Chaos Control
Personal goal, task and file organizer with an AI assistant
About Chaos Control
Chaos Control is a GTD-based task manager from Tarasov Mobile that organizes goals into projects, contexts and a Chaos Box inbox, with sync across iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, web and a Telegram bot. PRO plans add a time tracker, cloud file storage, voice notes and an AI assistant, and Team Workspaces add task assignment, Kanban boards and built-in chat.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Faithful GTD structure with projects, nested contexts and a Chaos Box inbox
- Runs on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, web and Telegram with one synced account
- Lifetime license options on Premium, PRO and team plans as an alternative to subscriptions
- Team workspaces are billed per workspace rather than per user, and PRO members join for free
- Frequent releases, with new versions shipped several times a month in 2026
- 4.6 rating from about 490 reviews on the US App Store
Cons
- PRO tiers split AI requests, transcription and storage into separate quotas, which makes plans harder to compare
- Several team features (recurring tasks, reminders, file attachments, time tracking in workspaces) are still on the roadmap
- No native email-to-inbox capture or importer from other task managers mentioned in official docs
- Small developer and community compared with Todoist or TickTick, with fewer integrations

Best For
Personal GTD system
Capture everything into the Chaos Box, then sort it into projects and contexts to run a David Allen-style Getting Things Done workflow.
Freelancers tracking time per project
Use the PRO time tracker and file storage to keep task time, client files and voice notes inside each project.
Small teams wanting tasks and chat in one app
Run a team workspace with task assignment, Kanban boards and built-in channels instead of combining a task tool with a separate messenger.
Separating work and personal tasks
Keep a personal space and one or more team workspaces apart, and switch between them in the mobile app.
