New Evernote Tasks experience—something for every workflow!

Tasks are a powerful productivity tool, so we decided to give them some more space. Product lead Federico Simionato showcases the new full-screen Tasks view which includes multiple tabs and new metadata fields. Now, everyone can organize their to-dos in the way that works best for them.

Absolutely love the new task feature. I finally cancelled my Todist and move back to Evernote. My only suggestion that I find missing is a "snooze" feature like all the to-do apps. So often a task alert pops up but you're on a call or in a meeting and you need to snooze for an hour, 3 hours, custom, whatever. Would really help out. But in the meantime love the new tasks.

Amazing new features! Congrats, guys!

As crazy as it may sound, Tasks has brought me back to Evernote. The “recurring from completion” is the feature I use a lot and what has kept me using Toodledo as my task manager. Now I can integrate my tasks into Evernote and use the calendar for my productivity hub with generating notes from calendar events. Love the updates.

That's great ! Now you need to link the tasks to Evernote Calendar so we can time block according to the tasks we need to do !

It would be nice to have a Start Date in addition to Due Date, so that a task does not have to be due today to be visible in Today

Please put tags option in search option! Tag is crutial in evernote and in tasks too.

These are very usable and practical updates! Different topic- I am a longtime Evernote user and am confused as to why you would make the changes you did to Scannable? With the update, I cannot 'Send' or 'Save'. It only 'Saves' and took away the option of what Notebook I can save the document in? Why are you reducing the efficiency of this app? This was a huge part of how I am able to Capture information.

You’re doing a great job with EN, getting better each week. Adding tags to task would be great. And the possibility to add widgets for tagged tasks in the startscreen.

[JavierCasillas]

Love everything you guys are doing! Thank you.

Would LOVE to see tags exposed as metadata within a task so additional flexibility with task management is available. Tags are a great way for a user to customize their workflow and add additional clarity to to their task management actions.

APIs. Tasks in Evernote still lack APIs. This means no way to synchronize with task aggregators like Akiflow, for instance, or Zapier or anything else. A huge thing for power users.

Great work with the full window view. I would love a Kanban-like view too.

[jayminybee]

I appreciate all of the work on Tasks!... I really depend on this functionality in Evernote. One request please (which I've submitted on the site as well)... can you please make it so we can open Tasks in its own window???? We have "Open in new window" available for every note; I'd really like to have my Tasks open in another window at all times so I can keep it visible while I work. Thanks again!

[AmyHeathCarpentier]

I'll just echo others - TERRIFIC new feature! Well explained and organized tutorial as well. THANK YOU.

Great to see the improvements ... thank's for sharing. I like the direction it goes with task management in Evernote. 👍

[mxim]

Happy to see Evernote finally strikes back after years of no changes and improvements . I think all recent changes are definitely the right vector. I decided to give EN another chance and switching back from todoist. Thank you and really hope you will continue to do what you did last few months!

[reiniervanderhoek]

Great overview of you’re tasks. Three things for improvements: Additional to task per notebook also filter on specific notebook. Also the same, but then with tags(I use tags as projects and context, and third: If you filter notelist and go to task and back to notelist, the notelist filter has been reset. These thing will truly help managing my tasks.

[omerozkan]

Tag is crucial and critical in TASKS too, please make it a top priority

[sushimaster]

Wow and that is what you call a warm up wonder what the running is going to add to Evernote. All these features is essential. Thank you.
