Slash pre-launched and got #1 on Product Hunt 1 whole year ago! Since then we've been coding like maniacs to add the features our users voted for most, and some extra fun stuff we dreamed up :) The result is Slash 1.0. A major focus with 1.0 was helping you start your day with greater clarity + focus AND ending your day resolutely when you're done working. **Weekly Mode** Adds a 'This Week' column so you can plan out all your tasks for the week and track your progress (a la Sprint/Kanban). **Start Your Day** When you open Slash in the morning, it will ask you if you want to plan out your day, which clears your tasks from yesterday into 'This Week' and has you drag over the tasks you will work on today. **End Your Day** After you're done working, hit the 'End Day' button to get an uber-satisfying animation crossing off all the tasks you did that day, a progress bar of your tasks for the week, and an invitation to close the app and go have some fun. **Mobile App 1.0** You can now re-order, change lists and schedule tasks on our iOS + Android apps. **150+ other features** Big things to little things that make using Slash more of a joy, including keyboard shortcuts, multi-task selection, resizable focus bar, achievements, new branding, etc. Our mission is to help people make meaningful progress towards their dreams. I would love it if you gave Slash a try and see if it does that for you.

@bootl Awesome, it's been some time, any ETA?

Honestly, the only fault I find with the app is its name. Could we slash Slash?

@dimadewinn Haha I love that!

@kirkyard It used to be called Task Slayer, but we wanted something a bit more agnostic :)

@kirkyard @jlejuwaan kept the heavy guitar vibe though! ;)

I found his product thanks to Higher Existence, I only had to heard its function once to download it, try it, and I got hooked. Having a functional to do list that is integrated with my computer screen so that I can have the pressure to work on what I set myself out to do that day. I appreciate you guys doing this, a great idea, executed brilliantly, I did not even realized after 2 months that it was pre-launch, haha. I thought it was a finish product but then recently it got updated to 1.0 and I realized, holy shit! it gets better? You people are awesome, I ditch all the Pomodoro clocks, timers and to do list apps for this one, so i am eternally grateful!
Matt Leta
@pedropmora Amazing! Yes we finally arrived to something we were proud enough to call 1.0 :) and following 1.0.3 last night, the 1.0.4 is already coming today with some updates and fixes for reported issues!

Been using Slash 1.0 for a few weeks. Absolutely love it! I am in that awkward stage where I both do consulting work for another company, while also trying to manage my own business, keep up with investing and of course my personal life. Having tried quite a few "todo" list apps before. I always spend a ton of time setting them up. But I still get distracted in the middle of my day. With Slash, it has a cool "Focus" mode, where the task I'm supposed to be working on is always in my view, and does an occasional "jump" to get my attention. I found that since using Slash I am able to stay more focused on getting my tasks done without getting distracted. And who doesn't love the encouraging Gifs every-time you finish a task? That's just genius! I rarely review or share applications, but this one is absolutely worth it if you are anything like me with tons of things to do, but also tends to get a little distracted sometimes. A+ application, my only 2 wishes for the future is a lifetime subscription and integration with Things 3. ?makers are doing a fantastic job with this application! following: https://support.getslash.co/234

@mark_lyck Lifetime is coming :) Things is tricky as it didn't have an API when we looked into it, but we'll check again!

I would not have my job if it weren't for Slash! Here's why: I got slash while working on my PhD, a sweet post-doc/research associate position popped up and I needed to sprint to the finish. The only problem, COVID and working from home had been rough on my productivity and I had TONS to do to finish my dissertation in time to be eligible for the job. SLASH TO THE RESCUE. Slash helped me chunk out projects but unlike other to-do lists, I the timer helped keep me honest about how much time I had been productive in a given day. Slashing 8 hours of (productive) work over 10 hours at the computer or 6 hours of work over 7-8 hours helped make sure I was getting a lot done and not spending all day on email, reading the news, surfing the web or writing product reviews :-). The mild gamification and added accountability are a huge help. But don't take my word for it, give it a try!
Matt Leta
@jeffrey_bush Amazing so glad our app could help! The funny thing is average american is only productive for near 3h during an 8h work day normally, which means 5 hours, of each day, of each working American go to waste on social media, emails etc. Mad! If we only worked 4h/day and took the rest off, we'd be more productive. And that's pretty much our goal, take the distraction away, help everyone be 2x as productive and let them do what they want with their spare time :) Thank you for the note!
Jeffrey Bush
@jeffrey_bush @bootl Totally! I didn't know those stats but that definitely resonates with my experience. Slash was so good for optimizing my efficiency during a busy time, I bet it would be great too for "optimizing" work/life balance too during periods of normal work load.

This app has one of the best balances of thoughtful design while allowing customisation and being extremely feature rich. Hoping for a more powerful mobile app as the desktop app is now perfect due to how willing the developers are to take on feature requests and implement them in a thoughtful way. It seems like the people who make this app actually use the app (rare compliment :p). On a serious note, it really helps with focusing esp. with adhd symptoms as the timer is always there to bring your focus back and the app just gets out of the way after the planning stage.

@yuuyuu Thank you! We've been getting great feedback on what this can do for people with ADHD, however we haven't dived in direction of proving its effects enough yet. It will be great to hear more! Happy we built something you use! :)

Slash is the tool I've spent years looking for. The following is probably longer the average PH comment and on reflection almost reads like sales copy (I don't know anyone on the team), but whatever. Slash is great. Slash encourages all the behaviors that you already know about from the reams of information you've consumed on task and time management... if only the tools facilitated them seamlessly and didn't require you to make a pot of green tea and read six articles on zen habits and meditate upon your intentions for two hours and then create a series of SWOT analyses and GANTT charts before diving into your first task. For example: Slash encourages you to prioritize your week and day — and not just by giving you a Today view, but by making this a fluid part of its process — and it builds in techniques like Pomodoro and timeboxing to help you get started and get done. Many apps build similar features in, but none of them integrate them well into the workflow itself. You can configure certain tasks to open certain links when you begin, such as your inbox for an email sprint. Including a period of time in the name starts a countdown when you begin the task. This means all those process-y or batch-driven tasks without finite end states (as per best practice GTD methodology) are given one without any extra effort. That's at least four different apps, paper processes, or unfulfilled intentions eliminated from the Unrealistic Workflow of the Ascended Unpressured. Slash is clearly designed in a very intentional way to reduce the friction in your way and allow you to slash through tasks. Most importantly of all, it makes maintaining your context core to how it operates. In an editorial role that's heavy on the tabs, distractions, and a blend of production and management work, my quantitatively not-great working memory is constantly being whacked around like a tennis ball. The best tools for me have always kept the context of my current activity cued in my visual field. Otherwise, yeah, I'm taking care of this thing here that needed to be done at some point, but I have no idea how I got here or what I had set out to do two steps before that. This has only gotten worse as constant attention-seeking has woven itself into the internet's fabric (as I'm sure anyone reading this can attest) and as Slack has inserted itself into our lives like a hemorrhoid. Not an issue with Slash. Whether I look at the menubar or the bottom of my screen, the right mental framing is always at hand. Slash is a tool for real-world use that makes all other task managers look like ivory tower constructions. I've used them all, and quotes from my reviews as a reformed Lifehack writer have done years on some of their homepages. They were all fuzzy approximations of what we thought we needed. Now, I'm jaded enough that I'm not going to tell you that Slash is the be-all and end-all and can't be improved upon, but it's such a step up that it'll have you wondering how we wound up so far afield in this space for so many decades. But not for long, because this app provides the solution, too, and you can forget about all of that and start making up for lost time immediately. Get it.

@jfalconer So glad you appreciate the Week / Day model! We spent months testing it internally and it had a massive impact on our own workflow, but weren't sure if everyone can adopt it. And man, this really does read great - and better than any promo copy we came up with - we never advertised Slash outside of ProductHunt, but this is inspiration. Thank you! 🙌

Hey, you, the one who have already tried the thousand productive apps that are in the market, the one who have stayed countless nights watching youtubers reviewing different methods to be focus. I ask you to stop. Stop blaming yourself for spending more time setting your work environment, than actually working: It´s not (completely) your fault. We all have been there. In the oasis of self-development, where books are growing as fast as your To-do list does. It´s the Paradox of Choice. The more options you have, the less free you feel to make the right choice. That uncertainty time is over. After years of comparison between the pros and cons of the different productive apps in the market, I made my best move switching to SLASH. In my opinion, it combines the best of the to-do lists apps with an appropriate focus philosophy. This app rewards your work. It reminds you, in the end of every session or finishing your day, that you are one step closer to your goals. And that’s priceless.

I came, I slashed, I conquered. Feeling full on Julius Caesar after using Slash first thing this morning. What a delightful experience. I am usually skeptical of task apps but Slash feels like a keeper. Well done!
