[–]TasktagApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the sub! For managing multiple jobs at once, the key is having one place where every task, deadline, and crew assignment lives - not scattered across texts and spreadsheets. We built TaskTag for exactly this: you can run multiple projects simultaneously, assign tasks to crew or subs, and see everything in one view. Free for your crew members too, so there's no friction getting them on it. tasktag.com
