Task Coach
Task Coach is a simple, open source todo manager to keep track
of personal tasks and todo lists. Often, tasks and other
things todo consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to
deal with composite tasks. In addition, it offers effort tracking,
categories, and notes.
The development of this application grew out of a
frustration that well-known task managers,
such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, which do not
provide facilities for composite tasks.
Features include:
- Create, edit, and delete 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
- Can be run from a removable medium
- Tasks and notes can be synchronized via a Funambol server
such as ScheduleWorld
- Multi-platform
