Press Release: August 7, 2008
TaskMerlin Organizes Tasks, Notes, and Projects
Interfathom has released TaskMerlin v. 2.0, an intuitive and easy-to-use Windows application
that makes it simple to organize notes and tasks, and share them with colleagues. Unlike other
task managers that lock you into a fixed format, TaskMerlin offers complete flexibility for
naming, structuring, and viewing your tasks.
With TaskMerlin, it is easy to store, organize, manage, and retrieve information. This information
can be as simple as notes and appointments, or as complex as multi-person, multi-year projects. You
can track due dates, the person assigned to each task, its priority, and the time spent working on it.
It's easy to retrieve and display tasks based on these attributes, or on any text found in the task
descriptions.
You can become productive with TaskMerlin in minutes. Create project folders, and drag and drop
tasks into them. Modify status information and content in place, with no need to navigate menus or
open additional windows. You can even edit multiple tasks at once. There are many pre-defined task
types and status descriptions to choose from, or simply create your own.
Use the built-in editor to create task information, or copy and paste text and images. Add
hyperlinks to related tasks and to web pages. All of your information is fully searchable, and you
can sort and filter the information that appears on your screen. Choose from more than 40 columns of
information that are built into TaskMerlin. When creating a new task, its name is the only required
field. It's simple to fill in additional information when it is convenient.
In the Professional Edition, all users can log into TaskMerlin, and update the fields that they
have been authorized to change. Each user has their own password, email settings, popup reminders,
filter definitions, and display options.
TaskMerlin supports Getting Things Done (GTD), the workflow methodology made popular by
productivity trainer and consultant David Allen.
Whether you're a business owner who needs to find a task manager that you can tailor to your exact
needs, a manager who needs to track deadlines and deliverables with your project team, or a home
computer user who doesn't ever want to forget another birthday or anniversary, TaskMerlin has the
tools that you need.
TaskMerlin v. 2.0 runs under Windows Vista/XP/2003/2000/Me/98. The Personal Edition, for use on a
single PC, costs $49.95(US). The Professional Edition, with multi-user simultaneous database access,
costs $99.95 for a single-user license. Multi-user discounts are available. To learn more about

About Interfathom and TaskMerlin:
Interfathom is a software development company located in Manhattan, New York. The company's
owners are particularly interested in the organization of information and the creation of
easy-to-use and flexible information management products for individuals and organizations.
The core TaskMerlin idea was conceived when Interfathom's principal designers were looking,
without success, for a flexible and intuitive task management tool to use in their respective
jobs. They decided to build their own task management software, and to make a tool that would
easily adapt to their individual and changing needs, as well as being scalable from personal
use to multi-user environments.
After further development to accommodate suggestions from a growing number of users, TaskMerlin
was released in 2005 as a commercial product. In line with the original design philosophy,
TaskMerlin continues to evolve and adapt to the diverse and changing needs of Interfathom's
customers, while remaining quick and easy to use.
