One tool. One job. Open it and start — no setup, no learning curve.
No projects, folders, or setup wizard. Open Recap, type your first task, and you're running. As fast as a new Notepad file — with the structure Notepad can't give you.
Every night at midnight, anything you didn't check off moves to tomorrow's list. No manual copy-paste. No lost tasks. Nothing slips through.
Recap generates your standup from tasks you actually tracked — not from memory. Copy it in one click, or let it post to Slack, Teams, or Zapier automatically. Free for everyone.
Your completed tasks are saved with timestamps. Free users get the last 14 days. Pro keeps everything — last Tuesday, last month, last quarter.
No onboarding wizard. No setup checklist. Open it and go.
Type fast. No formatting required. Open Recap and start your day in under 60 seconds.
Tap any task to mark it done. Recap timestamps every completion automatically.
One click gives you a clean summary — or let Recap post it to Slack, Teams, or Zapier. No manual step, ever.
"Geekbot charges $2.50/user for Slack alone.
Recap gives you Slack, Teams, and Zapier
— free for everyone."
This isn't a feature. It's our position.
The free Geekbot alternative — and a smarter Notepad.
Same speed. Way more useful.
| Notepad | Recap | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed to add a task | Instant | Instant |
| Task structure | None | Checkbox list |
| Rollover | Manual (or never) | Automatic at midnight |
| Standup summary | Dig through the mess | One click |
| History | One giant file | Day-by-day log |
| Cost | Free | Free to start |
Bottom line: Same zero-friction experience. But with rollover, history, and a one-click standup summary built in.
The free Geekbot alternative. Real task data. No Slack paywall.

Because Slack, Teams, and Zapier are how you get value from Recap — not how we make money. Competitors like Geekbot charge $2.50/user/month for Slack alone. Recap gives all three integrations to every user, free forever. The only paid feature is unlimited history.
On day 12, Recap warns you that your oldest entry will roll off in 2 days. On day 15, the oldest day is removed to make room for the new one. Pro users keep every day, forever — no expiry, no rolling window.
Todoist and Notion are full project management systems — they require setup, structure, and ongoing maintenance. Recap is a daily-only tool. No projects, no labels, no hierarchy. Open it, type today's tasks, and close it. The scope is intentionally narrow.
They roll over to tomorrow's list automatically at midnight. You'll see them marked as carried over at the top of your list the next morning. Nothing disappears.
The web app is fully mobile-optimized. A native mobile app is on the roadmap.
Your full history stays intact. The rolling 14-day window takes effect again, but nothing is deleted immediately. Upgrade again and it picks up exactly where you left off.
Yes. Recap is a free Notepad alternative built for daily task tracking. Like Notepad, you open it and start typing immediately with no setup. Unlike Notepad, tasks get checkboxes, incomplete tasks roll over at midnight automatically, and you get a searchable day-by-day history with a one-click standup summary.
Start tracking today. Your summary writes itself.
