In this day and age, everyone is busy with a million things to do. Its almost impossible to keep up!
Which is why its so important to keep your life and business organized. Meet TaskUp, a simple yet robust Task Management application that can keep your daily “To-Dos” in order. Similar to the project management tool Producteev, TaskUp is more focused strictly on doing one thing well…keeping you organized and on track with your daily/weekly/monthly tasks.
The first glance of TaskUp
TaskUp is a web based application. So I didn’t need to download or install anything on my PC. I just went to the website and signed up for an account. This was all I needed to get started. At a first glance the app seemed simple, flexible yet powerful. The interface is clean and tidy and I had no problems to tag, prioritize and drag & drop tasks into lists. In short, I was organized in a few seconds.
Why I love TaskUp
The biggest strength of TaskUp is its easy interface. Even my 8 year old kid could use this. It is so simple. There are some amazing features in it such as setting priorities, tagging, due date and notes. With all those features, it was impossible for me to miss a deadline. In addition, I have found the task lists really helpful. This helped me to organize all my similar tasks in a list quickly and efficiently. Besides that, searching through tasks, due dates and details are also very easy with the instant results of TaskUp.
I found the notification feature of TaskUp also very handy. It automatically sends notifications to me on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and reminds me what else I have left undone. Besides that, there are unlimited undo’s in TaskUp. So even if I make a mistake, I can always go back in time. This tiny little app also supports Facebook, Google, Paypal, Foursquare and Github. So I don’t need to make any new passwords or accounts as well.
Secured access at any time
Another feature that I really like about TaskUp is that it can be synchronized with the cloud. So all my tasks and updates can be easily saved without even pressing the saved button. In addition, it is also secured. So far I know that they use bank grade security and also provides client side encryption as well. Although I am not paranoid about confidentiality, I would love to use them if I had some critical information.
Looking forward for more features from TaskUp
Although the current features were all enough for me, I have heard that TaskUp is going to introduce some new features as well. It will have an Instant Sync feature very soon. So, hopefully I will be able to synchronize all my tasks in my iPad, iPhone or Mac when I will make any changes in the TaskUp website. In addition, I am also expecting to get Group Collaboration as well. So, I can’t wait more for all those features.
Cons of TaskUp
I have only one thing as a con for TaskUp. The free version is good but it can only save 200 tasks. While the unlimited plan is priced at US$ 25 per year the business version costs US$ 99.99, there is a free trial version for unlimited package. But it could have been great to have a free trial version for the business package as well.
Overall rating
In overall, I would rate this app 9 out of ten. This is a must use and really handy tool for everyone. Try it yourself and you won’t disagree with me.

Hi Mark!
We’ve launched some new features and if you’re still on the listserv you should have received an email about 2 weeks ago! We’ve come a long way from where we first started, and with some serious user traction, and a lot more coming through, we provided our first tutorial to inform users on the majority of TaskUp’s functionality:

Hi Mark and appsrevealed.com readers!
The TaskUp team has been heads-down in Boston working on making TaskUp awesome so we thought we’d provide you a quick update!
Overall: 2 new features, a new blog & a whole lot of bug fixes & UI enhancements!
1. Tasks by Email
Tired of having work/friend’s emails just sit in your mailbox?
TaskUp now allows you to turn your emails into tasks for yourself and your co-workers & friends!
Ever find yourself wishing you could transform incoming emails into tasks, automatically?
You can now add up to 5 additional email addresses through which you can receive tasks in your account.
That’s more than plenty for all your personal and work email accounts!
- To create a task for yourself:
Reply or Forward the email to/cc/bcc ‘track@taskup.com’
- To Create a task for someone else:
Reply or Forward the email to the person e.g. name@domain.com and cc/bcc: track@taskup.com
Note: The subject of the email becomes the ‘Task Name’ and the email content appears in the ‘Notes’
To get set up, sign in, click on the Settings icon in the bottom left corner of TaskUp, and enter your additional email addresses in the “Incoming Tasks” tab.
2. Tasks by Text Message (SMS)
As we continue to develop our mobile apps, we wanted to give our users an alternate way to get their tasks in on the go.
Enter task by Text Message!
To get set up, sign in, click on the Settings icon in the bottom left corner of TaskUp, and enter your cell phone number in the “Incoming Tasks” tab.
Once set up, text (617) 300-0437 with your tasks and they will be automatically created in your inbox!
