MeisterTask

MeisterTask lets you manage your projects. In this respect, the client allows you to keep track of all the tasks that make up your project, even if they involve the participation of many other people.

Since the app stores all your data on the Cloud, it is necessary to have a MeisterTask account to log in. The tool is easy to use. Moreover, there is a brief introduction to help you when you access it for the first time.

The desktop client has a dashboard from where you can access such basic operations as starting a new project, adding tasks and editing checklists. Besides, you can keep track of the status of your projects and tasks. Additionally, the app lets you pick collaborators for your projects, who can also modify tasks and upload files. Moreover, the dashboard also shows notifications about any changes or mentions of your user name by other participants.

The tool allows performing such task management operations as sorting, delegating, planning, prioritizing, organizing, tracking and reporting. In this respect, it is very convenient that it lets you establish relationships among the different tasks. This way, you can avoid repeating the same task unnecessarily. Likewise, setting task hierarchies leads to automatically blocking dependent tasks until the main task has been completed. In terms of tracking, the tool can record exactly how long each task took to complete. Similarly, it is also possible to create recurring tasks so that you do not need to create them repeatedly.

Good news is MeisterTask seamlessly integrates with other services, including Dropbox, Zendesk, Google Drive, GitHub and Slack. Likewise, you can access your projects from anywhere. Set up recurring tasks for to-dos that need to be repeated and never start from scratch again. In this respect, you do not even need a desktop client as you can also access from a web browser. Unfortunately, the tool becomes completely useless when there is no Internet connection as it keeps no local copies of your work.

All in all, MeisterTask can improve your efficiency by allowing collaboration and suiting various workflows. The Basic plan lets you use the services for free without time limits. However, if you want to access more advanced features, like workflow automation and third-party integration, you need to purchase a Pro or a Business plan instead.
