly is a fully responsive progressive web app with a native-feeling bottom tab bar: add it to your home screen and capture tasks the moment they occur to you. Otto comes along for the ride.
Try it on your phoneEvery workspace is isolated at the database level with row-level security and encrypted in transit. And the email addresses of the people in your workspace are never sent to the AI model: Otto works with stable pseudonyms instead.
