Question 1

How do I get started with Overtask?

Accepted Answer

After signing up, you'll go through our guided onboarding process. We'll help you set your working hours, connect your calendar, and create your first tasks. The AI will immediately start scheduling based on your preferences and priorities.

Question 2

What information does Overtask need to schedule effectively?

Accepted Answer

Overtask works best when you provide task deadlines, estimated duration, priority levels, and your working hours. The more context you give (like 'deep work task' or 'can be done in small chunks'), the smarter our AI scheduling becomes.

Question 3

Do I need to connect my calendar to use Overtask?

Accepted Answer

While not required, connecting your calendar significantly improves scheduling accuracy. Overtask supports Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and ICS file imports to see your existing commitments and schedule around them.

Question 4

Which calendar platforms does Overtask support?

Accepted Answer

Overtask currently integrates with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook Calendar, and supports ICS file imports. This covers most major calendar platforms and allows you to maintain your existing workflow while benefiting from AI scheduling.

Question 5

Will Overtask modify my existing calendar events?

Accepted Answer

No, Overtask never modifies your existing calendar events. It reads your calendar to understand when you're busy and schedules tasks around your existing commitments. Only Overtask-created task blocks will appear in your calendar.

Question 6

How often does Overtask sync with my calendar?

Accepted Answer

Calendar syncing happens in real-time. When you add new events to your calendar or update existing ones, Overtask automatically adjusts your task schedule within minutes to accommodate the changes.

Question 7

Can I choose which calendar to sync tasks to?
