Subtasks, estimates, deadlines, priorities and tags

Everything in the task window: subtasks, estimates, deadlines, priority, tags, reminders, files and more.

Click any task to open the task window, where you can add subtasks, estimates, deadlines, priorities, tags and more.

Subtasks

Break big tasks into steps with Add subtask. Tick them off as you go.

Pro: Click Break down with AI and Planzer suggests subtasks for you.

Estimate

Pick how long the task should take, from 30 minutes up to 12 hours in 30-minute steps. Estimates are used to plan your day, to show when you’ll be done and to compare with the time you actually track.

You can also change the estimate by resizing the task’s block on the calendar.

Deadline

Click Set deadline and pick a date. The deadline is separate from the day the task is planned for: you can plan a task for Monday that’s due on Friday. Overdue deadlines are marked as Overdue.

Priority

Choose Urgent, High, Medium, Low or None. Priority helps Plan my day decide what to suggest and in what order.

Tag

Give the task a tag, such as #deep-work or #errands. Each task can have one tag. Create and edit tags from the user menu under Tags.

Project and milestone

Add the task to a project, and optionally to one of that project’s milestones.

Description

Waiting and blocked

  • Mark as waiting lets you note who or what you’re waiting on, for example “Sarah for design review”.

  • Blocked by links the task to other tasks that need to be done first.

Reminders

Click Add reminder to be notified 5 minutes up to 1 day before the task, or at a custom time. Choose whether it arrives by Email, Push or Both.

Files

Pro: Click Add file to attach files up to 5 MB each.
