Taskade
Taskade review. It may look like a writing app, but it’s actually a to-do app. The AI features are quite impressive.
It’s perfect on desktop, but it’s a bit disappointing on mobile.
Task management apps usually adopt some productivity model, such as kanban boards. On the other hand, there are quite a few task management apps that look like writing apps but are actually task management apps. The advantage of these task management apps is that they look like writing apps, so they are easy to input tasks simply by using a keyboard rather than touching a lot. Among these apps, there is an app that has been used by some users in the past, but recently emphasizes its AI features. It’s called ‘Taskade’.

Taskade is a lightweight app that focuses on providing essential features.
The interface may be colorful, but it’s also highly detailed.
While Taskade may not offer the most extensive feature set compared to other apps, it provides spaces for entering specific tasks, schedules, and goals, similar to writing a document. its high level of flexibility allows users with good writing skills to create well-organized plans and documents. The app’s clean interface makes it ideal for creating documents with high readability.
While the app’s overall interface is colorful, the colors can be customized to suit individual preferences. The app’s attention to detail is impressive, such as the filling animation around the icons when tasks are checked, which I found particularly satisfying. Additionally, the app offers time-based templates that allow users to schedule tasks and adjust them in detail, including canceling tasks by time.
Taskade의 기능들에 대해서 조금 더 자세히 적어보고자 합니다. 우선 할일을 추가하고, 그 할일에서 세부적인 할 일(Subtask)같은 것들을 생성하는 요소를 보면 전체적으로 워크플로위와 비슷하다는 느낌도 듭니다. 물론 워크플로위는 * 등으로 항목을 생성하는 그 자체가 앱의 정체성이라고 할 수 있으니 겉으로는 많이 다릅니다만 실제 사용해봤을 때는 뭔가 비슷한 느낌이 나더라고요. 다만 후에 설명하겠지만 생각보다 생긴 것에 비해서 글쓰기 관련 기능은 다소 아쉬운 편입니다. 어떻게 보면 이 부분들 역시 워크플로위와 비슷하다고도 할 수 있겠네요.
And I didn’t know because I mainly tested the app on my smartphone and iPad, but on the desktop, you can express the same tasks as kanban, diagrams, mind maps, and flowcharts! So I think it’s a great app that’s hard to beat on the desktop! However, on smartphones and iPads, you can only see a simple list. This lack of functionality on mobile devices is a significant drawback and I hope it will be improved in the future.
Taskade looks like a writing app, but it’s actually a task app.
If you think of it as a task app, you can use it lightly, but as a writing app, it’s a bit disappointing.
However, like all apps, Taskade also has some personal disappointments, which is that it looks like a writing app but is not. On the surface, Markdown seems to be available, but it does not appear to be. And while document creation seems to be somewhat smooth, there is no “document statistics” feature. I don’t think it’s right if it’s even similar to WorkFlowy in this way; Of course, WorkFlowy is a very rigid app overall, but Taskade is colorful, so there’s a difference in this regard. Of course, here, WorkFlowy has the difference that the app feels deeper as you use it. Taskade doesn’t seem to be that deep…
One of the best things about Taskade is that it offers a good level of AI functionality for free, with some limitations.
Notion and most other apps offer AI features, but they are usually paid and expensive…
In the past, I thought Taskade was just one of the many task apps, but the app developers are heavily promoting the AI functionality. I tried it out, and the advantage is that it supports Korean, and it’s good because you can do quite a lot of things. However, even though it’s a chatbot, it can’t just chatter away. You ask questions and the answers are written on the page. I understand that this is the purpose of the chatbot.
The good thing is that while these apps usually use OpenAI and I have to pay for it, this one allows you to use some AI features even in the free version. Of course, there are some limitations in the free version… But this app is very cost-effective, so it’s practically free for personal use. I think it could be a great choice for people who use chatbots frequently.
Taskade may not be for everyone, but it’s definitely a great to-do app.
I appreciate that the app is frequently updated, but it’s a bit disappointing that the updates are mostly focused on AI features.
I appreciate the app’s features, but I would have liked to see more focus on writing-related functionality. However, although the number of functions is relatively small, the app has a high degree of freedom, so I think it’s a pretty good app for those who use it well. In fact, some people who review the app also consider it the best. As mentioned earlier, I also like that the cost-effectiveness is good. However, it is a bit disappointing that although updates are frequent because the basic functions are already somewhat complete, all the updated functions are related to AI. Of course, this function can differentiate this app from other apps, but I still think it would be great if they added more basic app functions. On the other hand, like all task apps, there are many features that can be used by groups, but it is also an advantage that it is good for single use.
Taskade Conclusion

- The desktop version offers a wide range of features and is a great app overall.
- You can use AI functions to some extent for free.
Bad point
- The functionality is quite lacking on smartphones.
