askileTaskpile

The task manager built for your AI.

Reflection. Planning. Action. The company name is also the loop the product supports - and the loop your AI assistant helps you close.

Taskpile is built by Refleksion · Planlægning · Handling - a small Danish company (CVR-no. DK45818659) that builds quiet, opinionated tools for people who want to get things done without fighting their software.

The three words in our name aren't a slogan; they're the three movements every productive person already does. Notice what's on your plate. Decide what matters. Move on it. Most task apps treat the second step like an end in itself - endless planning, endless tweaking, no doing. We built Taskpile to keep the loop short.

Reflection

The inbox catches everything - voice, AI chat, browser, gut. No deciding at capture time.

Planning

A two-minute daily review moves things to Today, Later, or off your plate. That's it.

Action

One screen. Today's list. Get through it. Tomorrow is a separate concern.

The workflow

Taskpile assumes you work one day at a time. Not a week, not a quarter - one day. The whole product is shaped around that loop:

  1. Capture into the inbox all day, with zero decisions. A thought is a thought; sorting comes later.
  2. Run a two-minute review each morning. Each inbox item gets one decision: Today, Later, or off your plate. That's it.
  3. Work from Today for the rest of the day. The other screens are out of the way unless you go looking for them.
  4. Plan the week in one sitting by promoting a handful of Later items to specific days. The default for Later is "this week or next week" - vague on purpose.

The trick isn't the screens or the shortcuts; it's the constraint. Two buckets (Today, Later) keep planning short. Anything more granular is bureaucracy disguised as productivity.

What we believe about tasks

  • A task list is a planning surface, not a memory. If you put everything you might do in it, it stops being usable. Capture liberally, but trim ruthlessly in review.
  • Deadlines lie. Most "due dates" are projections, not commitments. Taskpile uses horizons (Today, Tomorrow, In a few days, Next week, Someday) so the question is when you'll do it, not when it's technically due.
  • Tomorrow is a separate concern. The Today screen doesn't show tomorrow. Tomorrow shows up in the next review. This isn't a missing feature - it's the point.
  • Priority is a fiction; sequence is real. We don't do P1/P2/P3. You pick what you do next. The list reflects the day, not a ranking.
  • Done is the goal, not "in progress". Status workflows belong in project management software. A personal task is either done or it isn't.

Why we built it

Existing task apps are either too simple (a list, no shape to the day) or too complex (project hierarchies, tags, priorities, statuses - bureaucracy disguised as productivity). The good ones - Things 3, Sunsama - are platform-locked or opinionated in directions we don't share.

What's also missing: a clean bridge between AI assistants and your task list. Half your inbox-worthy thoughts already happen inside a Claude or ChatGPT conversation. They should land in Taskpile in one step, without the copy-paste-open-app-find-project tax.

So we built it native to MCP - the protocol AI assistants speak - and made the rest as fast and quiet as we could.
