Read & Write
With “To Do” you can create, delete and modify tasks. You can even edit due dates, priority and much more. So, when iCal and Mail are closed, you don’t have to bother opening heavy apps.
Keyboard Navigation
You’re the keyboard guy? Then you’ll like “To Do”: Navigate through your tasks with the up and down arrows, hit enter to edit the title, hitting 0, 1, 2 or 3 sets the priority accordingly, backspace or delete removes a task and ⌘N… yeah, you got it.
Slick Interface
“To Do” fits perfectly into your Dashboard. You’ll feel familiar with its design similar to Mail’s To Do and Notes window. Additionally, you can resize it to your needs.
Integrated
When you mark a task as done, change its priority or delete it, you’ll see the change immediately in Mail and iCal and vice versa.

Integrated

Just like the Mac’s Finder application, you can label any task or task folder in Check Off using a colors label. Labels are a great way to visually categorize your tasks based on their context or any other organizational pattern you see fit.
You can also assign your own name to the labels via Check Off’s preferences: just like the Finder.

Backboard
Collecting and organizing tasks is nice and liberating. But they have to be done someday. When it comes to “doing something” the most important criteria are context and priority.
Priority
You can order tasks by priority by pressing the “Date” column. Tasks with a high priority have the same severity as tasks which have to be done today (attached with a date).
Context
There doesn’t exists a specific Context feature. But ‘Context’ means to describe a task more specific. Basically you have two ways to do this:
- Add the Context inside the task text. (e.g. “@Call Martha” or “@Design feature.html”)
- Or create a “Context”-list inside each Backpack Page (see screenshot)
By entering the current context (e.g. @Call) you get all tasks which can be done in this context and ordered by their priority.
Hint: The filter will also have an effect if you print your tasks.
