Break down a large app idea into ordered steps and track progress as your AI assistant builds each one.
Keep a structured project plan visible across multiple coding sessions instead of re-explaining your project each time.
Automatically identify task dependencies so you know which features to build first without manual planning.
Requires API keys from Claude, OpenAI, or Gemini to function.
This is a task management system built specifically for people who build software using AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, Lovable, or Windsurf. The core idea is simple: when you're building an app with an AI coding assistant, you often have a big project that needs to be broken into steps, and keeping track of those steps, their order, and what depends on what can get messy fast. This tool plugs directly into your AI editor and helps organize all of that automatically. Instead of trying to hold your whole project plan in your head (or in a messy chat thread), Taskmaster lets your AI assistant create a structured list of tasks, figure out which ones need to happen before others, and track progress as you build. It can even do research, pulling in relevant information, to help plan and execute each task more accurately. It works with all the major AI providers (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, and others), so you're not locked into one. Setup is designed to be quick: there's a one-click install for Cursor, and it slots into other editors with a few lines of configuration. This is especially useful for vibe coders and non-technical founders who are using AI tools to build products but find that longer, more complex projects start to feel chaotic. Rather than managing a separate to-do list or trying to re-explain your project to the AI every session, Taskmaster keeps the plan structured and visible. With over 27,000 stars on GitHub, it's clearly resonating with the AI-assisted development crowd.
