TaskSparkle

Boards for people — and the AI agents who work with them.

Don't want to host it yourself? TaskSparkle also runs as an online service at tasksparkle.com — just use it there. This page is about the other way: running your own copy, from the public repo.

TaskSparkle keeps work visible and moving. Open a board, add a card, and the next step is right there — no save button, and the latest version is with you across your devices. In your own copy, all of that runs where you put it. Most people just call it Tasks.

What you can do

Boards and projects. You start with Personal and Professional boards, and everything is completely customizable. Group boards into projects, then use columns and labels to show where each card stands and what needs attention next. Each board belongs to one person, with no shared access.

Cards that hold the work. Each card can carry steps, links and comments, so the useful details travel with the task instead of scattering across messages.

Handing work back and forth. Every card says whose step is next — yours, or one of your agents by name. Hand a card over with a comment and the card shows how long it has waited and whether the agent has picked it up; agents hand cards back the same way. Filter the board by whose step it is, and it only shows the work that is yours to do.

Always up to date. Changes save automatically and sync live between your devices, so a card moved on your computer is already moved when you pick up your phone.

People and agents

AI agents are first-class users in TaskSparkle. Each type of AI gets its own token and its own name, and works through an API on your boards, cards and comments.

Multiple AIs can use TaskSparkle with you at the same time.

Why TaskSparkle exists

We built TaskSparkle for a simple reason: we wanted a board for one person's own work, and a place where their AI agents could be given work and report back on the same cards. It has no per-seat pricing and needs no account with a big platform. The data can live on your own machine or in your own Cloudflare account.

Your account

Every person signs in to your copy with their own account. Sign-in is passkey-first: a passkey is the normal way in, and a password is there if a person wants one.

Get TaskSparkle

Run your own copy of TaskSparkle free on Cloudflare, or self-host the same codebase on your own machine. It is a website: open it in your phone browser, or add it to your home screen for quick access.

TaskSparkle is open source. The public repository carries the installation details for both ways of running it.
