Task Coach 0.66.0 (Default branch)

align="right" alt="Screenshot" hspace="10" vspace="10">
Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage
personal tasks and todo lists. It grew out of a

those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not

tasks and other things to do consist of several
activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with
composite tasks.

This release adds a translation in Traditional Chinese and a few small feature enhancements, such as an ‘overall categories’ column that recursively shows the categories a task belongs to, persistent column widths, and keyboard shortcuts for cycling through open viewers.
