ClearContext 5.1 Combines Email, Task and Project Management Inside Outlook Inbox

This week we’re very excited to release the next major evolution of ClearContext.  We’ve always been focused on helping people take control of their inbox with simple and powerful email management tools.  With ClearContext v5.1, we’ve built on that to make it just as easy to stay on top of all your tasks and projects too.

What’s new in 5.1?

In ClearContext Pro v5.1, the ClearContext Dashboard window has been replaced with a sidebar inside the Outlook inbox that brings many task and project features to the forefront of the product.  For more extensive task management, we’ve also added a powerful Task Organizer to review and edit tasks in bulk.  Here’s a quick overview of the new Sidebar and Task Organizer functionality:

  • View the status of projects due now, active projects, or find any project
  • Pin your most important projects for quick access to them
  • Easily edit or create new tasks right in the sidebar
  • View tasks filtered by date/category/priority/etc

ClearContext Sidebar – Project Tabs

  • Jump to the associated email folder for any project
  • Add free-form notes (for call logs, reminders, etc) to projects
  • View and create/edit project tasks
  • View associated files and contacts
  • Easily move/rename projects

Task Organizer

  • Launch from menu/toolbar or sidebar Manage Tasks buttons
  • Change due dates on tasks in bulk
  • Manage and view tasks by project, category, priority, etc
  • Review completed or pending tasks
  • When the ClearContext sidebar is closed, a Task Reminder window will pop up when you have several overdue tasks.

Here’s a clip of the new features in action:

We look forward to hearing your feedback on all of the new functionality so we can continue to make it even better for you!
