Who builds Taskly
Taskly is made by one person. That shapes what it is, so it seems worth saying plainly rather than hiding behind a “we.”
Saba Majidi
Founder, Taskly
Saba Majidi builds Taskly, an AI-native task manager, as a solo founder: the product, the writing and everything in between. Holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology, which is where the writing here about attention, motivation and systems people actually stick to comes from.
Saba on LinkedInWhy Taskly exists
Most task tools sit at one of two extremes. Either they are heavy project-management systems that need a dedicated admin and a training session, or they are a list of checkboxes that falls over the moment real work touches it. Teams that are too small for the first and too serious for the second end up running their work out of chat messages and memory.
Taskly is built for that middle: real structure (boards, subtasks, recurring work, assignment, separate deadlines and do-dates) without the setup project. Lightweight but real.
The rule the product is built around
The industry is racing toward AI that acts on your behalf without asking. For work you are accountable for, that is the wrong default. If an assistant quietly reschedules your week, you have to check everything it touched, and checking costs more than doing.
So Otto, the assistant inside Taskly, proposes. It shows every change it wants to make as a before-and-after view, and nothing happens until you approve it. That constraint is the product, not a setting. There is more on the reasoning in AI that asks first, and on the data handling in security and data protection.
About the writing here
Everything on the blog is written here rather than commissioned, which is why the byline is a person and not a content team. The ADHD and productivity pieces draw on a master’s in counseling psychology as well as on building the tool, but they are practical writing, not clinical guidance, and each one says so at the end. For anything that is actually affecting your work or wellbeing, a clinician who knows your situation is the right person to talk to.
Get in touch
The fastest route is LinkedIn. Feedback about the product, especially the parts that annoy you, is genuinely useful when one person is deciding what to build next.
