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.

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.
