iPhone owners rejoice: Traskpro now has an iPhone specific capture mechanism. The new Quickadd link shows up in large and easily selected thumb-sized text when viewing any Traskpro page on an iPhone. The Quickadd page itself is styled specifically for the iPhone, and is designed to be as lightweight to load as possible.
By reducing the resources and actions required to quickly enter tasks into Traskpro the application as a whole can be more effective. As per the infamous Getting Things Done methodology the more things you can enter into Traskpro the fewer things will be cluttering your brain allowing for more focus to be given to planning and executing on tasks.
Targeted at quick entry on the go Quickadd will automatically offer to tag all tasks created through it with ‘quickadd’ for easy reference and triage later. You can prevent the quickadd tag from being added to your new tasks by deleting the task from the tags field before submitting your task.
A few power user tips:
- Add the Quickadd page to your iPhone’s home screen for quick on-the-go capture
- The next and previous buttons on the iPhone keyboard allow for quicker entry
- To quickly submit a task hit the big blue “Go” button while either the tags or due date fields have focus
- Assign high or low priority to a task on entry by tagging it ‘high’ or ‘low’
Have an idea for how to make the Quickadd feature better? Let me know - leave a comment on this post or send email using the feedback link within the Traskpro application. I’m also mulling about creating iPhone specific task view options, although am planning to wait until after the SDK comes out - depending on the tools availabe it may make the most sense to make a thick client Traskpro application for the iPhone instead.
