Question Looking for a good task manager!!!

I'm trying to find something that will:

1. Display off of and be controlled via the Today Screen.
2. Must be able to prioritize tasks by A1, A2, B1, C1 etc.. and group them together (so that all the A's are together, B's are together and so on(


Basically, I want to be able to quickly create tasks of the most important things I NEED to do today in order (A), things I SHOULD do today if I have time (B) and things that need to be done at some time in the future (C).

Does that make any sense?


I've looked at TaskPlus, TodayPlus, tAgenda and a few others, none of which seem to work the way I describe (unless I'm just missing something here).

Is there anything out there that will do what I require?

Or Pocket Informant.

Both are very similar in functionality and cost, and both have free, full-featured trial versions so you can try both and buy whichever one you happen to like better.

I've looked at both and they don't seem to do what I describe unless I'm missing something. I'd like to see something like this on my today screen:

[] A1 Set up demonstrations
[] A2 Make 5 sales calls
[] B1 Make deposit
[] B2 Pick up dry cleaning
[] C1 Get car cleaned and detailed


So, basically I need to be able to prioritize and collapse/expand by priority level. Any ideas??

You can do this with ListPro but, while you can start ListPro from the Today screen, it won't display the tasks there.

I'm surprised Iliumsoft don't consider adding a feature so you can treat one list as a set of tasks and have them display on the Today screen. Of course, there might be technical problems with allowing you to collapse/expand them there...

I'm not sure about Agenda but Pocket Informant allows you to set priority for Tasks of A-Z and 1-99; i.e. A1, B3, etc. This is set under Options - Tasks, set the Task Priority Manager Assigns... to Yes.

Any application that displays the tasks on the Today screen sorted by priority should then do what you want.

I prefer TodayPlus myself with PI running in the background for all my appts, tasks, etc. The latest version is great!

Well, I have Agenda Fusion installed and it does allow for the priorities like I need, but it doesn't group by them; items are grouped by category.

I tried today plus, but after install, when I launch it, I only get a solid white screen and nothing else. Kinda odd...
