Mastering Quick Add: The Fastest Way to Create Tasks in Taskito Web

Work Smarter, Not Harder: Master Taskito Web's Quick Add Feature

Creating tasks shouldn't feel like filling out a form. With Taskito Web's revolutionary Quick Add feature, you can capture complete, fully-detailed tasks in a single line—no clicking through menus, no switching between fields, just pure, uninterrupted productivity.

Whether you're planning your week, capturing a sudden inspiration, or organizing a complex project, Quick Add transforms how you work with tasks. Let's dive into how this powerful feature can save you hours every week.

What is Quick Add?

Quick Add is Taskito Web's intelligent text parsing system that understands how you naturally write about tasks. Simply type everything in one line—the task name, when it's due, what time, how important it is, which project it belongs to—and Taskito automatically organizes all the details for you.

Think of it as having a smart assistant who understands exactly what you mean when you write "Call Mom Sunday 6pm p1 #Family !5mb" and instantly creates a properly formatted task with all the right settings.

Why Quick Add Changes Everything

⚡️ Lightning-Fast Task Entry

No more navigating through multiple menus or tabs. Type one line, hit Enter, and you're done. It's the fastest way to get tasks out of your head and into your system.

⌨️ Stay in Your Flow State

When inspiration strikes or priorities shift, Quick Add lets you capture everything without breaking your concentration. Keep your fingers on the keyboard and your mind on what matters.

🎯 Perfect for Batch Planning

Planning your entire week? Quick Add shines when you need to create multiple tasks quickly. Dump everything from your brain into Taskito in minutes, not hours.

The Complete Quick Add Syntax Guide

Here's everything you need to know to become a Quick Add power user:

📅 Setting Dates

Taskito understands how you naturally talk about dates. No need for rigid date formats:

• Relative dates: tomorrow, today, next week
• Day names: Monday, Tuesday, Saturday
• Specific dates: Dec 25, January 15, 12/25

Example: Finish report Friday — automatically sets the task for this Friday

⏰ Adding Times

Simply mention the time anywhere in your task, just like you would in a text message:

• 2pm or 2:00pm — afternoon meetings
• 9am or 9:00am — morning tasks
• noon or midnight — special times

Example: Team meeting tomorrow 3pm — creates a task with date and time set

🔥 Setting Priority Levels

Instantly mark how important a task is with a simple code:

• p1 — High priority (urgent and important)
• p2 — Medium priority (important but not urgent)
• p3 — Low priority (nice to have)

Example: Submit proposal Friday p1 — marks it as high priority

🏷️ Adding Tags

Use the @ symbol to categorize your tasks. Tags help you find related tasks quickly:

• @home — personal tasks
• @office — work tasks
• @urgent — time-sensitive items
• @email — communication tasks

Pro Tip: As soon as you type @, a dropdown menu appears showing your existing tags for quick selection.

Example: Buy groceries @home @errands — adds both tags to the task

📁 Assigning Projects

Use the # symbol to link tasks to specific projects. This keeps everything organized:

• #Travel — vacation planning
• #Website — development tasks
• #Q1Goals — quarterly objectives

Pro Tip: Type # and start typing to see an autocomplete dropdown with your existing projects.

Example: Book hotel #Travel — automatically assigns to your Travel project

🔔 Setting Reminders

Use the ! symbol to add reminders, and Taskito supports multiple reminder formats:

• !10mb — 10 minutes before the task time
• !1hb — 1 hour before the task time
• !9am — at 9am on the task's due date
• !1h — 1 hour from right now
• !30m — 30 minutes from now

Example: Doctor appointment Tuesday 2pm !1hb — reminds you at 1pm on Tuesday

Putting It All Together: Real-World Examples

The real magic happens when you combine multiple elements into one powerful line:

Example 1: Family Task

Call Mom Sunday 6pm p1 #Family !5mb

Result: A high-priority task to call Mom on Sunday at 6pm, filed under Family project, with a reminder 5 minutes before.

Example 2: Work Project

Review marketing proposal tomorrow 10am p1 #Q1Launch @review !1hb

Result: High-priority task for tomorrow at 10am, assigned to Q1Launch project, tagged for review, with a 1-hour-before reminder.

Example 3: Personal Errand

Pick up prescription @home @health p2 Friday !9am

Result: Medium-priority task for Friday with home and health tags, reminder at 9am.

Example 4: Quick Capture

Research competitors @work #Strategy next week

Result: Task assigned to next week, tagged for work, filed in Strategy project.

Multi-Language Support

Quick Add speaks your language! The smart text parsing currently supports:

• English
• German
• Portuguese (Brazil)
• Japanese
• Korean

The feature understands locale-specific words and date formats in all supported languages, making it truly universal. Please note that using German phrases won't work if your app is set in English language and vice versa.

Pro Tips for Maximum Productivity

1. Pin Taskito in Your Browser

Keep Taskito Web open in a pinned tab for instant access. This creates your personal "Command Center" where you can quickly capture any task without switching contexts.

Bonus: Pinned tabs also ensure you receive browser notifications for your reminders!

2. Create a Daily Planning Ritual

Start each morning by using Quick Add to plan your day. Type out all your tasks in rapid succession:

Morning routine @home 7am
Gym @health 8am p2 !7:45am
Team standup #Work 10am
Lunch with Sarah 1pm @personal
Finish client proposal #ClientWork p1 5pm !2pm

3. Use Consistent Naming Conventions

Develop your own system for tags and projects. For example:

• Use @context for location or energy level (@home, @office, @deep-work)
• Use #project for actual projects and goals
• Combine them for powerful filtering later

4. Leverage the Autocomplete

Don't type everything manually! When you type @ or #, use the dropdown menu to quickly select from existing tags and projects. This keeps your system organized and prevents duplicate tags.

5. Start Simple, Then Expand

If you're new to Quick Add, start by just adding dates. Once comfortable, add times. Then priorities. Build up your muscle memory one element at a time.
