Task Coach is a simple open source todo manager to manage personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of my frustration that well-known task managers, such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things todo consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with composite tasks.
Features:
- Creating, editing, and deleting tasks and subtasks.
- Tasks have a subject, description, priority, start date, due date and a completion date.
- Tasks can be viewed as a list or as a tree.
- Tasks can be sorted by all task attributes, e.g. subject, budget, budget left, due date, etc.
- Several filters to e.g. hide completed tasks or view only tasks that are due today.
- Task status depends on its subtask and vice versa. E.g. if you mark the last uncompleted subtask as completed, the parent task is automatically marked as completed too.
- Tasks can be assigned to user-defined categories.
- Settings are persistent and saved automatically. The last opened file is loaded automatically when starting Task Coach.
- Track time spent on tasks. Tasks can have a budget. Time spent can be viewed by individual effort period, by day, by week, and by month.
- The Task Coach file format (.tsk) is XML.
What's New in version 0.70.0:
Bugs fixed:
- Allow for editing seconds in effort editor. (1925748)
- The combobox in the effort detail editor always picked the first task when multiple tasks had the same subject, effectively prohibiting the user to move an effort record to another task with the same subject. (1918033)
- Reset invalid input in the priority field of the task editor to 0 instead of to the minimum priority (a large negative value). (1949222)
- "View->Filter->Reset all filters" now also unchecks all categories.
- Task Coach now is packaged as a proper Debian package, thanks to Stani Michiels. The Debian package installs a menu item for Task Coach in the Applications/Office menu. (1792706, 1792711, 1896796)
Features added:
- Paths to file attachments may be relative.
- Monthly and yearly recurrence of tasks. (1933222, 1957687)
- Added and reorganized keyboard short cuts. (1857101)
- Start tracking effort for any active task using the system tray icon right-click menu. (1934738, 1739666)
- Added a largely complete Ukranian translation thanks to Vitovt and incomplete Finnish, Greek, Persian and Thai translations.
Feature changed:
- Slightly higher preference window so all icons fit and no scrolling is needed. (1918678)
Dependencies changed:
- Task Coach now uses Subversion for version control. See http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=130831. This only affects you if you want to develop or use Task Coach source code.
- Task Coach is now distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3 or (at your option) any later version. This only affects you if you want to distribute changed versions of Task Coach or want to include source code from Task Coach in other software.
