Our story
TaskBerry started as a fix for one problem: a to-do list that never knew the day only holds so many hours. Here is why it exists, and what it believes about a good day.
Where it started
TaskBerry was built by one person in the Netherlands, not a team of marketers. Gydo built it for himself, a working freelancer, because no tool he tried did the one thing he actually needed.
The pattern was always the same. In the morning he picked seven things that felt doable, with no idea they came to sixteen hours when he had six. A client message would land, cards moved to waiting, twenty minutes went to shuffling the board. By evening three things were done and four rolled over. The list was wrong, not him.
Every planner he tried treated the day as if it were endless. Add another task and the list just gets longer. None of them did the plain arithmetic: these tasks take more time than the hours in front of you.
The idea
So he built the thing he wanted. Give each task a time size, from thirty minutes to six hours. Tell the planner how many hours you really have. Then let it do the math you were doing badly in your head.
When the plan runs over, the board turns red. Before you start, not at five in the afternoon when nothing is left to move. You see the day is too full while you can still change it.
Nine hours of work, six hours to do it in. You see the gap before the day starts.
What it believes
Most productivity tools sell you more. More output, more hustle, more crossed off. TaskBerry holds the opposite. The point is not to cram more into a day, it is to plan a day you can actually finish, and then finish it.
The promise is small and honest. At the end of the day you will know what you did, and you will feel good about it.
Who it is for
TaskBerry is built first for solo freelancers, consultants and zzp who bill by the hour and run a handful of clients at once. No boss, no standup, no sprints. If you need shared boards, teams or project hierarchies, this is honestly not the tool for you.
It stays deliberately simple. Berry, the assistant, turns a messy brain dump into a clean, time-estimated plan, and it never judges your plan or tells you it is too full. That verdict is the board's job. Your hours track against the right client, so the month-end report mostly writes itself.
Try it
The capacity check is free. Plan a real day, watch it add up, and decide from there.
