Everything a task needs, nothing it doesn't

• Kanban board and list view, with drag and drop
• One or more assignees, due dates, priorities and labels
• Checklists with progress on the card
• Subtasks, and tasks that block others: a blocked task unlocks when what it waits for is done
• A chat per task with files, image and PDF previews
• Live updates: everyone sees changes within a second
• Short numbers (#12) and links you can share
• Hand a task to an AI agent: the card shows it working, and its time stays on the task

Time on every task

A task can belong to a project and client. Start a timer on it and the time is booked to that project with the right task type. Each task shows its tracked time against the estimate, per person, and Reports can group all time by task.

Free for the whole team

Tasks are included on every plan, for unlimited people. Free includes 500 MB of usage a month; Pro is $29/month for 5 GB when your team shares a lot of files.

Descriptions you can actually write in

A task description is a small document: headings, bold and italics, highlights, bullet and numbered lists, checklists, quotes, code blocks and links. Type / for the block menu, or use Markdown shortcuts and the keyboard shortcuts you already know. It saves a moment after you stop typing and again when you click away. The text is stored as Markdown, so it stays readable in emails, the API and in your AI assistant.

Break work down, and say what waits for what

• Subtasks up to four levels deep, which inherit the parent's project and client
• The parent shows progress (3 of 5 done) on its card, in the list and in its panel
• "Blocked by" and "Blocks" links, picked by number or words, with a limit of 50 blockers per task
• A blocked task can't move to In progress, In review or Done until its blockers are done, and says which ones
• When the last blocker is done, the task unlocks by itself and its people get a notification
• Work handed to an AI agent on a blocked task waits, then queues automatically on unlock

Find your view, then keep it

Filter the board or list by people, projects, clients and labels (several of each at once, or "none"), search by title or number and switch between board and list. Everything sits in the page address, so a filtered view is a link you can paste in chat. Save the ones you use as personal views, up to 50, and open them in one click. New tasks inherit the project and person you are filtering on, so they don't disappear from the view you made them in.

Agents work the board next to people

Pick an AI agent in the assignee field and the card shows it working: waiting, working, needs your answer, done. It reads the description, checklist, files and the discussion before it starts, comments with progress, asks you when it is stuck and logs the time and model cost it spent on the task, apart from yours. The people on the task stay responsible. See AI agents for the full picture.

Link the tasks you already have elsewhere

If the plan lives in Linear, Notion, Teamwork or Asana, paste the address of the issue, page or task onto the Hourtick task. The card shows its title and status, and the time you track is sent back: as a comment with the total when you finish the task (Linear, Notion), or as real time entries (Teamwork, Asana). See Integrations.

On every device

The board is built for phones too: columns snap as you swipe, and changes from teammates appear within a second. The Mac app opens Tasks with ⌘3. Assignments, mentions and unlocks reach you as notifications, in the browser, as Mac banners and as pushes on the Android and iPhone apps.
