Task Coach: Desktop Task Manager

If you are looking for some task list manager to organize your daily tasks, check out Task Coach, a desktop app with some nice features. You can have tasks, sub tasks and organize them in categories.

While adding tasks you can add name, description for the task and associate a color with it for easy color coding. A task can have dates, a start date, an end date and a completion date. You can also setup a reminder for the task. If the task a routine then you can set it up as a recurrence task. A task can have a budget, here you can add the rate at which you will charge for the task if it is a client work. Based on the time you spent on the task it will update the revenue generated, this way you can use it as a time tracking application for every task. If you wish you could also add attachments to the task.

The effort menu will allow you to create efforts, once you create and start tracking effort you can see how much time you spent on a specified task. Along with effort and budget options will allow you to charge for client work.

Another feature is that you can increase or decrease the priority of any task if you are working on several on the same day.
