Welcome to the UTasks blog!

We've had a lot of new subscribers join us the last couple days. Thank you for stopping by, now we will briefly explain where you got to😉

In this channel we talk about the development of our service:

✅ UTasks - the first task manager integrated into Telegram.
Simple, convenient and secure.

With our service you can set tasks and appointments right inside Telegram chats! Add a bot to any group chat and you can set tasks for its members. You to them, and they to you.

On the basis of a group chat, a joint project is created where group members can set tasks and appointments for each other. Notifications come at the right moment, there is a display inside the application and in the chat itself.

In addition to joint projects there are personal task lists, all in one place! Tasks can be easily moved from personal projects to collaborative projects and back again.

The app has a native GUI and is available in 3 languages: Russian, English and Spanish.

We are just starting our journey and are open to any suggestions and ideas. Share in the comments what you like about our app and what needs to be improved?

Sincerely yours,
UTasks Team.

➡️Creating a task by forwarding a message to the bot.
#newfeature

Hi everyone!
I'm Denis, the founder of UTasks 👋

Today I'm going to show a new feature that many of you have been asking for and waiting for.

Now you can forward any message to the bot and based on it a task will be created in the "Inbox" folder.

Soon you'll be able to edit it, put a date on it, change the project, add contractors, etc.

You ask, we do!
Try it. And don't forget to give feedback in the comments😉

📩 Hi friends. We are continuously working on improving UTasks and enhancing its functionality.

Your feedback is important for us to make the app as useful as possible, and most importantly understandable. That's why we are opening a new section "Frequently Asked Questions"
#FAQ

📌 Ask questions in the comments to this post, and we'll answer them in detail. Shall we get started?

- What tasks do I see on my list?
You see only your tasks, in which you are the author or assignee.

- Can I see the tasks of my colleagues in the project? I need it to control the project.
Not at the moment. As we wrote above, now the logic is made so that the user sees only his tasks. But!
We have received a huge number of requests on this topic and we hasten to inform you:

In one of the nearest releases we will release a modification that will allow you to see all tasks of the project participants, if you are an administrator or ouner of the group on the basis of which the project is made. A flexible customization that will allow those who need it to see all project tasks if needed.

Going from words to action so you can go to the task directly from the notification!

Now in any notification, the name of the task is a clickable link that you can open the task in the app immediately. Convenient? We like it too😉

👋🏻 Hello, dear users.
Denis, UTasks founder, speaking.

Today, I would like to personally tell about the most drastic change in the history of the app that we had to make. Now, no need to worry, there will be good news at the end! 😉

As you may know, all users currently start with the free plan, and we try to non-invasively motivate our users to get the PRO subscription.

We've decided to shift the paradigm.

🚪 Starting next release, all users will be able to use the app to its fullest, all features included, with the PRO Trial plan!

⭐️ PRO Trial plan will give the opportunity to comfortably evaluate everything UTasks has to offer - free of charge - for 5 days. At the end, a choice will be given:

1️⃣ Pay for a monthly or yearly subscription and continue using every feature the app has to offer, both personally and collaboratively in group projects;

2️⃣ Agree to additional restrictions of the free plan, it will only be possible to create private tasks.

Current free plan users - here's the good news - you too will get the PRO Trial and will be able to enjoy UTasks to its fullest!

React with 🔥, if you want me to reveal our true motives! When we reach 10 fire reactions under this post, I'm going to tell you exactly why we've decided to change the approach.

Task Manager | Support | Chat

✈️ Why have we changed the original approach?

Hello, dear users, it's me, Denis. And I continue to share with you what's going on behind the scenes of our project.

The last post has accumulated 10🔥, so, as promised, I'm telling you about our true motives - why we changed the original approach and decided to give everyone a chance to try the PRO plan for free.

➡️ It's actually very simple:
it is so that you could easily make a rational and informed decision on whether to get the PRO plan or not, by personally trying everything UTasks has to offer for personal and group projects.

I believe there is just no other way. Practice supersedes any theory. No amount of videos about driving a Porsche 911 will give a real understanding of how one actually drives - only driving one yourself can help to decide if the asking price is justified.

📈 I fully believe that this approach, in the end, will bring us more involved users.

Now, let's get to using the app, while we get to work on perfecting it and adding more exciting and useful features that you have requested!

🆕 Creating tasks without opening the app.

Hello, dear users!
Long-awaited PRO Trial has finally been released, and with it - a lot of bugfixes and a new small feature. Here's some more info:

ℹ️Now there's no need to open the app to create a task: one only needs to send any message to the bot - and the bot will offer to create a task from the message contents. Upon confirmation, a corresponding task will be created and sent to «Inbox».

So convenient! Especially when there's a need to quickly write something down for later.

➡️And don't forget - you can also forward text messages to the bot to create tasks, too! Such tasks will also appear in «Inbox».

Happy tasking, and feel free to share your opinions on our new PRO Trial in the comments! 🤗

💰 How much is our subscription?

Hi, everyone! Today I'm answering a vital and popular question: «So, how much does the subscription cost?».

Base pricing of our PRO plan is as follows:

🔘249 RUB per month (~$2.70);
🔘2190 RUB per year (~$23.67).

But there's a way to get it cheaper! When subscribing during the 5-day trial period, the pricing is:

◾️219 RUB per month (~$2.37);
◾️1970 RUB per year (~$21.30)!

The end of the trial period means the prices go back to base. So, be sure to get PRO with the discount during your PRO Trial 😎

By the way, as a reminder, we offer special pricing for legal entities when buying 5+ subscriptions at once. We've already mentioned this here.

6 ways to create a task.
#tutorial

Hi everyone!
Start of the week — a good excuse to launch a tutorial series on UTasks basics. Let's start with creating tasks. The app gives you 6 ways of doing this, so than anyone could choose the most convenient one for themselves 😉

1️⃣ Message forwarding.
Starting with the least trivial way that has only recently been added, but it's mega-convenient!
One only needs to forward any text message to the bot, and it will provide an option to create a task based on the message.

2️⃣ Write a message directly to the bot.
Similar to the first way, Похож на первый способ, вместо пересылки сообщения можно написать сообщение в личном чате с ботом и он предложит на основе него создать задачу во «Входящие».

3️⃣ From the app homepage, via the «Create task» widget.
There's a widget on the app homepage for quickly creating tasks. Just input a title for a task, and optionally choose a date, project, and assignees. Then simply tap on the blue button with an arrow to create a task.

4️⃣ From the app homepage, via the "+" button in the lower right corner.
There's a "+" button in the lower right corner of the homepage. Pressing on it will reveal a small menu. The topmost option - «New task» - is what we need. Tap on it, and a full-screen page will be opened. Here, you can thoroughly fill out every field a task can contain. This allows for thoughtful task creation without distractions.

5️⃣ From the project page, via the «Create task» widget.
The «Create task» widget is also placed on every project pages, as well as dynamic block pages - All, Inbox, Today, Tomorrow, Next 7 days. The widget allows to quickly create a task from almost any page in the app.

6️⃣ From the project page, via the "+" button in the lower right corner.
Similarly, on all project and dynamic block pages, there's a "+" button in the lower right corner. It's the same as on the homepage, but instead of revealing a menu, it task you directly to the full-screen task creation page.

Got any questions? Let's chat here or let our support know - we're always ready to help and guide!
