Manifesto

Organizing the work became the work.

Somewhere along the way, we started labeling, prioritizing and color-coding everything. We moved tasks from one list to another and called it planning. And at the end of the day, the task was still there.

Productivity apps turned into productivity theater. Another inbox to empty. Another system to keep alive. More overhead, not less.

Tasq asks a smaller question: what's the one thing you're doing right now?

One task, in sight.

You write it in your notch, the one place on your screen that's always in view and never in the way. It stays there while you work. Not in a list you have to open, not behind a shortcut you have to remember. Just there, at the edge of your eye.

Only the time that counts.

Tasq counts the minutes you actually spend on it. Lock your Mac, let it sleep or step away, and the clock waits for you. Now and then the notch checks in with three slow beats. Nothing to dismiss, nothing to answer. Just a nudge back to the one thing.

Less, on purpose.

No backlog. No projects, tags or priorities. No Pomodoro rounds, no account, no cloud, no AI deciding what comes next. Not because they're missing: each one is a way to organize the work instead of doing it.
