Introduction
nTask is all about helping you get more done in as little time as possible. Finding a specific task out of all your work is often a tiresome and time-consuming process. That’s the reason nTask gives you the option to filter search tasks by your desired parameters. nTask also has the functionality of keeping your search parameters saved. This not only saves you time but also the energy of putting in all the parameters repeatedly.
