title: which task management add-on to use
---
So far I have three options:
- [[Day Planner]]
- [[Task Notes]]
- [[Task Genius]]

## day planner
- 

### day planner testing

you get a section in daily note like this
- [ ] 07:20 - 08:30 this is a time block on the calendar
      [clock::2025-12-23T07:29:47--2025-12-22T07:42:45]
      [clock::2025-12-23T07:43:32--2025-12-22T07:43:42]
#### pros
- time blocks and time recording 

#### cons
- calendar integration - imported everything, can only read calendar (but this kinds fits the work flow if day planner)
- time blocks are there own tasks (cannot be linked to existing -- unless there some retrospective linking/querying??)
- can't sum, query, do anything this recorded time???
## task notes
- The usual features
- each task is it's own mark down file
- task timer (multiple per task)
- estimated time
- kanban board
- calendar + Google calendar integration 
- task dependency 
- agender

### task notes testing
- it's not easy to see the tracked time, seems unfinished
- 
## day planner
- integrates with the **tasks** and **daily note** plugins
- time blocking, but records the blocks in daily note

## task genius
- this is essentially a way of bringing together multiple sources for task (ie calendar, notes)
### task genius testing
- the timer information is not accessible, you can export, but to a json
- calendar integration - imported everything, can only read calendar
- the different views are really good
