Tasks and reminders

Add a task by speaking or typing, give it a time, a deadline and a reminder, answer reminders on the floating icon, plan your day, and keep goals.

How do I add my first task?Open Tasks, click Add a task, type what needs doing and press Enter. The app reads any day or time in your words and shows it as a chip.
How do I add a task from the floating icon?Hover the floating icon and click Add task. A small box opens above it. Type or dictate the task, check the chips and press Enter.
How do When, Deadline and reminders work on a task?When is a start plus a length. A Deadline is the latest finish. A reminder counts from the start or the deadline, with nine choices.
What happens when a reminder is due?A number appears on the floating icon and a card rises above it with buttons for that moment. Answer it, or leave it; the number keeps count.
What is Just a reminder, and how is it different from a task?Just a reminder is a name and a time with an optional repeat. It goes off, you press Done or Later, and it never counts as a task.
How do I plan my day with Today's three?Each morning a Plan your day card lets you pick up to three tasks, hardest first, say when you will start, and note what might get in the way.
How do I see my tasks as a list, board, calendar or mind map?The icons at the top right of Tasks switch between List, Board, Calendar and Mind Map. All four show the same tasks, and the last one you used opens next time.
How do I set up a goal and keep its tasks together?Click the flag in Tasks, then New goal. Name it, list its tasks, and the goal page tracks progress, finishes itself with an Undo, and has a Mind Map.
What does the week report show?The week report counts what you scheduled, finished, moved and dropped in a week. It is worked out on your computer and says nothing about good or bad.
Where are my tasks kept, and can I get a deleted one back?Tasks live on your computer, are encrypted when you turn encryption on, go into backups, and need no account. Removed tasks stay 30 days.
