Tasks & Projects

How your AI assistant tracks work, manages priorities, and stays organized across conversations.

Agent-Driven Task Creation

Your agent automatically creates tasks from your conversations. You don't need to manually organize or track work — just talk naturally:

You:
"Help me refactor the auth module and write tests for it."
Agent:
I've created a task: "Refactor auth module + write tests". Let me start by reading the current auth code...

Tasks appear instantly in the Tasks page sidebar. Your agent updates them as work progresses, marking subtasks complete and adding notes.

Board, List, and Timeline Views

Pinchr gives you three ways to visualize your work:

📋
Board View

Kanban-style columns: To Do, In Progress, Done. Drag cards to change status.

📝
List View

Clean, priority-sorted list with quick filters. Best for daily work focus.

📅
Timeline View

Visual timeline showing when tasks were created, worked on, and completed.

Switch views anytime from the toolbar at the top of the Tasks page.

Human Tasks

Sometimes your agent needs you to take action — approve a deployment, review code, or provide information. These become human tasks:

Waiting on You
• Review PR #42 for API changes
• Confirm AWS credentials for deployment
• Approve weekly expense report

Human tasks appear highlighted in your task list and trigger a notification. Mark them done once you've handled them, and your agent continues from there.

Projects & Organization

Your agent automatically groups related tasks into projects. You can also create projects manually:

📁
Example: "Launch v2.0"
Refactor authentication
Add payment gateway
Write migration script
Deploy to production

Projects have their own chat context and task board. Navigate between projects from the sidebar or command palette (⌘K).

Search & Filters

Find tasks instantly with powerful search and filters:

🔍 Search tasks...
status:in-progressShow only active tasks
priority:highHigh-priority items
project:launchTasks in Launch v2.0
waiting-on-meHuman tasks

Press ⌘F in the Tasks page to open quick search.

Auto-Archive

Completed tasks automatically archive after 7 days to keep your workspace clean. You can adjust this in Settings → Tasks:

📦
Archive Settings

Choose when to archive: 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, or never. Archived tasks stay searchable and can be restored anytime.

Task-Driven Workflow

Unlike traditional to-do lists, Pinchr's tasks are living documentsthat evolve as your agent works:

  • Tasks update in real-time as your agent makes progress
  • Subtasks appear automatically when your agent breaks down work
  • Context from chat is linked directly to each task
  • Your agent suggests next steps and asks clarifying questions inline

The result? You always know what's happening, what needs attention, and what your agent is working on — without micromanaging.
