Free to-do app · Pomodoro timer · Waitlist

End the day knowing
you actually finished.

Mursa is a free to-do app with a built-in Pomodoro timer, habit tracker, goal tracker, and daily planner. It runs on the web and as a native macOS app, captures tasks from Slack and Gmail, and is free to use. Plan your day, hit focus, close the laptop done, not drained.

Join the waitlist. We invite people in small groups. No spam.

Sound familiar?

Your phone, right now.

Eight things demanding your attention before you've had coffee. Nobody's lazy. Nobody's broken. We're just buried under everyone else's urgency.

That open-loop feeling has a shape: 47 browser tabs, 12 starred chats, a screenshot you swore you'd find again. Busy looks like motion. Productive looks like quiet, finished things.

Mursa starts the day before this does.

It's not a willpower problem. It's a tool problem.

What Mursa does

AI-powered, on purpose.

Four systems, one job: your day stays yours.

I

Tasks that don't slip.

Capture from Slack, Gmail, voice, the web. One AI-sorted inbox.

II

A focus timer that protects.

Pomodoro blocks with full-screen mode. Notifications off.

III

Goals that stay in view.

Big things broken into small ones. Today feeds tomorrow.

IV

Automated by default.

No streak shaming. No badges. AI does the capturing; you do the focusing.

Four systems. One AI-powered workspace. Automated, on purpose.

Six small moments. One quiet day.

Built for you, if…

Different lives,
same problem.

Four different days. The same dropped promises. The same fix.

Indie maker, ships by 6 PM.

Daily ritual locks in the top 3. Wins log proves you shipped.

Knowledge worker, finally free of @-mentions.

Slack messages → tasks. Inbox triage in 90 seconds.

Student, pomodoro before midnight.

Goals broken into deadlines. Friday review shows what stuck.

Parent, twenty good minutes saved.

Voice capture from the phone. No streak shaming.

Use it for

Whatever your day
actually looks like.

Four chapters. Pick yours.

Mursa QuarterlyISSUE 01

Deep-work mornings

Two hours, one thing.

Full-screen focus. Notifications off. A plant grows on screen as you work.

Mursa QuarterlyISSUE 02

Side projects

Goals stop forgetting you.

Today's task feeds tomorrow's milestone. The path stays visible.

Mursa QuarterlyISSUE 03

Reading & learning

Track what finishes.

Streaks that compound. Books, courses, papers. They actually stick.

Mursa QuarterlyISSUE 04

Weekly reviews

Friday, ten minutes.

What worked. What didn't. What carried. Plan next week before the weekend.

Whichever chapter you're in, Mursa fits the day under it.

Mursa · Manifestov.1 · 2026

We won't

  • 01

    Spam your day.

    Mursa never pings you for marketing or engagement. The only notifications come from things you scheduled.

  • 02

    Use dark patterns.

    No "are you sure?" guilt screens. No fake countdowns. No tricks to keep you scrolling past your bedtime.

We will

  • 03

    Let you own everything.

    Export anytime. Delete anytime. We never sell your data, never read tasks for ads, never train AI on you without consent.

  • 04

    Stay free at the core.

    When we open up, the basics stay free. There will be a Pro tier later for power features. Core is yours.

  • 05

    Let AI do the busywork.

    Slack messages, Gmail, and project descriptions turn into tasks automatically. You stay in control of what actually gets done.

Murali & Satish. Built quietly in Bangalore.

Honest comparison

Keep your tools. Add the catcher.

Plotted by how much they hold and how loud they get. Mursa lives in a different corner.

  • Todoist. Great clean task list. We just added focus, goals, and a ritual on top.
  • Notion. Powerful, infinite, DIY. Mursa is opinionated and finite: fewer choices, more done.
  • Sunsama. Daily rituals done right. We added a focus timer, goals, and habits in the same flow.
  • Paper. Tactile and forever quiet. We added a timer, sync, and your data living forever.

Not a replacement. The layer that catches what they drop.

How do I get access?
Join the waitlist and we'll send a thoughtful invite when there's room. We open a few seats at a time, never a flood.
Is it really free?
Yes, fully free to use. A Pro tier comes later for power features. The core to-do, focus timer, and goals will always be free.
What about my data?
You own it. Export anytime, delete anytime. We never sell, never read your tasks for ads, and never train AI on you without consent.
Where does it run?
Web and a native macOS app are live today. iOS and Android are planned for the end of 2026. Windows is on the roadmap. Sync is instant across devices you use.
Isn't this just another Todoist?
Mursa wraps AI planning, a focus timer, daily ritual, goals, and habits around your tasks, and pulls tasks in automatically from Slack and Gmail. It's the operating system around your day, not just another list.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. We don't sell your attention, show ads, or build dark patterns. The AI planning and Slack/Gmail integrations are part of the free plan, not a bait-and-switch.
