Feature requests

Should be able to work on the same task multiple different time slots over multiple days. (Eg. working on an assignment over the course of a week. Maybe I spend 2 hours a day on it. And maybe I have a break in betwen - like I work on it between 9-10 and then have a meeting and come back and work on it at 11-12. I should be able to schedule the same task over multiple timeslots. Like Sunsama. (This is the one feature I need that will prevent me from using this app)

I would like the calendar view to display the completed tasks. [problem] Currently, the timebox screen only has the "projected timebox" -- that is, the view that shows when each task is EXPECTED to be completed on. However, we often complete the task at a different timeslot/duration than when we expect. For example, * I schedule some task to be done at 10am. However, I actually complete it at 11am. * I originally estimated the task to take 15 minutes. It actually took me 30 minutes. [Story] I would like ellie to be able to display the actual time on the timebox/calendar view so that I can achieve two things: * Be able to give me an overview of how I ACTUALLY spent time * Be able to compare (in a single view) how my estimation/plan differs from the actual [Details] More specifically, I imagine features like the following are needed to achieve this. * A timebox view option to display the actual times in addition to the expected timebox * Once the task is completed (checked off), it adds the task to the "actual" view as follows. ** Use the "actual time" to create the actual timebox that ends at the current time, when the task is checked off. ** If actual time is not set, then just use the estimate (assume that it took the same time as the estimate) * The actual view should be editable. In particular, ** User can drag the "actual" timebox in the calendar, to indicate that the task was completed prior to/later than the current time. (Sometimes, users might check off the task later than when it was actually completed) ** User can drag to expand / shrink the actual timebox to adjust the actual time taken visually, and this will get reflected to the value of the "actual time". [note] I would also like the feature to allow for setting multiple actual timeboxes per task (to indicate that the task was completed in multiple timespans), but I think there's a separate ticket for it, so I won't mention it here. [reference] I think you can refer to sunsama's timeboxing feature. I really would like something very similar to the experience of sunsama timeboxing.

It would be great to be able to use bullet points in the notes section of tasks!

Add option to duplicate task (in incomplete status) to a specific day. The current functionality adds to the current day only and will mark the task as completed if you copy from a completed task.

On mobile devices I would like to touch and drag tasks to assign it to a new date eg dropping it over a date on the timeline. This saves me a lot of time when I need to reschedule and plan the week/days. Today, to change the task’s date one need to edit the task and set a new date.

Including shutdown, I’d love for the daily planning to be a feature in the mobile app. So that in case I don’t have easy access to my laptop in the morning, I can easily start my day using my phone. Thanks 😊

If there are two tasks overlapping the same time, only one will show and the other one is not visible.

Button or shortcut to auto schedule a task to the next available slot Would be interesting if this could be smart somehow and take into account previously scheduled tasks/preferences/etc...

Request: Make Ellie app accessible in Slide Over and Slide View Use Case: For those that use more than one app for planning, it would be a great benefit to have Ellie in Slide Over and Slide view to quickly add tasks to Brain Dump and then transition Ellie back to full view when planning the day/week.
