What you get

You can manage repository issues without relying on browser tabs.

Taska gives you a Mac workspace for the issues you track on GitHub, GitLab, or Gitea/Forgejo services such as Codeberg. You can create and update tasks, change several at once, and close completed work with a checkbox. Separate windows let you keep different tasks and repositories open while you work.

You can bring important issues to the top, see their priorities, and narrow your list by assignee or status. Saved filters help you return to the same views, while milestones and labels let you organize work around deadlines or categories. You can also find open and closed issues through Spotlight.

You can comment, mention teammates, and receive notifications about GitHub issue assignments and updates. Your teammates can keep using their existing tools. When you’re offline, you can continue working in Taska rather than depending on the web interface.

  • Update issues together

    You can edit multiple tasks at once instead of opening and changing each one individually.

  • Find your next task

    You can pin important issues and filter by assignee or status to focus on relevant work.

  • Organize around deadlines

    You can group issues by milestone or label and set milestone due dates.

  • Keep teammates involved

    You can comment and mention others without requiring your team to switch to Taska.

  • Work without a connection

    You can continue working with your issues offline.

Best for

  • You manage development work through repository issues
  • You regularly sort and update large issue lists
  • You use self-hosted GitLab or Gitea/Forgejo services

Skip it if

You don’t need it if you only want a standalone to-do list and don’t track work through supported repository services.
