Your First Task

Let's create your first task and experience how Taskitos helps you get things done.

Creating a Task

There are several ways to add a task in Taskitos. Let's start with the most common method: the Quick Add bar.

1

Open the Dashboard

After signing in, you'll land on your dashboard. This is your home base where all your tasks live, organized by time categories.
2

Use Quick Add

At the top of the dashboard, you'll see the Quick Add bar. Click on it or press the + button.
3

Type Your Task

Type what you need to do. Try something like: "Call dentist tomorrow at 2pm" or "Review presentation Friday morning". Taskitos understands natural language!
4

Set Details (Optional)

You can star it for urgent reminders, add tags to organize it, or make it recurring. These are all optional.
5

Save

Press Enter or click the save button. Your task is now created and will appear in the appropriate time category (Today, This Week, etc.).

Natural Language Magic

Taskitos uses AI to understand natural language. Try phrases like:
  • "Pay bills next Monday"
  • "Doctor appointment January 15 at 3pm"
  • "Call mom in 2 hours"
  • "Weekly team meeting every Tuesday at 10am"

Understanding Task Fields

Due Date

When the task needs to be completed. This determines which category your task appears in (Today, This Week, etc.) and when reminders start.

Starring

Star tasks that need urgent attention. Starred tasks get reminded every hour when overdue, while unstarred tasks only get reminded once per day.

Tags

Color-coded labels to organize tasks. Create tags like "Work", "Personal", "Health", etc. Filter your task view by tag to focus on specific areas.

What Happens After You Create a Task

Once your task is created, here's what to expect:

  1. Task appears in the right category - Based on the due date, it'll show in Today, This Week, This Month, or Later.
  2. Reminders are scheduled - When due time arrives, you'll start receiving email notifications.
  3. Escalating reminders - If you don't complete it, reminders increase: due time → +30min → +2hr → +6hr.
  4. Auto-rescheduling - If you miss the task completely, it automatically reschedules to the next day.

Respect for Your Time

Taskitos respects your Quiet Hours setting. No reminders during your sleep time! Configure this in Settings → Notification Preferences.

Try It: Your First Task Challenge

Create a task right now:

  1. Go to your dashboard
  2. Click Quick Add
  3. Type: "Test task - check Taskitos reminders today at [current time + 5 min]"
