Having too many tasks at hand? Feeling stressed? Feel like you don’t know how to prioritise your tasks and manage your time? You need not worry! Tasko is an app that allows you to list your tasks and categorise them according to priority, so you will know when to focus on each task and what to do with it! With the use of the Eisenhower Matrix, your tasks can be divided into 4 different categories: Focus: Tasks that are important and need to be completed urgently. Delegate: Tasks that are not that important, but are needed to be completed urgently. These tasks can be assigned to an individual or a team. Later: Tasks that are important but are not needed to be completed urgently. Archive: Tasks that are not important and are not needed to be completed urgently. With these categories, you can organise your tasks and handle all your tasks seamlessly!

Congratulations. You have downloaded a productivity app. This is either a great decision, or you're procrastinating right now by downloading a productivity app instead of doing the thing you're supposed to do. Either way, welcome. THE MATRIX Not the movie. No red pill, no blue pill. Just four boxes that force you to answer one deeply uncomfortable question: Is this actually important, or do I just FEEL like it's urgent? - Do Now: Yes, this. Right now. Stop reading. - Schedule: Important but not today. Future You will handle it. (Future You is not happy about this.) - Delegate: Someone else's problem. Excellent. - Eliminate: You were never going to do this anyway. Be honest. ACCOUNTABILITY FRIENDS Add your friends. Watch their progress bar in real time. When they're killing it, send a cheer. When they haven't moved in three days, send a nudge. When they nudge you back, feel a complicated mix of gratitude and shame. Get things done. CHECKLIST For people who need to write "shower" on a list before they'll do it. No judgement. We have a Pomodoro timer too. CALENDAR Your deadlines, visualised. In colour. So you can see exactly how bad things are. The month view shows dots in your tag colours on each day. If you see a lot of red dots, that's on you. DEADLINE TRACKER A countdown to your impending doom, but make it aesthetic. TAG COLORS Blue = Work. Red = Urgent. Green = Personal. Yellow = I'll figure out what this is later. The app remembers your labels. It's more organised than you are. WIDGETS Put your next deadline on your home screen. So every time you open your phone to scroll social media, you see it. Staring at you. Waiting. Focus Matrix. Because adulting is hard, but at least it can be colour-coded.
