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

by•

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 i'm getting a "Hmm. It looks like you're offline." while trying to sign up

@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

@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 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!

@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.

Hey all, excited to share Slash with you today. Drop any questions here, we'll be around throughout the day to answer! ⚡️

@bootl Hey 👋 I'm trying to create an account but it ask me an invite code. Could you give me one? 🙏
Matt Cyrankiewicz
Maker
@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.
Tiffany Zhong
@julionavr @jeffbowen can't join - it says invite code is expired
Matt Cyrankiewicz
Maker
@julionavr @jeffbowen @tzhongg guys you do not need an invite code on sign up, it's optional - the UI will reflect this since the next update - simply register leaving the field empty :) Apologies for any confusion!
Primer
@julionavr @jeffbowen @tzhongg @bootl @venkatshukla I got that too severel times and then it worked... I didn't change anything. It just worked after about 7 or 8 attempts.

A real problem!

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
Tuan (Alan) Nguyen
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 Cyrankiewicz
Maker
@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
Maker
@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 Cyrankiewicz

@mickc79 fair point! We'll add this with next update, thanks for feedback!

I cant wait to use in windows, looks really nice!

It says "Hmm. It looks like you're offline." When trying to sign up.

@bootl I too am facing this issue, can you help us out?

Have been trying it out for the past few days (could test an earlier version through a friend of mine, Jorgen) and it is amazing. I generally tend to get quickly distracted and unmotivated to do all these millions of little tasks. Slash makes it fun and easy. Whenever I use it I have a completely different level of focus. Recommending it to my friends :)
Chris Erthel
Wow! I started using it today and finished up all my tasks 2h ahead of my planned time as I had way less distractions. Will keep on using this everyday now. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks for creating this to the people behind it!

Slash has been an awesome addition to my productivity tools. I love the UI and the ability to add multiple lists for each of the projects at hand. I will say having slash has allowed me to be more focused task to task. Most of all, as a data nerd I love the ability to go back and check the consistency of my “slashing.” Great job with this app.
Xander Schultz
Love it so far. we all get lost in being busy while losing priority. This app is perfect at keeping you focused. It also does a great job rewarding you for accomplishments.
Kyle Conarro
Looks cool! Aside: looks like your "roadmap" link is broken (goes to taskslayer.nolt.io, which I assume is your old name?)

@conarro Hi Nolt is a tool where you can add your suggestions, requests and track progress with some ongoing tasks! It's pretty high level though, we'll add more as we go - and please add your suggestions too ⚡️

@conarro fixed :)

@bootl Yeah I'm familiar! It was just pointing to the wrong subdomain I think. Hope the launch went well!

Love the visual design! Especially that dashboard

@lucy_mort oh heyyyy :) Thanks Lucy! Means a lot coming from you.

I must be doing something wrong or there is a bug. When I try to create a new task, I can type in the task name and when I hit Enter, nothing is happening. macOS Sierra 10.12.6

@tomashertus You're the second reporter of this issue, so it's not just you. Can you try restarting the app? If that doesn't work, a screencast video would be super helpful!
Caitlin Connors
I used this productivity tool for just two days, and I can say it's the most effective tool I've ever used to stay on track. Maybe it's because of it's simplicity and easy of use, or maybe it's because of the hilarious celebratory gif that I see when my task is done, whatever it is, I'm using it every day now!

I get this invite text in the application. "Get 2x more free tasks on Slash! Download here: https://getslash.co Your invite code: 6E_q9miJo" After giving that URL to some of my fiends I realized that on that page there is no place to enter the invite code. ?makers
