Why Truetask

All the convenience of cloud, none of the lock-in.

We host it so you don't have to. And the day you'd rather run it yourself, your whole workspace exports in one click or moves to your own servers. Convenience now, freedom always.

Cloud convenience, zero lock-in.

We run the hosted cloud so you skip the ops: instant setup, backups, fair per-seat pricing. Export your whole workspace as JSON anytime, or move it to your own servers. Your data is never held hostage.

Bring your own AI.

Every plan speaks MCP. Point Claude or any other assistant at your workspace and let it create cards, update tasks, and search notes. Your keys, your models, your data.

Automate the busywork.

A visual builder with conditions, schedules, and HTTP and email actions, all the way up to agent loops that run multi-step work for you.

Bring your old tools with you.

Import from Trello, Asana, Jira, Notion, Linear, GitHub or Todoist. Most boards make the jump in minutes.

The workspace

One workspace. Every view your team thinks in.

Kanban, list, calendar, timeline, files, notes, forms, automations. Same data, the way each person works. And these aren't mockups: they're real screenshots of the board Truetask builds itself on.

AI-native

The first project tool built to be run by your AI.

Truetask ships an MCP server with 173 governed workspace tools on every plan, so assistants do real work: create boards, move cards, write notes, run searches, trigger automations.

  • Pro — 3 credentials with full workspace scope and a bigger AI allowance.
  • Team — 20 credentials with team-wide scope and governance controls.
  • Enterprise — bring-your-own-model in-app AI and autonomous agent loops.

This is a real recording. A three-word title becomes a described, tagged card with a checklist, on the AI credits every cloud plan includes.

For client work

From timer to invoice without leaving the board.

Most tools sell time tracking as an add-on. Here the whole billable pipeline is built in, and client requests arrive through shareable intake forms that land as real cards.

01

Track

One-click timers and manual entries on every card, with estimate-vs-actual budget bars.

02

Approve

Timesheets roll up by member, board, and week for managers to approve in one view.

03

Bill

Per-user billing rates turn approved hours into invoice-ready numbers.

Backlinks

Notes & docs

Notes that live with the work.

Obsidian can't co-edit. Boards can't take notes. Truetask keeps a real knowledge base, with backlinks, versions, and publishing, right next to the cards it talks about.

Import your Obsidian vault.

Drop a .zip and the whole vault arrives with folders and Markdown intact.

Wiki links & backlinks.

[[Link]] notes to each other, see what links back, restore any version.

Real-time co-editing.

Two cursors in the same note without conflicts. CRDTs underneath.

Publish to the web.

Share any note as a public page, with an optional password.

Getting started

We spin it up.

How it compares

Most tools rent you a workspace. This one you can own.

The cloud convenience is the same. The difference is structural: an exit that's always open, and an AI surface the others don't expose.

FAQ

The questions we'd ask too.

Yes. The Free plan is a full hosted workspace: 5 users, unlimited boards and tasks, 512 MB of storage, 5 active automations, intake forms, and a scoped MCP credential for AI assistants. No credit card required.

You'll barely notice. Free workspaces hibernate after a couple of days of inactivity and wake automatically on your next visit. There's nothing to restore and nothing gets lost. Paid workspaces never sleep.

Always. Export the whole workspace as JSON (boards, cards, tags, members, automations) plus your notes as a Markdown zip, anytime. There are no exit fees.

Yes. Run the same app on your own infrastructure with a one-time perpetual license. It deploys with Docker Compose, runs air-gapped if you need it, and every feature is included.

Yes. Every plan, including Free, ships an MCP server with 173 governed workspace tools. Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any other MCP client can create cards, manage boards, write notes, and trigger automations.

No. Copy the config snippet from this page, create a credential in Settings → Integrations → MCP, paste, done. Credentials are scoped, so you control exactly what an assistant can touch.

Every workspace runs on its own isolated instance. Pro starts at 3 seats, Team at 5, Enterprise at 10. That's the minimum billed, and you can add seats anytime.

Export everything (the full workspace as JSON, notes as Markdown) and it's yours to keep or move into a self-hosted install. Leaving amounts to a download.

English, German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. Each member picks their own language.

Automations that are switched on. Drafts are unlimited on every plan, and only enabled automations count toward the limit: 5 on Free, 25 on Pro, 100 on Team, unlimited on Enterprise.

Your workspace is two minutes away.

Free to start. No card. Yours to keep, or self-host.
