In this presentation I shared how I use the robust task management app GoodTask to organize my Apple Reminders and Calendar events. I highlighted key features of GoodTask including customizable task views, deep Reminders integration, and powerful options to tailor the interface and task parameters to each user’s preferences. I also explained key benefits I’ve noticed like improved task visibility leading to increased productivity. The presentation led to an engaging Q&A where attendees asked excellent questions about cross-device task management that showcased GoodTask’s extensive capabilities, many of which I’m still working to leverage in my own workflows. While I couldn’t answer every question given the app’s vast customization and functions, it was a worthwhile discussion into how GoodTask enriches task tracking across Apple devices. I hope you find it helpful!
