Macro Tasks — Task management built for engineering teams

Macro Tasks brings task management into the same workspace as your email, chat, and docs. It combines status tracking, priority management, GitHub integration, and AI agents that can actually close tasks for you.

Key Features

  • Unified Workspace: Tasks live alongside email, chat, and documents in a single keyboard-driven inbox
  • GitHub Integration: Tasks automatically update status when linked to branches or pull requests (open PR → In Review, merge → Done)
  • AI Agents: Assign tasks to agents that can open PRs, edit docs, and close tasks automatically
  • Context Preservation: Convert emails or messages into tasks without losing original context
  • Keyboard-First Workflow: Full keyboard navigation and shortcuts for rapid task management
  • Task De-duplication: AI agents identify and merge duplicate tasks to keep your workspace clean
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Non-engineers can follow tasks in the same workspace they use for email and chat
  • Open Source: Entire platform is open source under AGPLv3 license

Tech / Self-Hosting

Macro Tasks is available as a cloud-hosted service with a free tier. The entire platform is open source (AGPLv3) and can be self-hosted for complete data control. Self-hosting requires technical expertise to deploy and maintain the full Macro stack including backend services, frontend, and database components.
