Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Tasks module is your completely private space. Even if you share financial budgets with others, your to-do lists remain visible only to you.
No, and this is by design. We consciously separate "Events" (meetings tied to a specific hour) from "Tasks" (actions to be completed). This keeps your task list clean and focused.
Yes! You can attach up to 10 photos or images to each task. This is perfect for saving receipts, visual references, or quick sketches.
No. We believe in absolute user control. AI parsing often makes mistakes with dates, leading to missed deadlines and stress. You manually, but quickly, set the exact date you need.
We consciously avoided stopwatches (time trackers) as they create unnecessary stress. However, we have a built-in task audit feature: you can always review your history of completed tasks in the Closed list, which serves as a reliable analytical report of your productivity.

- Taskito vs Small Metrics Tasks Comparisonblue_dollar_logic
I completely understand why you feel this way, and it is very brave of you to share that. I feel the same struggle as Dr_Tariq_Med when it comes to switching between tasks. To handle this, I suggest a simple plan. First, we organize social work and family time into clear blocks. Second, we follow these blocks strictly to stop that Buenos Aires chaos from taking over. This works because a clear system is like a safe wall against stress. Sometimes I worry that my own rules are too stiff or that I only do this to stop my anxiety. I wonder if any of you feel the same need for this kind of control.

The promise of regaining control through a polished interface is a seductive lie. I once spent weeks building a productivity system with the precision of a Swiss watch, believing that a flawless structure would somehow erase my anxiety and financial chaos. In reality, it was merely an American sandwich, consisting of beautiful layers of organization with absolutely nothing of substance inside. I found myself managing the tool rather than performing the actual work. Is it not curious how we mistake the map for the territory? No application can repair a broken foundation, as it only serves to mask the void.
