Task Coach was designed to help you deal with composite tasks

It grew out of the 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.

Here are some key features of "Task Coach":

· Creating, editing, and deleting tasks and subtasks.
· Tasks have a subject, description, priority, start date, due date, a completion date and an optional reminder. Tasks can recur on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
· 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.
· Tasks can be created by dragging an e-mail message from Outlook or Thunderbird onto a task viewer.
· Attachments can be added to tasks, notes, and categories by dragging and dropping files, e-mail messages from Outlook or Thunderbird, or URL's onto a task, note or category.
· 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 and notes can be assigned to user-defined categories.
· Settings are persistent and saved automatically. The last opened file is loaded automatically when starting Task Coach.
· Tracking 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.
· Tasks, notes, effort, and categories can be exported to HTML and CSV (Comma separated format). Effort can be exported to iCalendar/ICS format as well.
· Tasks, effort, notes, and categories can be printed. When printing, Task Coach prints the information that is visible in the current view, including any filters and sort order.
· Task Coach can be run from a removable medium.
· Tasks and notes can be synchronized via a Funambol server such as ScheduleWorld.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

Bugs fixed:
· The notes and attachment columns were not properly refreshed after removing the last note or attachment. (2894530)
· Reminders would randomly not work. (2888688)
· Recurrence frequency would be reset to zero when edited. (2895085)
· Instead of the whole description, show only the first few lines of descriptions in the description column of task, note, and category viewers.
Features added:
· On Mac OS X, you can optionally choose to use Growl for reminders. When enabled, this disables two other features: snooze/don't snooze and open task on reminder.
· Added back the possibility to hide active tasks so that people can have a task viewer that only displays completed tasks. (http://uservoice.com/a/NQCUV)
