Common questions (FAQ)
When we get a lot of questions about a particular thing related to a specific feature (e.g. the calendar, date-based scheduling, or time blocking), we provide an answer directly in the documentation page for that particular feature. If you did not find your answer there, we provide answers to other questions or reports we often get on this page.
Please check the Idea Portal first before asking if a certain feature is coming to Lunatask. If you find the feature there, add a vote for it instead. We use the Idea Portal to know what features are important to you and how much demand is for each.
1. Can I create reminders for tasks?
Time blocking has yet to be ported into our mobile app. Still, if you visit Settings → Notification in the mobile app and enable notifications for time-blocked tasks, you will receive mobile notifications for what you scheduled in our desktop app. Read more about notifications & reminders in our documentation.
2. Is Lunatask available in Portuguese, Korean, German, or other languages? Can I help with translating?
3. Scrollbars are missing in the Windows version of the app
4. Can I add images to my notes or journal entries?
If this feature is vital for you, please vote for this feature on our Idea Portal.
5. The app asked me to login again and now my data is gone!
Please double-check your email address. You can do that, for example, by searching your mailbox for past login emails from Lunatask — if you don't find any, you know it's the wrong mailbox.
6. I cannot log in with password in Lockdown Mode on iOS
7. What are the numbers next to tasks?
8. Is there a way to schedule subtasks?
9. Notifications do not work for me in the mobile app
10. Is there a view of all tasks between all areas and goals?
11. Are there any plans for integrating tasks and notes?
Short-term, to some degree. There's a feature coming soon that allows you to paste text, and tasks will be created for each line of that text. You would select a checklist in a note, copy it into your clipboard, switch to your task list, and paste it to create regular tasks for each checklist item. But there won't be any linking between them to, for example, keep the names of tasks in sync with the original checklist and vice versa.
12. Can I delegate or share tasks or notes with my partner, family, etc?
At the moment, it is possible to add tasks to, for example, your children's lists without being able to view their other tasks, journal, or access anything else in their account. You can do that using our email integration or using Shortcuts on iOS and Mac.
13. I don't use the journal or relationship tracking. Can I turn them off?
For example, do we aim our marketing efforts to reach people who would use Lunatask only for task management? Should they pay the the full price for all its features despite that? Should we focus on making task management or notes in Lunatask truly great first or should we evolve all Lunatask features at the same pace? It is a bit of a rabbit hole for us when discussing it and it is a product decision we made.
14. Why sections/statuses hide when there are no tasks in them? I cannot drag and drop tasks easily.
Shift+Left
and Shift+Right
keyboard shortcuts. Once you learn these, you won't want to go back.15. I don't like the curvy font. Can I change it?
16. Why do you have community on Slack and not Reddit or Discord?
17. Is the app's icon supposed to represent a pride flag?
18. I'm a developer/designer/copywriter/etc, and I'd love to help
