Todoist doesn't know what a GCSE marking window is. Trello has never heard of INSET days. Asana can't tell you whether your deadline falls in school time or half-term. Teacher Task Manager is a to-do list app built around the way teachers work.
Free plan available · Works offline · iOS, Android & desktop
Generic productivity apps are designed for knowledge workers in offices. They're built around projects, sprints, and status boards. Teachers don't work in sprints; they work in terms. Their "projects" are classes, subjects and exam groups. Their deadlines are school-calendar-dependent in a way that a software team's deadlines simply are not.
When a teacher types "mark Year 9 essays, return by Thursday", a generic app treats Thursday like any other deadline. Teacher Task Manager knows whether that Thursday is in school time, a holiday, or an INSET day. It knows that "Year 9" refers to a class group, not a project. It parses teacher-specific natural language without any configuration.
The result is a task manager that takes work off your plate, rather than becoming another system to maintain.
Different days call for different views. Switch between them in a tap, with nothing to set up.
Every feature is shaped around what teachers need, not what a generic to-do app assumes you need.
Type how you think. "CPD reflection due Monday, medium priority" creates a fully tagged task in one step. Teacher keywords are handled without AI credits.
Enter your school's term dates once. Every deadline is colour-coded: school day, INSET, holiday, or weekend. Schedule work that fits your actual calendar.
Tag tasks as marking, planning, report, meeting, CPD, admin and more. Filter by type when you want to focus on one kind of work at a time.
Add tasks anywhere: on the bus, in the staffroom, mid-lesson. Everything syncs when you reconnect. No internet required once installed.
Other ways Teacher Task Manager fits your school week.
Free to start. No templates to build, no configuration rabbit holes.
