Know what's happening across your work
One place instead of six.
Stop running your business across scattered spreadsheets, separate notes apps, and inboxes full of “any update on this?” sjTasks puts your tasks, files, logged hours, and free client portals into one calm workspace.
Live answers without asking anyone for status:
- What's late?
- Who's overloaded?
- What's due next week?
- Are we over estimate?

Consolidation
Why we built sjTasks
You’re juggling projects, people, files, and deadlines across a scattered mess: a to-do app, a spreadsheet of who is doing what, a separate notes app, a shared drive, and an inbox full of “any update on this?” Nobody is ever sure which place has the truth, so you end up holding status meetings just to find out what got done.
You need a system, but most project tools are bloated, exhausting to configure, and charge a per-seat tax on every single person—even clients who only log in once a month. We built sjTasks because we needed it ourselves: one fast, quiet workspace where the work happens, your clients join free, and the reports answer themselves.
-
Instead of: a shared spreadsheet
Tasks with owners and dates, and reports that answer themselves.
-
Instead of: a separate notes app
Notes live on the task they belong to.
-
Instead of: a scattered file drive
Files attached to the work, and a clean folder tree for each project.
-
Instead of: a dedicated timesheet app
Hours logged on the task, and a team time report in one click.
-
Instead of: “any update?” status emails
One daily summary, and email replies that land on the task.
-
Instead of: an expensive client portal
Clients as free guests who see only their own projects.

Work from anywhere. Nothing to install.
Run your projects in the browser your device already has.
Any screen
A phone, a tablet or a desktop, in the browser it already has. No app to download, nothing to update.
A weak signal
Pictures and documents open as small previews first, and the full file only when you ask for it.
Or no screen at all
Reply to a task’s email and the reply is a note on the task. One email a day says what is late and what is due.
Simple by default
Nothing is missing. It is out of sight until you reach for it.

A new team's task has a description, notes, files, and six details: status, priority, assignee, due date, repeats and tags. The rest are switches an admin turns on for the team the day it needs them; while a switch is off, its fields are not on the screen.
