Freelancing?
“Every client wants me in their tool. My own work lives nowhere.”
Your week in one place — client work, your own projects, and the honest math of what fits.
Your tasks don't need a platform.
They need to fit.
Mustard is the task manager for people burned by both extremes — light enough to trust, structured enough to keep you honest. Plan a week. Point it. Actually finish.
Sound familiar?
The simple app did too little.
The platform became a second job.
Brain running hot?
“My list became an infinite scroll of guilt.”
Weeks have an end here. Unfinished tasks roll forward without shame, and finishing feels like something.
Tiny team?
“Work tool, personal app, shared list — three places, nothing done.”
One list for one life. Share a project with the people in it — the rest stays yours.
How Mustard works
A week you can actually finish
Cycles give your work a rhythm: commit, finish, reset. When a cycle ends, unfinished tasks roll into the next one — no guilt pile, no archaeology.
1
Pick a week’s worth
A cycle is a short commitment with a start and an end — not a quarter’s roadmap. Drag in what matters now; the backlog keeps the rest.
2
Point your tasks
Small, honest estimates. Not hours, not ceremony — just enough to know what a week actually holds.
3
Let velocity talk
“You usually finish 12 points. You’ve planned 23.” Mustard tells you before the week does.
And when you finish a task? Time to party a bit 🪩
Honest capacity
A plan that pushes back. Politely.
Mustard learns what you actually finish and suggests what to commit — per person, per project, per week. Suggestions are advisory: it nudges, it never nags.
- Allocate your week across projects and see the total before you promise it.
- Velocity suggestions based on what you really completed — not what you hoped.
- Overcommitment is visible the moment it happens, not the Friday after.
One list, whole life
Built for people, not org charts
Capture at the speed of thought
Type “invoice acme friday 5pm” — Mustard parses the date, the time, the project. One line, no forms, before the thought evaporates.
Share the project, not your grocery list
Invite a client or collaborator into one project. They see that project — nothing else. Your life stays yours.
Works where you think
Mustard speaks MCP, so your AI assistant can add, list, and complete tasks for you. “Add that to my week” actually works.
