Firetask: handy task manager (+ competition for readers!)
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
Task Managers help us to be more organized. The simplest of them allow you to create to-do list for today, while others are able to conduct projects and planning work for many months ahead. Among them are some that clearly follow the methodology Getting Things Done (GTD) by David Allen, and there are "adaptation".
Today I would like to talk about a new application in this category - Firetask. The authors of the program - the famous designer Wolfgang Barthelme (wolfgang Bartelme) And developer Gerald Aquila (gerald Aquila).
Firetask main window is divided into three sections - the toolbar above, the main sections (projects, basket, etc.) on the left and right directly to a list of tasks. Starting the program worth a partition In-Tray. This is analogous to the folder "Inbox» (Inbox in the GTD methodology). Record here all the problems, not thinking yet about the organization.
Making a list, you can sort tasks by projects and provide for their deadlines and priorities. Note the flag of cases requiring attention.
All modern management tasks for the Mac can be divided into two categories. Some "tied" to the problem of deadlines (eg, Things, with its emphasis on the events of the day) and the other to the context. In the latter case, the employee has a set of contexts - some things have to be done by phone, online, at home, at work, via email, etc.). All work Omnifocus, for example, is built on the contexts.
Firetask offers a compromise: there are deadlines and in the form Today folder, and contexts that are named in the application categories. By default, the program already has 13 categories: Calls, Emails, Issues, Ideas, Questions, etc. You can choose some category and learn what calls should be done, what mistakes to fix, from whom did not receive a response to your request (waiting for). Categories list open, it can be replenished. Each category has its own icon that identifies the task in the list.
In Firetask tasks can be grouped into projects. The project may be three status - active (in operation), and completed otmennenny. Conveniently.
task list often has to be at hand. We have Firetask mobile version - specifically for the iPhone. Pay attention to it.
In general, Firetask leaves a pleasant impression. Watch the application has since closed beta. The developers are actively working on the program. Against the background of Things, which seems to have stopped in development, it pleases.
