Task2Gather keeps all tasks in the “web cloud”; data is accessible
anytime from iPhone, Mac or PC.
Task2Gather has an hierarchic structure: every task can be divided
into several sub-tasks, and these sub-tasks can be divided further
without limit. Since the tasks created in Task2Gather are stored
online, they can be shared. After sharing tasks users can assign the
“new-comers” responsible for task completion.
