Types of tasks
Tasks in the application are divided into tasks of type:
- ordinary, three-state, which may be in one of three states:
- To do (to realize) marked with icon - the task is waiting to start its realization;
- Doing (during realization, in progress) marked with icon - the task is being just realized;
- Done (realized, completed) marked with icon - the task was completed.
- ordinary, two-state, which may be in one of two states:
- To do (to realize) marked with icon - the task is waiting to be realized;
- Done (realized, completed) marked with icon - the task was completed.
- counter, used for counting:
- repetitions, marked with icon ; each press of such a task increases the counter by 1;
- values , marked with icon ; each press of such a task allows you to enter the value by which the counter is to be increased.
The counter value is displayed at the very bottom of the task description
When the Goal property of counting task is set, the percentage of task completeness is calculated and the appropriate graphical symbol (circle) is drawn on task icon
- timer, which may be in one of four states:
- To do (to realize) marked with icon - the task is waiting for the next measurement of its duration to begin;
- Doing (during realization, in progress; active) marked with icon - the task is being realized and the measurement of its duration is on;
- Pauza (during realization, in progress; suspended) marked with icon - the task is being realized and the measurement of its duration is paused;
- Done (realized, completed) marked with icon - the measurement of the task duration has been completed.
For time tasks, additional information is displayed under the icon (2: 0:02:13) , dependendt on the application settings:
- Total time - the total duration of the measurement, i.e. from the moment the Start button was pressed until the Stop button was pressed;
- Activity time - duration of the measurement, i.e. from the moment the Start button was pressed until the Stop button was pressed, ignorin the time when the task was in Pause.
In both cases, the time given is preceded by a measurement number.

Active and inactive lists
Lists with tasks are grouped on two tabs:
- Active with lists containing tasks whose states can be changed (currently under execution);
- Inactive with lists containing tasks whose states can not be changed (currently not under execution).
Third tab -
Timer - contains all tasks from
active lists that are
timer tasks.
For active lists, information about the number of tasks to realize (to do), during realization (doing) and realized (done) is located on the bar under the name of the list .
The numbers given, depending on the option selected in the settings
Settings /
Go to Settings /
Corti / Section
General /
Count timer tasks, may or may not include timer tasks.
The total number of lists and tasks is also displayed on the badge of the tab with active lists:
- Label with a sign minus, e.g. 1|-0 means: total number of lists: 1, total number of tasks to realize (To do): 0
- Label with a sign plus, e.g. 1|+0 means: total number of lists: 1, total number of realized tasks (Done): 0
- Label without a sign, e.g. 1|0 means: total number of lists: 1, total number of tasks during realization (Doing): 0

Enabling for the selected active list the option
When all done move to Inactive, available after pressing the list details icon
located on the right side of the list (or during its creation), will automatically move the list to the
Inactive when all tasks are in
Done(realized, completed) state.
The list will not be moved to Inactive, even if the option When all done move to Inactive is enabled, if one of its tasks is a timer task. The reason for this is the specificity of timer tasks that can be repeatedly started and ended as part of many measurements.
For inactive lists, the number of tasks to realize (to do), during realization (doing) and realized (done) is not displayed under the list name.
For each inactive list you can set in the field Activate on date, available by pressing the list details display icon located on the right side of the list (or during its creation), the date of the autoactivation of the list, which will be signaled by displaying this date on the right under the list name .
