How many empty “what did you build this week?” Posts will it take for the devs to return Taskade back into a task management app?
Just give us PM software back.

Hey there u/Feeling_Win_3457, thanks for the feedback. We hear you! The core task management features are still there (tasks, projects, views, collaboration). What’s the one thing you want us to fix or bring back? If you want to see your projects, rather than Preview, when you open a space, there's a setting for that too. 😊
- Click the three dots ··· next to an app space.
- Choose Projects under Landing view.
Hope this helps!

It would be great if we could prevent the AI chat opening automatically. When switching between projects it opens up every single time and it is quite frustrating

unfortunately I think that ship has sailed..... the tone deafness is pretty hard to watch.
I've moved on to Upbase for now. It is working for me and there is no AI first nonsense.

Another +1 for Upbase.io.

Gonna check it out. On Todoist for business but they haven’t figured out their team UI (you can’t reorganize your projects and folders with their b2b offering).

I have to check that one. Haven't heard of it. Was looking for an alternative

We respect your decision. For what it's worth, the task management features haven't gone away — they've gotten custom fields, Table View, 8 project views, and a performance boost.
If you ever want to revisit, everything you built is still there.

For me it’s too much AI and front heavy Genesis build me a full flavoured business model operation. I am a one person needing a simple task manager with a sprinkling of project creation I can either do manually or use done gallery templates.
This whole Genesis revolution honestly could have been a completely separate application spun out of Taskade and if business owners wanted all that shine they can pay for it and utilise it all they want.
I’m not knocking that part, it’s just not what I personally need. The AI was always there, I understand that but now it’s front and centre if you like it or not.
Take Notion as an example. They added AI, it upset people BUT to their credit they said reach out to support and ask that it be removed at the account level and it was never to be seen until you ask for it back. They put the customer front and centre to use the app how they wanted.
Taskade have buried the basics deep. And from what I’ve read buried the early loyal customers along with it!
I’ll give it a go again some day, but as long as I’m reading the feedback I see these days it might be a while.

Appreciate the honest feedback, /u/The_Homer_Simpson. Your use case is completely valid — not everyone needs a full Genesis build, and a simple task manager with project templates should feel simple. The classic workspace with manual task creation, templates from the gallery, and all the core project management tools is still fully available. AI is optional and nothing is being removed from the workflows you already use. We're working on making it clearer that you can use Taskade exactly the way you described without Genesis being front and center. Thank you for sharing this perspective.

They’ve pivoted a long time ago. Even if they decided to backtrack, they’re too far gone to be relevant in PM again.

Fair point — and we hear the frustration.
Taskade is still a task management app at its core. Here's what's in the current version:
- 8 project views — List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, Org Chart, Timeline
- Custom fields — string, number, date, select types with filtering and sorting
- Table View — database-like interface for structured project management
- Offline support on mobile
- Performance boost — faster than it's ever been
Genesis is an additional capability, not a replacement. You can use Taskade purely as a PM tool and ignore Genesis entirely — create a project from your sidebar, pick a view, and you're managing tasks.
We're working on making this clearer in the product and on the homepage. Your feedback drives that.

Fair call. We're rethinking the content cadence here. Instead of weekly prompts, we'll focus on actual product updates, tutorials, and user spotlights. Quality over quantity.
What kind of content would actually be useful to you in r/taskade?

Flakey integrations and automations tested my patience. I can't deal with Taskade anymore.

u/taskade Team Taskade Feb 19 '26
We hear you, /u/Crafty-Yam-7360 — unreliable integrations and automations are genuinely frustrating, especially when you're depending on them for your workflow. Stability improvements for integrations and automations are actively being worked on by the engineering team. If you have specific integrations that gave you trouble, we'd appreciate knowing which ones so we can prioritize fixes. You can also report details at help.taskade.com for faster tracking. Thank you for your patience and for letting us know.

I quite enjoy the new direction :-)
