Right now, recurring tasks do not have a due date. This is incorrect, since recurring tasks actually have multiple due dates , the most important of which is the earliest one that isn't marked done. Because Morgen ignores the upcoming date on recurring tasks, it fails to prioritize and visualize these recurring tasks effectively. This leads to missing important task deadlines, which is a serious flaw. Examples: I have a quarterly "File state quarterly taxes" task. It is scheduled for the first business day of every quarter. If I do not check it off, Morgen blithely ignores it and my state taxes are late. I have a bi-weekly "Send invoices" task. It is scheduled every two weeks, on a Monday. Invoices need to go out in a timely manner – but, since this is recurring, Morgen effectively ignores it. In both cases, Morgen does not "see" missed (unchecked) tasks after they are due. In fact, such tasks are late, and should be prioritized. Feature request Have Morgen treat the earliest unchecked recurring task as the "next" task, and prioritize it accordingly. This way, if either of the above tasks are not checked, the following day Morgen will treat them as important, remind me, and try to reschedule just those missed tasks.

Problem: Most of my tasks within a task list are relevant to a specific calendar. Currently, when I make a task within the hypothetical task list "Calendar 1 Task List", it adds the task to the most recently used calendar. Then I have to change the task calendar to the relevant calendar "Calendar 1". Proposed solution: Within properties for each task list, there should be a "choose associated calendar" selector. An alternative (or additional) solution would be to have the option to create task lists from your calendar list. e.g. in "Settings > Accounts > Calendar 1 properties" add a "create task list from calendar" on/off button.

Option to set an alarm that sounds and needs to be manually turned off for tasks/events (like an alarm clock that needs to be turned off) on both mobile and windows. Currently, if you set the "reminder", you will only get a notification, but you might miss it.. or read it too late... Instead, it would be great to be able to set an alarm for extremely important tasks/events, such as a call you have to make at a certain time

Optionally start a timer (focus mode?) for a scheduled task, that sounds an alarm when the task ends.

Not long ago, Morgen added the possibility to create tasks as small as 5 minutes, which was great. However, it became a challenge to add several smaller tasks to the calendar. The calendar either gets cluttered, or you have to adjust the time display resolution to 5 minutes, making it impossible to view a full day without scrolling up and down the window on a typical monitor. As a solution, I wish it were possible to create timeboxes as an alternative type of event. One could then drag and drop tasks into the timebox. The time box could be expanded to view all the tasks in greater detail. If I need to rearrange the day, instead of moving each task to another time slot, I could just move the whole timebox. The timebox could also be labeled. This feature would solve both the time resolution problem and the clutter problem. It would speed up the process of rearranging tasks and events. It would also support the popular time boxing and task batching technique. For example, I could gather several small email-related tasks from different projects (lists) and add them to a time box. When the Morgen team adds task tags, this will become even more effective. I’ve added a quick sketch of how it could look.

Daily Planning Rituals Morning Review: Introduce a "Morning Review" ritual that encourages users to start their day with a quick overview of their tasks, events, and priorities. This could be an automated prompt that appears when the user first opens Morgen each day, guiding them through a series of steps to organize their day. The ritual could include: - Reviewing tasks and calendar events for the day. - Prioritizing tasks by dragging and dropping them into a hierarchy of importance. - Adding or adjusting tasks based on the current day's goals. Focus Time Allocation: Incorporate a feature that allows users to allocate specific blocks of time throughout their day for focused work on their most important tasks. This could be integrated with the calendar view, enabling users to directly drag tasks into time slots, helping them balance their workload with their available time. End-of-Day Reflection: A "Daily Reflection" ritual could be introduced, prompting users to reflect on their achievements and challenges at the end of the day. This could include: - Marking completed tasks and reviewing pending ones. - Adding quick notes about what went well or what could be improved. - Rolling over or rescheduling tasks for the next day. Integrations and Automation: To enhance these rituals, consider deeper integrations with productivity tools and automation platforms (e.g., TickTick, Notion, Zapier). This would allow users to sync tasks and automate the organization process, making daily planning even more seamless. Analytics and Insights: Finally, providing users with weekly or monthly analytics based on their daily rituals could help them identify patterns in their productivity, allowing for continuous improvement. This feature could offer insights into task completion rates, focus time effectiveness, and more.

I want to be able to create a note attached to a task list (not a single task). In that note one could add things like the goals, deadlines for the task list/project, links to important documents, websites, etc.

Suggestion for a taskview that looks like a kanban board, with every list having its own column, to get a better overview.

Many task managers like Todoist, Ticktick and Clickup allow you to create "Filtered" lists. I'd love the ability to use "WHERE AND OR NOT" logic to see certain tasks in a "filtered list". Example use cases: Show all tasks WHERE project is [Project] And planned start is [Today] Show all tasks WHERE due date is [next 7 days] but NOT [Project]

We should be able to create repeats for tasks without needing to first schedule them on the calendar. This would allow me to schedule them each day at an appropriate time, and I think this is a more natural way of dealing with repeating tasks. Some examples: I want to phone my mother once a week. It is not realistic for me to phone her at the exact same time on the same day every week. It would be better for me to get the task in my "Today" list (on the day it repeats) and then for me to schedule it at the time that works best in my particular day. I want to walk my dog every day. Because of the weather, early morning meetings, or different exercise durations for different days, I can't schedule this at the same time every day. But it is a task that must be completed each day, but at different times as is appropriate. Hope this helps! Would love to see this!
