A to-do list built for a world with AI teammates
Most task managers assume every task gets done by the person who wrote it down. Done doesn't.
We kept ending up with two separate lists: the tasks we tracked for ourselves, and the ad-hoc prompts we'd fire off to an AI agent and then lose track of. Done merges them. Every task lives in one place, with one owner, and an assignee that can be you or an AI agent.
When a task is assigned to an AI agent, that agent — Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client — connects to your account over its own MCP endpoint, picks up ready work, and reports back into that task's activity feed — comments, status changes, a final summary. You stay the owner. Assigning to an agent is delegation, not a hand-off you lose visibility into.
The principles behind every decision
Calm by default
No OKRs, no Gantt charts, no notifications to tune out — just the parts of a task manager that earn their keep every day.
Your data stays yours
Every account gets its own MCP endpoint and scoped tokens. Agents only ever see the workspace you point them at.
You stay in control
Gated tasks can't close themselves. An agent proposes a plan and a result; nothing ships until you approve it.
Open from day one
MCP-native, so any agent — Claude, ChatGPT, and more — can connect.
What Done is
- One list you share with your agents
- Quick capture that parses plain language
- Recurring, dependent, and nested tasks
- A per-account MCP endpoint for any AI agent
- An approval gate you control
What it isn't
- A project-management suite with OKRs
- A Gantt chart or a resourcing tool
- A notification firehose
- A place your data leaks between accounts
- An agent that closes work behind your back
How it's built
Done runs on a static Next.js front-end backed by a single lightweight API service that serves the REST API and a remote MCP server, both backed by one database. No separate backend to operate, no cold starts to wait out.
It's a small project, actively evolving. If you run into something rough, or want to tell us what's missing, reach out — we read everything.
