I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Support for accessing Task Coach items on Android

    Note from the Task Coach team: this item was updated to clarify some support for Android in some form. There is another request for a full Task Coach Android app, but we don't have the resources to do it, so it's more an issue of finding new team members who want to do the work of developing the app.

    See the other request here:
    https://taskcoach.uservoice.com/forums/26480-other-task-coach-requests/suggestions/2652582-a-full-android-version-of-task-coach-comparable-t

    But voting on that won't do much, as we aren't capable of making this happen right now. Please do whatever you can to recruit developers for this. We would love to see it happen.

    Release 1.2.26 has the ability to import/export tasks from/to the Todo.txt format. Using the free Simpletask app for Android (in Google Play or from F-Droid here: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=nl.mpcjanssen.simpletask ) you can edit your tasks on your Android device and then import them again in Task Coach. If you turn on automatic importing and exporting in the preferences dialog, Task Coach keeps its task file in sync with the accompanying todo.txt file. See the Help in Task Coach for more information.

    The big advantage (for us ;-) of this solution is that Todo.txt (and the Todo.txt format) are open source as is the Simpletask app, so that developing Todo.txt integration was/is relatively easy to do.

    Because Task Coach is developed by just two people (Jérôme and Frank) , developing and supporting another app in another programming language is simply not an option. That’s the main reason why I opted for integration with…

  2. add inline editing

    Takes relative long time to open a task, and too much mouse movements and clicks to edit relative simple properties.
    Just selecting a task and type or dropdown in the main window would improve this

  3. stop using "she"

    Using "she" as your exclusive pronoun is female-sexist, political and distracting from your purpose in communicating something. Using "he" exclusively is old-fashioned and oblivious but at least it's not political. Alternating "she" and "he" is very self-conscious and distracting from the point you're making. I find the best solution to be "they" which is becoming accepted even though grammar books might not like it! Or use more passive voice if you prefer.

  4. Autostopping effort tracking when screensaver's on

    It would be nice and more realistic, if when screensaver starts, time-tracking of all activities would stop automatically.

    Since there are sorts of activities that can be on even when screensaver is running (e.g.: long installations), each item may have a checkboxed property showing if time-tracking of the item should be stopped or not when input devices are idle.
