New in iTaskX 5.0.0 (Feb 22, 2021)
- iTaskX 5 brings a refined new design that gives you even more of the things you love about iTaskX. But it’s not just about how much better the interface looks. It’s also about how much better it works. In addition to the new interface which fits perfectly to macOS Big Sur and new features, iTaskX 5 now also exploits the full performance potential of the new Macs with Apple Silicon.
- Discover the possibilities.
- Agile project management methods:
- Manage agile projects using simple, visual task boards that support Kanban, or custom workflows. Choose whatever methodology makes sense for your project: agile, waterfall, or hybrid.
- The use of agile project management methods in iTaskX Pro has many advantages:
- Flexibility
- Reduction of wasted work / wasted time
- Increased productivity
- Team members' ability to focus
- Reworked Styles and format options:
- All format functions in one place. With a few clicks, you can format your tasks, resources or your whole schedule.
- The new styles and format options save time and increase your productivity.
- Starting with iTaskX 4.5 you can also adjust the appearance of links to your needs.
- Manually scheduled tasks:
- iTaskX has traditionally been its ability to recalculate task schedules when you change the project start date or a change to one task’s schedule affects one or more linked tasks. This powerful behavior saves you from having to rethink and reenter dates to rescheduled tasks throughout the project.
- But flip sides to the benefits of automation always exist, and in the case of project scheduling, automatic scheduling can lead to unwanted schedule changes based on software behavior and not on human expertise.
- To retain the helpful aspects of automation that make scheduling less time-consuming while allowing project managers to retain schedule control when needed, iTaskX allows user-controlled scheduling.
- If you want to use this behavior by default for new tasks, you can specify this in your project options.
- New resource management:
- Using the new resources inspector in iTaskX makes handling resources a breeze – you can create, edit and assign resources in one place. In the brand new iTaskX Resource Inspector, it does not matter if you want to assign resources to a single task or multiple tasks at once.
- To assign a resource, simply select a task and enter the units or cost in the field right beside the resource name. It can't be easier!
- Columns, Columns, Columns…:
- iTaskX now gives you access to over 275 different task columns and 230 freely configurable resource columns for all situations.
- For example, in addition to the existing Notes column, iTaskX now offers 30 individually configurable text columns.
- And best of all, you can exchange all these new columns with Microsoft Project!
- Thus, iTaskX offers the most comprehensive support for Microsoft Project among all project management solutions available for macOS.

New in iTaskX 4.0.0 (Aug 1, 2019)
- iTaskX 4 supports now the macOS Dark Mode. Choose what works best for you - the familiar light appearance, the new Dark Mode or a mixture of both. Definitely an elegant interface design that feels entirely fresh. But it’s not just about how much better the interface looks. It’s also about how much better it works.
- Reworked Styles and Themes:
- All format functions in one place. With a few clicks, you can format your tasks, resources or your whole schedule.
- The new styles and themes save time and increase your productivity.
