Overview

Macro Tasks is task management that runs inside the Macro workspace, so tasks share a keyboard-driven inbox with email, chat and docs. Tasks carry status, priority, assignee and optional custom properties, and GitHub activity moves them: opening a PR sets In Review and merging closes them. Tasks can also be assigned to AI agents, which do the work and report back.

Best for: Engineering teams wanting tasks, email, chat and docs in one keyboard-driven workspace
Pricing: Free for personal use, then $40 per seat per month billed monthly, with custom pricing for Enterprise
Runs on: WebSelf-hosted

Strengths and trade-offs

One $40 seat covers docs, email, chat, calls, CRM and search

Trade-offs

Single $40/seat rate; no cheaper paid tier for light users
Free tier adds a "Sent with Macro" email signature and caps storage and AI
Value depends on moving email, chat and docs into Macro too
SSO, compliance and self-host need a custom Enterprise deal
