Quire is an online task management application that enables users to capture ideas and help break them into smaller tasks, as small as they want to. It adopts the branching principle into task management, creating a simple and visual application that is easy to learn and natural for the brain to understand. But what sets it apart is its simple and elegant user interface that users appreciate the most.
Features, Benefits, Product Strengths
- Visual Task and Project Management - Quire Quire task management application allows users to capture ideas, break them into smaller tasks, and organize them in a visual tree-like structure that shows logical relationships with the other tasks. A nested task list is a unique feature that enables users to see and organize ideas into a well planned list of small, actionable to-dos. It is a more effective structure than a list. The application allows the use of different levels, such as tasks, projects, organization and a smart folder that virtually cuts across organizations. With the launch of the Quire Mark III last year, a Kanban board has made the execution of to-dos much easier. Kanban boards help users visualize work progress. They are able to focus on what matters by grouping crucial tasks to a board. They can also set start and due dates to see a Gantt-chart view on calendar, while Health Stats provide a visual overview of how well each project or member is performing.
- Real-time Updates and Collaboration - The online task management app is hosted in secure AWS servers that provides accessibility and availability anywhere. Updates are immediate for all team members to see. My Tasks allows users to stay on top of tasks assigned to them across all projects. It includes built-in instant messaging to see instantly who said what about whose tasks. Permission control allows them to create an external team that works only on tasks assigned to them. Other features include sending tasks to multiple assignees, and following or adding followers to a task or project. A notification center keeps everyone updated and on track, while reminders alert them of upcoming or due tasks across devices. Projects can be shared publicly via a URL.
- File Sharing, Integration, Mobility, Export/Import, and more - Quire also works well with third party apps. Users can upload/attach files from Google Drive to their tasks, or set tasks as events on Google Calendar. It also integrates with Slack and GitHub, and a Chrome extension is available. Native iOS and Android apps are available to use the application while on the go, including using Siri for Tasks. Other features include recurring tasks, favorites, export of project data to CSV or JSON format, pasting of content from Word or Excel into the app without the need to re-type, and importing project data from other PM software.
