Macro Tasks is a task management tool aimed squarely at engineering teams who want their work tracking, communication, and documentation in one place. It combines the basics you'd expect from any task management app with tighter developer-focused features: GitHub integration for syncing work with code, and AI agents that can act on tasks rather than just surface them.

Instead of bouncing between a project tracker, a chat tool, and a docs platform, Macro puts tasks, channels, email, and docs in one app. While Linear has a honed task management system, an engineering team using Macro has less context-switching and a single source for what's being worked on.

Key capabilities include:

  • GitHub integration: that connects tasks directly to pull requests and code activity.
  • @mention anything: people, docs, email, channels can be referenced in a task with a full reference history.
  • AI agents: that can open or close tasks automatically, not just suggest actions.
  • Status and priority tracking: built for engineering teams to manage workflows.
  • Tagging System: for organizing by category and team relevance.
  • Channels, email, docs alongside tasks, so team communication stays attached to the work.

Most task management tools stop at surfacing information or generating summaries with an agent. Macro's are positioned to take action, closing or opening tasks when needed rather than waiting for a human to update the board.

It's a focused product for teams who find general-purpose project tools too disconnected from how engineering work actually flows. Macro is also open source under AGPLv3 in case you want to self-host or audit what's running.
