Yours, not your team's
Jira is for your team. Slack is for everyone. Coffee Break is the layer that belongs only to you — your notes, your follow-ups, your context.
For managers who think in people and projects
Your brain already has the system.
You know what's happening with @Ana and where #rebranding stands. You're holding it in your head because nothing else works the way you think. Coffee Break does.

Tasks
All the little things. Finally somewhere.
The small tasks that don't belong in a ticket. The follow-up you'd otherwise keep in your head. Write them in your notes and they become tracked tasks — with context, status, and due dates attached.
- Status in one click Not started → In progress → Done → Blocked. No forms, no ceremony.
- Context always attached Every task links back to the note it came from, the person it involves, the project it belongs to.
- Smart views Filter by person, topic, project, or status. Save any combination as a named view.
- Subtasks Break bigger things into steps. The parent tracks the whole.
The system
Built for the manager in the middle.
Enough structure to be reliable. Enough softness to stay usable when the day gets messy.
Write once
Tag a person or project inline. The task, the context, and the link are all there in the same sentence. Nothing to copy, nothing to re-enter.
Own your data
Local-first and offline-ready. Your system stays fast, private, and under your control — always.

Your brain already has the system. Now it has a tool.
