Recurring Task Manager with Client Visibility

Who buys this

Agencies and bookkeepers doing the same recurring work for clients who keep asking 'is it done'.

Where to start in Lovable

Paste this into Lovable as the opening prompt. It sets up one screen and one job, which is easier to grow from.

Build a recurring task manager with a client view. The provider sets up recurring tasks per client (monthly, weekly) that auto-generate on schedule. The team works through them internally, and each client has a read-only page showing what is done and what is upcoming for them, without seeing other clients. Add status, due dates, and an email to the client when a recurring deliverable is complete.

What you will need to wire up

• Lovable AI Gateway
• Lovable Cloud (Postgres, RLS)
• Resend
• Stripe

Build order

1. Auto-generation is the point. Recurring tasks that appear on schedule by themselves are what separate this from a normal to-do app. Set up once, and the monthly work materialises without anyone remembering.
2. Client visibility cuts the emails. A read-only client page answering 'is it done' removes the constant status-check emails. That relief is the emotional sell to any agency drowning in them.
3. Isolation between clients. Each client sees only their own work, never another's. Get that access rule right first, because one leak between clients is a trust disaster.

Where this usually breaks

• The line between this and a full project tool is easy to cross. Stay focused on recurring work with client visibility, or you rebuild Asana and lose the niche.
• Client-facing views raise the stakes on polish and access control. A client seeing a rough internal note or another client's task erodes trust fast.

How it makes money

• Per team seat, clients free. Charge the agency for its team, let clients view free so the agency happily invites them all.
• Tiered by number of clients. Scales with the book of business, which is a fair proxy for the value delivered.

Why this idea works right now

AI has dropped the cost of building software to almost zero, but most people still think you need a team of engineers to ship a real product. You don't. The opportunity behind «recurring task manager with client visibility» is that the underlying tech is finally good enough, the audience already exists, and the tooling: specifically Lovable, lets a single person ship in days what used to take a startup six months.
