Here are some voices, how sanotask helps

David, IT Consultant

I run a small IT consulting business, and Sanotask has become my constant companion. I actually use two separate Sanotask apps—one for collaborating with external developers and one for my personal planning.

I use Sanotask daily because it forces me to stay focused on my single most important goal at any given time. That’s not always easy, but seeing my top priority front and center helps me avoid getting distracted by less important tasks.

I’ve entered all of my personal and professional to-dos—like “Call client X” or “Pick up the kids from kindergarten on Thursday”—and I don’t have to think about them again until the right day comes. Then, Sanotask automatically shows them in my backlog or today’s to-do list.

But really important, every day I check my goal display and define the one task that’s strategically most important for me right now—the one that will bring me closer to achieving my goal. I dedicate at least two hours to that task first thing in the morning. It’s a game changer: I get the most important thing done before anything else, and only then do the duties of the day come.

I particularly like the problem solver, although I use Sanotask for everything, especially to quickly note down things I mustn’t forget. Let me illustrate it with an example:

Some time ago, we encountered an issue where certain users stopped using a specific feature of our device after about two months. We simply couldn’t figure out why. Clearly, something about the feature didn’t appeal to them.

So we described the situation to the Problem Solver, and it suggested investigating five possible causes—one of which we hadn’t even considered before. We then adjusted the user interface in that particular area, and since then, users have been happy to use the feature again.

I have to admit, we primarily use the collaboration feature for our communicaton and administration of our projects. We’ve also tried the built-in Kanban view since we’re familiar with that from other tools, but I keep coming back to the six-panel interface.

The big advantage is that you can rename the column headers freely. Plus, compared to Kanban, I gain two extra fields and a calendar.

We use those two additional panels—one yellow and one green—for storing long-term items like specifications and documentation. And the calendar is fantastic: it lets you reschedule tasks or adjust priorities with simple drag-and-drop functionality.

Karen, Working Mother of 2

When you’re working and have two kids, there’s basically never enough time. I mainly use Sanotask to make the most of the time I do have, to stay organized, and to free up mental space.

For example, I always jot down my shopping list in the app—it’s super quick to add things on the go. My husband uses the same app, so either of us can add items, and whoever happens to do the shopping just grabs what’s on the list.

But the beauty of it is, it’s not just a shopping list—it’s more like my personal assistant (and memory) across all areas of life. If I think of something long-term, I simply enter it in the appropriate section, add a date if needed, and then I can forget about it—because it’ll pop up in my action list at just the right moment.

I don’t even need a separate calendar anymore.

And a little side story: my husband also uses the app and recently entered a reminder to buy me a gift for our anniversary next month—completely forgetting that I’d see it too. So now I’m extra curious what the surprise will be!

Anne K. is Currently Starting Her Own Business.

I’m currently starting my own business and planning to open a flower shop—and it really is quite an adventure to leave behind the security of a steady job. But it’s important to me to do something that truly brings me joy, and yes, I’ve always wanted to be my own boss.

That said, I underestimated just how complex self-employment can be. I’m really glad I stumbled upon Sanotask by chance. Every day, new things pop into my head—things I absolutely mustn’t forget: registering my business, finding a tax advisor (which I didn’t have before), sorting out supplier issues, visiting the wholesale market, even dealing with a broken awning at my new shop.

Now, whenever something comes to mind, I jot it down in Sanotask’s blue section. Once I add a date to it, the system automatically moves it into the orange section, so I have a clear overview of everything that’s scheduled.

I also use the app for personal tasks—this way, I can tick things off and focus only on what truly matters today. I’m no longer stressed about everything else, because it simply shows up in my to-do list at just the right time.
