Today we're releasing some major features for Apollo. They will let you manage your tasks more efficently and stay more organized.
Let’s face it: task lists don’t always cut it; sometimes you just want to slice and dice your tasks as you see fit.
With this update, you can now group your task anyway you like.
Hi there!
those of you who are using the Add Task modal dialog a lot, rejoice!
As you may already know, the Add Task modal dialog is a handy dialog you can reach anytime by clicking on the little task icon near the timers (bottom left on the screen).

Hi Friends,
This entry is to announce two exciting features in Apollo:
As a member of staff at Applicom, I got to use these features well in advance and I just couldn't believe how much they helped me in my day-to-day work. I can see why a lot of users requested them!

Are they super-humans? No, they are simply people who know that it's not how much you work that counts, but how you do it.
