Choose your starting screen

Use Homepage to choose the screen TaskPal starts on. You can select an available shortcut, one of your lists or a group chat.

For example, choose Today to start with work due today, or select your main project list. The available shortcuts follow your Shortcuts settings.

To understand the task views before choosing one, see Use Inbox, Today, Assigned to me and priority views.

Choose date, time and calendar preferences

• Time format: choose 13:00 for a 24-hour clock or 1:00 PM for a 12-hour clock.
• Start of the week: choose Monday or Sunday for your calendars.

On Web and Windows, General also includes Date format, with DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY. This separate date-format selector is not currently available in the Mac app.

Set your task preferences

• Expand subtasks by default: choose Enabled to show subtasks beneath their parents, or Disabled to start with them collapsed. You can also expand or collapse a parent using its arrow in the list.
• Add tasks: choose Top or Bottom for where newly added tasks appear in the list.

For adding subtasks, moving tasks and sorting a list, see Create and manage tasks and subtasks.
