A bench of seven AI specialists, one per stuck moment: brain-dump to plan, vague task to time range, decision to next move, message to 12 tones, leftovers to dinner. Under it: plans, routines, one-step Focus, streaks with built-in grace. Free, no account.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
There's a line in Task Gremlin's onboarding that took me longer to write than
some features: "When everything is urgent and nothing is small, your head locks
up. That's not laziness, it's overload."
Every productivity app I tried was built for people who can already start. A
clean empty list. A blank chat box. Both quietly assume the hardest part is
already done: knowing what to do first. On my worst days, it isn't.
So Task Gremlin opens on a bench of seven small specialists instead. Each one
exists because I kept getting stuck in the same specific moments:
• Brain Sort: dump the whole pile ("messy is welcome" is the actual
placeholder) and get back a starting list that goes straight into a plan.
• Time Guess: "reply to all my emails" in, a workable range out, with a buffer
slider from Lean to Generous, because those are different days.
• Decision Map: the thing you've circled for a week. Both sides, one next move.
• Rewrite: your message, twelve tones. Direct, Warm, Concise, Dry…
• Tone Check: for the email you *received* and have now read nine times.
• Explain It: any topic, depth slider from Simple to Deep.
• Pantry Plan: eggs, half an onion, sad spinach. Dinner.
Underneath the bench there's a full planner: nested plans, routines, momentum
tracking. But the part I'd actually defend in an argument is the microcopy,
because that's where an app's real values live:
• Focus mode shows one step and says "Just this one."
• "Skip for now" sits right next to "Mark done." Same size. Skipping is a
decision, not a failure.
• Skip everything and it says "Take a breath, or circle back."
• A rest day says "Momentum stays intact. Rest is part of the rhythm."
• The streak math has a built-in grace day, and un-checking something later
corrects the original day instead of punishing today. Streaks should measure
momentum, not fear.
Boring-but-important: your plans and history stay on your device (JSON export
included). AI runs through my own server gateway, so no API key ever touches
your browser. Free to try with no account at all: open it, tap a tile. Sign in
for a fresh set of prompts daily. Pro (€5/mo) if you lean on the bench hard.
For PH: code `PRODUCTHUNT` = 50% off the first 3 months at taskgremlin.app.
Buy on web, and Pro unlocks in the iOS and Android apps on the same account.
I'm here all day. One question I'd love answered: which of the seven tiles
did you tap first? I've been guessing at that order for months, and today is
the biggest sample I'll ever get.
