Features
Task Coach currently (1.2.3) has the following features:
- Creating, editing, and deleting tasks and subtasks.
- Tasks have a subject, description, priority, start date,
due date, a completion date and an optional reminder. Tasks can
recur on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
- Tasks can be viewed as a list or as a tree.
- Tasks can be sorted by all task attributes, e.g. subject,
budget, budget left, due date, etc.
- Several filters to e.g. hide completed tasks or view
only tasks that are due today.
- Tasks can be created by dragging an e-mail message from
Outlook or Thunderbird onto a task viewer.
- Attachments can be added to tasks, notes, and categories by
dragging and dropping files, e-mail messages from Outlook or
Thunderbird, or URL's onto a task, note or category.
- Task status depends on its subtask and vice versa. E.g. if
you mark the last uncompleted subtask as completed, the parent
task is automatically marked as completed too.
- Tasks and notes can be assigned to user-defined categories.
- Settings are persistent and saved automatically. The
last opened file is loaded automatically when starting
Task Coach.
- Tracking time spent on tasks. Tasks can have a budget.
Time spent can be viewed by individual effort period, by day,
by week, and by month.
- The Task Coach file format (.tsk) is XML.
- Tasks, notes, effort, and categories can be exported to HTML
and CSV (Comma separated format). Effort can be exported to
iCalendar/ICS format as well.
- Tasks, effort, notes, and categories can be printed. When printing,
Task Coach prints the information that is visible in the current
view, including any filters and sort order.
- Task Coach can be run from a removable medium.
- Tasks and notes can be synchronized via a
Funambol server such
as ScheduleWorld.
There is a todo-list application for iPhone and iPod Touch that can synchronize with Task Coach
through the network, starting with version 0.73.2 of Task Coach. Main features are
- Hierarchical categories.
- Editing of task subject, description, dates and completed status.
- Tap on the task's led icon to mark it complete.
- Available in English and French.
