Learn more on how Task Master can help you be more productive by visiting Why Task Master?
Task Master is a step up from other ToDo apps — a Task Manager that provides more power and flexibility than a typical ToDo list:
All of us have many tasks. Task Master is built specifically to help organize and identify what needs to be done. Quickly.
Each task has a priority and an optional user-defined category.
A task can have an optional due date.
Each task has a creator and can have one or more owners (when multiple people have to do the same task), saving time during task creation.
Tasks are displayed using views that allow filtering by due date, status, priority, category and/or owner.
Sort and further filter tasks by any attribute.
As due date approaches, a task can be automatically elevated in priority and/or send reminders to the owner(s).
Task Master also has the concept of named groups to more easily assign a single task to multiple members and track progress.
Tasks can be private, only visible by a named group, or visible to entire Ledger (public).
Task Master encrypts task information for improved security.
Tasks can be exported to a CSV or text file as well as a PDF file to create a printable report.
Task Master has the concept of Ledger that can be an individual, club, business, etc. that are completely distinct and separate from each other.
A Ledger can have one or more participants (members); each member can belong to one or more ledgers. For example, one might have Personal and Work ledgers.
Members can use Task Master for FREE with some limits; more capability is available in paid tiers.
Task Master Terminology
Task: This is what Task Master is all about. A task is something to do, has a creator, an owner,
a category, and a priority. It also optionally has a due date. Notifications can be sent as a task due date is imminent
and the priority can even be bumped as it gets close. They can be filtered, sorted, and organized easily and quickly.
Ledger: A unique organization or collection (family, club, business, etc.). The active Ledger is displayed on the top line.
Each task is associated with a single Ledger and can only be accessed/seen while in that specific Ledger.
So, for example, you might own two ledgers, one called
"Friends and Family" and another "My Business". This allows you to keep unlike task sets completely separated from each other.
Member: An individual with a unique e-mail address. A member can be owner of a limited number of ledgers,
but can be a member of an unlimited number of non-owned ledgers.
Group: A group is a collection of two or more members in a Ledger and is used to help assign/track issues
for that collection of members. Groups can be marked as private (meaning the group members and also assigned tasks are only visible to that group).
Category: Tasks are delineated by category to distinguish like sets. Categories are defined by each Ledger
and can be anything desired to organize tasks by some common attribute. (Some common examples
are "Setup Meeting", "Travel", and "Pay invoice".) The only built-in category is "General".
Tasks can be sorted and/or filtered by category (using views).
Priority: All tasks have a priority of either Critical, High, Normal, or Low. The default priority is Normal.
Visibility: All tasks have a visibility of either Private, Public, or Group. This allows one to limit who can see which tasks.
View: Views are used to filter tasks. A view can filter by category, priority, owner, and/or due date. Each Ledger offers user-defined views
and there are a number of useful built-in views such as "Tasks owned by me" or "Tasks due this week".
