Quick Add lets you add multiple tasks at once and add details to the task right in the task title or in the subject line when you create it via email. Once you get the hang of it, you'll save tons of time.

When creating a new task, you can type the date and time as part of the description to save yourself a few clicks.

For example, if you type Perform at Memorial Day Parade on May 31 @ 12pm

GQueues will create a task named Perform at Memorial Day Parade and set a date of May 31st and a time of 12pm

You can type with just about any format and GQueues will figure out what you mean. Here are just a few examples:

❗️Please Note: If you use the date format dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy you can set this preference in the Calendar tab in Settings.

See our Quick Add Syntax Reference for all available syntax.

👉 Pro Tip: Use the ~ to disable Quick Add Syntax for any text following it. “~write minutes for Aug 3rd meeting” or “write minutes for ~Aug 3rd meeting” will create a task titled “write minutes for Aug 3rd meeting” with no date.

The Quick Add Window allows you to enter multiple tasks at once, making it easy to import tasks from elsewhere or create a set of tasks from a text template.

To open the window just click the Quick Add button or type q.

Choose a queue from the dropdown where the new tasks should be created. (If you specify a queue in a task description it will override this setting for that task). Enter one task per line using any of the Quick Add Syntax. Type Enter to get a new line and Shift + Enter to save.
