YC-backed Roma launches: the to-do list that does the tasks itself
ycombinator · x · 2026-10-06
Roma, a YC-backed startup, has launched its eponymous Mac and iOS app — a to-do list that actually executes your tasks. Users capture a thought by rambling, Roma turns it into a structured task and starts the work (drafts, planning, follow-ups) for later review. It supports conversational task management, connected apps, and recurring work. The team's pitch: 'agency over agents' — work should stay visible and steerable, not vanish into a chat.
