I always thought it would be nice to complete the reminder as well, but I the lack of the feature has prevented it. I took this one step further and created a shortcut to run on my iPhone which logs the vitamin intake – including all the breakdown of the various types of vitamins – into the Health app, as well as mark it in Streaks as complete to help me keep track of when I've taken it. I use a reminder to trigger this, so I don't forget. You'll need to go to Settings → Siri Shortcuts → Add Complete Task to get the Siri Shortcut and/or add it to Shortcuts.app. So while we wait Shortcuts.app to catch up, GoodTask has added a Siri Shortcut to complete a task (and do so in the background). When I think of what I want Shortcuts to ultimately be, I can't help but want certain features added: for Reminders, having the ability to check off a task would be beneficial for certain shortcuts.
Completing Tasksįor a while now, I've been wanting to see more improvements to Reminders, but lately I've been wanting improved support within Shortcuts. Again, this might not be as visually appealing as the Things view, but it provides me what I need while keeping the native Reminders service integration. I created a quick action to apply a #Today and #Evening tag as a toggle, so that I can quickly tag tasks which show up in the view. This list is sorted by Tag then Due Date, and I also have my calendar events sorted on top, listed under the order section. I created a Smart List which includes my calendar, tasks scheduled for today, and any overdue tasks. Now with the tag sorting, I can recreate this view in GoodTask. Having a separate 'today' and 'evening' section has been critical for me to quickly view and clarify what needs to be done. Having your tasks along with the calendar is a fantastic singular view of what is ahead of me. While it may not be quite as pretty as the Things implementation, the capability in GoodTask allows me to break it down to key areas just the same.Īnother key feature of Things that I adore is the Today view. For example, I can take all of the tasks in my Nerd Life, apply the tags, and have the list sorted on them.
And with the tag sorting, I can re-create this now in GoodTask. When I have a specific project, having the breakout of different subsections is better for my brain. I absolutely love the headings feature of Things. It all stems from the ability to sort lists and smart lists using Tags first, then due dates, etc. With the new tag options, I'm able to now recreate some of the features that Things provided which gives me a better view of my tasks in different views. You can use all of your tags or specific tags per list, which is great for customizing how you view your different lists. GoodTask can parse this as a tag, and allow you to use that information within the note as a tag, much like the other information the developer uses to implement sub tasks. Tags are a clever implementation in GoodTask, which puts a #tag into the note of a reminder. GoodTask 4.5 brings with it the ability to sort a List or Smart List based on tags.
GOODTASK CREATING TASKS ADDING TEXT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE
Those suggestions plus others were carefully considered, because they are now in the version 4.5 update of the app. I had mentioned to the developer that there were a couple features which I was missing from Things, but I was very happy with the improvements to the apps. I was inclined to go back to GoodTask when the Apple Watch app was updated, so I moved everything over there in the beta. From the surprise the first time I started really using it to now, it has made improvement after improvement in both functionality and appearance settings (love me those themes) on all platforms – iOS, macOS, and the Apple Watch. GoodTask has been my long-time favorite Reminders client. I might have even missed a quick affair with OmniFocus as well. Over the course of the last year, I had transitioned away from GoodTask to Things, then Todoist, then back to Things.
