TextTasker: task management and asset tracking through a text message

TextTasker manages your to-do list and tracks your car's maintenance schedule via Telegram. No app, no dashboard — just text what you need.

The productivity app market has a crowded middle ground: apps that are feature-rich enough to require onboarding, but not powerful enough to justify the overhead. You spend more time managing the system than doing the work.

TextTasker is built on a simpler premise: you already have a messaging app open. Use that.

Task management that actually sticks

TextTasker lives in Telegram. You add tasks by typing them in plain language:

add pay rent on the 1st every month

That creates a recurring monthly task. No forms, no dropdowns, no “create new task” button to find.

list

Shows your current tasks with due dates. Everything is readable at a glance.

snooze 2 until friday

Pushes task #2 to Friday. One word, done.

The intelligence is in the parsing. “Next Tuesday”, “end of month”, “in 3 days” all resolve correctly. You write the way you think; TextTasker handles the date math.

Asset tracking with automatic maintenance

This is the feature that separates TextTasker from a simple task bot. Tell it about something you own:

add asset 2022 Honda Civic with 45000 miles

TextTasker creates the asset and automatically generates maintenance tasks based on manufacturer schedules:

Oil change due at 50,000 miles
Tire rotation due in 3 months

When you update the mileage, it recalculates:

update mileage civic 47500

⚠️ Oil change due in ~2,500 miles

This works for cars, appliances, HVAC filters, anything with a maintenance schedule. The asset lives in TextTasker; you just update it when something changes.

Why this works

The core insight is that task management friction compounds. Every extra tap, every app switch, every time you have to remember where you put something — each one is small, but together they kill the habit.

TextTasker lives in your existing messaging layer. You’re already there. The barrier to adding a task approaches zero, which means you actually add tasks instead of trying to remember them.

No app to download. No account to manage. No dashboard to maintain.
