I got tired of boring productivity apps, so my team and I spent 7 years building a better one

Quick note: MagicTask is currently optimized for the web. Our mobile app is coming next month! Thanks for all the support!

Hey everyone,

I’m Sudo Innominate, creator of MagicTask.

My team and I have spent about 7 years building and rebuilding it around one idea: productivity software shouldn’t feel like a chore to use.

MagicTask isn’t a task manager with gamification added on top. The entire experience was built around gamification from the ground up. Your work drives your progression through realms and dungeons, builds streaks, unlocks collectibles, earns rewards, and gives you a reason to keep coming back.

At the same time, we’ve worked really hard to keep it simple. Productivity software can get bloated fast, and we never wanted MagicTask to become something you need a training course to understand. You should be able to jump in, know what to do, and get moving.

It’s built mainly for teams of 10 to 200 people, but it works great for individuals too.

I want to get it into the hands of more real users, so the first 100 workspaces get 1 full year free.

Feel free to share the code with anyone you think could use it.

And if you try it, please tell me what you really think. Good or bad. That feedback genuinely helps us shape what we build next.
