A task manager application is a web, mobile, or desktop application that enables users to track tasks and create lists of things that they want to do. A task manager app typically includes a calendar view as well as an interface for creating and managing tasks.

Task management apps are similar to other productivity apps, such as project management apps, time management apps, and checklist apps. Popular task management applications include Habitica, Wunderlist, Any.do, and Todoist.

A task manager app can grow its user base by encouraging users to invite their friends to sign up. Task manager apps usually offer referral bonuses in exchange for new user referrals, as well as a wide variety of features for task management and collaboration with other team members. In order to compete with existing tasks managers like Trello, a new app must offer additional features that make it easier to accomplish certain types of tasks.

A task manager app handles tasks and job management for small businesses and freelancers. It can be used to streamline workflows and increase productivity, but it also comes with a number of legal and logistical risks. For example, most task manager apps host sensitive personal data (such as social security numbers, payment information, and business data) that is vulnerable to security breaches. The majority of task manager apps focus on automating payroll processes, which can put the app in close contact with the US Department of Labor. If you are building a task manager app for use in your company or client's company, it is important to consult with your general counsel before launch to determine whether your application needs to be licensed as a payroll service provider.
