## What is Tasks?

Tasks is designed to make you more productive by better managing your time. This is based on the technique followed by the legendary General and former president of the the United States Dwight D. Eisenhower. This method was made popular by Stephen Covey in his popular title “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”.

Usage:
Just drag the ‘+’ icon to any quadrant to create a new tasks. Simple. You can move the existing tasks to other quadrants by dragging the task across. Once you are done with a task swipe right to mark it complete. If you want to delete a task just swipe left. Want to be notified on due dates? select the ‘bell’ icon and set a due date. When a task is due in the next 24 hours it shows a red marker on the task. If the marker is yellow it means that the card is due in the 48 hours. If the due date is beyond 48 hours the marker will be green in color. If you see a blue marker it means there is not due date for that task.

How to use tasks effectively
Eisenhower’s strategy for taking action and organizing your tasks is simple. Using the decision matrix below, you will separate your actions based on four possibilities.

- Urgent and important (tasks you will do immediately).
- Important, but not urgent (tasks you will schedule to do later).
- Urgent, but not important (tasks you will delegate to someone else).
- Neither urgent nor important (tasks that you will eliminate).

The great thing about tasks app is that it can be used for broad productivity plans (“What should i plan for the coming week?”) and for managing checklists related to certain tasks (ex: Grocery shopping list).

### 5/5 — This is helpful

*2025-11-20, version 1.0*

Hi there Min, I’m Elmo! I tried to install your app just because I am curious, but now I see how helpful it would be for me!

### 4/5 — Good app

*2023-03-02*

Too bad it appears to be abandoned. Nice UI with what appear to be some minor bugs but functional enough to use.

### 5/5 — +++

*2022-08-20, version 1.0*

Одно из лучших и самых удобных приложений. Русский язык легко вводится через аудионабор теста

### 4/5 — This app would be perfect if

*2021-11-09*

When you sorted the tasks within each category, they stayed sorted! I’ll take the time to rearrange things and then they don’t get saved in the order I want them ):

### 3/5 — Check items off?

*2021-11-09*

Nice interface. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove an item or check it as done.

Will update review. Would also be nice to have several folders of different charts. Right now you can only track 1 set of tasks.

### 5/5 — The Absolute BEST

*2021-07-20, version 1.0*

I have downloaded countless planning apps before this, but none compares to this one. As an adult with ADHD I cannot express how thankful I am for the ease of use, the lack of distractions, the simplicity of the design. This was exactly what I needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

### 3/5 — Needs an improvement

*2021-07-15, version 1.0*

It’s not working for me very well, it seems like a great app. I would like to give it the benefit of the doubt, but it’s not working right. It only lets me make one certain type of task, fix this?

### 5/5 — Simple and Easy to Use

*2021-03-03*

Exactly what I need. Thank you dev.

### 5/5 — N

*2020-09-04, version 1.0*

Жалко что нет русской клавиатуры, но зато практикуешь английский

### 2/5 — Weird Format

*2020-06-17*

It works it’s just not a traditional matrix: it will section it off with the left hand being Urgent and the right hand being not urgent. Usually you would read an Eisenhower matrix from bottom right to top left or vice versa but when you do that here, it’s really confusing.
