Whether you’re in between meetings, on your daily commute or just in line for a latte you can keep track of yours and your teammates’ tasks wherever you are. Outplanr App is available for iOS and Android making it easy to quickly access your Work Panel, including your tasks and events, personal tasks, and notifications of the tasks activity you follow.

You can start, pause and complete your tasks on the go. You can also add new tasks and events and assign them to yourself or your team. If you’re not using Outplanr App yet here’s what you can expect:

Stay on Top of Your Work

After logging in, your Work view will be your greeting screen. It includes all your tasks and events. You can use filters to check all tasks set for today, only active tasks set for today, all active tasks or all completed tasks.

On the bottom tab you have three buttons that will direct you to three different screens in the App. The first icon is the My Tasks screen (the app default). The Notifications button is next, followed by the the Settings button.

Play and Pause Your Tasks

Imagine you’re on a business trip and your flight is two hours delayed. What a bummer! Well… you might as well get some work done while you wait. When you start the task you can hit play, letting everyone back at the office know you’re on top of it.

Hit Play to start time tracking a task by sliding to the left on the task name. The task will be highlighted with the Project colour and get a play icon before its name, starting to track the time spent.

When you finish the task check off the checkbox, and the task will be completed right away.

Add Your To-Dos and All Its Details

You can add new tasks by clicking on the “+” button on the top-right corner of your iOS App.

In the Android version, scroll down through your projects until you find the one you need and click on the “Add Task” option right at the bottom of your task list.This task will be included on that project, assigned to you and with the start date of today, by default.

When you click on a task in your task list, you’ll be able to edit its details, add files and comment on the task. Also, you can start, pause, delete and duplicate a task inside the Task Edit board.

Assign Tasks to Your Teammates

This feature can be particularly helpful if you’re running a team, and you have to assign tasks to different members. Simply add the task and change the person to whom it is assigned, by clicking on the user photo in the Edit panel.

They’ll immediately get a gentle notification on their Work View saying you assigned them a task.

Add Your Meetings, Milestones and Deadlines

You just left a meeting at the client’s office and he wants the new website to be launched by September 15. While you’re on an Uber back to the office, access the App, click on the “+” button on the top-right corner and add the deadline as a new Event.

When you click on an event in your task list, you’ll be able to edit its details such as the date, time, location, and add attendees or comments about the event.

Add Tasks to Your Eyes Only

Do you find yourself sitting on the train on your way to the office gazing out to the fields thinking about all you need to do after work?

Let’s see… Buying groceries for the party, picking up your kids from soccer practice, and so on.

You can actually add those to your Personal Tasks Section that is conveniently located on the top of your Project list. To add a new personal task just hit “Add Task” and start typing.

Get Team Updates

The middle button on the bottom tab will direct you to the Notifications screen. It will show a list of the latest activity from your list of followed tasks.

iPhone Notifications

Outplanr in-app notifications are very scarce, to avoid disrupting your workflow. For that reason you’ll only receive an instant notification on your iPhone when you are assigned an Urgent Task in Outplanr.

And there you have it. Outplanr App helps you to take care of your team, tasks, and deadlines without even being at the office.
