The job arrives in Telegram. So does the deadline.
Forward the message to the bot. It asks when the work is due and keeps it from there: a reminder in Telegram, and on your desktop a pop-up above every window — with sound, even when Telegram is closed.
Free, no card and no sign-up — you log in with Telegram.
Three steps, then it runs without you
- 1
Forward
Any message from a work chat — text, a file, a whole album of mockups. The first line becomes the title, attachments travel with the task.
- 2
Set the deadline
One tap: “Now”, “Today”, “Tomorrow 9:00”. Or in words — “Friday 6pm”, “in three days”. The bot uses your time zone.

Don't miss it
Ahead of time — a reminder in Telegram. On your desktop — a pop-up above all windows and a tray badge with today's count. An overdue task keeps speaking up.

Frequently asked questions
- What does Deadlinus do?
- It turns a message forwarded in Telegram into a task with a due date. Then it reminds you twice: a message in Telegram and a pop-up above every window on your desktop.
- Do I need to sign up or add a card?
- No. You log in with Telegram and no payment details are requested. The free plan has no time limit.
- How much does it cost?
- Free — a limited number of active tasks and one device, forever. Pro — unlimited tasks and devices, paid with Telegram Stars inside the bot, trial included.
- Which platforms are supported?
- The bot runs in Telegram on any device. The desktop app is for Windows; Linux builds (AppImage and deb) are available. There is no macOS build yet.
- How is it different from a regular to-do list?
- A task is created where the work arrives — in chat, by forwarding one message together with its files. And the reminder is a pop-up above all windows with sound, not a notification that is easy to miss.
- Can it track time and money?
- Yes. Each task has a timer, an hourly rate or a fixed amount. You can see what you earned over a period and who has not paid yet.
- Does it work offline?
- No. Tasks live on the server and sync between the bot and the desktop app, so a connection is required.
- What about data privacy?
- Task notes are encrypted in the database. A device is unlinked with one button in settings, after which its token stops working.
