The ‘Accept’ and ‘Cancel’ buttons are now always visible, making task scheduling more intuitive.

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?

Hello everyone!

It’s Denis again, CEO & Founder of UTasks.

I know you’re probably expecting another update on our plans and releases, but today I’d like to switch things up and introduce you to our incredible team

I’ll skip the poetic flourishes and dive straight into what I excel at - impassioned satire!

You’ve already been introduced to our Frontend developer Alex, and our DevOps engineer Konstantin. Now, international diplomacy is working behind the scenes to bring our Chief technical officer, QA-engineer and BDM into the spotlight 🤫

One is intensely serious, another is wonderfully sentimental, and the third radiates aristocratic elegance, always choosing a bow over a tie.


So, who would you like to meet first? Cast your vote - your opinion is invaluable to us!

Hello, friends!

Recently, we’ve received an increasing number of questions about how to purchase a PRO-plan for your team.

So, here’s what you need to know:

1⃣ Please be aware that legal entities can still purchase a team subscription via bank transfer.

2⃣ To make it easier for you, we’ve added the option to buy a team subscription or gift a subscription directly from the application.

For detailed instructions please refer to this guide.

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!

In the #TEAM section, we are excited to introduce you to the QA-engineer of UTasks - a man of such refined elegance that we barely convinced him to trade his bow tie for a more casual look and switch from Latin to English!

Meet Denis, our dedicated UTasks' tester.

Here’s how Denis himself describes the role of testers:

To paraphrase Anthony Ashley-Cooper Shaftesbury, testers are people who are passionately in love with perfection. They see vibrant potential where others only hear the rustling of a well-written, but seemingly mundane, test case.

We thought this milestone would come by Christmas, so we could hardly believe our eyes when it happened early! In all the excitement, we even forgot to post about it yesterday 😂

But the numbers don’t lie: it’s October, and there are already 50K of us here!

Congratulations to everyone - let’s keep going strong! 🎉

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! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Hello, everyone!

Today, let’s tackle the question:
HOW TO BUY PRO-PLAN USING TELEGRAM STARS?


According to Telegram’s policy, all digital goods and services within the Telegram's ecosystem are purchased exclusively with Telegram Stars.

Telegram Stars (Stars) are Telegram's internal currency.

Three ways to purchase Telegram Stars for your PRO-plan:

1⃣ Directly through the UTasks. Even if your Stars balance is zero, Stars will be purchased and applied to your subscription simultaneously. This process works just like a standard purchase from the Apple or Google store, charging the payment method linked to your Apple or Google account.

2⃣ Purchase Stars in advance through @PremiumBot.
Once purchased, you can use these Stars in the UTasks to pay for PRO-plan.

3⃣ Purchase Stars in advance on the Fragment auction platform. After purchasing on Fragment, use these Stars to pay for PRO in the UTasks bot.

This same process applies if you're buying PRO for a team.

⚡️ Today, you may have experienced issues accessing UTasks

Hello, friends!

A large-scale issue in Russia is affecting many services that use Cloudflare’s ECH encryption protocol. According to experts, Roskomnadzor is actively blocking traffic encrypted this way.

We responded quickly, switching to an alternative encryption protocol, and the issue has now been resolved.

Hello, friends!

Today in our #FAQ section, we’re tackling one of the most frequently asked questions:

DOES UTASKS WORK IN GROUPS WITH TOPICS?


The short answer: NO.

Here’s why:

Lack of Topic Information: When added to a group, the bot doesn’t receive any data from Telegram’s API about existing topics within that group.

Limitations on Workarounds: While the bot can receive information about newly created topics, even if users attempt to recreate or clear them, these events may not register due to occasional Telegram API glitches. This leaves users manually recreating topics, costing time and message history.

Risk of Task Loss: In the worst-case scenario, the bot can lose its connection with topics, which may result in lost tasks. Fixing this manually isn’t practical, especially at scale.

To sum it up, we explored various workarounds, but every time we encountered the same issue:

GROUPS WITH TOPICS ARE UNDERDEVELOPED ON TELEGRAM’S API SIDE, LACKING THE STABILITY NEEDED FOR RELIABLE TASK MANAGEMENT.

This is one of the few cases where Telegram’s tools fall short for our needs. We’re hopeful that future API updates will allow us to deliver a reliable service for topic-enabled groups!
