Beeminder ​

Features ​

The Beeminder integration lets you track your TaskRatchet activity in Beeminder. You can:

  1. Send all new tasks to your default Beeminder goal
  2. Send specific tasks to specific goals using &[goal] in the task name
  3. Send task completions to goals using *[goal] in the task name

Examples:

  • Buy groceries - Sends to your default goal when created
  • Buy groceries &shopping - Also sends to your "shopping" goal when created
  • Buy groceries *shopping - Sends to your "shopping" goal when completed

Each datapoint sent to Beeminder includes:

  • Value: Always 1
  • Date: When the task was created (or completed for *-tags)
  • Comment: Task details including deadline and stakes
