Every feature. Every switch.

TaskSpark has forty-one features across nine areas. Almost every one can be turned off. Start minimal, add only what helps you finish. Three are new in V4 — Lists, Stats, and a redesigned Focus mode.

How to read these tags

Every feature below carries a small label. Here's what each one means.

core
Always on. The bones of the app, you can't turn these off because everything else depends on them.
view
A way of looking at your tasks (list, kanban, calendar, day view). Pick the ones you like, hide the rest.
toggle
Optional behaviour you can flip on or off in Settings. Off by default if it could feel noisy.
power
Advanced options for people who want them. Safely ignorable if you don't.
early
Working but still rough around the edges. Feedback welcome through contact.
v4
New in version 4. Recently shipped — likely to keep evolving for a release or two as feedback comes in.

Task organization

11 features
01
Task list
The main view. Titles, descriptions, priorities, due dates — edit inline or open the full task panel.
core
02
Status & completion
Every task carries a status. Check it off and TaskSpark logs the completion for stats and reviews.
core
03
Tags
Colour-coded labels for context switching. Filter by tag from any view — great for separating work, personal, or context like @computer.
toggle
04
Task status
More than just done/not done — Backlog, In progress, Blocked, Done. Shows the real shape of your workload.
toggle
05
Subtasks
Break big tasks into smaller checkboxes nested under the parent. Completion rolls up automatically.
toggle
06
Recurring tasks
Set a recurrence schedule. When you complete one, TaskSpark offers to spawn the next occurrence automatically.
toggle
07
Due date
Give any task a deadline. Overdue items pull forward; "Due Today" and "Overdue" filters keep them honest.
toggle
08
Due time
Add a specific time of day on top of the due date. Useful for meetings-as-tasks or morning-only errands.
toggle
09
Attachments
Link out to docs, files, or URLs from any task. One click from the task card to the resource.
toggle
10
Kanban view
Visual drag-and-drop board by status column. Flip between list and board without changing your data.
view
11
Lists
Kanban-style boards for the things that aren't really tasks — shopping, reading queue, side-project ideas. Drag, reorder, archive. Lives alongside your tasks but doesn't clutter them.

Focus & productivity

6 features
12
What Now? button
One button. Picks the best single task to do next based on priority, due date, and your current mood. A quiet way to stop staring at your list.
toggle
13
Focus mode (redesigned)
An in-window overlay that dims everything but the task you're on. No separate floating window any more — the focus state lives where you're already looking. Esc to exit.
v4
14
Energy level
Tag tasks as High, Medium, or Low energy. On sluggish days, What Now? surfaces the lighter ones so you still make progress.
toggle
15
Daily mood check-in
Log how you're feeling — Not great / Okay / Good. Influences What Now? and the shape of your day. Resets daily.
toggle
18
Completion dialog
When you check a task off, an optional prompt captures impact, outcome, and a link to the deliverable. Skippable; never required.
toggle
19
Quick Add
Dump a task in with minimal typing — title only, no modal. Perfect for capturing something before it vanishes.
toggle
03 · Pace

Time & wellbeing

5 features
18
Break reminders
Configurable intervals, gentle chime, dismissible. Default 30 minutes of focus, 5 minutes of break.
toggle
19
Streak tracker
Counts consecutive days of progress. One grace day per streak built in; Vacation Mode pauses it cleanly while you're away.
toggle
20
Time estimates
Say how long you think a task will take. Each card shows actual vs estimate as you work, so calibration compounds.
toggle
21
Task timer
Hit play on any task. Floating window bottom-right on desktop, panel on the web. Logs time automatically.
toggle
22
Budget tracking
Log income and expenses against a task or standalone. Simple totals, no accounting-software pretensions.

Calendar view
Month grid with tasks and events. Up to five chips per cell before they roll into a "+3 more" count.

Day view
Everything for one day on one screen — timed events, all-day items, due tasks, habits. Great for planning a morning.
view
25
All-day events
Events with start and end dates, rendered cleanly across ranges — holidays, conference weeks, travel.
view
26
Calendar event tags
A separate tag system for events, with its own colour palette. Keeps task tags and event tags from bleeding into each other.
view
27

Stats dashboard
Throughput, current streak, completion heatmap, and time-by-tag. A quiet read on how the week actually went — not a leaderboard, not a pep-talk.
