OrchardHQCatch the job in the field; tick it off back at the desk.
Say "needs prune in February" while you're standing under the tree. It becomes a dated task. At the desk, the task list groups by month so you can plan the week.
1. Voice a task in the field
Standing under the tree, hit voice and speak the job: "needs prune in February", "spray copper at bud-break", "thin fruit in three weeks". We turn it into a task (not a past-tense observation), pick the kind of job — prune, spray, thin fruit — and snap the due date. Or accept a follow-up the diagnoser already suggested — a single tap turns it into a task linked back to the original photo.
1b. Prefer to type? Use the manual form
Open the tree, tap + Task. Pick what kind of job it is — prune, feed, mulch, spray, harvest, thin fruit, graft, inspect, plant, stake, frost protection — set a due date and a priority (low / medium / high), add a description if you want.
2. Confirm it landed
Recent feed shows the new task with a green tick — type, due date, priority, tree name. The tree's Tasks tab carries it too, and the mobile home-screen Tasks card jumps to anything due today.
3. Back at the desk: the task list
Web Tasks panel has chip filters across the top — All open, This week, This month, Overdue — and a Pending / Done toggle. Group by month to plan; group by tree to prep for a session. Tap Complete to close a task; on a tree-scoped task, hit "I just did this" and we record the matching action (a pruning, a spray, etc.) and link it to the task in one go — so the tree's history shows the work followed the plan.
Bulk-create and annual suggestions
Multi-select trees in the list, hit +Task, fill the form once — one task row per tree. Or hit Generate suggestions and we walk the orchard for you: every planted tree with a known harvest window gets a harvest task in the right month; every planted tree gets a pruning task in the right season for its fruit type (winter for apples and pears, summer for stone fruit to avoid silver leaf). Safe to re-run — it won't double up the year's tasks.
Where it's strongest, and where it isn't yet
Tasks is built around "what's due this week" and "what did we actually do" — the everyday rhythm of orchard work. A few things we're still working on: standalone calendar export, push notifications, and shared assignment across a small team. If you need something we don't yet support, please tell us.
