Creating a Task

What it does

Create a new task from anywhere in the app; either from the Task list or via the Add button in the bottom navigation. Every task starts with a title; all other details are optional and can be filled in immediately or later.

How to use it

  1. Tap the Add button (+) in the bottom tab bar, or, from the Tasks screen, tap the add icon in the top-right corner.
  2. The Create Task screen opens.
  3. Type your task Title in the text field at the top. The title is the only required field.
  4. Optionally fill in any task sections below (Timeline, Priority, Description, Checklist, Attachments, Reminders, and so on). Each section is collapsible, tap a section header to expand it.
  5. Tap Save to create the task. It appears in your task list immediately.

Task sections available on creation

All sections visible when creating a task:

  • Basic Info: title, tags, start date, and due date (shown in the header area).
  • Timeline: Start Date, Due Date, and Deadline Time.
  • Priority: High, Medium, or Low.
  • Add People: assign the task to yourself or others.
  • Description: freeform rich-text body with AI generation.
  • Checklist: a sub-list of steps with its own rich-text editor.
  • Attachments: link emails, notes, calendar events, or upload files.
  • Reminders: notification triggers before the due date.
  • Location: attach a place to the task.
  • Time Required: estimated duration (AI-assisted).
  • Tags: keyword labels (AI-suggested).
  • Colour: a visual colour label for the task card.
  • History: change log (only meaningful after the task exists).

Note: Task Group, Add Meeting, and Recurring tasks are not yet available; those sections are reserved for a future release.

Tips & shortcuts

  • You can create a task with just a title and fill in everything else later; open the task from your list and edit any section.
  • Tasks can also be created by Warp: say "Create a task to review the budget by Friday" and Warp handles the rest.
