$ init tasks
a to-do list that looks like a terminal. one place for your tasks, your projects — and everything you mean to get back to.
from the maker of init.Habits — for everyone who likes the look, no terminal skills required
iOS * macOS * web — all three on day one

features
> quick add speaks plain language
type the thing the way you'd say it — it files itself.
- +dates in plain words — "7 oct", "next fri", "every 2 weeks"
- +#project files it, [tag] labels it
- +no place named? it waits in your inbox
> an inbox for everything
capture now, sort later — a second brain, not just a checklist.
- +capture from the iOS share sheet, a global hotkey, the capture bar
- +a capture becomes a task — or gets filed into a project as reference
- +links fetch their own titles
> structure that scales with your life
a flat list stops working around fifteen items. this doesn't.
- +areas → projects → subprojects
- +drag anything anywhere — even across areas
- +counts and progress roll up on their own
> a today view that tells the truth
overdue rolls in instead of hiding at the bottom of some list.
- +start date and deadline are separate — "could start" isn't "due"
- +next 7 days & upcoming show the week the way you'd plan it
- +reminders fire on every device you own
[t] init.Tasks * mcp built in

paste one url into claude, chatgpt, or anything that speaks mcp — it can read your projects, add tasks, and check things off. with your permission, and only that.
coming in augustmore than a to-do list
> a second brain, built in
a to-do list holds what you must do. init.Tasks also holds everything you need to do it — links, pictures, files, notes — filed into the same projects as the tasks themselves.
throw anything in — links, images, files, notes, code
it lands in the right project — next to the tasks
[✓] group it however you like — your structure, not mine * finish the tasks, and everything you filed is still there in the project
platforms — all three on day one
connect your ai — two clicks, no password
- paste one url into your ai client
- choose read-only or read-and-write
- confirm — you're connected
no password typed, no api key in a config file. if your browser is signed in, your session does the proving. revoke any connection at any time — without changing your password.
39 tools * read-only by default * revocable anytime
ask for a plan, get a real project — then check it off from your phone.
themes — 23 ship with the app, none locked
the dark mode you already use in your editor — dracula * nord * tokyo night * catppuccin * gruvbox * 18 more.

switching from another app — no importer needed
there's no import button yet — and you may not miss it. every task app can export something. hand that file to your ai and ask.
- +export from todoist, things, ticktick — csv, json, whatever it gives you
- +your ai reads it and rebuilds it here — areas, projects, tags, dates
- +then rearrange by hand, or just keep asking
works with any app that exports — the ai does the translating.
