A simpler approach totask management
SwiftTasks is a passion project built to solve the frustrations of overly complex task management tools. Learn about the vision behind this project and where it's headed.
From frustration to solution
SwiftTasks was born out of my personal frustration with existing task management tools. As a developer, I found most solutions were either too simplistic or needlessly complex. I wanted something in between—powerful enough for managing projects but still intuitive and easy to use.
I started building SwiftTasks for myself, focusing on creating a clean, user-friendly interface with the essential features I needed daily. No bloat, no unnecessary complexity—just a straightforward way to manage tasks, projects, and documentation in one place.
This project represents my belief that productivity tools should enhance focus, not distract from it. They should be just complex enough to be useful, but simple enough that they never get in the way of actual work.

Why I'm building SwiftTasks
As a developer, I've spent years using various productivity tools—some were too simple, others overwhelmingly complex. SwiftTasks represents my vision for the perfect balance: a tool that's powerful when you need it, and invisible when you don't.
This project combines my technical expertise with my personal frustrations as a user. Every feature is designed with intention, addressing actual pain points rather than adding complexity for its own sake.
I'm developing SwiftTasks in the open, iterating based on feedback and real-world use. My goal is to create something I would want to use every day—and hopefully, you will too.
