Tasks on iOS

These features are available to all users


You can create, delete, and duplicate tasks from the MeisterTask iOS app. Business and Enterprise users can also schedule tasks on their Timeline


Create a Task 

To create a task directly from your MeisterTask app: 

 

  1. Open a project by navigating to the Projects tab (tap the rocket icon at the bottom of your screen).
  2. Swipe left or right to choose a section for your new task.
  3. Tap the blue plus at the bottom of your screen.
  4. Fill in the task information and tap Add.

Search for Tasks, Projects and Notes

Tap the search button in the top-left corner of your screen to search across your account. Results include tasks, projects and notes, grouped by type.

Filter Your Results by Task Status

When you filter your results to Tasks, additional status filters appear: Active, Archived and Deleted. You can select more than one at a time, for example to see active and archived tasks together.

Filtering to Archived or Deleted is how you reach tasks that no longer appear on your project board.

Available on Pro and above

The Active, Archived and Deleted filters — and therefore access to archived and deleted tasks from search — require a Pro plan or higher. On the free plan, tapping these filters shows an upgrade prompt.

Search While You're Offline

If your device is offline or a search request fails, the app searches the content stored on your device instead. Offline search covers:

  • Tasks — matched on title, checklist, tags, task notes and assignee, with both full and partial matches
  • Projects — matched on project name and project notes
  • Notes — matched on the note title only

Offline search only covers content already stored on your device, so some results may be missing until your connection is restored.


Delete or Restore a Task

To delete a task:

 

  1. Open the task you want to delete.
     

    Tip

    Tap the search button in the top-left corner of your screen to search your tasks, projects and notes, and filter to Tasks to find the one you need.

  2. Tap the ellipsis (...) in the bottom-right corner.
  3. Tap Delete Task.

To restore a task:

 

  1. Tap the Search icon in the top bar, search for your deleted task, then filter to Tasks and select the Deleted status filter.
  2. Tap the task once it appears.
  3. Tap Restore Task at the bottom of your screen.

Restoring deleted tasks requires Pro or above

Because deleted tasks are found through the Deleted status filter, restoring a task from the iOS app is available on Pro plans and higher.


Move a Task

You can drag and drop individual tasks tiles to move them across your project board. To move a task to another project, drag it into the "Move to Project..." square at the bottom of your screen.

  2. Tap the ellipsis (...) in the bottom-right corner.
  3. Tap Duplicate Task. Your duplicated task will appear directly below the original.

Schedule a Task on Your Timeline

This feature is available to Business users

Enable Timeline 

Before you can begin scheduling on the iOS app, you'll need to enable Timeline using MeisterTask's web app. Learn how here.

To schedule a task and add it to your Timeline:

 

  1. Open a task, scroll down and tap Not Scheduled.
  2. Pick a start and end date for your project. The end date does not have to be the same as your due date! 
  3. Tap Back. The dates will save automatically. 
     
Remember!

You cannot view your Timeline on the mobile app. Scheduling a task from the mobile app means it will become visible on your web app Timeline view.
