Task View Today Shortcut

47 votes

I would like a new shortcut added that shows only tasks with a due date of "Today/Overdue". While being able to see what needs to be done across the week is nice, it's just extra clutter to sort through when I'm trying to get the tasks that need to be done "today".
This is a pretty major stumbling block to being able to nicely use the app as a sole task manager.

It's definitely a good idea, but I think the calendar will solve this pretty adeptly. Feel free to suggest this again in a few months if you find otherwise?

I too would love to see this especially coming from other ToDo apps

I would like to request the addition of a feature that allows users to filter tasks specifically for those due today or past-due. Currently, the system only offers a "Due This Week" filter, which is not sufficient for my needs. Having the ability to easily identify tasks that are due today or overdue is crucial for effective task management.

"Feature that allows users to filter tasks specifically for those due today or past-due" (suggested by M L on 2023-06-05), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

This seems like an absolute requirement for many users. Especially users that you want to attract from apps like Todoist, TickTick, Microsoft Todo, etc. Virtually all Todo list manager apps have this as a core feature. I know you can see them on the calendar but seeing them in a list without being mixed in with appointments, etc is how many of us are used to working with todo lists. Thanks for a great app!

This is a must! Such a small addition but with a lot of user value.

Calendar doesn't solve the user need because:
1) Tasks and Calendar have totally different use cases. While the Calendar is needed for scheduling Tasks is needed to process one's work BEFORE scheduling. A large number of tasks is cumbersome to sort in the Calendar and so is not at all a replacement for a list view (Tasks).
2) Some of the users (me included) do not plan at all on the calendar level. I'm getting 80% of my efficiency boost just from Notes and Tasks.

Related to #2, I feel that Amplenote shouldn't force users to switch to Calendar for daily sorting especially since filters (such as Due This Week) already exist in Tasks. It would perhaps be a different thing if Amplenote had a design philosophy against "filters" completely. But since it doesn't it makes sense to offer standard filters similarly to almost any other task management app.
