MeisterTask is a work management platform from Meister, a company headquartered in Vienna, Austria. It gives teams one place for projects, tasks and documentation, organized around shared visual Kanban boards. The company positions it as a secure, centralized tool and hosts it in Germany.
MeisterTask launched in 2015. Its homepage cites a 4.6/5 rating from 173 reviews and says more than 10,000 companies use it. Customers named on the site include VR-Bank Würzburg, White Arkitekter, UEBE Medical and Ritter Sport.
Work starts with a project board. Teams create tasks on the board, customize its sections (the default is To Do, Doing, Done) and move tasks along as work progresses. Each task holds attachments, comments and a due date, and anyone can become a watcher to get updates.
A personal Home screen gathers upcoming tasks, notifications and personal to-dos. Emails and meeting notes can be turned into tasks, and calendars can be synced. Reports show what finished last week and where work has stalled, and can be exported for stakeholders.
Core planning features include subtasks, checklists, tags, task relationships, custom fields and custom views. Business adds Gantt-style timeline views, a team overview and custom reports. Enterprise adds a workload planner and portfolios for tracking several projects at once.
The Notes knowledge base keeps documentation next to the work. Meister AI can locate pages in Notes and help draft text. Security options include SAML 2.0 SSO, 2FA, role-based access control, penetration tests and a bug bounty program.
