Softpedia Editor's Review for TaskPrompt
|
It completes all your daily and scheduled tasks on time
Written by Elena Opris on February 3rd, 2012
TaskPrompt is a software which enables you to thoroughly organize your day-to-day tasks by categories and other useful parameters.
The interface is not quite impressive, but it's simple to follow. So, even if you haven't used this kind of tool before, you should easily handle it.
So, you can add a task by specifying its category, priority, occurrence, due date and time, alarm date and time and percentage completed.
Furthermore, you can add notes and configure settings when it comes to the snooze time (optionally enable automatic snooze for the specified time).
But you can also edit and duplicate tasks, change the viewing state (all, outstanding, completed) and apply it to priorities, occurrences and categories, as well as use a search function.
Now you can toggle the viewing mode between "Priority", "Occurrence", "Category", "Date Range" and "Calendar", as well as enable long date format, move tasks in the list for the current date, configure shown fields and print tasks (e.g. description with single line, description with notes).
In the "Settings" menu, you can enable automatic checkups for updates and minimization to system tray, set task defaults, configure popup window parameters (e.g. scroll speed, start position, sound notification), set date and time format, assign global hotkeys, and more.
The program uses a very low amount of system resources and includes a comprehensive help file. No errors have popped up during our tests. Unfortunately, the interface lacks the visual impact imposed by modern standards, so improvements are welcomed.
TaskPrompt also needs additional components (e.g. allows you to add and configure an appointment). Nevertheless, it gets the job done and we suggest you try it yourself.
