Every task app I've used lets me move a deadline with one click. So I did, again and again, until the dates stopped meaning anything. Taasker is my attempt to fix that for myself: a task tracker where a deadline has teeth, and you decide what they are. How it works: Three kinds of date per task, all optional. A soft target ("I'd like it done by"), a real due date, and a hard deadline. They put different amounts of pressure on you, so it isn't one nagging alarm. Pressure that builds gradually. Miss a target and you get one quiet nudge. Reminders start 3 days before the due date, once a day. In the last 24 hours before the hard deadline they come every 4 hours. Each task shows how late it is with a color that climbs through five tiers, so you can see where to start. 3 reschedules, then the date locks. Moving the due date or the hard deadline uses one. After the third, it's fixed. Once a hard deadline has passed, it can't move at all. An accountability partner. Name someone, a friend, a colleague, your partner, and if you miss the hard deadline, they get an email. They don't need an account. They get a short note when you name them, and can opt out with one click. No escape hatch at the last minute. In the final 24 hours you can't delete the task, swap out the contact, or unlink a streak to dodge the consequence. You can still finish it, or own the miss with a reason. Streaks for recurring tasks. Weekly report, monthly invoices, taking meds: a miss resets the streak. It's also a normal task tracker: projects you can share with roles, a month calendar and an agenda view, a calendar feed you can subscribe to in Google or Apple Calendar, quiet hours, a daily digest, keyboard shortcuts and a command palette, themes, and it installs to your phone's home screen. On privacy, since it's about your tasks: it's hosted in the EU (Frankfurt), there are no tracking or ad cookies, and the admin tools I use to run it show accounts, not your projects or tasks. It's a free private beta, and I would love your feedback: does a locked date and someone watching motivate you, or does it just stress you out? And what's the deadline you always end up moving?
