Where One Job is headed
One Job is built on a simple bet: a deck of cards is a better home for your attention than a list. Everything below grows out of that — from the app you can use today to some ideas we're still turning over in our hands. Order within each section is rough; the sections themselves are the real sequence.
Last updated July 7, 2026 · maintained in the open — the working roadmap has all the internal detail.
Now — in the app today
The deck
One card at a time. Swipe right to complete, left to send it to the bottom for later. Tap to read; edits save themselves.
Cards inside cards
Any card can hold its own deck of sub-tasks, as deep as the work goes. A card won't complete while its inside is unfinished.
An honest afterlife
Done, Archive, and Trash are places, not verdicts — completed work from anywhere in your deck lands there, every move can be walked back, and undo is everywhere.
Local-first, with real backups
No account, no tracking, works offline. Export your whole deck as a file; the app reminds you when a backup is getting old — and only says a backup succeeded when it actually saw it happen.
On the App Store
One Job 1.0 shipped September 2026 — the native iPhone and iPad app, free, no account. Get it here.
Next
A Shortcuts "Add Card" action
One small seam with a big reach: an App Intent so Apple Shortcuts can add cards to your deck. Pipe in Reminders, other task apps, even Siri — and the community can build importers we never imagined. Suggested by a launch-day commenter who prototyped her half before asking for ours.
Connect your existing task system
Read-only Todoist first: your tasks, faced through the deck, without leaving the system your work already lives in.
Fit and finish
A visual polish pass across every screen, including a proper dark theme — likely dark by default.
Every deck gets its own Done pile
Finished sub-tasks already appear in the main Done room; next they'll also stay visible inside the deck they belong to.
Later — the spatial layer
A canvas of decks
More than one deck, side by side on a surface you can pan and zoom — work, home, someday — with the system piles as real places.
The zoom continuum
Pinch from the canvas into a deck into a single card filling your screen. The card never opens a window — you go into the card.
Rearranging by hand
Fan the deck out, drag cards where you want them, let it snap back. Deferring stops being the only way to reprioritize.
One big stack, on demand
An "inchworm" view that flattens your whole tree of decks into a single walkable stack — and unflattens the moment you want the structure back.
Later — plays well with others
Two-way sync with your existing tools
Connect Todoist, Jira, Linear, Asana. Your team's system stays the system of record; One Job becomes the way you actually move through the work. Changes flow both directions.
Cards that carry their context
Due dates, assignees, labels, links, and attachments arriving with connected cards — without cluttering the card face.
Someday — cards from your agents
An inbox for AI-dealt cards
Your agents and assistants deal cards into your deck; you play them like any other card. An agent-dealt card should feel exactly like one you wrote — and no agent gets to reorder your deck.
Deal a card the other way
Hand a card to an agent from the card itself, keep it visible while the work is theirs, and see completion flow back.
