In the Stack · vs Asana

Tasks, projects,
done.

Stack Momentum is the 20% of Asana you actually open on a Tuesday: projects, tasks, a list view, a kanban board, due dates, assignees, comments. None of the long tail. One keystroke to add a task, one drag to move it.

How it works

Three motions. Nothing to learn.

The core loop is small on purpose — the same muscle memory works on day one and day one thousand.

Add in one keystroke.

Hit c from anywhere. Type. Enter. The task slots into whichever project you're in — no dialog gymnastics.

Drag to move it forward.

Pick up a card, drop it in a new column. Status and sort order update atomically — no "are you sure" popups.

Your team sees it live.

Supabase realtime streams every change. Two people, one board — no "pull to refresh" moment.

vs Asana

We cut what most teams never open.

The checkmarks on the right aren't lies — they're the reason Asana takes weeks to onboard. Stack Momentum ships with the features you use on a Tuesday.

Views

Two views. Same data. One click between.

Planning mode wants a board. Execution mode wants a list. Stack Momentum gives you both — not fifteen.

Features

Built for the Tuesday, not the demo.

Every feature above earns its place by being used every week.

One keystroke to add a task

Tap `c` anywhere. Type. Hit enter. The list fills at the speed you think.

Drag to move — everywhere

Same gesture reorders in the list, switches columns on the board. No context menus.

My Tasks, across every project

One place for "what should I do next" that a manager can point at during a standup.

Real-time by default

Collaborator marks a task done? Your board animates the card over to Done. No refresh.

Comments that stay on the task

Flat thread, markdown-lite links, @-mention a teammate. No separate inbox to triage.

Desktop or browser

Same app, same shortcut. The Mac build is a focused window — no menubar chrome.

Keyboard

Hands stay on the keyboard.
