📄 PROJECT AREAS

Hey everyone!

We’ve been getting a lot of requests for the bot to work in groups with topics. We gave it our best shot, but unfortunately, we couldn't crack it.

It’s one of those rare situations where Telegram’s API just doesn’t provide enough functionality. When the bot is added to a group with topics, we can’t access the list of existing topics. We spent a week trying different solutions, but no luck. However, we did manage to make something else work!

⚡️ We’ve expanded the functionality of Areas!

Until now, Areas were essentially folders for projects, allowing you to group multiple projects under one name and collapse them together. Super handy when you’ve got lots of projects on the same theme.

With this update, Areas have become more than just folders - they’re now global projects containing other projects as subprojects.

📦 Just click on the name of the Area, and you’ll enter a new view where the Area itself is treated like a project, and the included projects become subprojects!

You asked for subproject functionality, and here it is - just in a slightly different form. Instead of adding subprojects directly to projects, we’ve turned existing projects into subprojects within Areas.

We hope that makes sense! 😂

As always, it’s better to try it out yourself than to just read about it. Create an Area, add your projects, and check it out in action!

Hey everyone!

We’ve received this question several times, phrased in different ways:

HOW DO I LAUNCH UTASKS?

So, we decided to cover it in this post ⬇ and added it to our FAQ in the documentation.

1⃣In the bot chat simply tap TASKS at the bottom left. This will take you to the main page of the mini-application.

2⃣Open any chat room with a bot and click TASKS. You’ll see the task list for that specific project. Press BACK to return to the app’s main page.

3⃣Tap on a task in any notification. You’ll go straight to the specific task. Press BACK to view the task list, then press BACK again to reach the main page.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask—we’re happy to provide quick, clear answers!

Hey everyone!

✔️Great news - UTasks documentation is now ready!

As we were writing it, we finally figured out how everything works ourselves, and now we’re eager to share it with you.

Think of it as a perfect melodrama: straightforward and to the point. There’s a task, there’s an executor, and the question remains - will they find happiness before the deadline?

For now, it’s available in Russian, so feel free to take a look and let us know what could be improved. We’ll definitely consider your feedback when preparing the English version.

Hey, friends!

This is Denis, CEO & Founder of UTasks.

I'm excited to share with you our ambitious plans for the future development of UTasks.
#NEWS

These plans, in fact, have been significantly shaped by your discussions about new features and existing functional gaps in the chat. Why? Because, first, I have a strong sense of empathy, and second, I’m a perfectionist.

Broadly speaking, there are two main task areas in UTasks' backlog: the mobile app and the web app.

Now, let me get into the details!
By the end of the year, we aim to complete the core functionality of the mobile app. Here's what we're working on:

1⃣ A redesigned task card with additional fields for Priority, Task Status, and Labels.
2⃣ An updated calendar and customizable notifications - features that many of you have requested in chat!
3⃣ Filters and sorting. You’ll be able to remove existing default filters (All, Author, Assignee) and create custom ones.

For example, you’ll be able to view All tasks assigned to Peter with the status ‘In Progress,’ or All tasks in project ‘X’ labeled ‘Design,’ and so on.

Within each filter, you will also be able to adjust the sorting. Currently, sorting is preset and hardcoded, but with this update, you’ll be able to sort dynamically—by due date, executor, or deadline—all in real time.

➡ At the start of next year, we’ll shift our focus to developing a full-fledged web application. That’s where we’ll really spread our wings, no longer constrained by a mobile screen. Expect to see boards, advanced task lists and much more.

I usually prefer not to reveal our plans, as they sometimes feel jinxed when spoken aloud. But besides reflecting on our achievements each month and quarter, it's also crucial to set the pace — this is one of the greatest sources of motivation for the UTasks team.

What do you think?

Hi everyone!
We came across an interesting question in the chat:

How are the notification settings in your profile and in each chat’s settings connected?

We decided to clarify this separately, as it can be a bit confusing.

In UTasks, there are two distinct notification settings: one for the “INBOX” project and another for GROUP projects.

It’s important not to mix them up!

🔵 To configure notifications for your “INBOX” project, head to your User Profile ➡ Settings ➡ Inbox Notifications.

🔵 For GROUP PROJECTS, click the gear icon ⚙ next to the project name ➡ Project Settings ➡ Collaborative Event Notifications or Personal Notifications.

And yes, we haven’t forgotten your request for customizable notification timing - it’s on our list!

Hello everyone!
Have you opened UTasks and noticed something different? That's right!

In celebration of reaching 50,000 users, we’ve rolled out a BIG UPDATE!
#UPDATES

This release is packed with new features - too much to cover in just one post!

⚡️ The highlight: a REDESIGNED TASK CARD! It may look a bit unfamiliar at first, but the task creation screen is now even more functional.

Here’s what’s new:
1⃣ Set Task Priority.
This feature is available for PRO-users;

2⃣ Manage Task Statuses.
PRO-users now have access to 5 statuses: New, To Do, In Progress, In review, and Closed. On the FREE plan you’ll have New and Closed only.

3⃣ Task Numbers.
Each task now gets a unique number in the upper right corner after creation, so you can refer to tasks by their numbers instead of names.

Stay tuned for our next post with full release details and bug fixes! Meanwhile, drop your thoughts in the comments—we’d love to hear your feedback! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
