Month View Hello,

The Month View is really helpful when working on larger projects.
I use it with the integrated details pane (macOS).

It would be great if clicking on a task didn't open a separate window for the entire day, but instead simply displayed the details for that task in the integrated details pane.

It would also be helpful if tasks could be moved directly via drag-and-drop in the monthly view, without having to go through the extra daily window.

If these two features could be integrated, it would be possible to work almost entirely without additional calendar apps (BusyCal, etc.). That would be a huge relief in daily work, as it reduces the annoying back-and-forth switching between different applications.

Thank you very much for your efforts!

Shortcuts do not work reliably Hello,

I had really hoped that this suggestion would be included in the latest update.

In addition, the undo function (Cmd+Z) is unreliable in some cases, which can sometimes lead to very serious problems. Especially since GoodTask is marketed as a project management tool, this function should work reliably.

It would be really reassuring not to receive the standard response here, but rather a commitment that the issue will be addressed.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your kindness in this matter.

App Crashes with Location Based Reminders Created via Shortcut This was caused by some missing values on location based alert that's made in Shortcuts app. Crash will be fixed on next update but it may take some time to get released. Meanwhile you may try editing location value inside GoodTask (changing something like 'When I arrive..' to 'When I leave..' back and forth) which should make the issue go away for that task. Thanks!

mac app trial version not refreshing properly Hi @cnolsen , thanks for the feedback.

There is an issue on macOS which you've mentioned but it only happens rarely. As you open the Reminders app and let macOS know that it needs to refresh the data, it should get refreshed afterwards without opening the Reminders app. Thanks!

mac app trial version not refreshing properly Hi Goodtask folks,

I have been using the iOS version of Goodtask for quite a while now and I really like it. I decided to test out the mac version in the hopes that it will help me be more productive. Unfortunately, I found that after checking off several tasks from my phone, those tasks didn't appear completed on my macbook. I clicked the gear icon at the bottom to hard refresh, but that didn't do the job. I then opened the native Reminders app, and when that loaded the tasks synced correctly in Goodtask.

Is this the expected behavior? Is it something that would be resolved by purchasing the full version, or by changing a setting? There's a lot I like about the mac app, but if I always have to open reminders to get it to sync I don't know if it's worth the hassle.

Thanks in advance for your help!

App Crashes with Location Based Reminders Created via Shortcut Hi, not sure if anyone has come across this issue. I have several reminders created with Shortcuts that have a Location. But when I make changes iniside GoodTask it crashes the app (on both the Mac and iOS).

How To Hide Inline Notes? Hi @paladintom , thanks for the feedback.

„New Task“ window - correction of typo in subtasks Hello,

Unfortunately, it is not possible to correct typing errors in a subtask in the "New Task" window, once another subtask has been created. Or am I overseeing something here?
It is very time-consuming to be able to do this only after confirming the task and editing the subtask again in the "detail" window. It would be great if this could be changed in the next update.

Thanks a lot!

Why are events not sorted by time in Day List view?



I have a question. In the full month view, my tasks and events are perfectly ordered by time, in the sequence in which they occur. However, in the day list view, all the events appear at the top and they are not ordered by time. Why does this happen? Is there a way to sort them by time as well?

Thank you so much

Reminder Flagged status in GoodTask Sorry, no, you're right, I was reading a Google Gemini summary that suggested the priority property could be used for flagged status, but clicking through to Apple's documentation makes clear that it's it's an int for priority :slightly_frowning_face:

Definitely displayed as a property in Reminders Suite in Script Editor but I guess that's not useful

Sorry for misinformation...

Reminder Flagged status in GoodTask Hello:

Is Reminder flagged status available in GoodTask?

I can't see flagged status in GoodTask but maybe I'm not looking in the right place

I see previous posts that it wasn't available and suggesting posting a request to Apple

However, it like it's available in the Reminders Suite in Script Editor, and also as the EKReminder.priority property in EventKit

Start Dates 1st of month, Due Date last day of month I would like to be able to set a start date for the first day of the month and a due date for the last day of the month for a recurring task. When a task is completed, the next task would have a start date of the first day of the next month and due date of the last day of the next month.

When I try this for February, for example, due date is set to be last day of month in Reminders (Feb 28). I set start date in GoodTask to be Feb 1. When I complete the task, the next due date for the recurring task is March 28 and next start date is not set to March 1.

Is there a way to set this up to have monthly recurring tasks with start date of 1st of month and due date the last day of the month?

Thanks!

Link formatting in list and board view Thanks for the quick response!

In Board View links appear as full paths in the notes field. In the detail window of the task they show correctly formatted without the path (markdown link, shown as "MAIL").

Urgent alarm feature @GoodTask Thank you for adding this feature!

Automatic completion of tags Sure!

Example 1:
A selected task in a board needs to have a tag added to it without using the cursor.
I have created a shortcut for a quick action that opens the tag window.
Unfortunately, I now have to use the cursor to scroll through a long list of tags to select the right one with a click.
It would be much easier if the tag window had a text field in which an entry could be quickly added (as in the dialog window when creating a NEW task by typing #).
In this way, entering a single initial letter (followed by the return key) would be enough to quickly achieve the desired result.

Example 2:
When clicking on the tag icon in the detail window of a task, the method described above would also be very helpful.

Thanks again!

One more note on a workaround I just tried:
In order to be able to quickly assign at least the most frequently used tags, I created them as quick actions and assigned keyboard shortcuts to them.
The assigned keys are displayed in the GUI, but often only work for a short time after the app has been restarted...

Automatic completion of tags Hello,

It is very convenient that tag completion is offered when creating new tasks.
It would be a great help if this option were available in all other contexts where tags are used. As soon as you want to add a tag retrospectively, the process becomes a little bumpy, etc..

Maybe I miss something here?

Swipe option for lists access Hi,

About the swipe left/right options on a task: There are many options available, but why can't we have a "List" option to quickly move a task to another list?

Actually, it takes four steps to achieve this common action.(swipe → grouped actions → List icon → Choose list)

Appearance of links Here is a spontaneous suggestion on this topic:

If links are copied into the note field of a task, could they be automatically converted to markdown links?
As a link title, there could be a standard placeholder text such as "Link"...?

This would make the appearance of lists that contain many tasks with links immediately appear clearer and encourage focused work.

What do you think?
