Slash - A productivity machine that forces you to do tasks 1-by-1

Slash is a new type of to do app that actually helps you get things done VS just make lists. Add your tasks, hit 'Start' to enter hyper focus mode, and never leave flow-state. Level up with Pomodoros, Eisenhower Matrix sorting, time-based tasks + more.

We created Slash after realizing that todo list apps are hopelessly broken. They're great at making lists, but offer you no help in crossing them off. In fact, they often create even more stress when you're staring at a list 100 items longs. Slash is a task "do-er" that helps you CRUSH your list by focusing on one task at a time. Quickly enter your tasks, hit 'Start', and the window shrinks down to a small always-on-top window that shows your current task and how long you've been working on it. When you're done, hover over the task name and click 'Done'. Then you get a random "You're awesome" GIF, and the option to start the next task, or take a break. The idea is that you create your list once in the morning, and then never have to choose what to do next. It also bakes in a ton of other productivity tools like: - Pomodoros (20-30 minute work periods with 5 minute breaks) - Eisenhower Matrix (Tagging tasks as urgent/important for automatic prioritisation) - Timed Tasks (Type in 'Do _______ for 20 minutes' and the task will start with a 20 minute countdown) - Time Tracking (Check out the analytics dashboard to see what you spent the most time on, your most productive days + hours, etc) - Integrations with Trello, Asana, Todoist, etc. -- Coming soon! (Import your tasks from a list app, and get them done in Slash) Our mission is to help people get more done, and actually move closer to their dreams. We'd love your feedback to help us better the app and enable a world of smaller todo lists :)

@jlejuwaan @jijosunny Same for me!

@jlejuwaan @jijosunny @orellanaed @cellus_christie Had the same issue, but it actually worked when I used an invite code. Feel free to use mine: cIM-SZgy
Aliasgar Murtaza
@jijosunny I found the issue. Try signing up again with a different email address with a password without any special characters (mine was *). @jlejuwaan Looks like your passwords are not supposed to have special characters.

Slash looks awesome, well done! I just tried it out and the UX though beautiful is confusing: * I added items to my list then started "slashing" and saw a timer at the bottom * I clicked on the timer to figure out what was going on / possibly turn off the animating timer which I find visually distracting * this marked the item as "done" when I clicked on it with no way of marking it as "not done" from there. If I click "edit tasks", that task is no longer in the list and I can't mark it as todo again * I found the "Done" tab with my task on it but when I clicked the left arrow which I imagined would move it back to the "todo" list, it was moved to another "later" list which I can't find I think you need a better tutorial during your onboarding flow 😅

@alxcnwy I've had a few UX problems as well. Love the app but the UX is confusing at best.
Jordan Lejuwaan
@alxcnwy I see how that would be confusing! We'll work on a better onboarding tutorial. I really appreciate the feedback.

@alxcnwy @jlejuwaan I don't think an app this simple should really have an onboarding flow. It just needs a few tweaks to really improve the UX. I'm an ex-Google PM in NYC, so if you ever want to chat about this - I would love to help!
Jordan Lejuwaan
@robjbye ha, @bootl is going to love seeing you say this. I'm in NYC too, so I'd love to meet up and chat UI/UX.

@bootl Hey 👋 I'm trying to create an account but it ask me an invite code. Could you give me one? 🙏
Jeff Bowen
@julionavr You can use mine: spoICgPI
Matt Leta
@julionavr what is the error info you get? Slash is free and open once you download it so no need for the code on sign up (next version will state that it's optional ;)). Codes will be used for extra perks.
Dylan Steck
@bootl @julionavr I'm having the same issue

A real problem!

Nicely designed! I love that it's on Mac. But... does it just stick there in the front? Would be a bit annoying if it blocks something...?
Primer
@nguy_n_hung_tu_n1 Am I missing something? How do you sign up? It's asking me for an invite code.
Matt Leta
@nguy_n_hung_tu_n1 you can drag the Focus Bar around or switch to hide it and show status in menubar @mickc79 the invite code is optional :)
Primer
@nguy_n_hung_tu_n1 @bootl cool - feedback in that case; you should say it's optional. The input field for 'invite code' is identical in every way to email and password fields.
Jordan Lejuwaan
@nguy_n_hung_tu_n1 You can also disable the focus bar and just show your current task in the Mac menu bar to keep your screen clean, if you prefer
Matt Leta
@mickc79 fair point! We'll add this with next update, thanks for feedback!
Jeff Bowen
Pretty! Just completed my first Slash task — add Slash to ReferCodes. You can share your Slash invite code with your friends here: https://refer.codes/slash/
Matt Leta
@jeffbowen thanks for setting this up!
Jeff Bowen
@bootl Of course! Impressed you had a referral system on day one!
Derek Pankaew
It says "Hmm. It looks like you're offline." When trying to sign up.
Rahul Kumar
@bootl I too am facing this issue, can you help us out?
Krish Jagirdar
I’ve had a chance to use this product and unlike other productivity apps, this app forces me to be on task and focused on the work I SHOULD be doing. Love it
Agustín
I cant wait to use in windows, looks really nice!
