Tasks living in chat threads
Follow-ups buried in messages never become assigned work.

Built for these realities
The pain we hear from operators
Each pain point reflects real conversations with SMB operators evaluating workforce tools today. Yrka is shaped around these realities, not generic feature checklists.
Project-management tools for non-project work
Boards, milestones, and Gantt charts are noise when the team just needs a checklist.
Tasks disconnected from the surface that created them
Imports, audits, and reviews generate work that should be tasks, but lives nowhere.
How teams use it
Use cases we ship for today
These are the moments this surface is built around. They map to shipped product behavior and the launch scope for this area.
Recurring operational follow-ups
Templates, source links, and recurring tasks drive the day-of-week and end-of-shift work.
Employee follow-ups
Employee Tasks shows only assigned operational follow-ups — permission-scoped by default.
Source-linked tasks
Tasks can link back to the message, import, or audit that created them, so context is one click away.
Why Yrka here
What makes this different
Differentiators map to shipped product behavior. They are the reasons buyers pick this surface after comparing alternatives.
Task-centered, not project-centered
V1 deliberately skips milestones, dependencies, Gantt charts, and portfolio planning.
Assigned visibility
Employees see only tasks assigned to them; updates remain permission-scoped.
Source-linked activity
Templates, source links, comments, checklist items, activity, and notifications keep the trail intact.
How it flows
A workflow that mirrors how operators actually run the day
Three steps, three responsibilities.
- 01
Generate
Create tasks manually or from templates triggered by schedules, messages, or imports.
- 02
Coordinate
Assign, comment, attach checklist items, and track activity with permission-scoped visibility.
- 03
Close
Resolve tasks with audit history and follow-up notifications when something needs another pass.
What's inside
Tasks highlights
Templates
Operational templates for recurring follow-ups and onboarding tasks.
Checklists
Break tasks into checklist items without dragging in project-management overhead.
Comments and activity
Comments, mentions, and activity feed live next to the task they describe.
Notifications
Assignees get notified with deep links to the task and any source context.
Source links
Tasks connect back to schedules, messages, resources, and imports.
Status and priority
Open, in progress, review, done — plus priority and due dates.
Task-centered, intentionally
Yrka Tasks deliberately leaves portfolio planning and dependency management to the tools built for it. We focus on the operational follow-up that actually moves work forward.
Permission-scoped visibility
Employees see only the tasks assigned to them, and updates respect the same role and permission scopes the rest of the product enforces.
Scope
What's included, what's intentionally out of scope
Yrka maps every feature to its product claim so commercial conversations stay honest.

Common buyer questions
We surface the questions buyers actually ask — trial, support, export, mobile, payroll, provider, AI, and trust scope — in plain language.
How does the trial work?
Start with a 30-day card-required trial. Cancel anytime from the Stripe customer portal. Workspaces stay available for export or reactivation for 30 days after paid access ends.
Does Yrka process payroll or file taxes?
No. Yrka covers time tracking, scheduling, payroll-prep exports, and provider handoff. Customers stay in charge of payroll processing, tax filing, legal, and HR decisions.
What does mobile look like?
Responsive web and an installable PWA cover employee time entry, scheduling, resources, tasks, messages, and profile review. Employees see scoped offline read context plus queued supported writes with clear sync states.
Can we export our data?
Yes. Payroll-prep exports, schedule and time reports, and employee data exports are part of the core product. Customer data remains exportable for 30 days after paid access ends unless an earlier deletion is requested.
