The task manager your AI agents can actually run.
Focus Forge is a fast, dark-first task and project manager with a built-in AI agent. Plan your day, point an autonomous Claude Code loop at your tasks, and ship — on web, iOS, and macOS.
Your backlog, run autonomously
Focus Forge is built to be driven by agents. Drop this one-liner into Claude Code and it will keep clearing your task list — opening PRs and verifying deployments — on its own.

Watch on a loop
Every minute, the agent checks Focus Forge for new or open tasks.
Spawn a team
It fans out a team of subagents — one per task — working in parallel.
Ship through PRs
Each task is completed and opened as a reviewable pull request.
Verify deploys
It confirms the work reaches staging and production before moving on.
Everything you need to plan and ship
A complete project manager underneath the AI — fast, dark-first, and mobile-ready.
Task management that gets out of the way
Due dates, priorities, tags, subtasks, reminders, and recurring tasks — with a fast, keyboard-friendly Today and Upcoming view.
A built-in AI agent
Ask questions about any project and let the agent create, edit, and complete tasks for you — with a resilient 3-provider fallback so it keeps working.
Organizations & projects
Group work across multiple organizations and projects, with favorites, archiving, drag-and-drop ordering, and role-based team access.
Calendar & time-blocking
See your tasks on a calendar, block time, and plan your day so the important work actually gets a slot.
Email, turned into tasks
A connected inbox, drafts, and composer mean the messages that create work live next to the work itself.
See it in motion
Short clips of the real app — no mockups.
DevNotes: structured metadata, hidden in plain sight
Tasks can carry machine-readable metadata alongside their human description. DevNotes lets agents and tooling embed structured data — branch names, PR links, deploy status, estimates — that travels with the task but never clutters what you read.
- Embedded inline, stripped cleanly from the visible description
- Stored separately in the database so it stays queryable
- Perfect for autonomous agents reporting progress back onto a task
