One thing I love about Actions is it design, but I miss some features that some other apps have, like things 3 (I am an ex-user). -Subtasks, filters, the due date from a task is different than when I want to do it, things like these tipe off apps have!
Keep doing this great work!!
I’d love to have an easy add subtask function with built-in strike trough or gray out (some automated differentiator) enabled on completion and animate the completed subtask so that it moves to the bottom of the subtasks but is still visible. an option to show/hide completed subtasks would be appreciated as well.
Just a simple list where I can check off the options as they come. Grocery lists, packing lists, etc. All under one Action.
Didn’t realize this could not be done when purchased 10 minutes ago This is beyond essential for me. This now can’t act as task manager other than the most basic...that’s a massive dealbreaker. Like many, think I was “googled-eyes” at your gorgeous GUI. It’s the most beautiful I’ve ever seen in industry. If you add the subtask feature soon, your product will explode past others … So for now, Apple still works, just boring plain cardboard box version of what we all WANT thx.
I too would really love this feature!
@Ben Hamey Would it be possible to provide a duplication feature so that you can create effectively a repeating set of tasks/sub-tasks? I plan events and meetings and both regularly have the same set of sub-tasks. The ability to copy or set up a template would be amazing. 🙏🏻 🥃 Slàinte!
This is extremely important to me as I like to break down large tasks into smaller, more manageable ones. I also have tasks that need to be repeated with certain changes each time. For example, if I might have a task like "Make dinner", and in there I'd have subtasks for "Cook turkey", "Make pasta", "Prepare drinks", etc. Having these as separate tasks would be messy.
I like everything on one list. With check boxes so I can mark off the ones finished. Have the checked items Remain on the list so I can gloat with pride.
The ability to divide actions in sub-actions that are grouped in lists. To begin with maybe only two levels.
What is currently -- for instance -- a list called "shopping". Each action in that list is the name of the store.
It would be great if you can add nested actions under each store that are items that you want to buy in that store.
I used shopping as an example here, but it can also apply to projects, things to do for clients, etc
Maybe an idea is not to show nested items in Timepage app as is true now for lists.
Would love to see an option for “notes as checklist” under each individual action - I’ve used this in Wunderlist and it is very helpful- am loving the app so far though!
I agree with Amanda & Serge! I love using Wunderlist but fell in love with Timepage and discovered Actions... would be so great if both apps become one amazing app instead of jumping from one app to the other
A habit tracker is also on my wishlist! For repeated task and reminders like take vitamins, water plants, drink water. Each habit will summarize monthly in a overview :)
New too
I would appreciate this option too!!!
Agreed !
Yes, very important. Absolutely necessary!
Similar to Remember the Milk
Adding an actual checklist will be great.
go shopping At ...
- item 1
- item 2
- item 3
So on...
Better if they’d be able to get checked off.
great idea, we have plans of implementing sub-tasks which will allow for this. I'll merge this into that feature request so that your votes get counted there.
Heck yeah !! And make them collaborative please 🙏
Checklist generation in Action Cards/ Notes. Ability to check off individual items in lists.
A nested checklist would be an amazing add to the app. eg. “groceries” with a list that could be checked off
If you were to implement tasks inside the task inside the lists, do it in a very easy text format so that sees subtasks could be exported to Reminders into the “Notes” field of the reminder,
For example:
REMINDER: “Birthday Party”
+make venue reservation
+pick the menu
+send invitations
-confirm attendance & dietary resttictions
-customize and update the menu
-update menu with the venue
-order minivans to take people home
-pick/shop for outfit
-get a haircut
=birthday party [the main event corresponding to the reminder in the notes of which these sub-tasks are stored. -/+ indicate unfinished and finished subtasks.
If you want to do scheduling and alerts in Actions App fro these tasks, store that info in square brackets after each task, or as a redundant recoverable code at the end of the note, if you don’t want anybody to edit it and corrupt the proper format, e.g.,
-call mom to invite personally [2018-02-28_19:30(or 11:30PM){depending on the settings in iOS}]
Or, at the end of the note,
<do not edit>
HHSUEJDJEIDUDDBXBZXBXJSKDUXHHDDBFHHRKDBFJRDNDBNDNDNDNDJDNDNDJDNOHSUEHDBDHDJDHRJEKKDMCJGO
<end of Base64 code>
(...or along these lines...)
@Serge Davidov: I like your idea of using lists as the way to groups actions. I am doing that now.
Do not implement any functions which would make a two-way sync with iOS reminders.
Only build around it.
There are TONED of complex task/project management apps for any taste, such as Wunderlist, Todoist, and literally hundreds more, for any taste.
But they lock you in, and that is a HUGE con for using them.
This will prevent from being able to sync up with iOS Reminders. Use Lists and create tasks in lists. This is compatible with Reminders App.
What about generating a checklisttool in „actions“ ?
Checklist type subtadks would be an amazingly useful option and eould have me deleting Things from my device.
Subtasks/ checklists option needed
Completely Agree
Yes. Subtasks under main tasks. I wish this feature could be coming soon with Actions update!
I was going to ask for this to. It is essential for a to do list and for me to move from Things.
@Amanda Threlfall : agreed!
Thanks Enric! There are already feature requests for sub tasks and due dates - I'll merge this post in with sub tasks to keep everything organised! :)
