Subtasks

Feature Request

Including features like the following:

  • Drag a List, task, or subtask directly into your schedule

  • When two tasks are dragged to the same timeslot, they’ll become subtasks of a new parent task, and you’ll be able to mark them as “done” independently

  • Nested subtasks (subtasks inside of subtasks)

  • Intuitive linking between subtasks, parent tasks, and completion statuses

    This feature is now available in TimeFinder v9.0, the biggest update yet, live now on the App Store!

    This release has been months (and honestly, years) in the making. I’m thrilled to finally share it with you and hope it helps make your days a bit more focused and less chaotic.

    If TimeFinder has made a difference for you, it would mean a lot if you left a quick review; it truly helps more than you can imagine!

    Thank you for your patience, feedback, and encouragement through the years—it keeps this app (and me!) moving forward. ❤️

    P.S. Android & Windows updates are rolling out later today!

    YES… and we need an ability to check them off…

    once checked off, the text could get crossed out instead of having to delete it

      For sure. I just added more details to this item so you can get an idea of what we have in mind. It's gonna be sick 🚀

    Syncing additional Apple Reminders functionality (List—>Section—>Task(note)—>Subtask(note)) as well color and flag sync would be huge.

      I don’t think this is actually possible due to limitations in what information Apple shares to developers. I’m pretty sure tags are another one they don’t share

    Can’t wait for subtasks.

    w/ the ability to “PRINT”, expanded color palette and SUBTASKS, I may be able to dump my moleskin subscription.

      Can you share a screenshot of what a printed output from moleskine looks like? I’d like to understand what you’re looking for there. I assume that you’re familiar with TimeFinder’s “Export Schedule” option but don’t find that it meets your needs?

      Thanks!

        Yes. I am aware of your ability to print either a day or a week, which is great. I was just saying your ability to print is one of the reasons I can dump moleskin once subtasks are done. You can’t print in moleskin’s Timepage or Actions to make a printable checklist or schedule. Which I always wanted because I have ADHD. It’s been a flaw with them. But, I think they do it because they don’t want to take away from their physical product line.

        Your color palette is better too

        Once you do sub tasks or checklists anything project/action oriented like GTD will be great.

    Not a fan of subtasks. It’s either a task or isn’t.

    Adds complication.

    Multiple Tagging folders / projects is a good alternative. Lots of ways to slice and dice then without complication

    Merged another post by @Maggie McAuliffe into this one; lots of good suggestions!

    Her original message:

    I love the app but would love to see a sub task feature where I can block the amount of time I can work each subtask to help me estimate how many tasks within my project I can realistically finish. OR the ability to use more than 1 color for a task. I work from home so on Sundays I look at my schedule and then block chunks of time for work, errands, specific projects etc. Work blocks are yellow, Family Management stuff is blue but within work I have dedicated time for admin tasks, email, tasks related to multiple projects etc. the same goes for managing stuff for my home and kids. Admin is orange for both work & home. It would be great if I could have like an orange block for admin with either a yellow or blue border or icon or something so I know it work vs. home…
