Today is the day Quire goes big. The day we present Quire Mark II to you, the best-ever-made collaborative task management app to bring your ideas to life.

“Genius is in the idea. Impact, however, comes from action,” said Simon Sinek. Many people have a dream, and they talk about it with every bit of exciting details. What makes it even more exciting is to realize it, to really make a difference. Imagine you adding your own color to the painting called the world!

This is exactly where Quire - Quire Mark II to be more precise - comes in. To help you evolutionize your life, revolutionize the world.

Faster switching is not a small thing. Gloria Mark's team at UC Irvine found it takes about 23 minutes to refocus after an interruption, and features like Blink Search exist to keep you from losing that time hopping between projects.

What’s new in Quire Mark II?

Capturing your ideas, and breaking them down for achievement are what we do best. Now, Quire Mark II sets a new standard for accomplishing them with ease, and a little grace. And it opens up possibilities for anchoring your dreams in reality.

Smart Folders: View all related projects at once

To start off, we have smart folder, a folder of different projects from different organizations where you can review, reorganize your ideas and tasks in them.

Profile View: Understand the performance of each project and member

Profile view lets you see in a glance how healthy your projects, organizations and team members are with for instance the % of your completed tasks, and the # of tasks your members are responsible for this week.

Blink Search: Find exactly what you have in mind in an instant

In addition to full-text search, we also got Blink Search for you to fast find whatever you have in mind, and easily switch between all your projects, organizations and members. Press Ctrl+B or Cmd+B (for Mac), type a few characters and get exactly what you want!

Dark Theme: Feel comfortable even when it is late at night

Bored with the light theme? You can now switch to Monochrome Dark for an amazing contrast in your workspace, and to let your eyeballs rest.

That is not all!

There is so much to enjoy in the all-new Quire. Here are a few little touches we think you are going to love:

Floating Detail Panel: Keep your workspace clean without any noise

To keep your workspace clean without any clutter, we made the detail panel flippable. And it is easy to flip it open with SPACE if needed.

Members in Sidebar: Easily check the status of every one of your members

We got all your members listed in the sidebar, so you can easily click on them to check their status.

Precise Context Menu: Pinpoint what you need quickly, wherever you need it

When you right-click on the item that needs your attention, we simplified the context menu for you to quickly pinpoint what you need.

For example, when you right-click on tags:

What is next for Quire after Mark II?

It is wonderful how the existing task tree view helps you see the big picture of your ideas in a nested, hierarchical list. But there is more than one angle to see your project.

We will start with calendar view, where you can see in a timely manner what needs to be done on what day, week and month.

Next, to better focus on your tasks at hand, we will roll out kanban view, so you can easily finish one or two tasks at a time in a visualized, prioritized flow of your work.

What is even more amazing? Intelligent Spotlight, essentially AI that we are currently exploring and aiming to suggest you the most likely important tasks for the day.

These are what we are doing for the next phase of Quire Mark II at the moment. It is going to be better than great!
