Did your task app ever become another project with tasks?

I’ve tried so many.

The beautiful ones.
The minimalist ones.
The “second brain” ones.
The calendar-based ones.
The AI-powered ones.
The ones that promised they would finally make me feel organized.

And honestly, most of them were good apps.

But every new task app came with the same hidden cost:

I had to onboard.
I had to learn the system.
I had to create categories.
I had to decide where things belong.
I had to build a new habit.
I had to remember to open yet another app.

At some point, the task app became another project with endless tasks itself.

That’s one of the reasons we built Blurts differently.

Blurts is not trying to become your new task management system.

It’s the layer between your messy thoughts and the tools you already use.

You speak naturally - one thought, five thoughts, a half-finished sentence, a chaotic brain dump - and Blurts turns it into organized tasks.

Then it sends those tasks to your existing setup, whether that’s Notion, Google Tasks, Google Calendar, Apple Reminders, or Apple Calendar.

If your Notion database already has properties like priority, status, effort, category, due date, or project, Blurts works with that structure instead of asking you to rebuild your life somewhere else.

Because the problem, at least for me, was never that I didn’t have enough productivity tools.

The problem was getting the thought out of my head and into the right place before it disappeared.

Curious if this is just me:

How many task apps have you tried before going back to your original system?

And what made you abandon them?
