NAOMS has a Tasks tab: a board for the things you need to do. You add a card, drag it from stage to stage, and watch it reach Done. Behind the board, every change is written into your own history, so the list belongs to you and lives on your devices.

What it is

Most task apps keep your list on a company's server. If the service shuts down, your list goes with it.

NAOMS tasks work differently. Each change is saved as a signed entry in an append-only record: new entries go at the end, and old ones are not rewritten. That gives you three things:

• A full history. You can always answer "who moved this to Done, and when?"
• Sync between your devices. Create a task on your laptop and find it on your phone later, with no cloud service in the middle.
• Sharing on your terms. A personal board has one writer: you. A board shared with a friend lets you both add to it. A team board in a hive (a shared group space in NAOMS) can be open to every member.

A morning with Tasks

Say Maya is organising a neighbourhood fundraiser.

1. She opens the Tasks tab. The board starts clean, with five columns: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Blocked and Done.
2. She presses "+ Task", types "Book the hall", sets a priority and a due date, and presses Create. The card lands in Backlog.
3. When she phones the hall, she drags the card to In Progress.
4. She adds subtasks: "Get a quote" and "Pay the deposit". The parent card keeps count of how many are done.
5. Her friend Sam is helping. They share a board, both see the same cards, and Maya assigns "Print posters" to Sam.

When the board grows, Maya switches to a sortable List view.

Gates that keep shared work honest

A column can carry a gate: a condition a card must meet to enter it. For example, all subtasks must be done before the parent moves forward, or a person, not an automated process, must make the move.

Gates let a team make "Done" really mean done, whoever moves the card.

Tasks in context

A task can belong to a project, a friendship or a hive channel, and a task tied to a friendship syncs with that friend. Tasks can also depend on each other.

For builders, the package also offers tools for creating, querying, assigning, completing and scheduling tasks, for your own scripts or agents.

Who it is for

Tasks suits you if you want your to-do list to live next to your messages, contacts and files, and to stay yours. It suits small groups who want one shared board without handing the data to a third party. It also suits builders who want a task system they can script.

What's next

• Coming next: a screen for editing gate rules. Today they are set through the board tools, not in the Tasks tab.
• Coming next: cleaner removal of dependencies and assignments. Those two actions are still incomplete.
• Tasks is marked experimental, so expect some rough edges.
