To make planning, working and re‑planning work in practice, Task Matter comes with a few supporting functionalities.
Home for your ongoing work
Keep what you're working on now, and what comes next, in one ordered list across all your goals. It's where each day starts.
Nothing gets lost
Every file, link and note you add to your Matter is kept in one place. Search and filter it across active and finished goals.
Feel good about what you've done
Every task you finish is recorded. Look back over your days, weeks and months, and watch your momentum score grow.
Matthieu Scholler who builds Task Matter
Tackling personal goals has always been a challenge for me, be it because of fear of getting stuck, or not being able to juggle more tasks than I can fit into my life.
We're talking goals in real life, not only digital life. My goals include jobs around the house and garden, social life, learning, fitness and life admin.
AI can help figure things out and choose what to focus on next. But we don't want AI to direct our lives either. Task-first AI builds on the idea that your goal is what matters. The plan gives the context for you and AI to collaborate on what you are doing now.
Taking a step back, AI is changing how we tackle non-trivial things. And this creates an opportunity for our task apps to be a lot more useful and fulfill their potential.
Using Task Matter daily has been a joy. My mental blocks for big goals have been replaced with a new eagerness to do the work. I hope Task Matter can help others feel that way too.
Whatever you want to achieve, in every part of your life, give it a go.
Most task apps are built for tracking: capturing tasks, organising them and ticking them off. Task Matter is built for doing, and doing it well. Each task has its own space to think it through, keep what you find and work with AI, and the plan adapts as you go. You see it in the results: a paint finish that lasts, clear video calls, a party where every child is looked after. That’s where the feeling of accomplishment comes from: the pride of a job well done, often for the people you care about.
Your plan, notes, and AI threads are stored in your browser first, so Task Matter can load quickly and keep working offline. They are also synced to Task Matter’s servers so you can recover your work and use it across devices.
When you use AI, the request and the relevant Task or Matter context are sent to the selected AI provider. Task Matter does not send your whole account with every question.
You can download both your current data and its change log directly from Settings in RDF N-Quads format.
Task Matter is not end-to-end encrypted today. During the beta, you can request deletion of your account and its server-side data by emailing hello@taskmatter.ie with the subject “DELETE”. Read the privacy notice for more detail.
No. You can manage your tasks without using AI. Task Matter keeps AI inside the workspace panel called Matter. The same input can add a note or prompt AI, so help is available when you want it without interrupting ordinary task management.
In my daily use, that input has been close to a 50/50 split between notes and attachments and questions for AI. Matter remains useful as a workspace even when you do not use AI.
Task Matter is free during beta, subject to fair usage. Hosting and AI have ongoing costs.
I’m Matthieu Scholler, and I’m building Task Matter drawing on 20 years of experience building software. I shaped its architecture, user experience, and feature ideas. AI helped write the code, while the product decisions and the work of turning them into a coherent experience have been human-led.
For support or to report a bug, join the Task Matter Discord. To request a feature or follow existing requests, use the Task Matter Featurebase board. Both links are available in the banner at the top of Task Matter.
No. Task Matter currently has Focus, where tasks can be Current or Scheduled, but Scheduled is an ordered queue rather than a date or time on a calendar. Use your calendar for appointments and time-specific commitments, and Task Matter for the work, context, and next actions around them.
The Vault brings together all the files, links, and notes attached to your plan items. Use search and filters to find content across your goals, including goals you’ve already completed. Each item shows what it is attached to, and you can preview it, download it, or ask AI about it.
“Vault” describes an organised place for supporting material. It is not a password manager or an encrypted store for secrets.
A general assistant that can act across many apps solves a different problem. Task Matter starts with a visible, persistent plan. Its AI works within the goal, task, action item, or document you are looking at, and the useful result stays connected to that work.
The aim is focused help with a structure you can inspect and return to, rather than giving a broad assistant open-ended responsibility for your digital life.
An integration can be a useful way to connect tools you already use. Depending on the integration, though, important constraints, decisions, and results can remain in chat history rather than staying connected to the tasks they inform.
In Task Matter, the plan and its working context share one model. AI can reason from the relevant Matter, make structured changes to the plan, and leave the conversation beside the task that prompted it.
Obsidian is excellent for local notes and a highly customisable knowledge base. You can build a capable task and AI system with plugins, templates, and your own conventions.
Task Matter is for people who want that relationship already designed: goals, tasks, next actions, Focus, supporting material, and scoped AI all follow the same structure without assembling or maintaining a plugin setup.
Notion is a flexible workspace for pages, databases, and team processes. That flexibility is useful when you want to design your own system.
Task Matter is focused on personal goals. Every task has a place for notes, decisions, supporting material, and AI conversations. What you learn can shape the plan without building databases or connecting extensions first.
