Project filter for tasks and tasks Estimated time

Hello, thank you very much for your app. Recently I've been trying several focus and to-do productivity tools. I saw your product on Reddit and I'm also trying hard to learn how to use it.

I have two feature questions: are these something you would consider developing?

1. Does Tasks have a filter for Projects?

I understand that you can see tasks within each Project, but on the Tasks page I think users could more intuitively see whether each task is one of today's tasks.

And maybe some tasks are my side projects, and I don't want tasks from those side projects to interfere with my work.

2. Estimated time for each task

I can understand treating each session as a focused time block to complete a task, but sometimes I also want to know whether the time I spent on a particular task matched my expectations.

Sometimes only in retrospect can I determine which tasks in that session took more time than necessary.

Above are some of my questions. Thank you for developing this app — I wish you all the best with your work.

💯💯💯

    Estimated time is also a much needed feature for planning tasks. Basically estimated time and amount of time already spent on the task.

      Can you share your use case and how you think about estimates? Is it more of a time budget you want to spend on a task, or is it more for reflection, where you want to see whether you spent the estimated amount of time on it?

      Or would you use estimates more for daily/weekly planning?

      And if that’s the case, how would you imagine estimates working with sessions?

    Hey, thanks a lot for the thoughtful feedback, and for trying out the app! We really appreciate you taking the time to share this 🙌

    1. Project filter for Tasks

    Yes, this is a high priority for us.
    We’re planning to introduce a sidebar in the Tasks view that will let you easily filter:

    • all tasks

    • completed tasks

    • tasks synced from integration

    • tasks from specific projects

    Our goal is to keep the execution feeling of a single, prioritized task list. You’ll still be able to work from one main list and decide what to focus on today, but filtering will make it easier to see the context you need.

    2. Estimated time per task

    Yes, we’re also planning to add an optional time estimate field for tasks. This should serve two main purposes:

    • Time budgeting – setting a limit so you don’t spend more time than intended, for example on research or lower-priority tasks.

    • Reflection & evaluation – comparing your original estimate with the actual time spent, so you can better understand which tasks took longer than expected.

    Would this approach work for you? Thanks!
