Managing Tasks in TaskTab

Learn how to add, complete, reorder, edit, delete, import, and export tasks in TaskTab.

Adding Tasks

There are two ways to add tasks:

From the menu bar dropdown -- Click the TaskTab menu bar icon to open the dropdown. Type a task name into the text field at the top and press Return. The task is added immediately to your pending list.

From the Manage Tasks window -- Click the Manage Tasks button (accessible from the welcome screen or the menu bar dropdown). In this window, click the Add Task button in the top-right corner, then type your task name.

Completing Tasks

To mark a task as done, click on it in the menu bar dropdown. A strikethrough appears and the task moves to the completed section of the list.

If you click a completed task, it moves back to the pending list.

Reordering Tasks

In the Manage Tasks window, drag a task using the handle on its right side to move it up or down the list. You can also right-click a task and choose to move it up or down.

Editing and Deleting Tasks

To rename a task, double-click it in the Manage Tasks window. You can also right-click a task to see options for renaming, repositioning, or removing it.

To delete a task, select it in the Manage Tasks window and click the Remove Task button. You can also right-click and choose Remove. Deleting a task cannot be undone.

Importing and Exporting Tasks

Click the More option in the menu bar dropdown to find Import and Export.

  • Import -- Paste a list of tasks directly into the import window, or select a .txt file from your Mac.
  • Export -- Save your current task list as a .txt file to any location on your Mac.
