Easy Tasks by Morgen

Product Introduction

1. Easy Tasks by Morgen is a browser extension that enables users to convert highlighted text from any webpage into actionable tasks with preserved context. It eliminates the need to switch between apps by allowing instant task creation through keyboard shortcuts or right-click context menus.
2. The core value lies in maintaining workflow continuity by embedding source links and highlighted text directly into tasks, ensuring users never lose context or waste time reconstructing their original intent. It bridges content consumption and task management without disrupting focus.

Main Features

1. Users can instantly create tasks by highlighting text and pressing ⌥ + Shift + T (Mac) or Alt + Shift + T (Windows), which auto-generates a task title from the selected text and stores the source URL. Tasks are stored locally in the browser extension, requiring no external accounts or integrations.
2. Every task automatically captures the webpage URL and exact highlighted content, creating clickable links that return users to the original context. This eliminates vague references like "Check article" by preserving both the source and specific text segments.
3. Tasks can be assigned due dates during creation, enabling users to structure follow-up actions directly within the extension. Future integration with Morgen’s calendar platform will enable time-blocking and synchronization with external calendars like Google Calendar or Outlook.

Problems Solved

1. The tool addresses fragmented workflows caused by switching between browsers, task managers, and note-taking apps, which often lead to lost context and incomplete actions. It solves the "tab overload" problem by converting open tabs into prioritized tasks with deadlines.
2. It targets knowledge workers, researchers, and teams who frequently interact with web-based content like emails, articles, or videos but struggle to organize follow-up actions systematically. Remote teams benefit from reduced coordination overhead through centralized task capture.
3. Typical scenarios include converting flagged emails into tracked tasks without leaving Gmail, saving YouTube tutorials with timestamps for later review, or capturing competitor website excerpts during market research without relying on disjointed bookmark systems.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike traditional bookmarking tools or task managers, Easy Tasks requires no manual URL copying or app switching, operating entirely within the browser’s native interface. It differs from read-later apps by integrating task scheduling directly at the point of capture.
2. The right-click context menu integration allows task creation without memorizing shortcuts, while the auto-generated titles reduce input friction. Planned Morgen integration will uniquely combine lightweight capture with advanced calendar-based execution.
3. Competitive advantages include local data storage for privacy-conscious users, zero mandatory account creation, and compatibility with Chromium-based browsers like Edge and Brave. The upcoming cross-device sync via Morgen accounts will provide optional cloud functionality without forcing platform lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Is Easy Tasks by Morgen free? Yes, the extension is completely free forever with no account required, credit card details, or hidden fees. It functions independently without requiring a Morgen subscription, though optional calendar syncing will be available later.
2. Can I use Easy Tasks without a Morgen account? Absolutely. All tasks are stored locally in your browser, and no Morgen account is needed for core functionality. Future Morgen integration will be optional for users who want calendar time-blocking features.
3. What happens to the highlighted text when I create a task? The selected text becomes the task title, while the page URL is saved as a hyperlink. This ensures tasks like "Review Q2 metrics" directly link to the specific spreadsheet section instead of a generic homepage.
4. Does Easy Tasks sync across devices? Currently, tasks remain browser-local, but cross-device synchronization will be introduced when Morgen integration launches, enabling secure cloud-based access via user-controlled accounts.
5. How do I avoid task overload? While capturing freely, Morgen’s future integration will provide prioritization tools like AI-assisted sorting and calendar time-blocking. Users can manage tasks within the extension’s interface or export them to Morgen for advanced planning.
