A task manager for solo developers that speaks GitHub
When you are the whole team, context switching is the tax. Keep the task, its pull request, and the time block to work on it in one place, and let the plan follow the repo instead of fighting it.
The UnaTask team, Building UnaTask. Jul 26, 2026. 5 min read.
When you build alone, there is no one to sync with, which sounds like a gift until you notice the tax you pay instead. Your tasks live in one tool, your code in GitHub, and your day lives nowhere at all. You keep the whole thing together by holding a dozen tabs and a lot of memory.
So the list quietly lies. It says seven things are open when three of them shipped last week. You start a branch and forget which task it was for. And the plan for today is really just the top of the list plus a hope that you get to it.
You do not need a heavier process. You need the three things that actually matter, the task, the code that closes it, and the time to do it, in one place. That is the whole idea here.
The task and its pull request, together
Open a task in UnaTask and link the pull request that closes it, either by searching your open pull requests or by pasting a link. From then on the task shows its live state, open, draft, merged, or closed, and whether the checks pass. No more wondering which branch went with which task, or opening GitHub just to remember where something stands.
You can even skip UnaTask entirely: drop the task reference into the pull request description or the branch name, and it links itself the moment the pull request opens.
Give the work a real slot on your week
This is the part a code-only tool cannot do. Drag the task onto your week and it claims a real block, sized to how long the work takes, next to your actual calendar. Plan the coding, and plan the review separately, because reading a diff carefully is its own kind of focus. Your day stops being a list and becomes a plan you can finish.
One place for the task, the pull request, and the hour you will actually spend on it.
Let a merge close the loop
When the pull request merges, the task can move to Done on its own. The list finally tells the truth without you tending it, which is exactly what you want when you are the only one tending it.
Your Issues, planned like everything else
The same GitHub connection pulls your Issues in as tasks, with priority from the labels and a due date from the milestone. So the bug you filed at midnight lands on your board and, tomorrow, onto a slot on your week, instead of living in a list you never open.
That is the shape of it. Fewer tabs, a plan that matches the repo, and a day you can actually finish. Being a team of one is enough work already.
