Lists and tasks

Askare opens on a list of tasks. Swipe left from it to reach the Lists page, which chooses what that list holds.

The views

Above the task lists of the server sit three views that read across all of them:

  • All - every task, completed ones last
  • Current - what is open and either due today or earlier, or carries no due date at all
  • Important - tasks with high priority
  • Completed - everything that is done

Below them stand the task lists the server keeps, each with the colour you gave it in Nextcloud and the number of tasks still open in it. Choosing one narrows the task list to it.

All and the view of one list count a subtask behind its parent; Current and Completed lay every task out flat, so a subtask due today is not hidden under a parent that is not.

Show completed tasks, on the settings page, decides whether All and the view of one list keep finished tasks in sight. It is on to begin with. Turning it off leaves only open tasks there; the Completed view still shows them all.

The task list

Tasks are grouped under To do and Completed. Within a group, dated tasks come first in order of their date and undated ones trail. A row shows the title, the due date and time if the task has one, and how many of its subtasks are done. In the views that mix lists, a coloured bar on the left says which list a task belongs to.

Tap the switch on a row to mark a task done or open again. Tap the rest of the row to open the task. Press and hold for Mark done and Delete; deleting a task with subtasks says how many tasks will go.

The pulley menu offers Sync and New task. A new task started here lands in the list currently shown, or can be moved to another one in the editor.

On the Lists page the pulley menu leads to About, Settings and Sync. About shows the version, donations, translations, and the licence.

The cover

The cover shows the name of the current view and the first of its tasks, struck through once they are done. Its two actions add a task and sync. When nobody is signed in it says so instead.
