The Tristiks Grow task list: open tasks with client, status, due date, subtasks and time tracked

Every request becomes a task with an owner

Client work arrives as emails, calls and notes to self. In Tristiks Grow each piece of it becomes a task with a due date and someone responsible, linked to its client and project, or kept as your own to-do.

A board that sorts itself by due date

Tasks land in Overdue, Today, This Week or Upcoming by their due date. Drag a card to Done when the work is finished.

A working copy of the Tasks board with sample tasks. Columns fill themselves by due date: Overdue, Today, This Week and Upcoming, plus Unassigned and Done. Drag a card or use its Move to menu to change its due date or finish it, open its subtasks, or add your own column.

Sorted by due date

The date columns fill on their own, so the board always opens on what's due first. Tasks without a date wait in Unassigned.

Columns for your own stages

Add columns such as In review, then rename, move or collapse them. A board holds up to 12 columns.

Drag to plan

Drag cards between columns and put them in the order you'll work on them. Drop one on Today and it's due today.

Break big tasks into subtasks

Split a task into subtasks, each with its own priority, assignee, comments and files, so a large piece of client work becomes steps anyone can pick up.

Subtasks have their own place on the board, so every step moves along at its own pace and you can see exactly which part is holding things up.

Everything about a task, in the task

Give each task a description, a due date, a time estimate and an assignee, and link it to the client and project it's for.

Talk it through in comments and attach the files it needs, so the conversation stays with the work instead of in your inbox.

Track time right from the task

Choose the task in the Tristiks Grow timer and start tracking. Every minute is recorded against the task, its project and its client.

When it's time to invoice, those hours are already on the right client, ready to bill.

FAQ

Task management questions, answered

Still have questions? Talk to our team.

What is task management software?

It's software for planning and following the work that needs doing: what it is, who's doing it and by when. Tristiks Grow keeps your tasks next to your clients, projects, tracked time and invoices, so the work and the billing stay connected.

How does the task board work?

The board sorts tasks into Overdue, Today, This Week and Upcoming by their due date. Tasks without a due date wait in Unassigned, and finished tasks go in Done. You can add your own columns and drag cards between them.

Can I add my own columns?

Yes. Add columns for your own stages, then rename, move or collapse them, up to 12 columns on a board. Unassigned and Done always stay, so every task has somewhere to go.

Can tasks have subtasks?

Yes. Each subtask has its own title, description, Low, Medium or High priority, assignee, comments and attachments.

Does every task have to belong to a client?

No. Link a task to a client and project for client work, or leave both empty to keep it as a personal to-do.

Can I track time on a task?

Yes. Choose the task in the Tristiks Grow timer and the time you track is recorded against that task, its project and its client, ready to invoice.

Can I track bugs as well as tasks?

Yes. Mark any item as a bug instead of a task. Every item gets a short key, such as ALV-14, so it's easy to refer to.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a free 14-day trial, and you don't need a credit card to sign up.
