Released version is 0.17.10. There are two new features, if I remember it right :). First of them is the ability to copy action's details (notes) to a separate note in the whole app's Notes-Ideas section. Use the menu on the action page. The note will be created and it's title will be "From action action_name_here". A bar will pop up clicking on which you will be able to go straight to the note. This often comes handy if you keep notes related to some actions while working on them, and want to keep the notes once you finish the action (which I usually delete).
Another feature - when you filter by goal or set an action's goal, you can now create a new goal and use it. Just press the (+) round button in the goal list that opens. It will ask you to choose a role you want to add the goal to, then enter the goal text. This goal will then be either applied as the filter on the FTF/Actions pages (if you triggered the page by filter), or will be set as action's goal.
There are still bugs known to be fixed, will look at them next. Among them - setting filter on FTF/Actions to 'Today' ignores calendar dates, only abstract week days are used. For example, today November 16th, 2015, Monday. If you set the filter to 'Monday' it will ignore all the actions that have their action date set as 'Nov. 16th, 2015'. This is the result of the evolutionary development - as many of you know, calendar dates for actions have come not long ago. Before that we had only week days. The filter worked with those week days, but has not been updated to use the calendar dates as well. We are working on fixing it.
Hello Sir, best app, do you have a tutorial as to how to use this app, thanks
ReplyDeleteNo tutorial, Christina. Only tips and how-tos from this blog.
Deletecan you guide me to the tips chronologically, plz. Thanks
DeleteThe tips disappear when we start typing... Can you keep them ? It's usefull to organise your thoughts...
ReplyDeleteTiago, are you talking about 'Why?What?..."? If yes, we agree (and want) the tips better stay, but currently standard android input works like that. Will look if there are any more advanced inputs that we can use.

DeleteMaybe a setting that allows me to saw yes insert default note and this template language becomes part of the note or no in default and you get the same behavior you have now.
DeleteI like the tool. It seems a little too complex, tho. Maybe because it's not easy to see how pieces connect together.
DeleteMaybe have tasks under goals?
And why do tasks in Urgent,Important disappear
from the task list?
Needs more examples in Help.
Seems like it's not fully functional yet. But I'm only on my second day of using. I have 6 Roles and almost 50 tasks. Overall, I like it!

Ideas to improve this software
ReplyDeleteAssign an estimated duration to the task and check the phone calendar for an available spot to do that task in work hours or after work hours.
This seriously needs a desktop app that can sync to and from phone. Also if it went ahead and dealt with habits without needing a separate app that would be great as well.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you
DeleteCalendar sync would be awesome too (especially with the Sunrise app)
Also, to add. I have a lot of tasks and it is very hard to organize them. They are in four small boxes and I can't take "quick made" tasks and put them in the weekly schedule. So really tough to stay organized. I really wish I could give them a date and they would stay hidden till then. It could be tomorrow or a month from now. Thanks for your work!
ReplyDeleteI'd love less typing. When setting certain task that automatically have a certain set of sub task required to obtain said task having a list of suggestions with fill in options to personalize them would be awesome. A pretyped List of phrases would speed things up and improve useability. Some idea examples to speed things up would be "Go grocery shopping" and then be prompted to add items now with preset list if items like milk, eggs, bread, custom, etc. Also ability to have a reminder display at the time you would be headed home, or "pick up "blank" from "blank" at "blank" and allow editing and a pop up prompt to set alarm or notification , any thing that can save time and thumb strain would not only guide new users on how to use it and any amount of time saved on input would help improve life overall
ReplyDeleteDo you have web app also.

ReplyDeleteHi Andtek
ReplyDeleteLove your app!
Great work! FTF view is such good way to prioritize.
Just wonder if it would be even easier to use if FTF is just based on the due date and importance set in the action, not by separate setting?
Right now its basically managed manually twice and its somewhat clumsy.
Also not urgent task may one day become urgent as due date is approaches.
The definition of urgency maybe different for each person but I guess if a task should not be rescheduled and is within x days(custom setting), then it's urgent?
Here are my suggestions for added functionality.
ReplyDelete1) Enable auto-sync across devices via the cloud (gdrive).
2) A distinct Android calendar that can be accessed via other applications.
Perhaps you can publish a FTF of all the planned enhancements and pin it to the top of the blog?
Hi andtek. I love the app. Do you enable the button in the home screen widget to directly mark the action complete directly from the widget. It will be a great help for us. Thank you
ReplyDeleteIs it possible to change the calander begining date. Currently it begins with Monday. I want to change it to Sunday.
ReplyDeletelooks great & Promissing app.
ReplyDeleteThe Truly missing item is the educational material. in my little experience this may be the biggest obsticle against dissemination of such Promisg work.
Regards.
Hi
ReplyDeleteHave found the following:
When viewing all actions (for a particular quadrant) within a role, select an action and without opening the action, tap the 'day' selector in the lower left corner of the action box - it is not possible to set a 'calendar day' from here; you have to open/view the action instead to do this.
Thanks
Chris, thank you! We see the bug, will fix it soon.
