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...

I have been testing out Ellie and Routine.Co and am much more impressed with the layout of Ellie. One thing that I do think is helpful in Routine is the ability to pull up the dashboard at any time, even when not working in the app, with a hotkey (ex. ctrl+space). https://www.routine.co/features/dashboard When you hit this hotkey, the dashboard pulls up. This allows you to work with the app without having to find it on your computer to open it.

When there is a Mac app, allow users to quickly capture like in Todoist

Have the ability to create, edit, and delete Google calendar events, including optional Zoom or Google Meet meetings. The ability to add your Google contacts would be a big plus!

When typing in a task, have Ellie recognize "by" for due dates, or 10pm for times, etc. Like in Todoist. This would cut the time it takes to create a task in half.

after being marked complete, the timeboxed task reflects the estimated time. but if it took longer or shorter than expected, you might have to rearrange other tasks. it would be helpful to have tasks show the actual time taken to be able to get a more accurate view of the day

For those of trying to go to bed earlier it would be nice to be able to limit the time you can set tasks to something like f.x. 22:00 so you don't visually feel you have more time than you do.

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)

Sometimes, I need to clear my entire day. Currently, it's cumbersome to drag and drop everything when I'm using Ellie for both personal (family of 5) and business (photo, web design and marketing). Even more on mobile since can't just drag and drop into another date on top bar calendar numbers. I'd like to be able to just clear an entire day instantly, without having to manually adjust dates and drag and drop. It doesn't have to be fancy with AI right now, just something where we can choose to reschedule faster. Like, a select option to choose multiple tasks (or everything with the same label) and choosing reschedule a task to tomorrow, this weekend, next week (Monday) and next month (1st). Even just moving everything to the next day all at once would be a start, but then that merges two days and becomes overwhelming.

I mostly use calendar view to time block, and I love that this is the only thing I've found that schedules reoccurring tasks, thank you <3 However, sometimes my schedule gets derailed and I need to readjust a lot at once, so it would be great if I could multi select (like in the tasks view) in the calendar view. Right now the only way I know how to do that is manually remove them each from timebox and that takes a while :( thank you!
