Slack task management that keeps tasks moving.

Your team already discusses work in Slack. Pondros turns those conversations into tasks with owners, due dates and follow-up, so work doesn't get buried in messages.

Task management in Slack should start where the work starts.

Most teams don’t decide what to do inside a task management app. They decide in Slack. Someone asks, someone replies, and the conversation moves on.

Ma

Maya “Can you send the proposal by Friday?”

Al

Alex “Yep, I'll take care of it.”

The problem isn’t creating a task. It’s remembering that the task exists, who owns it, when it’s due, and whether it actually got done. Pondros connects the conversation to the work: a Slack message becomes a tracked task with an owner, due date, project, priority, tags and status, automatically.

How Slack task management works with Pondros.

01 · Capture the task

Capture the task where it comes up.

When someone agrees to do something in a channel Pondros is in, Pondros adds it to the board on its own, with the owner and the date. Nobody tags it or copies it over. A 📌 on the message shows it was caught.

02 · Assign an owner

Every task gets someone responsible for it.

Pondros keeps the owner attached to the work, so the team can see who owns what. Assign a task to several people when several people owe something, and Pondros follows up with each of them until their part is done.

03 · Add a due date

“By Friday” becomes a real date.

Pondros turns the promise into a dated task, so it doesn't disappear into a Slack thread. Now the team can see what's open, who owns it and when it needs to happen.

04 · Track the task

Once the task exists, it stays visible.

Track owner, due date, project, status, priority, tags and activity. Instead of searching Slack history to remember what was promised, the work has a place to live.

Slack task tracking without leaving Slack.

This is where Pondros is different from adding another task list. Your team discusses the work in Slack, captures the task from that conversation, and keeps the follow-up connected to where the promise was made.

Slack messageTaskOwnerDue dateFollow-upDone

Stop manually chasing Slack tasks.

A task tracker can tell you something is overdue. Someone still has to chase the person who owns it. Pondros handles that follow-up: as a task approaches its due date it messages the owner, and if the work keeps slipping it escalates instead of leaving the manager to keep asking.

Instead of

“Hey, any update on this?”

“Just checking again…”

“Can you get this done today?”

Pondros keeps the follow-up moving.

Slack task management vs. Slack reminders.

Slack reminders are useful for remembering something. Task management needs more. A reminder says “remember this.” A task needs to answer:

What needs to be done?

Who owns it?

When is it due?

What project does it belong to?

Is it still open?

Was it completed?

Does someone need to follow up?

Pondros keeps it attached.

The context stays on the task instead of every follow-up being a separate reminder.

Using Slack for task management.

If your team already works in Slack, you don’t need to move every conversation into a traditional project management tool. A practical workflow looks like this:

Talk

The team discusses the work in Slack.

Capture

The promise becomes a Pondros task.

Assign

An owner is attached to the task.

Set the deadline

The due date is recorded.

Track

The task stays visible alongside the rest of the project.

Follow up

Pondros checks in when the work is due.

Complete

The task is marked done.

Slack stays the conversation.

Pondros adds the follow-through layer around it.

What makes a good task manager for Slack?

When you compare Slack task management apps, look for more than the ability to create a task. A useful one should make it easy to:

Capture tasks from conversations

Nobody should have to recreate a whole Slack conversation somewhere else.

Keep the owner and deadline visible

The team should know who is responsible and when the work is due.

Track status

A task should have a clear state instead of disappearing into message history.

Follow up automatically

The system should cut down on manual status chasing.

Keep context

The original Slack conversation should stay connected to the work.

Work alongside existing tools

You shouldn't have to abandon the project management system you already use.

Pondros is built around this workflow and works alongside tools such as Asana and ClickUp. The Free plan includes 30 tasks a month from Slack, an accountability board, AI notes and recaps, and basic integrations. Teams that need unlimited tasks from Slack can move to Business, which adds chasing and Slack follow-ups. See pricing.

Questions

What is Slack task management?

Slack task management is capturing, assigning, tracking and completing the work that starts in Slack conversations. Pondros turns what people agree to in Slack into structured tasks with owners, due dates, projects and status.

Can I use Slack as a task manager?

You can use Slack to discuss and hand out work, but conversations alone make it hard to track ownership, deadlines and completion. Pondros adds structured task tracking to the Slack workflow.

How do I track tasks in Slack?

With Pondros, tasks agreed in Slack are picked up automatically and land on a board with an owner, a due date and a project, so you can follow their progress without copying anything over.

What is the best task management app for Slack?

It depends on how your team works. If you want to keep conversations in Slack while adding task ownership, deadlines, tracking and automatic follow-up, Pondros is built for exactly that.

Is Pondros free?

Pondros has a Free plan at $0 a month with no credit card required. It includes 30 tasks a month from Slack.

Does Pondros replace Asana or ClickUp?

Not necessarily. Pondros works alongside Asana and ClickUp. Its job is catching the work that comes up in conversation and making sure it gets done.

Can Pondros automatically follow up on Slack tasks?

Yes. Pondros follows up with task owners as deadlines approach and escalates when work stays incomplete.

Can I track Slack tasks by project?

Yes. Pondros organizes tasks by project and shows owners, due dates, status and outstanding work.
