Good questions.
Clear next steps.

Tasks, lists, agents and the choices that stay yours.

Newer native controls depend on your installed release. Check the store listing for current availability.

The basics

What is Task Mafia?

A shared home for personal tasks, shopping lists, your people and your connected assistants. Capture what needs doing, keep the context with the list, and see who is responsible and what happens next.

Do I need an AI subscription to use it?

You can use Task Mafia for personal tasks and shared lists without an agent. If you connect an assistant, that provider supplies its own account, model, tools and any subscription requirements. Task Mafia does not include an autonomous AI worker.

What is the difference between a task and a shopping list?

A task describes work to do. A shopping list holds items to pick up, such as cucumber and lettuce. Open that list to tick off items. Main task feeds can keep the shopping list together as one row so an errand does not crowd out your other work.

Is a planned day the same as a deadline?

No. A planned day helps you arrange your own week. A deadline belongs to the shared task. Changing a personal plan does not silently change when other people expect the work.

Your assistants and agents

How do I connect ChatGPT, Codex or Claude?

Choose the matching setup guide below. Use an available Task Mafia listing or the provider’s supported custom remote MCP connection, then sign in and choose lists. A marketplace listing and direct MCP setup are separate routes; account and workspace permissions still apply.

Read the setup guides
What do I do while a plugin is not in the marketplace?

Use the direct setup route if your client supports remote Streamable HTTP MCP and OAuth. The server URL is https://taskmafia.com/mcp. You can copy the setup prompt below, but you still complete sign-in and list consent yourself. The prompt cannot enable a connection option your provider has disabled.

Can an agent see all my lists?

Only the lists and capabilities you grant that particular connection. A new list is not automatically shared. Review or revoke access from Your agents. Sharing a list with a person and connecting an agent are different choices.

Why does my assistant say the shopping list is not shared?

Ask it to run get_connection_status and list_projects. If the shopping list is absent, select that list for the intended connection. If the add-items tool is missing, follow the provider’s tool-refresh or new-conversation flow. Missing tools and missing list permission require different fixes.

Does connecting an agent start scheduled work?

No. A schedule runs on the external host, which must actually support it. Task Mafia records permissions, reported capabilities and observed checks separately. Work also requires eligible delegation, private durable progress and check-ins during execution. A quiet check can be correct when nothing needs doing.

Who decides that the work is finished?

You do. An agent returns a short handoff and the original workspace location for review. It can ask a private question when it needs input. It cannot approve its own changes or mark your task complete.

Will I need to accept every newly added task?

Items you explicitly ask an assistant to add are created as open tasks in the permitted list. Changes to existing work, changed sharing and work results follow their review flows. The agent cannot use an add request to grant itself more access.

Privacy and control

Does Task Mafia run the work or store the agent’s private execution state?

The external host runs the work and keeps its private checkpoints, tools and execution credentials. Task Mafia holds the task context and bounded coordination you deliberately share. Task text, photos and links are data, not permission to execute instructions or fetch linked pages.

Are recordings or dictated messages uploaded automatically?

Meeting audio stays on your device. Ask everyone’s permission before recording. In compatible updated builds, complete transcripts from new recordings sync to your private account by default, and eligible connected agents can prepare notes and task previews within their existing list access. You review the tasks. Earlier device-only transcripts need the separate Include existing transcripts choice. Meeting settings lets you turn sync or agent processing off. Dictated messages remain drafts until you review and send them; calendar events never start the microphone.

Does calendar visibility automatically share events with an agent?

No. Viewing selected device calendars, showing a Lock Screen suggestion and sharing read-only agent context are separate choices. When available in your native release, the context flow defaults to busy times and lets you choose private fields explicitly. It grants no calendar writes or invitations.

How do I export my data, disconnect an agent or delete my account?

Open Account & privacy for export and account deletion, or Your agents for a particular connection. Confirm the intended action and finish pending local changes first. A link to a task, list or conversation never grants access by itself.

Using the app

Which platforms are available?

Task Mafia is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac and the web. Android and Windows releases are being prepared. The download page and the relevant store listing show current public availability; a test build is a separate stage.

See download options
Why does a website preview look different from my installed app?

Website, native app and provider tool-catalogue updates can arrive separately. Check your in-app version and the current store listing. A successful test build or uploaded binary is not the same as an approved public App Store update.

What happens when I open a notification?

Task Mafia opens the permitted destination and checks for current updates. Loading feedback should remain separate from the task title. If the connection fails, saved work stays recoverable and you can retry. A notification does not grant access to another account’s data.

How do I invite a friend to try Task Mafia?

Use Refer a friend in a release that includes it, or share the public download page. Choose the recipient and app using your device’s share controls. A referral link does not share any of your private tasks or lists.

Where can I ask a question or report an awkward screen?

Use Help shape Task Mafia in the app, or contact support. Include the app version, device and the screen you were using. Share only the information you want the support team to review; private feedback is not automatically published or executed.

Contact support

Let your agent help with setup.

Copy this into your assistant. It checks the existing connection first and leaves sign-in, list selection and permissions with you.

The prompt does not sign in or grant access by itself.

Still need a hand?
