For Startups & Indie Hackers

My First Task for Startups & Indie Hackers

Most task managers assume you already know what you're building. My First Task starts a step earlier — at the idea — and carries it through to a launched product.

Where This Usually Gets Messy

Half-formed ideas pile up in a notes app where nobody, including you, revisits them
Every new idea that gets a full project spun up for it adds overhead you don't have time for
A heavyweight PM tool is overkill for a team that's you, a co-founder, and maybe one contractor
No visibility into what's actually shipping this month versus what's still just a maybe

How Startups & Indie Hackers Use It

01

Capture every idea as it comes

Log it in the idea backlog — no board, no commitment — and move it through Considering and Planned as it takes shape.

02

Convert the ones worth building

One click turns a Planned idea into a real project, seeded with the Launch a SaaS template's stages and starting tasks.

03

Track it from planning to launch

Planning → Development → Testing → Production → Maintenance → Completed — the whole build cycle in one place, not scattered across a notes app and a spreadsheet.

04

Keep the whole team (however small) in sync

Invite a co-founder or contractor into the workspace with a role that matches what they should touch.

Start From a Built-In Template

The Launch a SaaS template ships with the app — apply it and the stages below are ready before you add a single task.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this useful if it's just me?

Yes — a workspace of one still gets the idea backlog, boards, and reporting. Nothing requires a team to be worth using.

Can I run more than one product idea at a time?

Yes — the Free plan supports up to 3 active projects, which covers most solo founders juggling a main product and a side experiment.

What happens to an idea I decide not to build?

Archive it — it's out of your active backlog but not deleted, in case priorities change later.
