Install
Download the current Windows installer from the download page. The trusted beta installer is unsigned, so Windows may show SmartScreen warnings. Confirm the app name is Taskmin before running it.
- Close Taskmin before reinstalling.
- Run the installer and launch Taskmin from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.
- Use a tester account only if cloud sync is part of your current test.
Core concepts
Taskmin is single-user and local-first. Projects contain workstreams and tasks. Notes can link to the planning objects they support. Calendar events and trips provide time context without turning events into tasks.
Workspace surfaces
- Inbox captures loose work before it has a home.
- Tasks combines table and Timeline/Gantt planning.
- Calendar shows events, trips, and task markers.
- Notes organizes notebooks, sections, pages, templates, and links.
- Tools owns AI Chat, AI Bridge, MCP setup, import review, and backups.
AI Bridge
AI Bridge is the reviewed/manual path. Taskmin exports AI-friendly markdown context, an AI proposes changes in import files, and Taskmin validates those staged changes before anything is applied.
MCP Server
MCP is the trusted direct-write path for local clients such as Claude Desktop and Codex. It requires local setup and may require Node.js during V1. Web subscriptions cannot connect directly to a local stdio MCP server.
Current beta limits
- Windows is the first packaged platform.
- The installer is unsigned during trusted beta testing.
- Public sign-up and password reset are follow-up work.
- Encrypted cloud backup upload/download is gated until entitlement and encryption are complete.
- Web/mobile companion support is planned after the desktop workflow stabilizes.
