A task manager for Windows that stays out of your way.

Capture a task in a sentence, give it a priority and a date, and let the smart lists show what needs attention today.

What it is

What the Minmento task manager does

Minmento's task manager is built around one simple unit, the task, with a title, notes, list, priority, due date and time, tags, subtasks, comments and reminders. Lists group tasks by project, folders group lists, and smart lists answer the question "what should I do now?".

Capture

Type a sentence, get a task

Press Ctrl + Space from any window to open Quick Capture. The natural-language parser reads English dates, times, priorities and tags and shows what it detected before you save.

  • "Send the invoice to Acme tomorrow 10am P1 #finance" becomes a P1 task due tomorrow at 10:00, tagged #finance
  • Works from the Add a task field at the top of any list too
  • Saves into your Inbox so nothing is lost mid-conversation

Quick Capture parsing a sentence

Organize

Lists, folders, tags and smart lists

Use lists for projects, folders for areas of your life, and tags for themes that cut across both. Today, Tomorrow, Next 7 Days, Inbox and High Priority are always one click away.

  • Four priority levels with colours you can scan: P1 red, P2 orange, P3 blue, P4 grey
  • Each tag is its own filter in the sidebar
  • Completed and Trash keep a record and a safety net

One drawer for everything about a task

Click any task to open the drawer. Edit the priority, due date, estimated duration and progress, add subtasks, tags, notes, comments and attachments, without leaving the list.

  • Ticking subtasks updates the progress bar, and the parent completes with the last one
  • Repeat rules: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly
  • Reminders trigger Windows notifications
Why it worksCapture is cheap, detail is optional

A task can be just a title. Add notes, subtasks, tags and a reminder later, in the drawer, when the task has earned the effort.

Why it worksSmart lists beat filing

Today, Tomorrow, Next 7 Days and High Priority show what needs attention without you sorting anything into folders first.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does Minmento support recurring tasks?
Yes. Pick a repeat rule in the task drawer: daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
Can I add reminders?
Yes. You can add reminders to a task in the drawer, and Minmento sends a Windows notification at the time you choose while the app is running in the tray.
What is the difference between lists and tags?
Lists model projects and belong to one place. Tags cut across lists, so clicking #calls in the sidebar shows every call task from Work, Personal and Inbox in one view.
Can I delete a task by accident and get it back?
Deleted tasks go to Trash first, so you can restore them from the sidebar.
