Quire

I'm a product designer and have worked with a number of productivity tools. Quire was a tool I started using to track production work and I found it helpful enough that I decided to test it out as a personal productivity tool for my home. Unfortunately, it wasn't the right solution and I discontinued use after 3 months. I made a mistake and failed to cancel the annual auto renewal. Most companies are reasonable and will look at usage history to make a fair judgement call on whether to offer refunds on unintentional purchases. Quire's CX team wouldn't make an exception when I contacted them for a refund within 30 days of the auto renewal going through. I paid $400 to use their software for a total of 3 months. Beware of their stringent purchasing and return policy.

I have been using Quire for years and I went on a hunt for any app that could have unlimited nested sub tasks, and none were great and would allow me to do that until Quire! It matches the way I think and I can pour my brainstorming and advanced tasks into it. The Quire team is super helpful and have accepted many of the feedback suggestions and ideas I’ve given as well as many other people. They are super helpful answering questions too in the feedback area. I love how quickly it syncs between platforms and when I share projects with friends. It makes it so easy to plan complicated projects with many steps with sub tasks.

For the love of god stop popping up full screen promotions of your new calendar feature every time I open the app. I’ve dismissed it a dozen times already. I’m not going to upgrade. Another month of this and I might have to migrate to a different task tracker.

I’ve tried hundreds of productivity apps in search of one that “just works” the way I need it to. Quire strikes the balance between just enough and not too much; it’s lean and gets the job done. I appreciate Quire because I can quickly get projects in, and can immediately begin scheduling these projects in relation with one another. I’ve tried apps like Asana, and while great for larger organizes, is too bloated for personal use IME. If you need a GTD app with some light Gantt chart functionality, this is the one!!

I joke with my colleagues and say all the time, if a task doesn’t make it to my Quire, it’s not going to get done. Thanks for all you guys do!

Just kidding, I have more to say. Quire is quite frankly the most well designed project management app I have ever tried; and I’ve tried many. Asana, trello, clickup, monday, todoist, basecamp, the list goes on. Nothing is as simple to use yet robust. I can’t wait until they release their calendar feature. Their timeline view is already great but the calendar view might take things to another level. I know their UX/UI team will do an incredible job designing it. The only thing I wish Quire had was better analytics and integration with github. This is the only “objection” I get when trying to get my development team on the platform.

It lags when scrolling :(

The idea of the app is creative and lovely I managed my task with my own friends easily and smooth 😊, I suggest to add in the app section notification area so can we change the tone when any task added because the default tone is not loud, it well be nice if we can change it to any tone we choose.

Another review said it’s simple but robust and I 100% agree. I’ve tried so many task management systems to no avail on getting and staying consistently organized. Quire has been different in all the best ways. It has a clean interface. The ability to change the views from timeline, list or kaban boards in so unique and customizable to the needs of that specific list. The filter function is helpful and powerful. Highly recommend!

I’ve used many organizational apps, and within 10 minutes of using Quire I was texting my friends about it. It’s SO simple with just the right amount of extended functionality. Pair it with a calendar and content management solution for a bold, zesty finish.
