2/19/2024 0 Comments GoodTask instal the new for iosGoodTask runs notifications for tasks and these pop up on the top right side of your desktop. The App Icon Badge found in the Dock can be set to show how many items you have left to complete for the day. I have one event set for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of every week. You can set powerful repeat options for each task from simple ones like every day or weekday, or custom ones like every 2nd Tuesday, or last weekday of every month. You have quite a bit of customization as to an event’s recurrence. Once I have checked it off for this week, it immediately becomes active for the next time frame. I really like this as I have a few items that I want to do every week. It is possible to set a task as a recurring task. There are buttons for Start Date, Due Date, Alert, Auto-Snooze, Repeat, Location and Attachments. Tapping it will let you edit anything in it. The General area includes due date, alert and repeat options. The Notes area allows you to attach a photo, a video, an audio or a file for that task. Quick Actions are shortcuts that have been set up by the developer to simplify often used processes. When you click on a task, the Task Detail page fills the right-hand panel with various items such as Title, Status Bar, Notes, Quick Actions, General and Subtasks. You can easily switch back and forth between Lists and Board views. Tag will show boards with whatever tags you have used. List will show all Reminders lists on separate boards. Priority will show High, Mid, Low and No Priority boards. Date view will show Today, Tomorrow, Later and No Due date boards. There are four view types: Date, Priority, List and Tag. The Board view shows boards horizontally with tasks on each board according to its type. I can usually see all my uncompleted tasks at the same time. This GoodTask window is compact and able to fit on my desktop without having to do much scrolling. I preferred using the Weekly List view which included any Calendar Events at the bottom. The List view can be seen as a straightforward list, but you can opt for a day, week or month view which includes the appropriate calendar data at the top of the screen. The two main views are List view and Board view. Again, GoodTask is up to the challenge and offers you numerous ways to view your information. Now that you have a list of tasks to complete, you need to decide on how to display the data. With GoodTask you tap the circle next to the task or subtask. As with most task managers, you can indicate when a task has been completed. These will appear as smaller print under the task title, with the ability to check each one off as they are completed. The function I like the most is the ability to make subtasks. Pick a descriptive title, choose which list to store it in, decide on a due time/date (or leave it unscheduled), and then add notes or a URL to the field. Once the list is created, you then add tasks to it. I have separate lists for various functions such as weekly chores and work-related activities. You can set up as many lists as you want. Tap the ‘+’ button at the bottom left to bring up a choice of what kind of list you want. Creating a new list will probably be your first action. If you already have some data stored in the Reminders app, these will show up in the lists. There are already a few Smart Lists activated when you start the app. ‘Smart Lists’ allow you to filter tasks, regardless of which Reminders list they belong to. ‘Lists’ represent the lists you’ve set up in the Reminders app. When you first open GoodTask, you’ll see two types of data: Smart Lists and Lists. The layout was different but the compact size of GoodTask’s window was much better suited to my needs. I was able to quickly duplicate data from my old task manager and transfer it into GoodTask. It has a multitude of settings that will let you customize the app to match your needs. Use GoodTask in a simple manner like Reminders with the Calendar’s data integrated or you can fully customize it to be a full-featured task manager. Read on to discover some of the functionality that GoodTask provides. GoodTask is an application that uses the Reminders core and then puts it out into a more user-friendly format. It is sufficient for many of our needs but it does lack power. Reminders is an application included in all versions of Mac OS and iOS. Now with computers, iPads, iPhones and the Internet, this can be better accomplished digitally. The antiquated method was to keep a daily paper calendar organizer with us. As many of our tasks are not daily occurrences, but rather weekly or some even monthly, we need a way to keep track of them all. The first question is what day should any one of them be completed. Keeping track of all the weekly tasks one has to get through is fraught with problems.
