Task Management

Task Management

Tasks are the heart of Taskip. Here’s everything you need to know about creating and managing them effectively.

Creating a Task

There are three ways to create a task:

Keyboard shortcut

Press T anywhere in a project to open the task creation dialog.

Button

Click the + Add Task button at the top of any view.

Command palette

Press Cmd+K → type “Create task” → press Enter.

Task Fields

Priority Levels

Set priority to signal urgency to your team:

• 🔴 Urgent — Drop everything, work on this now
• 🟠 High — Important, get to it today
• 🟡 Medium — Normal workflow (default)
• 🔵 Low — Do it when you have bandwidth
• ⚪ None — No priority set

Due Dates

Click the calendar icon on any task to set a due date. Tasks with overdue dates turn red in all views.

Tip

Use the natural language input — type “next Friday” or “in 3 days” and Taskip will parse the date automatically.

Assignees

A task can be assigned to one or more members. The primary assignee is responsible; secondary assignees are collaborators.

Labels

Labels are custom colored tags you create per-workspace. Use them to cross-filter tasks across projects (e.g., bug, design, backend).

Subtasks

Break big tasks into smaller steps with subtasks:

1. Open a task and scroll to the Subtasks section
2. Click + Add Subtask
3. Each subtask has its own assignee, due date, and status
4. The parent task shows a progress indicator (e.g. 3/5 complete)

Recurring Tasks

Set a task to repeat automatically:

1. Open a task → click Recurrence
2. Choose a schedule: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Custom
3. When a recurring task is completed, a new copy is created with the next due date

Bulk Actions

Select multiple tasks by holding Shift and clicking. The bulk action bar appears at the bottom — use it to reassign, re-prioritize, move, or delete multiple tasks at once.
