Description

“My favorite new Mac app of the year” — John Gruber, Daring Fireball Taska (previously Sonar) is a native Mac app that offers a fast & lightweight alternative to managing tasks from the GitHub or GitLab web UI. Taska can do nearly everything the GitHub or GitLab issues web UI can do, but much faster and much easier!

  • So polished I didn’t realize it was new!

    I’m really impressed with the work the Taska team have put in here! A super polished native app to manage my GitHub issues is amazing for keeping in-flow. The fewer web UIs I have to juggle, the better — it means I get to spend more time squashing bugs and adding features. The GitHub UI really slows me down and frustrates me, so I hope to see this support PR management someday too — pushing a commit then cmd-tabbing back into Taska to double-check and leave comments would be super cool. It’s much more work to ship a full PR experience than to ship just issues, so I don’t expect it, but it would be great! ❤️

    From the moment you open it, you can tell it’s been thoughtfully designed to feel right at home on macOS. The UI is sleek, intuitive, and truly native. It makes communication and project management effortless, keeping our team aligned and productive. Enhances teamwork and accelerates development.

    It should allow me to use just one windows for all my repositories. Maybe allow opening repositories in tabs so I don’t have multiple windows open. If it adds this feature, then I can update the review. As it stands now, one star is a fair review.

    If you’re a developer, you need this. It’s super important to store your issues (features, bugs, future ideas, research, etc) alongside your code. Jira and all the other super expensive trackers never get used in teams. If you’re already using GitHub (or Gitlab) you’ve got Issues tracking…but it’s a terrible interface. Taska is key. You don’t need everyone on your team to use it, but you really do need to be using an issues tracker that works (AND IS STORED ALONGSIDE YOUR CODEBASE!). Use this. It’s delightful!

    Taska is a very nice native Mac interface for turning your GitHub Issues and Milestones into something that feels more like a traditional task tracker. I use it for all of my personal open source projects and while it is not exactly necessary for me to do any of the things I do, I just like it and it keeps me out of the somewhat busy GitHub web interface when I just want to focus on one project and what needs to be done in that project. In May it will have been 1 year since I originally subscribed to the app, and I’m going to keep it going. Taska & GitUp are my go-to apps for classing up my FOSS workflow.
