Tasks on your Wrist

Thought, care and passion went into creating this. We could have made a basic app for the Apple Watch, but we went above and beyond. Extremely proud to announce Tasks for watchOS 10!

Let us dive into the details of what you can do on the Watch and how, here's a list:

  • Onboarding
  • Projects
  • Scheduled
  • Project Detail Screen
    • Columns
    • Filters
  • Tasks
  • Settings

Onboarding​

Sign up is extremely simple, just tap Sign in with Apple and you're in. If you have existing projects synced with Tasks Cloud on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, they appear on the Watch within seconds! If you don't have any existing projects, just try out our Sample Project or create your own Project.

Projects​

A card with a gradient that has your picked color for the project along with a preview of your upcoming tasks of that project so you don't have to go into the detail screen unless you need to.

You then see two buttons - a + icon on the right to quickly add a task to that project and a ··· icon to perform two actions, Edit and Delete.

tip

With watchOS 10 you can add a widget for your project.

Scheduled​

We understand the Watch is a place where you would necessarily go to quickly see what you need to complete and get on top of that. Hence the scheduled section to see your upcoming tasks. Tasks here are arranged in the order of the due date field within them.

tip

With watchOS 10 you can add a widget to see your Today or Scheduled tasks right from the Watch main screen.

Columns​

Filters​

Finding tasks on the Watch can be hard because you can only see so much at a time. You can tap the Filter icon on the top right and quickly filter out your tasks from that project to get just the things you need. For example, you are at your local grocery store and use the tag #groceries. You can quickly filter the list with that tag and see just the tasks you need to.

tip

You can filter by tags, priorities, task types and even collaborators.

Do you want to see all tasks assigned to you which are tagged as bugs and have a high priority? You can with 3 taps!

Tasks are shown in the list in a rich manner. You can quickly glance at it and see its title, date, priority and tags if any.

In the task detail screen you can see all the other information. You may tap the pencil icon on the top right corner to edit your task details.
