The Problem With Task Management

😤 Using GitHub Issues Alone

  • Open browser, find tab, navigate to issue
  • No subtasks (just walls of text)
  • No time tracking
  • Comments become a mess
  • Zero keyboard shortcuts
  • 5 minutes to update status

💸 Using Monday/ClickUp/Jira

  • $8-30 per user per month
  • Your code is here, your tasks are there
  • Two sources of truth to maintain
  • Days of setup and migration
  • Your data locked in their system
  • Another tool to check every day

✨ Using NotNow

  • Hit CTRL+~, dropdown appears instantly
  • Subtasks with visual checkboxes
  • Built-in time tracking
  • GitHub Issues remains source of truth
  • Free and open source
  • 30-second setup

NotNow isn't another task manager.
It's a developer tool that makes GitHub Issues work the way you actually work.

Built for How Developers Actually Work

Not how project managers think you should work.

⌨️

Quake-Style Dropdown

Hit CTRL+~ and your tasks drop down from the top. No context switching, no losing focus. Update and dismiss in seconds.

✅

Real Subtasks

Break down issues into checkable subtasks. Click to complete. No more "- [x] Done" in comments that nobody reads.

⏱️

Time Tracking That Works

Start/stop timers with one click. Log time after the fact. Visual calendar shows where your week went.

🏷️

Tags & Status

Organize beyond GitHub labels. Set priority, due dates, estimates. Everything saves back to GitHub.

💬

Smart Comments

Regular comments for humans. Structured data for NotNow. Your team sees normal GitHub comments.

🔄

Multi-Repo Support

Switch between repositories instantly. Work on client project, switch to side project, switch to open source. One tool.

NotNow First Start

Let's Talk Money

Or in NotNow's case, let's not.

Monday.com $24/user/month
ClickUp $19/user/month
Jira $8-16/user/month
Linear $8/user/month
NotNow $0 forever

10-person team? That's $2,400/year with Monday. Or $0 with NotNow.
Spend that money on developers, not task management.

Stop Managing Tasks.
Start Finishing Them.

Your issues are already in GitHub. Now make them actually useful.
