Helm + Things & Tasks
Not every report needs a team issue tracker. Send TestFlight feedback to Things or Tasks when the next step is yours to ship.
Personal follow-ups from beta
Solo developers and small teams often need a to-do, not a sprint ticket. Helm can create items in Things or Apple's Tasks from TestFlight feedback so you do not lose a useful report in a long inbox.
Use this when the fix is on you: polish a copy change, verify a device-specific crash, or follow up with a tester after the next build.
Things vs Tasks
Choose Things if that is already your GTD home. Choose Tasks if you prefer staying inside Apple's reminders-style workflow. Both give you a lightweight capture path from the same TestFlight feedback screen in Helm.
- Create Things to-dos from feedback
- Create Tasks items when you want an Apple-native list
- Keep triage in Helm, execution in your task app
- Available alongside GitHub and Linear for mixed workflows
A simple solo workflow
1. Review TestFlight feedback after each beta push.
2. File team bugs to GitHub or Linear.
3. Send personal action items to Things or Tasks.
4. Mark the feedback done so your Helm inbox stays current.
For inviting and organizing testers before the feedback arrives, see manage TestFlight testers.
Limits and Pro
Creating tasks from integrations counts toward Helm's integration usage. Free gets you started; Helm Pro is the better fit when every beta cycle produces a long follow-up list.
FAQ
Do I need Things installed?
Yes for the Things path. Install Things and connect it from Helm Settings under Integrations before you create to-dos from feedback.
Can I use Tasks instead of Things?
Yes. Helm supports Tasks as another lightweight capture option from the same TestFlight feedback flow.
Should I use this instead of GitHub?
Use Things or Tasks for personal follow-ups. Use GitHub or Linear when the work needs a shared issue, assignee, and status on a team board.
